5/18/24 - will ref :D
lcbrpg spoilers
Putting Will's ref here because one of my friends on Tumblr is a regular party member now lol...and the party doesn't know anything about him yet! This is the bus driver of my party's Limbus bus in my limbus company d&d campaign! :D
I don't know exactly how the smoke war played out or if G Corp even had time or resources to care enough about taking captives or whatever, but just for character development reasons I like to think Will used to be a Nestie who was talented in combat and is very agile, maybe even a fixer? He didn't really have any regards for life or death including his own because everyone's death in the city is random, so it doesn't matter if you cause it to happen sooner than later....it was bound 2 happen in the first place anyways. He fought against G Corp but found himself in a bad spot and somehow got himself captured, he was pretty useful though so they just refurnished him into a spy for their side. kind of like a stealthy "fly on the wall"!
So far his story is mostly about that huge sudden perspective change, and putting himself in the shoes of those people he had no thought or regards for and realizing he's got more in common with them than he thought at first. I'm still trying to figure out his themes and his conflict and hangups and stuff, but as of right now he's just become very quiet and apathetic rather than boastful and indulgent.
edit: I brainrotted hard about him in the months to follow this post and I'm toying with the idea of him having being part of the Udjat, then shoved into G Corp as a messenger / spy, and then finally once the shit blew up and he was ""free"" he struggled for a good while until he finally found work again under the Rake Office (an undercover journalism organization hidden as a Fixer organization, that writes about the true Horrors of the city) as a photographer. so him and julian (the manager) were working together at some point before being brought into limbus
