Will

## Appearance

**Will** is an indigo blob of DPSS Fluid (referred to as "Will Juice" casually) with a propeller to suspend himself and a busted antenna. The appearance typically depicted has at least one smiling mouth sticking out of the substance with many eyes, alongside two light purple, gooey limbs; however, these elements can be changed at will.

## Personality

The best way to imagine Will is as the most innocent aspects of a child in one being; Will isn’t capable of the idea of harming anybody, be it physical or emotional. However, Will *is* prone to making logical jumps and having emotional outbursts when he can’t understand something. He exclusively wishes for the best of both himself and everybody around him. He often runs on a bit of a one-track mind, seeking one thing and one thing only either until he forgets or he gets it. Will also just inherently isn’t the brightest.

He knows very little about how the world operates. Will speaks in a "self-taught" version of English, inferred from others' conversations; however, he often substitutes random words and phrases that don't fit; his speech is incredibly broken and nonsensical.

## History

It was strange- a deep blue, thick, unstable fluid that had apparently never been documented had begun seeping upwards from the flooring of the newest Tyresum building. The fluid had made its way to the surface from an obscured, large, underground reservoir disturbed by the construction of the building. As Count's intrigue with the strange substance grew, Tyresum Institute increasingly took to studying and experimenting with the fluid. Eventually named DPSS Adaptive Fluid, the substance was found to occasionally mimic attributes of its surroundings. Tests were performed with the question of if this trait could be harnessed- which it could, with some instruction.

Under Pierre (lead engineer at Tyresum) with the approval of Count, development of "the ultimate drone" began as a possible product. Special re-programmable chips were created in order to control the behavior of the drones. The project was eventually successfully concluded- the DPSS Drones were put on the market. They were a success in a strange sense- they sold very little outside of one city, which bought the majority of the stock up- Maraton, which had been actively going through a civil war for the past two years. However, a success was a success.

After some time, Pierre approached Count with news: revolutionary forces in Maraton were willing commission a larger, more offensively-capable version of the drone for a *significant* amount of money. Development began quickly on this, using upscaled parts from the DPSS Drones and a vastly improved version of the chip. The former decision proved to be a mistake. The mass of DPSS Fluid required for the drone was too great and unstable for the reused shell to hold. This became readily apparent on the day of the assembly of the very first prototype. The shell exploded off of the fluid, harming some employees present, including Pierre. The upscaled propeller and antennae were the only objects which remained firmly attached; regardless, the antennae were busted. The chip was almost irreparably damaged by the explosion, but it remained attached to the base of the propeller. The mass of DPSS fluid slowly began pulsating and morphing, mimicking its surroundings without rhyme or reason.

The team couldn't do anything about this. The mass of fluid simply stayed in place, but seemingly eventually gained sentience. That was to their knowledge, anyways- in actuality, it always had sentience; it was simply learning. In spite of the team's removal efforts, they literally could not forcibly remove the mass. Eventually, the staff just decided to accept the blob's existence, knowing nothing could be done. The team named him Will, reluctantly accepting that this oblivious mass of fluid was roaming the halls of the building.

Will came to refer to Count as his father, as Count was the first thing he saw at that initial prototype assembly. Count did not appreciate Will's existence, fully considering him the result of and an embodiment of the failure. The relationship was largely defined by obliviousness to neglect and frustration.

## Abilities and Weapons

Will is the strongest character in Eternal Winter by a considerable margin, being essentially invulnerable to anything and everything and being able to kill anything essentially instantly. However, Will neither knows he's capable of such destruction, nor would he want to intentionally act upon it. As such, Will never gets into fights or anything of the sort.

* **Propeller** - Will's propeller grants him flight, as well as the ability to create weak gusts of wind. However, this is always used for flight.
* **Absorption/Storage** - Will has the ability to absorb... basically anything into himself, whether that be through a limb or through his body. You can think of the "Will Juice" that makes up Will's body as a pocket dimension. Anything that goes inside of Will stays inside of Will until he wants it to either be broken down (used to "eat") or "spit" back out.
* **Transformation** - Will can- very poorly- transform into anything. Typically, this transformation will be melting, have some visible light purple or indigo splatters, and have Will's signature antenna and propeller somewhere. There are no limits to this, aside from the fact that it's always done incredibly poorly. Will does inherit the powers of whatever he transformed into, though this is also typically a weak interpretation of what he's imitating.

## Trivia

* Will was influenced by Sean's old jester iteration, primarily in the form of some sort of aerial propulsion device (though Will has a turbine instead of rocket thrusters) and some bits of Sean's formerly chaotic personality.
* Will was heavily inspired by both Ditto and Fake Peppino.
* Will's favorite food is what he has referred to as "dogs". These "dogs" are actually live bears.
	+ Will gets concerned whenever hot dogs are mentioned up out of fear that people are "burning" a perfectly good food source.
* Will cannot see glass.
* Will can speak perfect Spanish, but doesn't actually know the language; his broken chip's one not-completely-busted element is Spanish responses, but he automatically gives a generic response without even thinking about what he said instead of actually saying something himself.
