## Appearance

### **Physical**

William has dark brown skin, cascading black dreadlocks, a small black goatee and a short beard, frowning, furrowed, bushy black brows, and dark grey eyes cross-stitched with black thread.

### **Outfit**

William wears a white toga with black-and-gold hems wrapped around his torso and draped over his right shoulder, a white shawl with gold embroidery draped over his shoulders, with the wing-shaped hem flapping gently at the left of his back, skin-tight black shorts, a cross of two ropes cinching his waist, gold pauldrons with silver details, matching wristguards and leg guards, and gold sandals with silver straps and matching wings sticking out of the ankles, one on either sandal.

### **Rugby Ball**

The Rugby Ball is now a shiny, pure gold football.

### **Special Effects**

Small white feathers come off his cape, and lines of gold trail behind him as he moves.
