we were forever

name: william jonathan fletcher nickname(s): will, willie (for those that are particularly close to him, he doesn't like it much otherwise, but makes exceptions) gender & pronouns: cis male, he/him age: thirty-one orientation: bisexual languages spoken: english, french, spanish, italian and some greek label: the humanist occupation: writer

William comes from old money and old family titles, not that he wanted much to do with them anyway. He's the oldest and he should follow suit, being a duke in this day and age is a high honor, but William chooses to follow in his mother's footsteps instead. Beth was a well known actress in the UK, often being given bigger roles over others. He grew up on the scene and even started out young himself. William acted from the moment he was able to, joining in on commercials or even playing the family kid in small films. It got him a name and led him to hollywood.

To say his family was disappointed was an understatement. His mother didn't have much say as she'd passed due to an illness unfortunately that had hit her hard by the time William was in his twenties. He'd left as soon as she'd passed on, not a care for his father, sister or brother that he'd left behind. It wasn't that he hadn't cared really, he just didn't appreciate being tied down to something he didn't want and on her deathbed, Beth had told him to follow his dreams. His real dream that she only knew of, to write. He'd shown her some of his stories and scripts he'd been working on before she'd gone from the world and she'd encouraged him to use that skill outside of the acting.

Even though his grandparents and father likely would never speak to him again given he'd all but abandoned the title, he pursued Hollywood anyway. For a time he stuck with acting, but he kept writing any chance he got. After showing some of what he had to some producers and the like, he garnered interest and someone introduced him to the producer of whispers of the past, there were other writers involved, but William was thrilled to get his foot in the door. This is his first chance at writing something that will matter, at getting his name out there other than his face. And deep down he hopes that his family back home see that he was meant for more than a family legacy, that it doesn't hurt to follow ones dreams instead of doing what one is told all of the time.

oh and because of his family money, he has allowed himself to have a nice home in town, something simple, but lavish in its' own way. he wouldn't say no to a roommate or two if someone wanted to stay around. and even though he has money he doesn't flaunt it otherwise, other than to donate to local charities and ones back home when he can to, the least he could do, at least he felt, was help people that need it.

to be added on to as I see fit.

wanted connections.

siblings: he's got a younger brother and sister. perhaps one or both decide to follow him to hollywood? one twenty-five/ish, the other one earlier twenties.

coworkers: he's got friends in hollywood from past films he's acted in and such, any familiarity with any of those people would be liked.

one night stands/exes. william doesn't settle down really, his real life is too busy for that. he's had his fair share of night partners, not that he'd admit it to just anyone. perhaps one of these could turn into something more? ( he's bisexual, btw, so gender does not matter to him, more the person really )
