Wilson (full name Wilson Percvial Higgsbury) is a character who arrived in Discordia from the Don't Starve Together Universe along with Webber and Wendy. While his backstory remains rooted in Don't Starve canon, this version of him (along with his friends) branch off as an alternate timeline unique to Discordia, and thus are **canon divergent**.

## Lore

#### Pre-Arrival

Unlike most in Discordia who came here through the "Glitch of Reality", Wilson (And those from the Don't Starve universe that followed,) came here by pure chance. While this glitch certainly made it easier, it wasn't through it alone.

## Appearance

Wilson is a man with a rather short stature, standing in at a lower-than-average 5'4. He is often seen with a hunched posture, making him seem much shorter to the untrained eye. He wears a faded red sweater vest with a white collared shirt underneath. He wears long, black cotton gloves that reach just above his elbow and is tucked under the leaves of his shirt. He wears black jeans, and black dress shoes. His hair is a deep raven black with the occasional strand of white hair. His hair style is separated into three major sections that each point up and to the side.

(See image for reference, describing his hairstyle is hell. -Moth)

## Personality

He is often referred to as the "fumbling scientist who won't shut up" (Or other variations) by his fellow survivors. Wilson is known for rambling anyone's ears off about some sort of science when he gets the chance to. Thus, he is quite passionate about his work, despite being a bit clueless and naive about it sometimes. He can be quite full of himself, and often takes criticism on his work personally. However, he is quite protective of those he cares about, and quite the kindhearted person when not gushing about what he likes to do. One can often see him staring off into space, lost within his own aloof thoughts.

He's not the most mentally sound, as well, often creating "questionable" experiments that require quite concerning ingredients. He doesn't seem to care, always stating it's "For science!" despite sometimes having his arms drenched in his own blood. His alarming practices have been brought up many times, yet never seem to quite ever stop in severity.

As of now, he's much more on the exhausted scale than one would expect. He is still upbeat, trying to make everyone around him feel good, but the energy he once had seems to have died down after a certain event when arriving in Discordia. (See Post-Canon Lore.)

## Abilities

Wilson is known to be quite knowledgeable in chemistry, having spent a few years in university to get his medical license to practice in medicine. (This, however, didn't last long, as the license would soon get revoked after he dropped out.)

## Trivia

* Will likely say "For the love of science" instead of "for the love of God".

* He was originally from some part of the New England region in America before moving to Chicago for university.

* While not diagnosed as he is originally from the 1920s, he is shown to have autistic traits.

* The white streaks in his hair is a reference to canon Wilson's ingame Triumphant skin.
