[androit]

Name: Will Vega, Jr. (Junior) Canon: Original ("Near-Miss") Sex: Male Age: 27 Height: 6'3" / 191cm Weight: 194lbs / 89kg Species: Human (Android) Appearance: Six feet, three inches of lanky nerd. Fluffy black hair that isn't always in the best condition, bit of a well-trimmed beard, and stormy brown eyes. Angular features and a rather obvious habit of slouching and leaning over — most of his friends are shorties and he's learned to compensate. Recently come into a scar going from the right side of his bottom lip down to his chin. PB is Adam Driver. Psyche: Peaceful house in a green field with blue skies, overlooking a gentle cliff where waves break against the rocks. Picturesque but possibly very dangerous or deadly thanks to nature. To those who know him, Junior is an incredibly sweet person. His thoughts tend to circle around ways to make people happy or otherwise accomplish good things for the sake of his own or someone else's betterment, simply because it feels right and allows him to control his influence on the world. Although growing up sheltered has left him not very gifted in the way of communication or social interaction, left him shy and meek at times, Junior uses his actions to work around the limitations where he can, and shrugs off botched conversations where he can't. He's had enough of those to know how to let things go. People that he clicks with or make an effort to understand him rate high on his list of priorities because despite all his social issues, he is still a social person who would rather be surrounded by friends than alone. Not everyone understands how this works when he tends to get caught up in his own head, at a loss for words or simply taking a problem in too deep in order to analyze and overanalyze until he can come up with a response. He was given the time as a child and grown used to not having to rush himself in adulthood unless necessary. In contrast to his attachment to people and good deeds, his moral compass is not quite as you might think. Raised by assassins (even without knowing it at the time), he can be cavalier about jokes of violence or often untouched by things that are too far out of his reach. Countering that is his need to be helpful where he can do something and can result in some erratic behavior. Protecting the innocent and helping the worthy are some of the greatest causes to Junior, not so much upholding justice no matter what that means at any given moment. That his boyfriend and grandparents are all assassins does not bother him, because he knows they aren't without standards, would never hurt or kill someone who didn't deserve the repercussion. Not to say they're noble or just, but they operate in the world following cause and effect like anyone else. He feels utterly safe with them despite the fact that he's constantly in danger of being killed, kidnapped, tortured or any number of things. His own mental fortitude doesn't make it easy to hurt others no matter the danger against himself, knowing that it would probably break him to break someone else, put a pressure on him that may or may not change him. It's just Not Good For Him. Because of this, he despises the instincts he's been left with thanks to his grandparents' training and avoids physical conflict at every chance. Where he goes in his head, a place of pure self-protection and precision, is not somewhere that he likes to be without control; in some of the few times he's been caught off guard and put into that mindset, he's disabled many people perceived to be threats up to broken bones but never to the point of death. That this condition was instilled by his grandparents has left a rift in his personal connection with them, but could never damage the love and trust he has in them. Some things are just hardwired. Speaking of hardwired, Junior's status as an android has informed many of his opinions growing up. He was raised to distrust medical professionals as a matter of course to protect his identity, taught how to treat his own injuries or the rare sickness, and because of that became fiercely independent, able to take care of himself through some rough times if necessary. He views himself as having a healthy respect for nature's ability to survive, but does have to admit some respect for the more complex medical procedures such as transplants or cybernetics thanks to Felix's involvement. Pulling himself up by his bootstraps or only relying on those close to him is natural. Looking to higher authorities outside of his reach for aid? Not so much. His love and trust is a powerful thing. When attached to other people, he has the tendency to encourage them to do their best not for his sake but their own. Seeing the progress he's made growing up with the support of Felix (and seeing Felix grow with his own support), he knows other people can do the same and wishes nothing but that revelation for others. Although "the best" might be subjective, pushing them toward becoming content with their lot or working to improve themselves is not. His optimism is matched by his stubbornness that makes it hard to shake him off; on the other hand, he doesn't overstay his actual welcome if he's obviously doing more harm than good. His natural instinct is to rely on the emotional state of people around him to try and guide his actions for good or ill: he knows people even if he can't really talk with them. Where his love is concerned, all of it is devoted to the existence of one Felix Altair, whom he's had a crush on basically since the word go. Felix is his protector, his shelter, his inspiration, the reason he came out of his shell at all, the world and the stars. Felix is everything Junior isn't, and he adores it all. Junior would not fight for Felix, would not willingly fight for much (if anything), but he would certainly die for him over and over again. Their loyalty is the thing of songs and poems and now that they're finally together (after years of oblivious flirting and crushes), it's sappy. as. fuck.
