William

"The One"

William was the oldest of the four members of WRAL. He was usually the most levelheaded of the squad, coming up with sane, reasonable ideas, in contrast to Ryan's stupid ones.

William served primarily as the camera guy for much of early WRAL life.

William was a prankster at heart, pulling several fast ones on Ryan and Luke. He usually didn't prank Adam though because Adam was prone to violence.

William was known for spending extensive amounts of time on the internet, to the point where the internet (The Matrix) sucked his mind into it and he was forced to escape.

## 2016

### Christmas 2016

William was the one filming the "Must Watch Video!!!" when Santa Claus first revealed himself to WRAL in 2016. William disappeared halfway through the video and was presumably the first one taken by Santa Claus.

He reappeared at Santa's labor camp holding the camera once again. He stated that "claustrophobia" is "the fear of Santa Claus."

## 2017

### Fidget Dealing

> "I can fix you up."
>

William tricked Luke into paying him $30 for a fidget spinner by posing as a fidget dealer. William drove Luke to meet the dealer, pretending he had no idea what Luke was doing, then donned a fidget dealer hat and went to meet him.

William, dressed as a fidget dealer, holds a fidget spinner in front of Luke.

Luke arrived at the designated spot and payed William the sum agreed upon for the fidget spinner.

However as William walked off, laughing to himself about what a sucker Luke was, Ryan who had followed Luke there, attacked William and took Luke's money.

William didn't try the same stunt again, but he had many more pranks to play later.

### The Couch Potato

> "Guys. Come on. Recent studies have shown that when you're a couch potato, you're actually brain dead and the only reason you're not completely dead, is because you're too lazy to do that."
>
>

William was the voice of reason when Ryan, Adam and Luke were addicted to TV and becoming couch potatoes. He told them that couch potatoes are actually brain dead and successfully convinced Ryan and Luke to get off the couch.

When Adam was hit by a bolt of lightning and became a living couch potato, William and Ryan barricaded themselves in a room and gathered weapons. They prepared to rush the potato but found only Luke. William came up with a plan to stop the couch potato by depriving it of its food and media supply.

William took it upon himself to guard the media and went to dispose of the TV remote. While there, he was forced into an epic battle with the couch potato which he won by stabbing the TV remote with a knife.

### Speedster Powers

William was the one who told Luke that Ryan's speedster juice was a fake and that the way to get speedster powers was to eat turtles from the snack shack.

How he knew that is still a mystery.

### Escaping The Matrix

> "You're empty."
>
>

> "So are you."
>

At some point, William's mind was sucked into The Matrix because he was on the internet for so long.

William talking to Albert in The Matrix. As you can see, everything is green in The Matrix.

William received a phone call from Albert The Frog, informing him he was in The Matrix. At first, William didn't believe Albert but eventually he decided to just do what the obnoxious person said.

William followed Albert's instructions to make an escape drink but was interrupted by an agent, which looked exactly like Adam. William fought the agent and continued making the drink but the agent continued to get back up.

After William had completed the drink, he took a swig just in time to escape The Matrix before catching a bullet from The Agent.

He awoke in his room and briefly resolved to stay off his phone before receiving a hangouts message which prompted him to return to it.

### Ryan's Lightsaber Quest

William was present when Ryan announced he had found a lightsaber in a shoebox and told him he could keep it.

He later listened to Ryan and Luke's story about their escapades and didn't believe it.

### Christmas 2017

> "I get the big gun."

William hides behind couch cushions with Eli (left) and Ryan (right)

On Christmas Eve 2017, William, Ryan and Luke were preparing to decorate for Christmas and searched the secret passages for decorations.

It is unclear why they waited until Christmas Eve to decorate, or why they forgot that Santa Claus was evil, was going to kidnap them, and had a labor camp.

While searching for decorations, they were confronted by Eli, who had escaped from the North Pole and come to warn them that Santa was coming. William opened a secret passage door and brought out his weapons, claiming the big gun as his own. Curiously, nobody fired a shot at Santa when he appeared.

