Wesley Kastel - Peacekeeper

Name: Wesley Kastel
Age: 22
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 2
Appearance:

Wesley's skin is a lighter shade of brown. In technical terms, it could be referred to as chocolate. But not all of him is this colour. The bottoms of his feet and the palms of his hands are even lighter. Almost a shade of ochre. His skin is smooth except for the various scars on his arms and legs. The only other part of his body lacking the smooth texture is his back. It remains rough and scarred from the years when he was whipped.

He doesn't exactly tower over people like a lot of men do. While he is taller than a majority of the population, he still isn't even six feet. At 5 feet 10 1/2 inches, he doesn't look very intimidating, unless you take a look at the rest of him. Muscle, and a lot of it. Wesley had many years to tone his body. While he doesn't look like a body builder, he doesn't need to either. You can feel his strength when he grabs you. You can see it when he wears his uniform. Sure, there arm many people even bigger than him, but there are a lot of people smaller too.

He always wears a silver chain around his neck with a ring on it. The necklace belonged to his father, the ring beloved to his mother. It is really the only memory he has of them. They are probably the two things most precious to him, and a constant reminder. What may be an even bigger reminder, is that he holds those two items and nothing from Sarking. His clothing normally consists of the detention center uniform since he spends most of his time there. If he isn't wearing the uniform, he is normally in a tank top and jeans.

His charcoal hair is cut extremely short. It could almost be considered a buzz cut if he wasn't able to actually run a comb through it. He never really lets his hair grow out. Sarking always liked it short anyways. His white pupils are filled with dark brown orbs. They have quite a lot of depth to them, and sometimes in different lighting, their darkness makes them look black.

Wesley's hands and feet and are harder than he would have liked them to be, though it is benefical at times. This comes from all his walking oustide and using weapons. A very noticably trait of his is how clean his hands always are. The one thing Wesley cannot stand is dirty hands and fingernails. Don't get me wrong, he is fine with getting them dirty, but they always need to be cleaned immediately after.

Personality:

There is difference between being a violent person and being someone with anger management problems. Wesley is the first. He isn't an angry person, though he harbors a lot of it. First off, it's hard to upset him in the first place. He is someone who almost always has control of his temper. He may yell, he made slam his fists, but in a moments notice, he can easily return to his calm dimenor. If anything, it's probably his strongest weapon against anything. More than his body, more than his weapons. He is able to keep himself in control.

Violence is like first nature to him. He hits things, he throws things and he does a various number of other things. This may be the reason he is thrown in to interrogate the prisoners so much. If his build is threatening enough, his violent nature will be. he is like this perhaps because he surpresses all his emotions, such as why he can control everything else so easily. he supresses his emotions and overtime, it just further fuels his hate for the capitol. For the people he works for.

Years of practice have made him a good actor and a man good with words. With lying. With undercover things. From the outside, he is almost an ideal peacekeeper. From the other side, he is almost the ideal rebel. If ever offered an opportunity, he would not turn it down. His sole wish in life is to end the Capitol's reign. If it means letting them use him as a tool for awhile and train him, let it be. He'll be able to know the Capitol from the inside out. It didn't matter who was on what side right now, but there was only one person her trusted. Himself.

Night terrors. Hallucinations. The only thing that kept them away was the Capitol's medicine. Perhaps these were his biggest weaknesses. The Capitol gave him medicine, but he never took the entire dose. So many years like this were making him partially insane. Reality was beginning to blur with what he saw. Sarking. His father. His mother. Peacekeepers. Blood. Sometimes he didn't take his medicine just so he could have the chance of meeting the ones he had loved once more. In the end he ended up in pain, causing it more to himself. He could feel his sanity slipping away, but chose to ignore it.

Worse than knowing that he only has a slight grip on his sanity, is knowing that he hides in fear. An actor he may be, but a coward as well. He is violent and thinks nothing more of the Capitol's defeat. He dreams of the day he can assist in bringing it down himself, but lacks the courage to do so. Wesley is a behind the scenes man and never on the battlefeild himself unless sent unwillingly. His biggest fear is being caught and captured by the Capitol himself. His biggest fear is having to go through all the things he does to prisoners on a daily basis. maybe he does it all out of fear of switching places. Maybe he does it to advance himself. He still has a hard time figuring out which emotion is real. And which isn't.

