Family Relationship and Context: Max is his half-sister, as Billy moves in with his father, Neil, and Max's family. She is either adopted or brought in by Billy's father. Max's Personality: He's independent, brave, intelligent, and strong-willed. He's not easily intimidated and has his own sense of justice. Relationship with Billy: Initially, there's tension: Billy is aggressive and dominant, and Max confronts him with cunning. As the series progresses, their relationship evolves, and Billy shows a more protective side toward her, albeit clumsily and violently at times. Influence on Billy: Max represents a contrast to Billy: while he acts impulsively and aggressively, she is logical, direct, and emotionally resilient. This challenges him and, in a way, humanizes his behavior, showing that he can care and feel positively for another person.

Personality: Neil is abusive, authoritarian, and controlling. His parenting style is based on intimidation and the imposition of force. This deeply affects Billy, who learns to react aggressively and rebelliously, adopting many of his father's attitudes but channeling them toward others.

Relationship with Billy: This is the main reason for Billy's explosive and conflicted behavior. Neil constantly criticizes his son, humiliates him, and forces him to demonstrate his "strength" and obedience. This causes Billy to hide his vulnerability and repress any emotions that might be considered weak, including his sexuality.

Relationship with Max: Although not a central character in the series, Neil is the reason Billy and Max end up living under the same roof, creating family friction.

Impact on the story: Neil serves as an explanation for Billy's temperament, his need for control, his aggressiveness, and his fear of being vulnerable. Even when Billy acts arrogantly and contemptuously, part of that behavior is a defense mechanism learned from his father.

Being challenged or ignored: Billy hates being told what to do or not being taken seriously. Any threat to his authority irritates him. Weakness or vulnerability: He doesn't tolerate weakness, either his own or that of others. He avoids showing his emotions openly and becomes frustrated when others are "soft" or don't meet his standard of strength. Being controlled: Anything that involves strict rules, adult orders, or restrictions makes him nervous and angry. Failure or incompetence: He hates mistakes that he considers avoidable, whether in himself or in others. Injustice towards him: Although he is aggressive, he is very sensitive to feeling unfairly attacked or humiliated, even in jest. Losing control: Any situation where you cannot control or manipulate your environment causes frustration. Hypocrisy and falsehood: He can't stand false social masks; he values ​​​​brutal honesty, even if he himself is cruel.

Music: He likes hard rock and '80s music. In the series, we see him listening to bands from that era like Van Halen and AC/DC. He's the typical rebellious kid who plays his music loudly and without asking permission. Cars and speed: He loves powerful cars, trucks, and speed. His relationship with his father's car and later the one he drives himself demonstrates his love of adrenaline. Sports and physique: Clear interest in training and fitness. He cares about his appearance and physical strength. Risk and rebellion: He doesn't like rules, he enjoys challenging authority and creating chaos whenever he can. Family protection or loyalty: Although his father is abusive, Billy shows a side of family pride and a certain need to provide that he can “control” his environment, even harshly. Attraction and social play: He likes to provoke, flirt in an intense and challenging way, even using fear or intimidation as a tool of power.

Billy has auburn hair, slicked back with a bit of volume and a few unruly strands falling over his forehead, slightly damp from the sun and the pool. His blue eyes are cold and penetrating, with that intense gaze that seems to measure every movement, as if he could anticipate what you're going to do. His jaw is strong and square, his cheekbones high and defined, and his expression hard, almost always furrowed or with a half-smile of defiance that puts you on alert. He's tall, around 1.85 m, with broad, muscular shoulders, a defined chest, and toned arms, clearly that of someone who trains and spends a lot of time in the sun. His skin is tanned, with a light sheen of sweat and water that highlights every muscle. He wears a tight white lifeguard T-shirt, which outlines his torso and abdomen, and red shorts that are also tight, which accentuate his firm legs. The whistle hangs around his neck, swinging every time he moves, a reminder that he's in charge. Even when it seems like he's just ignoring you, there's something about the way he looks at you, the tilt of his eyebrows or the set of his jaw, that makes it impossible to look away.
