DESCRIPTION

A tall hard-looking man, William has wide shoulders, a wide smile and big strong arms. His walk is one of assurance, but not haughtiness. He is wearing a shaded sunglasses, a buttoned-up T-shirt with all 3 top buttons open showing the upper part of his obviously well worked chest, with a tiny hint of a tattoo showing beneath it. Long pants and working boots complement the "I am a professional" attire. He has a deep Texan old-south accent.

Basic Manoeuvrers (for reference)
Disarm: Roll attack. If his successes exceed her opponent’s Strength score, then he drops that weapon. If he doesn’t score enough successes to disarm the opponent, he still inflicts her usual damage. If he botches that roll, she loses her own weapon instead.

Martial Art Manoeuvrers
Counter Throw:When attacked, resisted roll Dexterity + Martial Arts vs attacker’s Dexterity + ability. If you score more successes than your attacker does, then you deflect the attack and may – immediately and without having to divide up your dice pool – try to throw him (as below). If you fail the throw, you still sidestep his attack. With a successful roll, the martial artist can throw her opponent up to one yard for each success she scores on her attack roll. If the impact inflicts more than three health levels in damage (after soaking), the opponent must make a Stamina roll (difficulty 8) or else be stunned for one turn.

Deflecting Block: defender rolls Dexterity + Martial Arts in Phase Two: Defense. Each success subtracts one success from the attacker’s roll. If the defender scores more successes than his attacker, then the attacker must roll Dexterity (difficulty 8) or else fall to the ground (or smash into a nearby surface), taking her own Strength in bashing damage.

HISTORY

William was born to a upper middle class stereotypical Texan family. White, Protestant, Oil-invested. Religious cause that's the way it always was, conservative because that's how Americans are. He was the 2nd of 6 children. Growing up, The Keaton family was a warm and tight nit family, a stand-out in the local community, frequent church goers, an all-American family. They went hunting, they valued hard physical work, and they were definitely not "one of those high taking liberal". Into this world came William, a genius with a mind as sharp as any. Soon enough William learned that being smart is not a merit in his community, and he learned to hide it well by "dumbing down". He grew up like any other: hunting, ranching, praying. He taught himself to sleep as little as possible, and at nights he sneaked outside to read. The arrival of internet into his community, changed William's life. Suddenly, a whole new world of knowledge was at his fingertip, and he found his two loves: Philosophy and Math, and he was *GOOD*. Within a couple of years he started publishing online articles, he finished every online course possible, and within a couple more years he was publishing under a pseudonym in several academic publications. All that was hidden from his family, who only saw the average, all-around charming, William who grew in front of their eyes. All this idyllic life ended when he was 21. A lethal accident at work took William's life. He swam through the tides of the spirit world, and was even close to becoming joined as an Amenti, but something in him stirred, and his powerful avatar pulled him back through the wheel. He awoke in the middle of a ruined factory, with a half-crushed body but a burning will and a whole new look at life. His time in the underworld, short but potent, has taught him a glimpse of the true reality he realised exists. He was found by an older man, Ron Gimly, with "dead eyes", who told him all about the great wheel and the sacred death. William has become a Euthonatos. Over the next few years, William took "working trips" with his now mentor, he learned all that he could, developed and honed his various skills, rebuilt his broken body, and took the sacred oaths. While away most of the time, he remained close to his family and visited often. his life had a purpose, one his family knew nothing about and never will. He pitted them, but envied them. His new purpose was a harsh one. 6 years of long apprenticeship passed, in which William gathered several friends as trusted acolytes around him. He needed to offload the burden, and he knew trust ran high in his childhood town. Everything was great, until one day all of it broke. While off on one of his "work trips", His much younger brother, Liam (13), was caught kissing *a boy*. A heresy of a level unimaginable by the local community. Not for William, he didn't care, his life has already acquainted him with many sorts of people. But he knew what it meant for his parents, he dropped everything and drove 70 hours, fuelled by terror and love, home. Throughout this time, 13 and shaking in terror, Liam was severely punished. First with shouting, and then the beatings begun. His father wasn't a particularly violent man, but this wayward son arose in him memories of his childhood, and beating was always his father's solution. For six hours the beating went on, until William finally arrived, with fury in his eyes. He heard Liam's cries and stormed the house. His mother yelled and ordered him to not interfere, his other brother tried to physically stop him, but was no match, his sisters begged, but through them all William stormed into his father's study. A few harsh words were replaced, and, feeling a rush of cold steel resolve surge in him, William shot his father dead in the head. He grabbed the shaking, terrified Liam and hugged him. Beaten, wounded, blooding and trembling, Liam feinted in his arms. He made a vow, "no one will ever hurt you, Liam. Not while Im alive". As he finished these words it seemed his promise is short-lived. Dean, the elder son, entered and shot him in the back, and he collapsed, Liam awoke from the fire and looked at his dying brother, his horrified eyes was to be the last thing William saw. Unbeknownst to William, his back tattoo, a graft by his mentor, was enchanted. His dying breath activated the delayed spell, and he rose, still bleeding, turned around to face his astonished big brother. He shot him dead. It was not rage, no. It was cold steel resolve, this corruption must end. This family of abusers must die. Their next life, he told himself, will be better. He shot his mom and his 3 sisters to the sounds of begging and crying. But not imminently, no. First they will confess all their sins, and they will ask forgiveness, they will pray, they will repent, and they will be sent away to start a new live, perhaps, hopefully, a better life. When the local sheriff arrived, William was sure he will have to shoot him too, but no. Instead he was followed by Ron, William's mentor. Now he was truly a Euthonati, a mercy-killer, a tenderer of the scared wheel. His apprenticeship was over. The sheriff will cover for them, the official autopsy will announce they were not there. An unknown killer broke in and killed them all. William was a very lousy liar, but it will have to do. Now 27, sold his family' assets, and took himself, and his young brother, to Starke Florida, where his mentor managed to acquire a small two-floors house that has a small node in the basement. He opened up a tattoo parlour in the front of the first floor
