General Information

Appearance

William Shepard does not look the warrior. Rawboned, rough edged, and quiet, he emanates a stringy, aquiescent toughness, born out of a need to accept hard living and disappointments. His eyes are clear and unquestioning and blue, an older man's eyes because they carry pain comfortably. His hair is a dirty blonde that he keeps cut short.


His most notable and eye catching feature is not a natural one, but a work of art - a bitter irony considering his personality. Two symobls side by side in jet black are tattooed beneath his right eye: 'IV'. The tattoo itself is magical and infuses Shepard with the ability to fade in and out of reality when he touches it and utters a single word. The word itself is unknown to all but him, and he makes it a point to lower his voice beyond comprehension in the rare times he invokes it.


His armor is the typical red and silver armor granted to the Legionnaires, with only one distinguishing feature. The left and right shoulder pads have tally marks carved into its surface - as for what they stand for, only Shepard truly knows - though the general consensus is that it is a kill count. In any case, as it stands now, there are 61 tally marks total.

Personality

William is a distant figure at best, a cold machine at worst. He is quiet and reserved, typically answering questions directed towards him with curt, closed answers with the intent to end all conversation as quickly as possible. He purposely feigns ignorance at prompts offered to him to advance any kind of social interaction and will typically ignore such with a look, a frown, or simply walking away.


Duality: Within Shepard resides an alter ego, a being within him which he simply calls the 'Machine'. The 'Machine' itself is a cold, calculating persona that cares not for the notions of good and evil, law and order, and lives but by one rule: The Ends Justifies the Means. Shepard finds himself fear ridden and weak without it, and constantly beseeches the Machine to take control of his mind before he engages in battle.
