Introduction

The Bound

Wes could be seen as a stereotypical himbo without much fuss. His smiles are always big, his demeanor always strays towards friendly, and his questions frequent. Ratty or oversized clothes seem to be what he's most comfortable in, and you're more likely to see him with a stain from grease, paint, or food somewhere on his outfit or hands. He always seems to have a new bit of jewelry that looks a bit handmade. When one takes a look under the hood or jacket, they're going to find extensive tattoos that seem to fit a Mesoamerican theme.

The Dead

The Heart Ripper is a broken masculine frame that lumbers forth with vegetation growing from the breaks in it flayed skin. Its claws are tipped in dirt and viscera, and it seems constantly reaching for something to drag back. Its chest cavity yawns open under the vines of what grows out of it, only blackness to be found within. Every hiss from its lips come choked out backed by the scream of a dozen cicadas so far unseen.

The Aura

In the city, so many smells are easily overlooked. The one that touches more upon the sixth sense than traditional scent comes from Wesley and his Bargain. The scent of freshly tilled dirt, the scent of deep vegetation, and that scent where the two mix just after a hard rain. It's the scent of nature just before it overtakes again.

RP Hooks

Just Dance (Anyone) - One of the easiest ways to find Wesley is to turn on a strobe light. You can usually pick him out at a club or rave. Buy him a drink, and you've found yourself an all-night friend.

Package Delivery (Anyone) - Wes pedals for Samurai Messenger Service, bringing everyone their must-have discreet packages to sign off. You'd better believe he's damned chatty about it too.

Self Help (Anyone) - After his car accident a few years back, Wesley took what he'd call a self help tour. AA, Nar-Anon, and a few others had him as a sporadic sharer. He's never quite gotten sober for terribly long, but when the dark moods strike again, you'll usually find him at one meeting or another.

Stroke of the Brush (Arts) - For those picky about their art, there's a name that might have floated around here and there. When he turns out a piece, it tends to be great, but there's no consistency in style or medium. His explanations of pieces are informed, but then he just leaves once the sale is final.

Witchy Vibes (Sin-Eaters) - To those that have made their Bargain, talk about Lockwood inevitably leads to the discussion of ceremonies. His fascination with the magics of death has made him relentlessly pursue learning every ceremony he can. The man is happy enough to teach those when one needs them, though he asks that someone 'pay it forward' in service to the greater community.

Contacts

Uma helped give purpose to the nascent Sin-Eater when he was just coming into his own. Since then, he's followed in her footsteps as he delightful lackey-apprentice. If anyone were to ask Wes, he would say it was a mutually beneficial dynamic. Those who know Uma likely suspect she's getting something more out of this than what it seems.

Hector keeps Wesley steady when he's headed off the deep end. Which seems to happen entirely too often. It's hard to say that it's completely platonic, but their dynamic can sometimes come off like the really intense gym bros who are constantly hyping each other up. Whether or not Hector wants this dynamic is another story.

Ben has been there when Wesley was circling the drain. There seems to be little in common with the pair of them, but just like Snoop Dog and Martha Stewart, some friendships can't quite be explained in the traditional way. You just have to go with it and hope to understand it afterwards.

Tony is a newer connection that has made an impression on Wesley. One might hear the witch talking about Tony the same way they might talk about a local celebrity. The hype is real, but it might be half mythologized, but the rumors are still there. Whether or not Tony may want them.
