Albert Wesker | Resident Evil | Not Reserved

[tobeagod]

Name: Will
Contact Info: eidetikerwill@gmail.com for email and AIM. notthedoctor on plurk.
Other Characters Played: None
Preferred Apartment: None. Chances of him actually staying there are slim. He's not the sort to hang about with the rest of humanity.

Character Name: Albert Wesker

Canon: Resident Evil (video games, not movies)

Canon Point: Post death in Resident Evil 5

Background/History: Albert Wesker

Personality: One could say that Wesker is a sociopath and by most definitions, he is. However, he is not insane. Should a telepath or other mind reader get into his head, his thoughts are ordered and intelligent. Wesker can and does kill, although it is not a driven homocidal urge as is evidenced when he sets Alexia on Chris instead of demanding the right to kill the man himself despite how much he says he hates Chris. In the end, Wesker is the worst sort of evil to come up again: a thinking and logical man that can wait when necessary for events to go in his favour.

Given his mutation, Wesker is prone to violence when pushed, all too willing to shoot or maim a person to gain his own ends. Very little scares Wesker. It's difficult to intimidate a man who supposedly can't die. This isn't to say that Wesker won't help people, but he will only do so for his own reasons or gains. He's not the sort to do good deeds out of some version of kindness of the heart. It simply isn't in him. Wesker will never be a 'good guy'. He tends to do what benefits him and his own goals best and always will. He can and does use people as the opportunity presents itself. Have seen his plans fail in RE5, he's looking for a new way to become a god in this world of too lacking and weak humans.

The only thing that can defeat power, is more power.
-Albert Wesker, Umbrella Chronicles

A great deal of Wesker's personality is about control and power. He wants it, needs it, will have it. From the time just after he was born, Wesker was in the grip of someone else's manipulations via Project W/The Wesker Project/the Wesker Children.

Oswell Spencer had hundreds of children kidnapped from genius parents, bringing them to his facilities to raise as he saw fit. The idea behind this was that Spencer felt the world was destined to downfall either by humanity's actions or being given some help in that direction. The idea was that using viruses, he could create that master race, but he needed the best subjects to begin with. Thus the children. All were given the last name of Wesker (the name of the project head) and set in their new lives. Albert stood out among the rest and survived the injection of the prototype virus that killed most of the other Wesker children. Only one other besides him has survived, Alex Wesker, although his/her status is unknown with RE6.

Some might have found a dark amusement that Albert Wesker was number 13 in the Wesker Project.

In this setting, Wesker formed the opinion that being the best meant surviving. While canon doesn't state that any of the Wesker children knew the others were dying or dead, it's in the realm of believability that he knew something of it. If he was the smartest, the best at everything, then he would live. The other children and people in general had to be reduced to nothing more than weak creatures that deserved to die in his mind to deal with it all.


Natural selection leaves the survivors stronger and better! Humans have escaped this winnowing for far too long!
-Albert Wesker, Resident Evil 5

These attitudes only got worse as he lived all the Wesker children as well as the desire to be out from under another's control. From a very early age, Wesker (along with William Birkin) were put in charge of those much more experienced than he was. That contributed to his belief that he deserved to be better than them and his growing arrogance. Being wary of his surroundings and the shifts of power Wesker stepped out of the research side of things and went into security/intelligence matters.

Starting up STARS in the Raccoon City Police Department showed further estrangement from his fellow human beings. For two years, Wesker trained and worked on a daily basis with his STARS Alpha and Bravo teams, but when things went bad at Arklay, he sent his Bravo team to handle it without a flinch. He knew ahead of time that none of them were likely to survive or even understand what they were up against. He would instead use their deaths as combat data to further enhance the abilities of Umbrella's BOWs. Then he led Alpha team himself up there for them to die. This shows more than anything his utter detachment. He uses one of his own people (Barry) as a traitor by threatening his family. Even his pointman, Chris Redfield, is thrown in the fire of his ambition without a look back. It was better to be the person moving the pawns about (shown in his ruthless treatment of Birkin and the STARS teams) instead of the pawn.

Like any good predator, Wesker can sense when it's best to make a run for it and does with Arklay's falling. In Umbrella Chronicles, he states that he did die back in RE:1 and it was terrifying, another building block in his future god-complex and a callback to having to be the best to survive. His defeating of one of Sergei's Ivans to get away could be considered a full out rebellion. Sergei is the establishment, the most trusted. When Wesker and Sergei meet once more in Umbrella Chronicles, we get our first view of how fast Wesker is becoming more BOW than man. In the first battle, Wesker barely defeats the Ivan. In the second one, Wesker dispatches two Ivans and Sergei himself. Sergei's death is the next to the final break over what Wesker was to become for Umbrella and refused to.


