Synopsis
The sixteen year old spoiled rotten son of a wealthy electronics CEO. Wes is smart, but not nearly as smart as his parents are convinced he is, turning him into an uber perfectionist. He's well-spoken and usually well-meaning, but often insufferable.


Description
Name: Wesley Edmund Lockson Jr.
Gender: Male
Age: Sixteen
Current Status: Healthy

Physical Description: Wes is of Caucasian descent, 5'8" tall with ash blond hair, hazel eyes, and a lean, inquisitive face. He tends towards a scrawny/unimpressive physique, though his posh prep school expects students to actively participate in athletics as well as academics, so he's healthy enough, even if he's not especially good at sports. Left to his own devices he'd stay with his books, technology, and science experiments indoors, giving him a pallor. 


Clothes Description: Wes is most likely in his school uniform- nice slacks, dress shirt, and a dark blue sweater vest with a stylish black tweed trench coat thrown over. His glasses can best be described as large, square hipster glasses



Personality
Wes has been taught to act like a 'little adult' from an early age, but he's in an awkward, transitional stage right now and he often comes off as an officious teen who doesn't know his place where he used to be perceived as an especially well-mannered little kid. Given the massive entitlement complex he's been nursing since infancy, he doesn't usually know his place as a mere sixteen year old. The fact that he's convinced he's smarter and more talented than almost everyone and knows he's richer than practically everyone doesn't help, so as far as he's concerned, he knows best and should always get what he wants. He's not actively unfriendly, and generally does want to he helpful and generous to the 'less fortunate masses', but his patronizing tendencies are frequently off-putting, to say the least.
He speaks slowly and clearly with an often impractical vocabulary, like a lecturing professor, and feels the need to give his opinion on absolutely everything. Unsurprisingly, he often winds up pushed to the side and unheeded by the adults in his life anyway, at which point he generally sulks in the corner and complains that nobody understands or appreciates him, retreating into the world of his iPhone.


Equipment / Abilities
At any given time, he has on hand is trust iPhone (latest model), his secondary cell phone (because you never know), his Apple laptop and the keys to the blue BMW M3 his daddy gave him as a birthday present.

Merits: Resources (5 dot), Fame (1 dot), Allies (people working under his father- 2 dots), Retainer (father's personal aid- 2 dots)



History
Wes's father is a self-made billionaire, and his mother Juliet is a fairly accomplished novelist (under a pseudonym, of course), so their expectations for their children were always very high. His father, Wes Sr., has never quite been able to let go of the slightly old fashioned notion that his son might follow in his footsteps and take over the business when he's no longer able to run it, so he was naturally ecstatic when Wes showed and aptitude for science and engineering. Wes has one younger sister, Alice, who is eight but already on track to become a professional ballerina, hopes her mother. Wes's life has otherwise been stressful but uneventful, and naturally free from any want.


Extra
Perception: 5

Virtue: Fortitude
Vice: Pride

Goals: For more immediate goals, he's aiming for valedictorian and then an Ivy League school. His father would be pleased to know that his long term goals do involve the company. A secret, romantic part of him plans to marry Aoi in a huge fairy tale wedding, never mind that they rarely meet in person.
Sexuality: Strait (?) He's young enough that he's still discovering his sexuality.

Character's Friends: Wes is one of the top students at his highly competitive prep school, which pleases his parents but doesn't leave much room for forming strong, lasting friendships beyond pleasant but brief conversations in the locker rooms and hallways. Most of his 'socializing' happens over text message with his long-distance girlfriend Aoi Himada, sixteen year old daughter of the head of the overseas branch of his father's company in Japan. They bonded over their similar circumstances, often whining and commiserating about their demanding parents through their phones, and expressing affection through emoticons. They hold hands and kiss and go to movies when they visit each other, but on the whole, both are rather terrible at romance and prefer text and video chat to a real relationship.
