This is Lel again, bringing in my second character. For this one I decided to raid my childhood nostalgia bookshelf. Meet Will Stanton from the Dark is Rising Sequence. Book canon, of course. Anyone here remember it?
Young Will is a solemn and quiet boy from rural 1970s Buckinghamshire. He enjoys reading, singing, and teasing his many many older siblings. Will is also the youngest and last of the Old Ones of the Light, a race of immortal magical beings who are only loosely connected to time. To Will, linear time is something that happens to other people. He also happens to be involved in a rather... unique take on arthurian legend. Specifically, he plays the part of Merlin to Arthur's son.
As an Old One Will has access to a lot of magical abilities, among them speaking into other's minds and feeling the presence of Light and Dark. I put up an explanation of his abilities and permissions post here. His loss is his ability to feel the guidance of the Light. No more simply knowing what to do.
He will be arriving in Paradisa immediately after the conclusion of Silver on the Tree. Just after watching all the other old Ones sailing away to Avalon and all of his human friends forgetting everything. And after Will accepts his duty as the Watchman of the Light to watch over humanity alone.
If anyone wants to plot, my aim is leloipa. I also have a plurk under the same name.
