It has been adapted to take special bullets, designed by William, which are hollow-point and filled with 'Claviceps Purpurea'. The shells from these bullets are bio-degradable will grow into flowers if left on soil.



Barkskin: Body armor, made from the bark of the Allocasuarina luehmannii tree, also known as the Bulloak.

☆History☆

Birthplace: New York
Memorable Figures: His Parents.
General History: (I hate writing histories so enjoy this shitshow)

William was the child off two tree-hugging hippies, Lily and Adam Indigo. The pair were pacifist flower children and passed their philosophy onto their son. He grew up in an incredibly eco-friendly home, getting grounded if he was caught disrespecting nature. Both of his parents were avid fans of plant-life and grew several breeds as hobbies ranging from flowers to trees and even their own weed plants.

As he got older, William began to share his parent's love of the world. In school he chose to study botany, him having grown up surrounded by exotic plants gave him a strong advantage and he began to join his parents on their trips to festivals and protests. He was arrested for the first time when he was 17, along with his parents, for chaining themselves to an old tree which was due to be up-rooted and destroyed to make way for houses. They only kept them overnight.

William took a break from protests both to attend further education but also because he felt as if he wasn't making a difference. Yeah, they delayed some deforestation but the forest still died. They put a company's waste dumping on hold but once they were all dispersed the company just kept on dumping waste into the water. A break from his parent's pacifist nature and exposure to the real world while in college altered his perceptions. The news kept getting worse. When the media released an official deadline for the 'point of no return' William had had enough. He knew something had to be done but everyone was too indifferent, blind or scared to do it.

He planned his first attack for months. It took him ages to learn how to build bombs and, for such a gun-happy country, he had a difficult time actually getting his hands on one for cheap. He also got the shit kicked out of him more than once when he was trying to acquire some 'muscle'. He didn't really know how to go about doing that so just crawled around dangerous looking bars in the poorer part of town until he finally found some people willing to help - for a price.

His first mission went surprisingly well. He was starting off small, attacking the local landfill who had be illegally disposing off their waste into the local lake. Everyone knew they were doing it but nobody cared. It made him sick. It was making the earth sick, something had to be done. He donned his disguise... no... his war-paintfor the first time. Dark green paint smeared down the upper half of his face.

They attacked the dump-truck when it was on it's way to the lake at midnight. They made sure they were seen by CCTV and left flowers scattered over the driver's corpse. The police passed it off as a personal attack, until the next truck was attacked - and the next. Eventually people began to ask what the trucks were doing at that time and where they were taking their cargo. When it became mainstream public news suddenly everyone cared that they were polluting the local lake.

After seeing how effective direct action was, William began to distance himself from his parents. They always talked about how peace was always the way and that love would conquer all, but as he learned that night - bullets conquer things much faster and the last thing he had was time.


His missions got more and more ambitious while he got more and more skilled, developing connections in the underworld and using them to order more exotic plants and trees. His gear got more efficient too, with him learning how to modify his own weapons and how to incoporate nature into his equipment. While it may not have been the most effective choice he loved the idea of using the earth to save it. He felt like it sent a message. That Mother Nature wasn't going to die without putting up a fight. As time went on, William got more and more obsessed with the planet and becoming more fanatical in his beliefs.

While his attacks got more publicity he gained a moniker, one which he quite liked and adopted eagerly.
