(Childhood illness cw, cancer cw, death cw)
Wesley was diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma at the age of 11 after weeks of increasingly upsetting medical emergencies. Most of his prominent childhood memories are of being in the hospital and of watching his parents trying to keep themselves together. Surgery and subsequent radiation therapy pulled off a miracle, but Wesley still lived in a near constant state of anxiety over the possibility of recurrence. He also struggled to adjust socially after so much time spent in sterile, controlled environments.
Since he spent his formative years unsure of if he’d even make it to adulthood, Wesley was lost when it came time for college. He enrolled at PSU simply because that was his family’s expectation, finally settling on a museum studies major after taking an intro-level class on a whim. As someone who didn’t think he’d have a future, there was a comfort when it came to preserving the past. He got his bachelor’s, then his master’s, then worked his way into the role of assistant archivist for the LA Museum of Natural History.
On the surface, between his job and love of history, Wesley is a giant nerd. But before he’s a giant nerd, Wesley is someone who has spent almost three decades feeling like he’s alive on borrowed time. He has problems letting people get too close in case his body decides to betray him again. Additionally, flirting with the grim reaper at a young age has made him stupidly reckless to remind him that he’s still on this plane of existence. He has a bad habit of picking fights he knows he can’t win, be that verbal or physical. He’s quick to involve himself in things he has no business being in. It’s not that he’s some sort of martyr. Death’ll have to try harder if it wants him so badly.
Big Three: Libra sun, Gemini moon, Aries rising.
