## Appearance

Bill Williams is about 5'9" tall with long white hair usually tied back into a ponytail. He has red eyes and an athletic build for aesthetics more than strength. He is generally considered to be very attractive.

Due to his powers, he has no noticeable scars or markings outside the tattoo of a trapezoid on his ass his friend Sven did with a pen and a razor when he was fifteen and they were high on ecstasy. It sort of looks like a trapezoid at least.

## Personality

> *"All celebrities are insufferable. It's called fitting in with people you fucking hate so you can coast off fame and live somewhat comfortably while dodging a shady government organization that would kill you or shut you in a cage if you weren't so fucking famous."* *--Bill fucking Williams*

If there’s one thing Bill hates talking about, it’s himself. Maybe that’s why he chose to make a living from asking people about their day.

Obnoxious, sexy, sarcastic, suicidal, and spoiled rotten—Bill is the picture perfect “Poor Little Rich Boy.” A lifetime of pampering and being shoved into the spotlight has made him more lazy than anything, and unless he is in the company of fans, lovers, or a camera, he’s generally more prone to sulk and drink than do anything else.

When faced with an audience, however, Bill’s upbringing in the entertainment industry takes hold. His blunt honesty and flippancy makes him popular as a kind of antagonistic conversationalist and party boy, and he has a massive amount of sex appeal, which he usually relies heavily on. He is self-described as pansexual but has preference towards men.

He has an affinity for alcohol and most drugs, and has been to rehab on and off since he was fourteen.

## History

### **Life**

Born William Williams to the celebrity pop sensation Mona and her executive producer husband, Tennessee Williams, Bill has been famous since he was in the womb. Originally intended to use the stage name "Will" or "William" as he was growing, that was largely scrapped by the time his younger brother Willis was born. At age 6 Bill, in a fit of rage, demanded to be called Bill during an interview about his role on then sitcom Baker's Dozen, which he had been playing since birth. The outburst caused enough concern that his parents began to limit his fame and contact, preferring to spend their time supporting Will and, when they were born, the twins, over Bill. He was placed in intensive therapy for two years before returning to the spotlight, with Will taking his place on Baker's Dozen to finish out the show.

Bill was generally agreeable after that due to excessive anger management and medication, save for his random bursts of rage. He tried desperately to remain a famous child star to appease his ever distant parents, and clung to his father, who acted as his primary caregiver. This created a resentment from his mother particularly, and she demanded his father spend more time with the rest of his family. At her behest Bill saw his parents and siblings less and less frequently--with his father often making up excuses or punishing him for perceived wrongs as the rationale for his isolation. He was largely left in the care of tutors, dance instructors, or just agents from his father's company—some of which ended up taking advantage of him.

To cope with the abandonment and loneliness Bill started stealing alcohol from sets around the age of twelve. This escalated until he was drinking heavily daily, eventually being forced into rehab following an episode of showing up to a set drunk out of his mind at age fourteen.

In rehab Bill met other hopeless rich fuck ups like himself (such as Sven Jansen) and was able to expand his tastes from just alcohol to a whole range of intoxicants. Once released, Bill continued to indulge himself while not working, becoming increasingly irritable and abusive towards his agents. He still listened to directions and did what was asked of him, though his attitude was becoming unbearable. He was frequently being whispered about in gossip rags as a drunk party boy or worse, a fallen child star. His father began to double down and limit his public exposure, preferring to keep Bill in rehab when he wasn't performing small TV roles or commercials.

### **Death**

On Bill's 16th birthday he attended a celebratory gala at the Grand hosted by his mother. After getting properly drunk at the event and getting permission to leave Bill headed back to his apartment alone where in a drunken stupor he fell and injured his head. Dying in a pile of vomit and blood, Bill was found by security checking on him after his car had been left half in the street. He received CPR, was rushed to the hospital, and ultimately revived, turning him into an EO.

It took a few years for Bill to catch on. He would overdose and get into fatal car accidents a few more times before he began to realize he was immortal. Assuming he was just more hardy that the average individual, he continued to engage in riskier and riskier behaviors, testing his limits, until it became apparent he *was* dying--just not staying dead.

After becoming emancipated at age 16 (which his parents encouraged) he was fired his father's company at age 19. Following that he was finally taken into custody by EON and experimented on by Dr. Langevin. Once released he ran through a few managers before he became represented by a man named Nico, an EON spy, to act as his day to day handler. He was also assigned a caseworker, Agent Min Soo (aka Agent Xiao), and was temporarily whisked away for "Rehab" whenever EON or its affiliates required him for human testing. Due to his ability to suffer all effects given to him up to the point of death, as well as his regenerative abilities when he did finally die, Bill has been a human test subject for everything from cancer drugs to bioweapons to new drugs spread by the government to hook the populace.

He is absolutely miserable and has been seeking a method to permanently end his life as a result, fearing he would never truly be free of EON so long as he was alive. He has since given up on dying, largely due to a developing relationship with Victor Vale.

## Toska

Bill was busy being a celebrity for much of Toska, and only appeared once the cast moved to New York City.

### **New York City**

After the breakout and subsequent terrorist attacks plaguing Merit, Bill was forced to relocate to New York in order to continue shooting his show. While spending an evening out drinking he came across Vi, who was out for a night of relaxation at the behest of Ira. Bill and Vi made their way to a party on Long Island, where Vi was discovered by the EON Agents tailing Bill. Ira is forced to step in, eliminating the EON Agents Virginia and Vince and allowing Vi to escape with Bill's credit card as Bill called the cops on her.

