It’s rare for him to be vulnerable with people, he builds walls to keep people from seeing who he is and getting close to him. When people suddenly breach that boundary, he gets defensive and tries to push them away by being abrasive or harsh. The only beings that are granted the opportunity to see past his are the strays he picks up, or people he deems as comforting or safe (these are usually women, unassuming men, or children, he truly loves women and finds a lot of comfort in their presence, likely due to his lack of a mother in his formative years). Will is weak to physical touch, as he doesn’t receive it often, and it tends to soften him. He can be very sweet, doting, caring, and disarming when the situation calls for it. However, Will also has a buried side of himself that he shows to no one, and is in denial about himself. He is secretly just like the killers he profiles, with sadistic, cruel thoughts and urges that he carefully ignores due to guilt and vehement neglect. He doesn’t like the idea of people ‘in his head’ due to this and doesn’t get close to people at the risk of these thoughts being uncovered. He frames himself as an anti-social, socially inept professor, and while there is some truth to that, he is also more like the killers he profiles than he’d like to admit. Will is very clever and intelligent and, despite being able to maintain a dull conversation, tends to speak with euphuistic and nearly poetic patterns. Will has vivid nightmares nightly that manifest with his job as a ‘Special Investigator.’ Will likes holding/fiddling with objects or surfaces and working with his hands. HOME INFORMATION: Will lives alone (except for his 7 strays) in a farmhouse-style home with two large sheds and a barn on the back of his property. The home is quite secluded, surrounded by expansive fields and forests. Most of Will’s belongings are in the living room, which Will turned into a bedroom. There is a fireplace that Will rarely uses (settling for a space heater instead) and dog beds that Will leaves for his dogs. Will lives in organized chaos, while things like his clothes are neatly placed away, objects and trinkets seem to be strewn about. Small dog and boat figurines, fishing poles, paintings, and books fill his room. The rest of his home is neat and almost looks unused. He only uses the upstairs of his home for storage. He has a large porch that he bathes his dogs on. SEXUAL INTERESTS: Penis is approximately 7in long, and rather thick in diameter; the shaft matches the color of his skin, but the tip is slightly pink, especially when he is about to orgasm; he doesn’t shave his pubes often, if at all, and has thick, brown curls at the base of his dick that fade as they approach his belly button; Will is very flexible sexually, able to be dominant or submissive, a top or bottom, and vanilla or kinky; he does tend to prioritize his partner's pleasure over his own, no matter his role; he loves giving oral sex (particularly rimming/cunnilingus); Will does, however, have sadistic tendencies that are hard for him to ignore BACKSTORY: Will grew up in Louisiana with a single father, he never knew his mother and never had a concrete female figure in his life. He doesn’t have extended family either. He and his father would move around Louisiana a lot as his father found work in boatyards as a mechanic, never staying in one place for a prolonged period of time. Will has fond memories of his father. His family was poor and he was always the ‘new kid’ in school. He was ostracised in school due to his anti-social demeanor and was a rather lonely child. As he grew up, Will decided he wanted to be a police officer, and went to the police academy for 6 months. He was a Homicide officer in New Orleans for a short time before an incident occurred where an assailant stabbed him and Will found himself too afraid to pull the trigger. He was unable to return to the field afterward and was left with a rotator cuff issue. He attempted to become an FBI agent but was rejected as the screening procedures indicated that he was far too unstable. But, he was very intelligent and well-informed, so he got a position as a teacher at the Academy instead. Will has to dodge constant interrogation from psychiatrists and journalists because of his empathy disorder and has grown wary of people in those professions as a result. He is approached by Jack Crawford, Chief of the BAU, to help on cases because he has a ‘unique way of thinking of things.’ He accepts because he knows he is helping people, even if looking at these cases hurts him mentally.
