William Polaski
Nickname:
Chief, Buzz
Age:
53
Nationality: American
Occupation:
Retired Deck Chief
Base of Operations:
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Affiliation:
Navy (formerly)
Voice:
Dry, gruff but generally soft, a high tenor.
Personality:
Attentive, Stoic, and Fearless; Buzz is a man of no-nonsense, a rock upon which any foundation could be built. Nothing gets under his skin, because he's learned the hard way that letting others dictate what you should be only hurts you in the long run. He generally seems Aloof, not entirely ready to lead should it be demanded but not against it if there's no other option. He ran his team on deck efficiently. After years of working both under fire during the omnic crisis and in general moving around giant jet powered air craft he doesn't get moved easily. His face generally looks disinterested, and his tone doesn't help much to dispell that. He could be happy enough to cry and you'd never know it.
Back Story:
Buzz, or William starts out Beatrice Polaski, the youngest girl in a family of 5 kids. Rarely did Beatrice fit the standards of a young lady, she found making female friends beyond tedious and rarely if ever indulged in hobbies she considered "frivolous", things like shopping, or gossiping. From a young age she had a no-nonsense way about her. As the years went by this started to manifest in distressing ways. After nervously watching her youngest older brother confess to their parents that he was gay, she found the nerve to out herself when she started middle school.
Things were not easy for young William, discomfort, transitional treatment and general distrust and occasional disgust lorded over him. Eventually leading to the scars on his face, he was glassed by a group of Seniors in his Sophomore year. There was no action taken against them, even with the insistence of his parents. It was Milwaukee, shit happened. He was lucky to still have sight in his eye. There was no stopping however, and any attempts of violence after that were met with fists raised. He grew a hard shell and callouses on his knuckles. He started going by Buzz in High School and it stuck.
He'd always had the idea of going into the military. The Navy specifically, but he had to put off service for 2 years during which his Transition from Beatrice to William was completed. Soon as everything was fully recovered and his new identity, was solidified he joined up. Basic went by like a breeze, he proved himself to be as capable as anyone else. He went to work on a carrier, and found his calling on the deck.
A few promotions later and he found himself embroiled in the Omnic Crisis, it was a special kind of hell, but their ship made it through in the end. He suffered no injuries and was given no special honors but they'd done their job and they'd done it well. During the peaceful times he'd, sort of fallen in with a commanding officer, and had to choose court martial for misconduct or retirement with full honors. He chose the latter. He went back home, found himself a house and that was about it really. Though he could see on the news each night about the after effects of the conflict. The dissolution of Overwatch and the outlawing of their missions. Strange to be alive through all of it. In the end he supposed it was just as well.
Maybe this world was done with Heroes and Villains. Maybe it was time for common folk to settle in and do what was right instead.