History:

Wesley never had the privilege of living lavishly in the Capitol. His mother and father were normal residents of District 2. There was nothing extremely special about them. His mother was a seamstress and made clothes for several of the stores in District 2. She was well known for her work, though she didn't make much from doing it. His father was a weapon manufacturer. District 2 is known to the other districts as having the nation's stone quarries, but District 2 was more than just that.

His father specialised in the guns for peacekeepers. Many of Panem's peacekeepers also came from his district, so it wasn't an unusual job. Wesley was born to them in October. His family wasn't very wealthy but managed to support him. He used to stay home an work with his mother since he was not old enough to attend school. As an only child, they loved and adored him. When he was six, he no longer had to play by myself. His baby sister, Mary was born in July. She was premature and diagnosed with a disease called cerebral palsy when she was two and he was just eight. Wesley didn't known what that was, but he knew she was different then the other children her age.

At four, she passed away one night after being terribly sick for a month. It left Wesley once again as the only children. His father was widely upset and became a bit abusive. His mother wept all the time. Ten year old Wesley was unsure how to take the news about the death of his beloved little sister. He dealt with it by taking it out on other children, just as he watched his father take it out on him and his mother. Eventually, the family recovered. His mother resumed her needlework along with the news of a new pregnancy. His father still seemed to become angry sometimes.

Wesley didn't do to well in school. Everyone seemed to be scared of him. He had begun to develop some anger management problems and was failing his classes. His mother went into the delivery one night and never came out. Welsey's father took the news of the death of his wife and stillborn very badly. He hit Wesley until he forced to stumble to the hospital. For some reason after, his father kept talking about how the Capitol was punishing him. Wesley didn't understand.

The death of his mother was something he wasn't ready to handle. He stopped going to school, not that his father cared. He started reading everything he could get his hands on. He walked around the district until he knew it all by heart. The boy would sneak into the factories and watch the weapons being made. He would find his way into the mines and learn the way of the district. There was an arena that the peacekeepers trained out and sometimes children who were older and wanted to compete in the games. He watched them and practiced at home.

When he turned sixteen, he realised he might have a chance of making it out of the Hunger Games. He had become a weapon himself. He was well built and strong. Years of reading had made him intelligent. Well he didn't know everything he was supposed to, he could read and speak well and from that he learned other things. He wasn't well at math, however. He was no longer hit by his father. That had stopped two years ago when he father had learned that Welsey now had the courage to hit back. Wesley practiced his new skills on animals he found wandering the district. Most children might consider it an evil act, but he was raised with thinking abuse was okay. He was becoming an evil boy. The act was only reasonable.

A year later, his father disappeared. Wesley was in his room one night when there was a great noise. He could here his front door being knocked down. As quickly as he could, he hid underneath his bed. There was much shouting and a gun shot. He finally came out from under the bed three hours later when all was silent. Venturing to his father's room is one of the most vivid memories he has. There had been no one there. It looked a mess. Someone had been in it and searching for something. There was blood on the sheets and floor. It let a trail all the way to the front door which was broken down. For the first time in a long period, Welsey wept. He wept for everything that had ever happened. And then he didn't again.

Six months later, they came looking for him. People who worked for the Capitol. He finally found out what happened. His father had been conspiring against the capitol and was convicted of treason. There had been a small rebel group that he had been manufacturing weapons for. the group had been caught, along with his father. They never said what happened to him, only that Wesley needed to pay his father's debt. Having no money and no job, it was impossible. That night he was taken away and recruited as a peacekeeper.

First he was sent to District 6. He met a man there named Sarking who was a little older than himself. He had come from the Capitol. His story had been sad. The elder boy's father had sold him to the capitol for peacekeeper duty in order for more money to get out of debt. The boy was more different than anything he had ever met. Wesley soon went for the boy more than he ever wished to, and their friendship became something else. Sarking was discharged only a few weeks after and sent away to the capitol. Wesley himself was shipped to District 4.

He cursed the capitol for all they had done. Taken his parents, his freedom, and Sarking. Wesley took his anger out with violence once more. He was moved from District 4 back to District 2 and sent to work in the Capitol's detention center. Wesley was rough and violent with it's residents but he was constantly in charge of interrogations from it. He never however, had access to the rooms. Welsey never had the guts to search them anyways. And still lacks them. He may never know if Sarking or his father reside in one of them. But for now, he is content taking his anger out on victim's of the Capitol's detention center. Anything that involves violence is okay with him.
