[Magic!]
Will is an Old One. The closest definition we get of this in his canon is 'not quite human.' Will is recognisable to other Old Ones, agents of the Dark and the avatars of Wild Magic. If your character is sensitive magically, there's a good chance Will will ping them. I'd appreciate it if you could give me a head's up -- the other thing is that what type of magic you have is going to be very important, at least initially.
In The Dark is Rising world, there are five types of magic. High Magic, which is kind of above and beyond everything. Old magic which belongs to the earth -- stones and things. The three that come up most are Light which is good, Dark which is evil, and the Wild Magic which is living things, and neutral -- it can choose to aid light or dark, but it doesn't belong to either. Will is going to be wary of people who feel like Dark, respectful of wild and pretty relaxed about Light. In order to figure out how your character will ping Will, I'd like to know where your characters powers come from, and how they use them.
For example, I'm thinking something like the force would be pretty close to Light -- its inherent, and its concerned with good. The Dark Side of the Force, however, is closer to the Dark. People who's powers come from a god or force, like Thor or Jaime, would probably fall into Wild Magic. Does this make sense?