Sure I'm not human anymore, but just look at the power I've gained!
-Albert Wesker, Code: Veronica

RE Code: Veronica illustrates the point where Wesker had not only mentally but physically divorced himself from humanity. It also shows that he's gathering power and information, acting against Umbrella's interests. If anything, his arrogance and pride in himself has grown, complimenting Chris even as he's trying to destroy him by saying that he's proud of him but that was because Chris is one of his own men. There's no wanting in Wesker for his lost humanity, only that need to be more and the best. Even his speech patterns change to show this. In RE:1, there's moments where he's flat out insulting. RE:CV shows a change in that to a more sophisticated turn of phrase with wit more than calling someone a moron or idiot as he does in RE:1. Wesker is one of the few characters that never curses in the whole of the RE series.

RE Code: Vernoica also shows that Wesker doesn't care who is enemy is. Man or woman, combatant or non-combatant. It doesn't matter. There is no shame in him for hitting a woman as he does Claire Redfield in this game or in RE5 when he takes on Jill and later uses her as his own weapon. Again, there's that further stepping away from what would be considered 'right' for a man to be, do or act. Claire Redfield is a clear civilian without training in RE:CV, but he shows her no more mercy than he did Jill in RE:1 or in RE:5. They're all just 'people' to him that exist to further him and his aims or be stepped on. Excella is a later example of the end result of this disconnect manifesting when Wesker easily casts her aside to be killed and fulfill his purpose.

The following games leading up to RE5 show a Wesker that's becoming more and more powerful but further away from the man he could have been. How much of this is his upbringing and experiences and how much of this is the virus' work is anyone's guess. Canon states that the prototype virus of the Progenitor Virus affects muscle tissue and lower organs, not the mind, but an infected subject also is no longer human. The previous games have shown that Wesker is as intelligent and underhanded as ever, but the god-complex comes about full blown as RE5 is ushered in.


Has it never occurred to you that this planet is overpopulated? Only a handful of humans truly matter. Everyone else is just so much chaff. So now I have to separate this chaff from the wheat. And with Uroboros I can finally accomplish this.
-Albert Wesker, Resident Evil 5


The killing of Oswell Spencer calls back to a good many of the moral tales of humanity stepping beyonds its bounds and being crushed by its own creation either directly or indirectly such as in 'Frankenstein' or 'Blade Runner' although the monster and Roy Batty didn't want to be gods. Upon killing Spencer, Wesker expresses this desire to be a god. Being 'one of a kind' so to speak and his narcissism, the next step into a god complex wasn't completely unforeseen, only unfortunate. Wesker states at one point in RE5 that he doesn't want to be a king but a god because kings bow down to gods. This is further evidence of that long ago learned lesson that only the best survive.

It's a sad irony that while Wesker killed his creator, he in turn is killed by Chris Redfield who could be called Wesker's own creation.

There is the temptation to look at Wesker as a character that was doomed from the start, but that isn't how he would view it. He nearly did make it to being a god, stopped just short of the finish line by his own man. He lived his life by his wants and will, not someone else's no matter who or what was trying to control him. Even the virus within him couldn't bring him down until he was overloaded with PG67A/W. But Wesker is evil, make no mistake about that. His view is sociopathic in that he knows right and wrong but ignores it because he considers himself above it.

What makes Wesker strong also makes him weak. He has the typical inability to understand the intricacies of why humans do the good things they do. Were someone to ask him (and get an honest answer) how he felt about not having birthdays or all his 'siblings' dying, the best they would get is a puzzled look and some stereotypical answer on how he's above all that. He knows that Chris will come to rescue Claire, but he would never be able to understand the full 'why' on it. The same is true with Excella. He knew on the surface why she was helping him, but his belief is that she should have known what the endgame would be. There will (most likely) never be a moment where he forms a bond to another human being such as an ally the way a normal person can. That said, knowing he can't doesn't keep him up at night. He feels that's not a weakness.

He relies heavily on his virus given abilities. However, should a floor be slicked, it would put his speed at nil since he'd slide right across it. He'd rather not look like Wile E Coyote slamming into the opposite wall and leaving a huge Wesker-shaped dent. The virus in him requires precise infusions of PG67A/W. As RE:5 demonstrates, too much is like a poison in his system and makes that too calm exterior to crack and the monster show through. While he does like ego-patting as much as the next megalomaniac, it's not going to endear a person to him although he usually has underling positions open. Always need someone to throw in front of the bullets.

