Background:

Will Bradley was born on the 17th of April 1983 in Poole hospital, England. Son of a police officer and an administrator , he was lucky enough that his mother stopped working to raise me and then 3 years later his brother. With Will's father leaving the police force when Will was aged 2, the family moved to live with his father's parents before ending up in a bungalow with a giant garden in the middle of the farms and fields of Somerset. Will's early years were dpent charging around the garden, younger brother and dogs in tow, engaged in one adventure or another (Robin Hood, the A team, Cowboys and Indians, Three Musketeers) The rest of Will's time was spent reading and he was a soak for knowledge, managing to get a scholarship to the local Cathedral School (Wells, smallest city in England, more of a town really).

11-20:

A tall child, head and shoulders above the rest, his natural size, strength and toughness made up for his lack of coordination on the rugby field and he did well going on to play at county level. His size and early development meant that in true rugby culture, he was the one relied on to buy alcohol from about the age of 14 and he quickly developed a tolerance, even engaging in sneaking booze into the dorm of his friend's boarding house. Meanwhile he continued to do well academically with maths and the sciences, struggling more with languages. On the other side he was a quiet and reserved, naive child with a small but close group of friends, his continued interest in reading and his introduction to Warhammer, keeping him out of the 'cool' group. During this time, he also got heavily involved with Army cadets, doing various adventure training activities through them, even leading to a hiking expedition to Iceland with his friends. Apparently something in this quiet boy interested the military recruiters as he won a sixth form scholarship and then university bursary to attend Sandhurst (the British Army Officer training) upon graduation from university.
Completing school and after visit India with and ex, Will headed to Nottingham University to study Electrical engineering, quickly discovering that there was a lot of computer programming he switched course to a Material engineering course and proceeded to enjoy his independence. Whilst at university he also met similarly minded hobbyists and branched out from Warhammer to RPGs and other board games. Finally and possibly most importantly, it was at this stage he met his future wife.

20-30:
Not loving his course, Will failed to put in enough work, scraping through to complete his degree. Having met his future wife, Will decided at this time not to join the Army, instead after a couple of rubbish filler jobs and some travelling around Australia, New Zealand and Asia, ended up joining the London Fire Brigade and moving to the big city. The second half of this decade was filled with learning the job of being a firefighter and outside, enjoying the life of a young carefree couple living in a big city. Hobbies took a backseat, life instead filled with making the most of having so much only a short tube ride away. Work was long periods of quiet, interrupted by short bursts of frantic work and Will soon became accustomed to unpleasant sights, but the work was rewarding, whether fighting fires, dealing with car crashes or just visiting pensioners to fit smoke alarms. The leadership qualities that had interested the Army, quickly came into play and Will was quickly promoted to Crew Manager (I think Lieutenant in the US) where being calm, authoritative and professional made up for being the centre of the party.
Outside of work, Will and his future wife got bored of the city and hankered for countryside life, finally deciding to make the move to a village outside Oxford, buy a house and settle down.

30-35:

With neither Will and his partner being religious (despite his Cathedral school education), marriage was never an important consideration, however with a house, pets and a son on the way, Will decided a party was needed and after 12 years together Will and Lucy were married. A little daughter followed 2.5 years later, almost as planned and the family was complete. The exhaustion of two kids and a second job to support them all (gardening and then window cleaning) meant Will's exercise opportunities disappeared and his strength and stamina suffered (along with his patience!).
Work continued well and after a few naive approaches to interviews, Will was promoted to Watch Manager (US captain i think). Hobbies gained a resurgence here, due to the need for Will or Lucy to remain on childcare, and as such he dived with enthusiasm back into WW2 tabletop games, joined a local gaming group and even mde forays into the world of being a GM!
