Biography

Wesley Kemp was seven when things began to turn strange. He was always an intuitive boy, with a vast imagination, and brain like a sponge, but this eerie ability to know how things worked and what had happened was mostly focused on animals and his toys before then. When his abilities began to strengthen, his popularity amongst his school’s population (both teacher and student body alike) plummeted to an all-time low.

After a set of beatings, the gifted boy realised that people didn’t like it when other’s knew what they were up to, and what they had done, and began keeping things to himself. He kept everything to himself, such as the time, at the age of fourteen, when he figured out his parents were unhappily married; or seven months later, he figured out his father was cheating on his mother; and three months later when he saw the moment his mother realised what her husband was up to. Wes knew from the very moment he discovered their unhappiness, which would all end in divorce– a bitter and ugly divorce. He was right in the end, and he hated it.

By the time he graduated high school, he hated people. Absolutely hated them. Greta Jefferson, the sweet little old lady who always volunteered at the animal shelter on weekends? Well that old bitch was poisoning stray animals in her own neighborhood. Devin Daniels, a disabled Iraq war veteran, turned out to not to be war veteran at all, in fact he’s not even disabled. Josie Gallagher, a champion for domestic abuse victims, nearly killed her husband for looking at a female TV character with as she put it ‘those bedroom eyes’. Yes, Wes hated people. They were all dicks, even the ‘nice’ ones.

So, when it came to college, he decided to go into a major with as little human interaction as possible: software engineering. It was a nightmare, a terrible, terrible nightmare, all because his powers decided to evolve to full visualizations. Overwhelmed, Wes began neglecting his classes and started tracking down missing pets for a small fee. His services grew in popularity, and Wes was taking up enough cases to afford drop out of school, and live in a cheap apartment in shittiest side of town.

Wesley Kemp, Pet Detective. That’s what he’s been for fifteen years now. It doesn’t pay well, but his interactions with people is minimal, and he also gets to save animals from the all the Greta Jeffersons in the world, and send a few sickos to the slammer before they can hurt anyone or anything else. It’s not bad, and he’s almost content with his life.

Personality

Wesley is a quiet, brooding man. He typically keeps to himself out of fear of rejection, as many find his ability to analyze and deduce the motives and actions of those around him to be unnerving. Unfortunately, his ability doesn’t often work with anything linked to himself, so he’s often oblivious to matters concerning himself.

Biography

        Having been born to the Governor of Arkansas, and a wealthy southern socialite, the south was all Jack ever knew. His parents weren’t around much, often attending some political or social event, and when he did see them all they could ever talk about was politics. Little Jack was starving for his parents attention, going to great feats to gain the smallest of compliments. But no matter his achievements, Mr. and Mrs. Roth never lingered long enough for the boy. Then, as middle school came around, young Jack finally gave up on them, seeking out the attention he so needed from other places.

        In 7th grade, Jack met James, a tall raven haired boy whose family recently moved into town from Oregon. There was a dangerous air about the boy, who frankly seemed to not give a damn about anyone or anything, purposefully defying teachers and staff’s requests. There was something about him that made Jack want to befriend him, sitting with the boy when he could and volunteering to be in partner in class the moment their teacher announced a group assignment.

        The two became close, and soon Jack too was finding himself in situations that warranted him detentions, suspensions, and the occasional arrest. The other boy opened his mind to an entirely new world filled. They experimented in drugs together, explored their sexuality together, and even tattoo each other. Jack was happy, he’d never been this close to someone else in his life before, and he honestly couldn’t imagine life without James. His parents unfortunately could.

        The conservative, god fearing couple greatly disapproved of the other boy, and his influence over their son. They tried a restraining order, sending their son to rehab, prayer sessions, changed schools, and they even sent him to a psychiatrist, but the two always found a way to see one another. At the end of his wits, Governor Roth couldn’t have his opponents finding out about his son’s far from conservative views and behaviors, so he sent his only son to a faraway boarding school, hoping that the distance and new environment would straighten his son out.

        But the Governor underestimated James and his loyalty to his son. The cunning, manipulative teen had discovered where Jack had been shipped off to, and even convinced his own parents to send him there as well. There the two brew up a storm of trouble, blazing through roommate after roommate, hoping the administration would finally give up and allow the boys to share a room together. After months of chasing off countless other students, Jack and James were finally roomed together, and remained that way for a semester, before one of their little pranks had them forced apart once again.

Additional Information

Jack’s birthday is June 12th.

He has a variety of tattoos, most of which have been done by James.

He also has a few lip, nose, tongue, and ear piercings.

James and Jack are the best of friends; though they sexually experimented a lot with one another early on, their relationship now is borderline familial, and strictly platonic.

Jack loves cartoons and musicals, especially Disney movies.

Jack is almost always high.

He knew what she had meant by her question-- why on Earth was he doing THIS in HER home but if there was anything Robert loved more than a good murder, it was driving Claudia up a wall. The ex-SEAL’s gaze dropped to the knife in his sister’s hand a single brow rising in curiosity as he reached for it. “Why, Claudia is this for me? You can be so cute sometimes.” While his left hand had reached for the knife (a distraction Claudia would hopefully fall for), the other had gone straight for the murderess’ cheek, giving it a good hard pinch. “I was only going to scare the kid but-- well-- he has seen your face. Complicates everything.”