William took charge and had everyone barricade themselves in the living room. Ryan asked William if there was a chimney in the house, to which he replied in the negative. When Eli was taken by Santa, William, Ryan and Luke ran up the stairs. On the way up, William tripped and was grabbed by Santa, not to be seen again until 2018.

## 2018

### Adam Weaponizing Fidget Spinners

> "He's probably killed himself by now."
>
>

William stares off into space after telling the camera how he feels about fidget spinners.

William watched Adam come up with his idea of weaponizing a fidget spinner, calling it "The dumbest idea I've ever heard."

William played a game of pingpong against Luke, allowing him to win. After the game, Luke was turned into a cat. William decided to protect the cat from Adam, 'cause Adam couldn't be trusted anymore.

### Chatting With Babes

William chatted with babes online all day while Luke went on a treasure hunt.

### Christian Gang

William was a member of the Christian Gang. He claimed he didn't really know what the point of the gang was.

### Texting Ryan

William showed up in 2018 when he texted Ryan to go filming, but for some reason Ryan believed he was an imposter.

### Searching for Firewall

William drove Adam, Ryan and Luke in their search for Firewall and helped them look for it.

### AR/VR

> "See this? This, is a piece of cardboard."
>
>

William's first big prank of 2018 was on Luke, when William sold him a cardboard VR headset, and told him that it would perfectly recreate the real world in VR.

William sells Luke a cardboard VR headset that does nothing.

Luke, the gullible toad that he is, paid William five dollars for it and immediately put it on, believing he was in Virtual Reality.

William attempted to get Luke to steal candy for him by calling him, pretending he was an in-game character and sending him on a mission to get candy.

Luke did so, but brought William sugar free candy, which angered him and made him throw the candy away.

### William's Car Destroyed

William found his car destroyed by Ryan and his toy lightsaber so he decided to just go steal a virtually identical car. So William found a suitable car, punched the window to smithereens and stole it. At some point prior to this, William must have developed super strength and invulnerability because he shattered the glass with minimal effort and was not cut at all.

### When Luke was a moron

William was among the gang members who were sprayed by Luke's moronic spray bottle. William was in the line beating up Luke but fortunately had disappeared by the time Ryan arrived to beat up the gang. William returned immediately after the fight wondering what everyone was doing.

### Ryan's Crew

> "You need more people than that."
>
>

William sports sick shades after being recruited to join Ryan's crew.

William was found in a taco bell at happy hour by Ryan and Luke who were recruiting members for Ryan's crew.

While William knew that Ryan needed more people than three, he decided to just join the crew for fun because he had nothing better to do.

### Christmas 2018

> "T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the house, all the creatures are stirring. A brilliant home defense plan they are enacting. They must seal all the doors and cover all the vents, they must cover all the flanks and batten down all the hatches, and prepare for the dreaded Santa Claus to appear"
>
>

In 2018, William, Ryan, Adam and Luke were not caught unawares by Santa and came up with a brilliant home defense plan (that failed).

William fires his zombie eliminator pistol at Santa Claus.

While Ryan, Adam and Luke were all setting up for Santa's invasion, William was eating junk food in the bedroom, reciting a poem he had come up with. He was spurred into action by Adam.

William joined the others in the living room to fight Santa. When Adam went off to investigate and was taken, he aided in pelting Santa with bullets, none of which had any effect on him. When their bullets failed, William, Ryan and Luke ran up the stairs.

William dashed into the guest bedroom where he briefly saw Supreme Santa in the mirror. He emptied a mag at Santa Claus when the door began to open but was grabbed from behind by Santa, who apparently can teleport or something. He was not seen again for some time. His fate remains unknown.

## Powers and Abilities

### Weapons

William is proficient with his zombie eliminator pistol which he has used on multiple occasions, both in the real world and in The Matrix. William employed the use of a knife against the Living Couch potato and "the big gun" against Santa Claus in 2017. Curiously, he never fired "the big gun".

### Powers

William possesses a lot of intelligence and apparently he also has super strength and invulnerability because he was able to punch through glass with almost no effort and receive no injury from it. He also physically overpowered an Agent in The Matrix.

It would be reasonable to infer that William also has speedster powers since he knows where to find turtles that give speedster powers.
