Character William Evans, his relationship with Raj Rivera, and his backstory
[from blue horizon: bright days, sad days comic 4.]
SO... REGARDING WILLIAM. As you might notice, I tend to see him with pale skin, and in truth, the cast tends to call him "white."
I'm not gonna explain his long-term character creation lore here for a while, BUT REGARDLESS OF THAT, people can think of him as mixed Southeast Asian [a few generations back] or not (whatever works).
I left it ambiguous (actually it's not even talked about in book 1 because I revised his intro scene), and I'll very likely leave it ambiguous.
I might write up a short story that goes into Will's family line (basically his great-grandma was friends with Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's great-grandpa but neither might know about this)... IF Will is directly related to her.
