But because of his limited interactions with people, he has a bit of a tendency of missing social cues which doesn't help in this case. Also he tries to be quite chivalrous tries to be as helpful as he can be in any situation. But there are times that he can be a bit hard on himself. These feelings eventually lead to feeling guilty and makes him want to do more things to feel as if it will make up for it. And then there is a lurking rage which is a feeling that he fears the most as it reminds him of the beast within him. [/indent] [b][color=7ea7d8]Backstory:[/color][/b] [indent] Wesley childhood was as the second born of the Gusto noble family in Suddene. Both parents were native Suddenese, his father was born from nobility while his mother was born as a commoner. Like most Suddenese, his father highly prized and sought to strengthen his bloodline, so with news of a powerful magic user woman that worked as a mercenary, he was quick to the opportunity to propose and marry here into his family. His sister, Waverly, was first born and as she grew, was quick to show her mother powerful magical bloodline. But once Wesley was born and arrived at the age that Waverly displayed the bloodline, his magical prowess were dismal in comparison. His mother from her own experience, knew adrenaline inducing situations can heighten the trait, this was already shown to be the same with Waverly, but became more intensive for Wesley. Although harsh, he tried to endure these torturous training as hope that one day he would meet his parents expectations. But it would eventually come to a point that both his parents abused him enough that there was an eventual break point. But the only thing that Wesley can remember that day was Waverly's scream, an axe in front of him, and the lifeless severed bodies of their parents. After that event, his memory of each day became blurred and only bits of them can be remembered. Near the end of this, he would find himself on a ship heading to the Kingdom of Reynes with the a woman. Upon fully regaining his senses, the woman introduced herself as his aunt, Maribel, his mother's sister. It was during this time on the ship that she would slowly explain his parents death, that being he was indeed the who killed them. Guilt would overcome Wesley as before he would try to deny what he saw, but just hearing the fact of the matter that he himself is to blame crushed him. Fallen to his knees and staring down to his trembling hands, Maribel wrapped her hands around his. She said that although he experienced such a traumatizing childhood with his parents, she hopes she can show that his hands can be more than just violence. Upon arriving on the shores of the Kingdom of Reynes, Maribel began her teachings with Wesley. Many years would pass and Wes saw Maribel as an amazing spiritual woman. Firstly, she taught to practice control his lurking rage through mediated breaths exercises, especially after occasions of unsavory folks trying to hassle or attack them. Then she told him of the close relationship with nature that every living in this world. Nature provides us of many helpful resources and in turn, we eventually give back to nature in various ways, although it may be at varying amounts. And lastly, her final lessen was the use of white magic by focusing and harnessing the flow of energy around ones self, that energy can then take or give energy depending on how the user state of mind. Eventually into his young adulthood, Maribel believed Wes was ready, deciding to tell him that now would be the best time for him to explore the world. For most of their years together, they usually lived within the forest near the settlement of Galehaut and tried to keep a simple life. So with the murmurs of war escalating, Maribel truly believed that now would be the perfect time to venture off into the world of Alba with her teachings guiding him.
