PERSONALITY Mac is a typical intellectual on the outside. People know he has answers and that if he doesn't have them he's happy to do the research. However, he can also be quite charming and funny. People often look up to him for his ability to find answers and make himself known in a crowd. Still, it's easy to tell that he is proud of the abilities he's evolved thus far. He's told his whole life that he is better than most, so a part of him always hears his parents voices telling him he is the smartest in the room and he often believes it. The thing about Mac is, he always seems like he's a part of some inside joke. He often carries a smirk on his face and makes jokes - seemingly jokes that most people don't get. Usually that's because the joke is about a particularly niche topic, but it can also be because it's an inside joke with someone who isn't even around. Mac tries to keep a positive attitude and be good company with those around him. He was raised to have good manners and still uses them. But, sometimes, he can get a little restless and his true playful side comes out. Mac has always been taken seriously from an education and professional standpoint. He has focused on his career based future and knowledge first and foremost. Therefore, his strongest, most hidden desire opposes that. Mac wants nothing more, deep down, than to be taken seriously emotionally. Whether than be his parents to be more accepting of his flaws, his brother to have ever cared about him, or to fall in love with someone who really sees him. Mac carries himself with grace, charm and intellect -- but underneath is a boy who just wants to be free to show his emotions in a safe space. He also desires to stay composed and not lose his temper. His talents outside of the world of Magical Academia include singing and studying Qigong martial arts. He took up Qigong to keep his temper at bay, as well as the harsh environment he was raised in. His Patronus takes the shape of an Albatross. His main memory to call upon is the first time he sang out loud all alone. That was the first time he sang however he wanted, not caring what anyone thought about his form or about the notes being perfect. He was free. He rarely experiences a sense of 'freedom', so the flight of an Albatross is very meaningful to him. ORIGIN & RELATIONS Origin: Russia Anita Williams nee Adams -- Mother, 50 Todd Williams -- Father, 57 Anton Williams -- Brother, 1997-2024 HISTORY As the younger of two, a lot was expected of Mac. His parents, Anita and Todd, realized his potential early on and cultivated an environment of learning and studying. Mac was encouraged to ask questions and research everything. He was good at it, and he enjoyed it. He was good at almost everything he touched, brilliant in every subject -- according to his parents. The truth was, Mac tried really hard to be that way. He studied more than most, he stayed up late going over research, he put himself through hours upon hours of work to live up to his parents expectations -- all the while not showing that he was making an effort at all. Making it all look effortless. It was hard not to pretend it was easy -- the way his parents reacted when he succeeded was enough for him to fake and lie his way through the painful parts of becoming the intellectual genius that he is. He was never an extremely exuberant child. At least not in most situations. He had friends that would make him smile, and give him something comforting and positive to think on. But at first, he didn't have an entirely outgoing disposition. His parents laughed and would say he was just melancholy and too genius to do childish things. They started to paint him as such, a genius. They painted his older brother, Anton, the same way and Anton really took this to heart. He believed, rather quickly, that he was due great things in this life. The truth was, Mac was always overstimulated by it all. By the bright colors, the bright lights, the loud noises of people enjoying or not enjoying their lives. He always felt like it was so loud everywhere he went and that every single thing that touched him on the air vibrated to a point that he couldn't ignore things unless he was on his own. That was the main reason why he often locked himself in his room and read books for days on end. His parents just thought that he was an intellectual child, so it was at the youngest age possible that they started to mold him as such. But even the books got boring. Mac didn't necessarily want to be bored and all alone, he wanted friends, he really did. He wanted to do exciting things and be like the characters in his books and go on adventures and see the world. But the world always seemed to come at him with such force as if to say you can only come out here if you can handle it, and if you can't, you are weak. His temper didn't help, his temper that stemmed from noticing every little thing around him, and being bothered by it all. His temper was the main thing that hindered him, so he started studying Qigong Martial Arts to calm himself and find peace, mental clarity and emotional stability. It was his parents idea. After all, what was one more thing for their son to excel at? The enrolled him in singing lessons as well, once they heard his voice, but he was able to get out of those by saying that he wanted to focus more on the martial arts. That wasn't entirely the truth, he just didn't like someone telling him how to sing. Deep down, he wished his older brother would be there for him more, but since he worked so hard he didn't make the time for Mac that he could have. In the face of his brother, Mac could feel the sense of inadequacy, he could tell when his parents were proud or disappointed, he could feel resentment in himself from the way his parents treated his brother like the hero. He didn't know what to say, or how to handle what he was hearing. Of course, a strong part of him believes what his parents taught him to believe. That he was special, that he knows better than others, that he's smarter than most people around him. And why shouldn't he believe it? He did the work, he memorized the information, he's Head of his Class now. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, charming and talented. Still, Mac kept his emotions in check so that his brother and parents could never see them. Especially Anton. The older Anton grew, the more ruthless he seemed to be. His tactics for gaining power grew twisted and grotesque... something he learned from the family their parents worked for: the Nightshade family. When his parents had moved to Russia right after getting married, they soon became useful to the Nightshades as experts in the field of creature induced wounds. Since the Nightshade family was studying magical creatures, the Williams expertise came in handy. Mac, truly, was terrified of their employers, but still took the time to learn everything his parents knew about healing. All that bottled fear and emotion snapped in Mac when he was fifteen. He was sent to counseling at school. Not because he asked for it, but because he was court ordered to. At the beginning of his fifth school year, Mac got in a fight. He had always had a bad temper, and he had fought it for most of his life. But, the year before, Mac started to make reckless friends and become more reckless himself as far as his temper went. There were moments his friends were even scared of him, but 'respected' his hard exterior and ability to 'protect' them with his hulk-like attitude. He liked being the leader of the pack, that space worked for him. However, his daily practices to avoid his temper evaporated over time. So, when the school year neared it's end, he was doing less martial arts and therefore the emotions of those around him were louder and his temper was shorter than ever. A fight started between two groups of boys the third week of his fifth year which ended up in Mac beating another boy almost senseless. It was a big deal at the school, and almost all the boys involved were pulled out for temporary expulsion. Mac caused the most physical damage though and was sent to court. There, he was given a two month suspension from school and was only allowed to return if he did counseling twice a week. Twice. A. Week. until the end of the school year, then he'd be evaluated. The counseling was hard, but what was almost worse was that same year his brother, Anton, started to date one of the Nightshade daughters- Rose. Mac had always thought Rose was the only tolerable one of the bunch, the only one with a little bit of decency - from what he could see. But he knew what kind of person his brother was and wanted to warn her... but he didn't. He had his own demons to fight. He helped with the family business for a few years after graduation from school, but then moved on to train as a healer professionally in India. There, he worked as a healer for a while as well. He was happy to have distance from his family. In 2022, he moved to England to shake things up and take a job at St. Mungos. All of the strange murders happening at Hogwarts that year had everyone shaken up... and reminded him a little too much of home. The first time he heard from his parents four years was when his parents called in 2024 to tell Mac his brother was dead. They said it was probably an accident, or that he was sticking his nose where it didn't belong, but they didn't seem... that surprised. It didn't surprise Mac either, knowing all the death and betrayal that goes on in the Nightshade family. He instantly felt relief, which he then felt instantly terrible for. His brother was horrible to him, abusive and cold. Why shouldn't Mac be glad he was dead? But, now, three years later, Mac wonders if he is meant to avenge his brothers death and find out exactly what happened. But, he hated himself when he beat that other boy up in school and can't imagine physically harming anyone... so he isn't sure what form of vengeance he is willing to take. WANT AD
