The Painted Man
Billy's skin is covered in markings that grant him limited abilities. So far he has discovered he has a marking that grants him a lesser version of Julian's ability, one that creates fire, and another that creates a suit of armour, among others. There are others on his body that he is yet to test, in particular the skull-like one that rests on his hip.

{ APPEARANCE }
Billy is, and always has been, rather willowy in his build. Unlike his companion, Billy is less concerned with outward appearance, choosing to dress rather simply. His hair is long and unkempt and he's usually a little scruffy.

{ PERSONALITY }
If life among London's poorest has taught Billy anything, it's that there's no point in taking life too seriously. The time here is short so you might as well enjoy every moment of it, which is something Billy fully intends to do. On the surface, he rarely takes anything seriously and generally believes everything will sort itself out for the best. While he may not always be on the right side of the law, Billy isn't all that bad of a person. He's willing to put himself in trouble's way to keep a friend safe. He's not one to trust people at first glance, but once someone has his friendship, it's pretty much for life.

History
Being one of seven children, Billy had two options, 1) Become an insufferable suck up like his brother or 2) Become self-reliant and independent. Billy chose option 2. Even from a young age, he was an independent child, but he always made sure to keep an eye out for his sisters, even if they didn't always appreciate it. Growing up in the slums of London, Billy got used to a hand to mouth existence, though he was determined to keep some coin back whenever he could in case times got harder, which they inevitably would. While his father and older brothers worked local factories, Billy 'supplemented' the family income by picking the pockets of the hapless wealthy folk who visited White Chapel.
He was twelve the first time he met Julian. There were only two reasons a young man like Julian would be in White Chapel. One was that he was there to sample the delights of White Chapel's brothels, or two, he was Iron Touched. Judging by the small bag Julian was carrying and the uncertainty on his face, Billy figured he was Iron Touched. Taking pity on the young man, Billy dropped in on a hostel he knew was sympathetic to Iron Touched, searching for a room for Julian, before finding him once again, this time in an alleyway and giving him the details of the hostel.
Not long after that, Billy was offered a job as a farm hand just outside the city. With no real reason to refuse work, Billy left his beloved London. The work was hard but the pay was decent and for the first time in his life, Billy knew what it was to go to bed on a full stomach. During his time on the farm, Billy began noticing marks forming on his skin. They were too precise to be any illness Billy knew of, which did little to set his mind at ease. As his years on the farm built, more markings formed. On a rare day off, Billy decided to take himself to a quiet corner and began exploring the marks. Once he sent himself crashing into the wall of a barn, he decided to stop, figuring he knew enough. Unsurprisingly, he kept the fact that was Iron Touched to himself. Until he got into a fight with one of the older lads on the farm which resulted in the lad getting some rather nasty burns on his face. Billy was dismissed and set packing.
Back in London, Billy found himself a job in the market. Which was where he met Mary Smith. To say Billy was smitten was an understatement. He began courting her and everything was going wonderfully well until she met Patrick. Realising that he would be trapping her in a loveless marriage with a very real possibility of her becoming his brother's mistress, Billy stepped aside, albeit bitterly and reluctantly. Shortly after Patrick and Mary's engagement, Billy lost his job at the market after his boss discovered he was Iron Touched, as did his family. Billy now found himself as one of the citizens of White Chapel he had once helped. He sought out Julian, who had managed to do reasonably well for himself, falling in with the skinny boy he had met six years earlier.
