BACK TO THE BASICS
Full Name: William Henry Drake
Nicknames: Bill
Birthday: 22nd June
Age: 57
Sexuality: Straight
Gender: Male
Stereotype: Genius//Prep//Foreign
Status: Divorced
BEHIND THE SCENES
Personality: William is a sardonic, worldy man. After a messy split from his ex wife he has trust issues and finds it difficult to open up to people. He often thinks the worst of people he doesn't know but once you've befriended him he'll stay loyal to you for ever. He has a quick temper with anyone not interested in literacy but usually manages to control himself, however, he's a strict disciplinarian.
History: William Drake was born on 22nd of June 1950 to Henry and June Drake in the Churchill Hospital, Oxford, England. His parents were very rich and spent most of his childhood out socializing. He was bought up by his nanny and was home schooled until the age of twelve when he was sent off to Eaton College. He attended in misery until he graduated with top marks. He then attended Oxford University for six years and finally left with a PHD in English. He began teaching at Reading University where he met his future wife, Sheila. After seven years there he was proclaimed a Professor and he and Sheila finally had enough money to marry, as they'd both agreed they wanted to be indipentant from their parents.
William and Sheila lived happily, or so he thought, in a reasonably sized house in Sonning for the next twenty three years despite not having any children, until one day Sheila packed her bags and left William for their gardener, 35 year old Matthew Cunnings. After that, William's life in England fell apart. Sheila had been his whole world so when the divorce procedings were complete William packed up his things, quit his job and left the country.
A year later he arrived in Drakesville, ready to start his new teaching job at Drakesville high where he's been teaching English ever since.

ON THE OUTSIDE
Appearance: William is tall and thin, standing at about 6 foot 3 inches high. He has a full head of hair although it's completely grey tinged with streaks of white. He wears a short beard covering his chin and jawline which meets his long side burns. He has iron grey eyes which wrinkle attractively when he smiles. He has quite pale skin which sits loosly on his high cheekbones.
He always wears clothes bought in his local charity shop for less than ten dollars and decorates his work suits with a variety of multicoloured ties. His shoes are always polished to a sheen although he only has two pairs and both have pretty perminant scuffs on. e had a pair of reading glasses that he keeps with him at all times. They have thin silver frames and glass made specifically for his eyes.
