Character description/personality:
Billy is a beautiful guy. He's charismatic, handsome, and has a singing voice that always seems to hit heart chords that stir emotions in people without even needing to hear the next note or lyrics. In human mode, he has a pretty-boy look to him, soft white hair and an average build. In hybrid mode, which he is in normally, Billy looks about as appealing as human-sized white rabbit can look, even having the same hair as in his human form. Both forms, he is 5'2" and has blue colored eyes.

Billy views people as needing care, lifting up, and otherwise... coddling. He loves performing for people as it tends to result in cheering people up. However, Billy's time with Velocity has twisted his view of love and how to express it. He genuinely believes killing good people is usually a good thing and that he's doing them a favor by sending them to the afterlife. Killing bad people is a bad thing because if they get sent to the afterlife, they will actually suffer worse than they may be suffering in this life. He's also smart. Billy does not kill without calculating the risks to himself and his family.

Speaking of, Billy worships his wife as a goddess and (more to come).
