IC CHARACTERISTICS
CURRENT CANON POINT:

End of the Don't Starve adventure mode. After Wilson has been put on the Nightmare Throne and has been ruling over the Constant for at least a short while.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

Wilson stands at about 170cm, but keep in mind that he's wearing heels. His entire suit is made of shadow and will appear almost alive when he gets agitated. His hair and beard also appear to be made of billowing shadows as long as he has access to his powers. His hands are solid shadow claws, with the shadow corruption tainting them entirely black reaching up to nearly his shoulders. His hands are usually covered by black gloves. He has sharp teeth, almost triangular in shape and neatly fitting together reminiscent of a bear trap when he's calm. When he gets agitated or even angry, his teeth change appearance, becoming sharper, more vicious and more numerous. His claws equally get more vicious. All hints at the monstrous form the Nightmare King can take.

DEMEANOR:

Annoying. Pushy. Demanding. Wilson isn't interesting in making friends but much more driven by his scientific curiosity. And he's currently not bound to the throne...

ABILITIES:

Wilson can summon large shadow hands to grab stuff and people as well as an assortment of shadow creatures (one, maybe two at a time) that will only be visible to people low on sanity. These creatures aren't aggressive initially, but should a person's sanity drop even lower or Wilson actively sends them to attack a person, they will be drawn to them and not only become visible, but also hostile. Wilson can also summon a single shadow clone of himself. It always appears with an axe and appears to have a mind of its own. In most cases it will just run off to chop down a tree. Unlike Maxwell, Wilson has never learned to split his mind into pieces to not only control his shadow clones, but also maintain his own sanity at the same time. And with Wilson's sanity being debatable on a good day... Well. He can use his powers to levitate (not fly), teleport short distances by poofing away in a cloud of shadow or doing the cartoon-y thing of dropping into a shadow-y hole. There's also a shadow sword he can pull out of his shadows. It will steadily drain the sanity of anyone wielding it. Fun times.

MEDICAL INFORMATION: Physically healthy. Mentally... Questionable on a good day.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Calling him a bad scientist is a very easy way to make him angry.

OTHER: Wilson studied medicine along with chemistry and also worked as a surgeon while on Earth. But also, he's from 1921 Earth... He has also died many, many times and will talk about death and dying in a morbidly casual way.

IC PERMISSIONS
MENTAL: Difficult. His mind has been corrupted by Them, but let's talk about this option.
MIMICRY: He'd find it hilarious and send out his Shadow Clone to join.
VIOLENCE: Wilson doesn't seek out violence and initially will attempt to dodge any attempt at harming him. But he is well versed in fighting a variety of monsters with a variety of improvised weapons even without his Shadow powers. But let's talk about this~
MAGIC: Please do. But also: Let's talk!
DEBATE: Sure. Just remember that his mental state is... Well.
