Wilhelm

About

Wilhelm is the third prince of the Royal Family. The Royal families often share a certain circle of sponsors and receive similar elemental powers. However, at 18, Wil still hasn't recieved a sponsor. The combination of being the third prince and then not recieving a gift he was often neglected as a child.

Long hair is a bit of a status symbol as only people with powerful sponsors and gifts can maintain such a large weakness. Although Wil doesn't have a gift, he maintains his long hair as it isn't well known that he doesn't have a gift.

Despite not having a gift, or maybe because of it, Wil is loud, passionate, and a bit of a flirt. Although he has never had a relationship because he relentlessly flirts with people at balls and gatherings he has garnered a certain reputation. He initially hates Theo because he knows his older brother thinks he's weak and needs protection and was also jealous of Theo's powerful sponsor.

World

Every single god that humans have ever believed in exists. They have long since retreated from the human realm but they still observe us, as humans are their entertainment. Gods will sponsor humans that they think are strong or hold particular entertainment value. Most people receive their sponsor by the time they are 16. Almost all sponsors are nameless, long-forgotten deities. Gods that you know by name (think Zeus) rarely sponsor humans, although it happens occasionally.

Sponsors give "gifts" to the people they sponsor and people who have a sponsor are marked by star-shaped scars. These scars are normally on the face as Gods are often prideful and want to leave their mark in easily visible places, but they can be anywhere. These gifts can be elemental, transformative, emitter, or manipulative (mental or physical).

Elemental powers tend to only be given to the royal families. There are four royal families and each of the royal families tends to have gifts that are focused on the four elemental powers (water, air, fire, and earth).

Design notes

Honestly I keep changing how I want Wil's hair to be drawn so do whatever!! As long as it's longer than shoulder length! I've had him with a ponytail, braided, shoulderlength, seriously do whatever and keep it dramatic and fun!!

Wil is pretty lean, even though he was restricted from physical training by his brother he learned on his own in secret and is decent in swordsmanship and hand to hand combat. His eyes are a grey-ish blue.
