General Personality: William Shasta Strongarm is a very quiet and reserved individual. He values loyalty and honor before everything else. This being said he can be very head strong at times, stubbornly following what he believes honor and loyalty dictates. However William is not stupid. He does not follow orders blindly, on the contrary Will analyzes every word and deed of his superiors, coming to his own conclusions whether or not the order is an honorable one.

When surrounded by a crowd, Will is usually the socially awkward one who stays in the background listening to those who desire the lime light. He does not come to judgement of others quickly, unless it is very obvious that the person is distasteful to him. William generally stays close to those he knows, being very protective of those he deems as his family. These "family members" are very few.

William prides himself on his abilities and is not quick to admit his weaknesses, so he relies on those he cares about to keep Will from biting off more than he can chew. William does not like backing down as he sees it as cowardice, but he will accept defeat reluctantly if it is brought about through honorable ways.

Character History
Family: Hughgo Strongarm (father, deceased), Gwyn Softvoice (mother, deceased)

General History: Will grew up on a farm in the duchy of Bernal. His father was a hard working man who had sworn absolute loyalty to Caspian IX before his death, Hughgo was not that quick trust the council of lords after his death. Soon after Caspian's death Will's father died of a heart attack. His mother Gwyn was taken by grief within two weeks. William was very close to his father, but did not share in his dis trust of Lord Drinian.

William does not trust the other lords however, believing that Caspian as the rightful heir should be enthroned. Knowing Miraz's temper however William keeps his mouth shut, following the orders of Drinian as he receives them. A lot has changed since Will's early life however.

War has come, Caspian has fled Lord Miraz's castle leaving chaos in his wake. William has enrolled as a full time soldier in the service of his lord Drinian. It seems that the Narnians have encamped themselves on his lands. Will having mixed feelings about battling Caspian looks to his commander for instructions. Drinian was currently visiting the Narnian camp on some mission for Miraz. He did not know what this entailed, but did not doubt that Miraz was plotting something. Drinian has been gone for far longer than what was expected and now William and the remainder of Drinian's men are to accompany General Glozelle to the Narnian camp. William knew that the time was fast approaching where he would have to make a very important choice. He hopes that his Lord still lives and that he will be able to reach Drinian before any conflict arises to see where his Lord stands. William is tired of being in this tainted camp.

Other/Notes: He is a friend of Drinian, but they have not become close as of yet.

Sample
RP Sample: William had a rare day of quiet. Which was strange for him because normally he was ancy for an adventure. But today he was quite willing to just relax and take it easy, since today was a rare respite from the commotion that was the people he was normally around. Will had not seen Grif or Nick around all day, and none of the girls were anywhere to be seen.

Walking through the seventh floor hall quietly Will reminisced a bout the days before Hoggwarts, before the days when he was restricted in his adventuring. He and Nick had shared a room at his grandparents house, that he remembered fondly because of the fact that he owned half of it and used to pretend to wage war with Nick to claim the other half for his own "kingdom" as he used to call his half.

Nick's side had the door on it, so one day Will had amassed his army of plastic knights and launched an all out assault on Nick's undefended bookshelf. Will had to grin. Those were the days. Very rarely did Will get to see that room anymore, because of his studies but he thought maybe Nick and he should go visit their grandparents after this term, and relive the old days.

Just as he had finished thinking about his cousin, Will noticed Nick entering an odd looking door. Curious now Will followed him in only ten steps behind him. What he saw on the other side of the door was absolutely amazing. All of Will's old toys on the floor and his old boots still crusted in mud in the corner. A wooden fortress Will's father had made him for his 7th birthday in the center of his "side" the animated toy knights still walking along the ramparts. It had been Will's most valued toy because of the fact his father had made it just for him.

Will looked over to Nick and had to grin."Looks just like home cousin." He whispered, wondering how come all of this was here now.
