Trash Company

The Trash Company takes on odd jobs from rich people; After completing their work (which includes but is not limited to cleaning), they come up with a heist to steal valuable(s).

Not much is known yet about his earlier life but he is a honest and considerate boy, sometimes a little cowardly, who cares deeply for those around him. When he hits his head, Will turns into his tougher alter ego Crosse, who is a strong fighter. Will searches for a part-time job because he does not want to appear ungrateful for his uncle taking him in, and winds up employed by the Trash Company. After learning that the Trash Company stole things, his immediate reaction was to call the police, before being reminded by the company that he was considered an accomplice, and his uncle was a boss in the mafia.
