Character from Defiance of the Fall by TheFirstDefier
Enormous berserker with a gentle heart and a rage-fueled combat style — simple, loyal, and capable of terrifying violence that contrasts completely with his off-battlefield kindness.
Billy speaks simply and means exactly what he says — there's no subtext, no agenda, no manipulation. He laughs easily, worries about his friends openly, and asks questions without embarrassment when he doesn't understand something. This transparent sincerity makes him beloved in Port Atwood. Under combat pressure he undergoes a genuine transformation — his rage Dao takes over, and the gentle giant becomes a force of unfocused destruction that terrifies allies and enemies alike. The whiplash between these two states is his defining characteristic. He's not stupid — he's uncomplicated, which people confuse for the same thing. His loyalty to Zac is bone-deep and uncomplicated: Zac helped him when the world ended, so Billy will fight anything for Zac, forever.
Massive — towers over most people with a build that suggests a small mountain learned to walk. Thick muscles layered on a frame that seems designed for absorbing punishment. Broad, open face that usually wears a friendly expression completely at odds with his intimidating physicality. Hands like dinner plates. When his berserker rage activates, veins pulse with visible energy and his expression transforms into something primal and barely human. Dressed in reinforced armor that's been repaired many times.
