William S. Black

William S. Black

Born: October 14, 1953. Age: 57

Hair color: Blond, but starting to be more white than blond. He wears the classic cut, but a little longer around his ears and collar, just not touching the collar.

Eye color: faded blue, like old, worn jeans.

Build: He was an athlete in school, and has kept his physique up through the years through running and swimming. He is very trim and fit for his age. Average height, about 5'10.

Job: Collage professor at Dartmouth University in Hanover, New Hampshire. He teaches American History and is the Chairman of the History Department.

Most admirable action: Every year he hosts a marathon to raise money for a scholarship for underprivileged kids.

Least admirable action: He thinks that most women are stupid and shouldn't be in the collegiate situations. So he always grades women harder, and since he is the Chairman of the History Department, he blocks women from promotions within his department.

Greatest fear: Being buried alive.

Greatest desire: To be the Dean of History Dept. and maybe have a Hall named after him.

Darkest Desire: To have complete dominations over someone. Almost to the point of a kidnapper, with someone tied in his basement, totally dependent on him.

One Sentence: Carpe Diem

Things that would drive him to tears: News that his beloved father or estranged brother had died.

Things that would drive him to murder: Power. Either in work or over another person.

　

Enthusiastic- Every Saturday he organizes a run with students that want to better their grades. They must keep up with him, and be able to answer the questions he poses.

Dependable- Every Monday and Wednesday at 5:15 am, William walks into the school's pool and swims his 100 laps. Then at 8:00 am, he opens his office for students with questions or who need extra tutoring. At 12:35, exactly, he eats his lunch at the same table in the teachers lounge overlooking the quad. Then every evening at 6:30 he walks to his tidy bungalow just off campus

Gifted- William always tested in the top 2 percentile on everything he did, but what really made him gifted was his charisma. Unlike other highly intelligent people, he could talk and relate to others. In fact, he could charm the devil if he wanted. He made people feel at ease and included in every situation, never made them uneasy with his intelligence, and told stories that had everyone laughing so hard they cried.

Studious-William ran a 2 hour study group in the library every week for those who wanted his help. He has 2 Doctorate's and was working on his 3rd. He writes for the school paper as a advisor, and consults with various T.V. shows and movies needing advice on American History.

Exacting- His classes were the hardest in the History Department. He worked hard on his lectures and expected his students to work just as hard. He didn't accept typos, spelling or grammar errors; they were in collage and there were word processing programs after all. Although he was tough, he wasn't heartless. If a student showed he was putting in the work, but still struggling, he would make exceptions with the grading.