Following that incident Bill was placed under closer observation, with Agent Xiao taking up a permanent residence with the man.

Meanwhile, Candice had reunited with Brett, a celebrity acquaintance of Bill's. They meet Bill at a bar by happenstance and attempt to sell him some stolen art. He agrees to buy it after a few drinks and even hires Candice to paint his NYC Apartment. She appears the next day only to encounter Agent Xiao in disguise (as Min Soo) at his apartment. Bill rushes Candice out during their encounter much to her confusion.

Suspicious, Candice and Brett call Bill out for drinks, where he dodges their questions and eventually leaves them with a small note mentioning that Agent Xiao aka Min is aware of Candice's existence. Xiao finds out he warned her, and Bill is sentenced to Rehab as punishment for getting involved.

Candice returns when Xiao is out and Bill explains his relationship with EON and how he cannot die but wants to. Candice offers to help and gives him Richter Strauss's number. An agreement is struck, and Candice sneaks him out to meet with the man at Bill's Chelsea apartment. There, Strauss unbalances his powers, resulting in Bill's powers destabilizing and causing him to die for nearly five hours straight. Ira is called in to distract EON while Strauss and Candice wait for Bill to recover. They agree to make it seem as though Ira strung and kidnapped the man. After being shot and kidnapped, he makes his way to Brett's to hide out.

Brett and Bill get very intoxicated, and eventually Candice reunites with them at Brett's apartment. They drunkenly decide to pay a visit to Bill's Agent's office to snoop. Nico, his agent, appears and Brett poses as a potential client while Candice and Bill hide in incorporeal form under Nico's desk. After Brett leaves, Nico calls EON, revealing his ties to the agency. Candice consoles Bill and together they hatch a plan to confront him.

Brett sets up the meeting, and the two meet with him and Nico at a bar after slipping in using Candice's shadow powers. He fires him during a teary exchange and storms out, just in time for EON to swarm him.

### **The End of EON**

Bill manages to escape, finally using his powers to kill the EON Officers that try to capture him. He loses control and murders at least 8 others for a total body count of 11. Candice catches up to him and provides him a place to hide out and cool off in one of her and Giselle's various apartments. While in hiding he is spotted and pursued to the apartment by his cousin, Simon Thomas, who had been asked to help find him by his brother Will in exchange for a momentary reward. After exchanging drinks Bill tests his powers on him, killing him. He manages to retract it enough to revive him, but thanks to his genes and circumstance, Simon effectively becomes an EO. Bill pays him to keep quiet about his location and the apartment.

Giselle and Candice eventually check up on him, taking him out for a night on the town of killing homeless people. After seeing Giselle's powers, he asks her to try to kill him permanently. The trio has a teary farewell, and Giselle absorbs him with her blood. He begins to kill her from the inside, and Candice is forced to cut his black ooze out from him. He eventually reforms, and the group heads back sure that Bill is immortal. He is then handed off to Aria for babysitting at the behest of Ira, who strikes a deal with Agent Xiao to hand Bill over in exchange for her cooperation during the attack on EON.

Following a manipulative suggestion from Ira, Candice gets Bill in touch with Cara for her to try her hand at killing Bill. Cara arrives at Aria's and the three experience trying to kill Bill together in Cara's blood world. Failing to kill him, Cara experiences dying several times as Ira mentally guilts Aria into saving her. After some fallout with Simon and Leon regarding Agent Xiao, Ira puppets Leon and takes Simon to Aria's to babysit everyone since his plan of keeping his troublesome puppets busy with each other has clearly backfired. Bill eventually is handed off to EON after everything calms, at which point Xiao betrays everyone and kills him, ruining Ira's plan to observe though Bill by shoving him into a body bag and suffocating him every twenty minutes to keep him dead. He was returned to EON custody, eventually dying in the nuclear blast that wiped out South Channel Island. He reformed a week later and was picked up by Cara at Ira's behest.

## Twoska

In the ten year period between Toska and Twoska, Bill and Aria were married for roughly a year. Bill did it to piss off his parents and to keep the thirsty bitches at bay, while Aria just wanted to enjoy a bit of fame. He also returned to his talk show with a new co-host, Ina Burke. Bill stayed on for a few years until he supposedly quit and went into seclusion citing drug problems and growing tired of constantly living in the spotlight as his excuse for his sudden departure. In truth he was constantly misfiring and going through a mental breakdown following his divorce with Aria. He was kidnapped by EVE shortly afterwards. Since being freed he has fallen into the care of Victor Vale, and the two have developed a romantic relationship.

## Powers and Abilities

* Immortality: Although he does not heal instantly, Bill is incapable of dying permanently. Instead, he dies and continues to be dead for a period of time relevant to how long it takes his body to heal up. Even total destruction of his corpse doesn't put him down permanently, and his body will reform eventually.
* Voodoo Doll: Bill stores each of his deaths and is able to inflict them onto his victims provided he hates them, or is panicking. He is also capable of inflicting anything non-lethal applied to him onto someone else, such as his drunkness, his getting injured in any way, or his apathy.
* Life Absorption: While dead, Bill's body can absorb the life from "normies" and use it to heal himself quicker. He will also use the leftover life to revert in age, up to 16, the age he died.
* Death: Beyond being able to inflict his stored deaths onto people, Bill can also corrupt or rot EOs that attempt to absorb him or otherwise kill him in ways that involve him mixing with their soul/fluids.
