- First off I wanna say I believe he’s completely translucent (like he is in the game), I just didn’t do that in these doodles because it’d ruin the colors
- He always looks a bit tired (‘cause phantoms only come out when people don’t sleep) and he can’t physically fall asleep - he can zone out and like, kinda dream? like daydreaming I guess but he never actually goes to sleep... he hasn’t told anyone this
- He calls his phantom form “going ghost” so much that no one else actually knows what it’s called and you cannot change my mind
- Contrary to what happens in the game, he can see himself while going ghost. Though I guess it doesn’t matter too much since he’ll phase through any objects, but it helps when he’s interacting with other people and doesn’t want to phase through/hit them
- He can touch & interact with people when he’s gone ghost, but it takes a bit of concentration. If, say, he began zoning out while holding something, there’d be a short length of time before the object slipped through his hands
- When startled there’s a good chance he’ll go ghost on instinct (he can’t be startled out of going ghost though) and he may also go ghost when faced with a bright light (‘cause sun)
- When he goes ghost it both saps his hunger and his energy (the former more than the latter) so that if he were forced (or just decided) to go ghost for an entire day, by the end of it he’d be fighting hunger pangs and his movements may be more sluggish
- Going off on that, he kinda doesn’t like going ghost (unless he’s causing mischief) purely because of the hunger and also because it serves to remind him that he’s not entirely human anymore
- That’s why he tries his best to not do things on land during the day, since he’d have to go ghost; he prefers to stay in water with Niki or go underground (mining)/under trees (getting wood) while the sun is up
- He hates plains biomes & any biome that won’t have shelter from the sun should it turn to daytime
- He plays off the fact he’s dead like a joke. It’s not a joke. He isn’t sure how long he’s been dead and doesn’t remember much from when he was alive, but it’s enough so that he has a distinct feeling of being weird and not normal
- The whole “being dead” thing technically means he’s the only person on the SMP who knows what it’s like being human; he can’t help but notice how he and his friends are different and dislikes the way he thinks that in the first place
- Moving onto the topic of his wings and tail, they’re drastically more transparent than the rest of his body (like if his body was 80% opacity, his wings would be like 40% or 50%) and they phase through anything (whether Wil’s gone ghost or not). The only thing that can touch them is Wilbur himself
- Because of this it’s very easy for them (his tail in particular) to phase through walls or the floor; Wil hates when this happens and will instinctively jerk them out of objects
- His wings are very fragile (evident from the rips and tatters) and part of him is very glad no one/nothing can touch them and possibly damage them
- Also he hates when people try to touch his wings or tail without his permission; it feels weird (since they’ll phase through) and also it’s very rude
- Wilbur cannot float. As cool as the thought is (and as fun as it is to draw) he can’t and he’s kinda salty about it. It’s okay though since he can literally climb through walls
- He is unaware of the fact he can’t phase through obsidian. Take that as you will
