Background
Wil's grandfather, Astrad Ukinix, had a falling out with his parents and became disillusioned with Betazoid culture and religion. He also hated his telepathic and empathic abilities.
Astrad left Betazed to start a new life. He ended up on Earth working in wineries in France, where he met Wil's grandmother, Hayley, an Australian studying viticulture in France. Hayley and Astrad eventually married, and moved to Australia to run a winery in relatively insular community that at the time was resentful of the Federation, which suited Astrad. Astrad and Hayley had two children - Sally (female) and Anacem (male - Wil's father).
Anacem studied Oenology, becoming a wine maker. Whilst in Fremantle on the night before a wine maker’s conference, Anacem met his future wife, Stacey. Stacey was born in Melbourne, Australia but moved to Fremantle after she joined Starfleet as a tactical officer. Stacey and Anacem married quickly after their first meeting, and soon after had their first and only child, Wil.
Wil’s home has always been Fremantle, but he went to school in Sydney, Auckland, and Beijing. He is very close to his mother Stacey, and from a young age wanted to join Starfleet to be like his Mum. Throughout his life, he spent much of his time pulling apart and putting back together all manner of technology and reverse engineering software systems, which is how he came to have a technical mind. He also spent a lot of time at his grandparent’s winery - he has a great relationship with them, especially with Astrad.
There was nothing special or extraordinary about Wil's upbringing - until his teenage years. At age 16, Wil (like his grandfather) developed strong empathic abilities, which Wil struggled with, affecting his education. He received counselling from several Earth stationed Betazoids to help him cope, and at age 17 he even received several counselling sessions from a Vulcan, which helped him immensely. Wil has no telepathic abilities.
Before joining Starfleet Academy, Wil took a "gap year" (that ended up being almost two years), which is why he was slightly older than other cadets.
Being only one-quarter Betazoid, Wil looks human, and does not have black irises like his father or grandfather. Even with his empathic abilities, Wil considers himself human. Wil has never been to Betazed. However, unlike his half Betazoid father, Wil had an interest in Betazed throughout his childhood years. In recent years Wil has decided he wants to "go back" to Betazed and feels like he needs to - almost as if Betazed is calling him. Wil sees Astrad as his kindred connection to Betazed, and Astrad has suggested that maybe Wil can connect with Betazoids better than he himself ever did.
Personality
Wil has a wicked, cheeky sense of humour. He likes to make fun in most situations, in a fun and friendly type of way - which doesn't always go down well. However he mostly seems to get away with it.
His empathic abilities can cause some nervousness in Wil, as he considers himself a human that happens to have empathic abilities, and is not sure the human part of him is equipped to deal with it - even though he had extensive counselling in his late teens. Given his human appearance, having empathic abilities is something he keeps to himself and only discusses with close friends and family.
