Headcanon dump I literally copied and pasted into one post from my multi under the cut
-Wesker enjoys spiders and snakes. They’re the only animals he would ever consider keeping as pets-- in fact, in Raccoon City he had a Brazilian black tarantula named Neith, who lived to the ripe old age of 19.
-He’s an excellent cook, and will absolutely prepare elaborate meals for himself for no reason other than because he can.
-He believes strongly in treating himself. One example of an indulgence he allows himself is a hot bath after a long day, with lavender oil and perhaps some bubbles. Relaxation is important to him.
-He does yoga, pilates, and tai chi. He also practices several forms of martial arts.
-Wesker will drink coffee, but prefers tea. Loose leaf only. And he is extremely exact in his preparation. It has to be perfect.
-Homeboy loves soup. Not canned. Like actual homemade soup. His favorites are lobster bisque and gazpacho.
-Wesker’s date of birth is December 1st, 1961
-He has no real memory of his birth parents. He was taken from them at the age of 1. Even that young, his genius was evident-- he was speaking full sentences and had the vocabulary of a five year old.
-His birth name is not Albert Wesker. His birth parents named him [REDACTED] Asher, but when he was brought into Project W he was given an entirely new identity. He has no memory of the child he used to be.
-As part of his upbringing, he was taught early on to deaden and hide his emotions. The cold, calculating façade he puts up is often just that-- a façade, intended to disguise what he’s actually thinking and feeling. Crying and whining was not tolerated amongst the Wesker children and would be punished.
-The environment the Wesker children were raised in was highly competitive. Victory and superiority were praised as core values. There were no attempts to foster camaraderie between the children-- even after the death of the others, Albert and Alex were at best distant. Albert became quite ruthless and hungry for power and victory as a result of this, and has never learned how to appropriately accept loss and failure.
-Play was also discouraged among the children of Project W-- they were not given toys, or dolls or bears to cuddle with. As a result, Wesker doesn’t know how to play most games. He learned a few card games during his time in the Army, but that’s really it. He’s also never been to a movie theater, amusement park, skating rink... You name it.
-The Progenitor virus severely limited Wesker’s ability to produce natural tears. He is incapable of crying and his eyes are generally quite dry, which causes him physical discomfort near-constantly. He relies heavily on eye drops and nearly always has some on his person, in his desk, beside his bed, etc.
-I'm giving Wesker a tattoo bc he deserves it. He's got a giant Ouroboros serpent on his shoulder, running about halfway down his upper arm.... Conveniently still able to be covered up by the rolled-up sleeves of his S.T.A.R.S. uniform.
