Week 2+ How to design characters?/ William

Background:

William was born into the royal family of the United Kingdom. His father and mother where the duke and duchess of Kent. They had two sons, William and George, who where twins and were very alike physically. But besides of this similarity they were compleatly different in their parents eyes, George was always the bold and bright and William was always the weak. William didn't have a nice childhood since there was always a test that he had to fulfill, he had to compete in everything with his brother and to make things worse, he never won. Not long his parents lost interest in his son, paying only attention to George despite the efforts he did to make them proud. George was aware of this and decided to take advantage for as long as possible, so whenever he had a chance he would bully William in the most brutal ways he could think of calling him names, attacking him and completely destroying the boy's confidence. And no matter how much William begged for mercy to his brother or to his parents for them to punish George, he was never listened. So at the age of 17 he took the decision to end his misery once and for all, killing his brother and hiding any evidence. The entire royal family was in shock of the sudden death of the boy but not even then they payed attention to William, only one person did, his uncle, but not to support him but to blame him. He had no evidence but didn't have doubts either. William thought this suspicious attitude as a sign to leave that horrible family and never return again.

Personality:

Because of his past William has always been a quiet person, always kept to himself and barely talked more than needed. But he never forgot his manners, since he was from the royal family he was taught how he must act with elegance since he was small. He barely showed his true emotions by his face if he could but people somehow knew what he was feeling just looking at him in the eyes. Besides of the fact that he barely spoke, he knew very well how to intimidate people just with a look and was very decisive on his ideas.

Physical features:

William is 25 years old. He has short curly brown hair, emerald green eyes, clear white skin and an athletic body.

Social relationships:

-Theodore: He is William´s uncle and godfather to George. He is the main person that had suspected that he had the fault of the death of his brother, though he has no proof he wont stop until he does and make William pay.

-Jasper: He is the closest thing William has to a friend, though he is not good with advice or with anything that is relative to human emotions he always manages to make William better. The way they met is pretty unknown, even to them, they have nothing in common except that they both have issues.
