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.
