PLAYED BY :James Franco
THE CHARACTER
FULL NAME:Weston James Flatfield
NICK NAMES:Wes, Flats
PREFERRED NAME:Wes
AGE: 24
GENDER: Male
OCCUPATION: Worked at a financing firm
HOME REGION:Northeast
PREFERRED WEAPONS: He obtained an M4A1 while on the run for his life, he's made a decent use out of miscellaneous blades
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Wes has dark brown hair, that curls when long enough. He's always been easy to look at, never had problems with acne growing up, or anything too disfiguring. He has a pretty laid back demeanor. Over all he is just a 5'11 Caucasian male. Dresses in business casual because that is what his job requires. Not being too much into fashion it's also what he wears on off days. He's lean like the rest of his family. Fitness has always been something the Flatfields obsessed about, but he never had the dedication to toning muscles. Keeping healthy was all that really mattered.
PERSONALITY: Wes has always been laid back as mentioned before. Nothing really got him going, he did stoop low when facing enemies growing up. Never walked away from a fight, and certainly never claimed or could be described as being a “bigger man”. Some people who knew Wes back in the day may describe him as sleazy. An attractive young man who came from a very successful and wealthy family. One who drank at parties, was a jerk to everyone outside of his inner circle, and ran with a different girl almost every week. But the same one who would shake hands with his father's friends at the country club, and peck his mother on the cheek at social gatherings. He played these roles well. Could even be described as two different people.

HISTORY BEFORE: There are quite a few rumors about the first born Flatfield, born on December 2nd, meaning his conception date would have had to land somewhere between late February and early March. His parents had been trying to conceive a child for a few months now with little to no luck. On February 19th, his father left for business to Chicago and didn't return until March 17th. It was a hard time for the married couple to be apart, but when he returned his wife had good news. There are always rumors in this upper class society, everyone talks and whispers behind everyone's back. However, his father never questioned this miracle that was about to be bestowed upon them. Mrs. Flatfield never said a word. The boy came out with dark brown eyes and dark brown hair- just like his mother.
That was until the boy began to grow and his father realized how very different from his parents Wes really was. Both of his parents were respectful and dutiful people. Wes was a rowdy child, he was smart, and he used that to his advantage. He would manipulate his parents and pit them against one another at an age so early this seemed impossible. But it wasn't the little boy knew exactly what he was doing. His parents quickly learned that their son was crafty and not in a good way. They were always on their toes with him and treated him like an adult ever since he was a kid.
High school went well for him. Got good grades, with his natural ability to learn quickly, and memorize just about anything he put his mind to. He was popular in high school, but not amongst the people his mother would approve of, however he was their miracle and they often let him be. If he was happy, his mother was happy. He got into college and four years later graduated as a CPA, and had a Bachelors in accounting. He landed a job not too far from home, got himself a place and had been living off the fruits of his labor ever since.
He never planned on settling down and never met someone who would potentially change his mindset. He knew how unhappy his parents were trapped together by law and children and he never wanted to face that.
DURING APOCALYPSE: He was visiting his grandmother in the hospital. They were in Los Angeles. His sister and him stepped outside to get away from their overbearing mother, who was always on Hannah's case. So to stop the tension from rising he took Hannah outside, they were in the parking lot when they spotted someone coming towards them stumbling like they were dragging their leg. Hannah was scared of him. She didn't want to go see him, but Wes was intrigued. He began to walk towards the injured man. Maybe he could play the good guy and someone would see him help this injured person inside the appropriate wing, and some nurse would ask how long he was in town for. But the injured man turned to someone else in the parking lot, and reached out for them. Wes stopped and was ready to turn away back to his leaning position on the lamp post. But that was when the screams began to kick in, and Wes turned around, to see, to his shock that this man was biting the woman.
There wasn't a whole lot that made Wes lose his cool, but what we learned from this encounter was that Cannibalism freaked him out. He grabbed his sister and retreated, he would never admit that this is what he had done, he may say he grabbed his kid sister out of the situation before she could see the horrors that image brought, but it was a full on run with a white flag. Once inside the hospital he alerted security. They looked at him like he was crazy, but Wes has a very professional look to him, all he owns is business casual, so that's the was he dressed. When people are dressed up no matter how crazy they're talking they're still credible. So while they watched the mid day shift security go out to inspect Hannah urged they go back to their family and touch base. When they got there, they discovered their mother was dead. People were panicking, and Wes grabbed Hannah and they got out of there. He'd been a closet fan of those cheap B Zombie movies, he knew how fast an infection spread. He thought himself as crazy for even thinking this was a possibility but he rather be safe than sorry. They escaped out the east wing doors, pushing past people rushing into the hospital. Why didn't they notice the people rushing out of it? He held his sister tight as the emerged, and ran into military evacuations a little later. He got separated from Hannah in the crowds. He went hoarse shouting for her. But his efforts were futile.
He spent the last three weeks tearing apart that city in efforts to find his sister. She couldn't be dead. She just couldn't. He's still looking for her. But has spread out his search, she could be any where now.
ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE:As the prowler rose in an ever so unwieldy fashion he swung his limp left arm across his front as he raised his right towards Benji. Benji could only go as far as swinging the now half broken guitar upwards before it was blocked by the attackers knee. The two crashed back into the living room. Benji had once before been in a "fight" before his 4th grade teacher broke up it up. Now more than ever, Benji understood why his father always kept a small arsenal in their basement growing up. As he scrambled deeper into his living room, Benji attempted to force the assailant's head backwards by shoving a forearm against his throat. To his surprise, the assailant was jawing after his wrist. After an adrenaline-fueled burst of strength Benji was able to twist his hip momentarily and crash the attacker on his own side. Scrambling, Benji lounged for his coffee where a half empty bottle of vodka lay. In one swift motion he was able to shatter it over its head, momentarily rending him stupid. The brief moment of achievement was cut short when Bernie, his elderly neighbor, walked through his front door and shot his attacker in the side of the head with what looked to be an antique two barrel shotgun. The gun shot left Benji half deaf and staggering backwards. He now saw Bernie mouthing him some words, but all he could hear was a steady but overwhelming ring in his ears. Bernie, now realizing he was going to lose his voice before Benji reacted, took two steps toward Benji, grabbed him by the collar and drug him out the door.
PLANS: Look for Hannah and try to find a safe place to live at.