Wesker claims he has no humanity, stated in just those words in his report and verbally to Chris. He is not human. Should he be tested by someone or by some means, the T-virus has rewritten his DNA to the point that they are only markers that could be called 'human'. He is, in effect, an entirely new species. Quite often he is called a Tyrant when he truly is not. He is a B.O.W. (Bio-Organic Weapon), but not a Tyrant. The best way to put it would be Tyrant-class. This lack of humanity does not mean that he doesn't feel emotion. He does. He merely controls it very well and often comes off as cold and uncaring. Most often that emotion that he allows out is anger that is often directed at Chris Redfield. One could say that Chris and Wesker are alike, one the light reflection in a mirror and Wesker the flipside of that glass.

When it comes to network posts, Wesker will be a frequent commenter. He likes to prod at people and see how they react.

Abilities/Powers:
Speed/Reflexes - Wesker is damned fast, quick enough to be a blur to human eyes or appear to vanish and reappear. It makes shooting him when he's aware of said attempt or punching him near impossible.

Eyes- They see more and better than human eyes which couldn't rightly track everything around him or what he's doing. He'd end up running into walls. His mutated eyes slow down what he sees and allows him to track what's going on as well as react to it, seeing roughly a hundred frames per second versus what humans do. In his eyesight, think like the Matrix slowed down scenes. He can see the bullet as it passes him and react. There is also a luminescent property to them, glowing in the darkness which is why he wears his sunglasses at all times. While this all sounds great and good, he's vunerable to sudden bright lights. Something like a flash grenade or the like would blind him for a few seconds longer than it would others.

Damage/strength - Chris Redfield drops a large amount of heavy pipes on Wesker in RE:CV and Wesker gets up after a few minutes although he staggers a bit and is stunned momentarily. There isn't much of a mark on him though. What stops or stuns a human isn't going to do so to Wesker. At another point, Chris smashes a pipe against Wesker's arm which dents the pipe. He's not easy to just punch and knock down. He'll probably punch back and do more damage. Wesker is very strong and capable of doing some real damage. He lifts a massive Chris Redfield up one handed and slams him down. At another point, he smacks Jill and sends her flying the length of the room. Wesker can jump upwards of a story at a time.

Regeneration - Wesker can and does regenerate. He gets burned badly in Code Veronica, and is fine a few minutes later. He gets shot up close with a double barrelled shotgun and is perfectly fine to keep going. It takes being dropped into a volcano and two RPG missiles fired at close range to kill him. Seriously. It's ridiculous. He was still alive waist deep in lava.

Infected – Wesker is infected with a blood-borne virus that will be passed along to anything that bites or consumes part of him. Eating him will pass it along. This will result in the eater dying and becoming a standard zombie (since making them various classes is difficult to those unaware of RE canon).

While not a true ability, Wesker is an expert in hand to hand combat and a crack shot with small firearms. It's never shown in canon whether or not he's any good with rifles or larger weapons.

Items/Weapons:
1. Samurai Edge handgun (one of a kind, modified Beretta 92FS)
2. Ammunition
3. Supply of PG67A/W (the serum that keeps him from losing control of the virus in his body). He'll need to find the means in Haven to make more or another supply of it when this one runs out.

Re: Albert Wesker | Resident Evil | Not Reserved

Sample Entry:
[There's a moment of silence following the beginning of an audio broadcast. One must savour these moments to fully appreciate them later. There's some ego in there that he might be causing at least one person to break into a stream of cursing.]

In Haven, we are all safe together. What an interesting concept.

[A low and short noise that is almost derisive laughter.]

Here we all are, together. I would ask who is here with me, but that would ruin the joy of discovering for myself.

[Or he could have been being a creeper on the network and found out some for himself before alerting everyone else to his presence. Which is very likely.]

I was pleased to note that the damage done to my clothing has been repaired. Volcano damage can be hard to simply have fixed by a local tailor.


Sample Entry Two:

Wesker didn't bother to pay much notice to those he suspected were following him. Given the presence of those who had recognised his voice and name, a few would-be heroes coming out of the woodwork was to be expected. Had they not, he would have been disappointed. Someone had to play protector to the masses when the bad things started coming out of the dark.

Waking up in this 'Haven' place hadn't been too much of a shock considering his last memory had been of dying. Really now, that had been a case of overkill if ever there had been one, but there was pride to be found in those lengths being necessary to ensure his death. He looked forward to paying that back to Chris or Miss Alomar should they ever find their way to this place.

From his perch on the cornre of the building, he watched one of his followers dart from one shadow to another. He supposed they thought they were being sneaky. Disappointing, but when wasn't humanity? Ignoring them for now, his eyes found the sweets shop further down the street. Behind the shield of his dark glasses, an inhuman glow lit and slowly faded. Now there was a mystery worth considering while the ants scurried about below and told themselves they were doing 'good'. What was behind those beams? A better question might have been 'who'.

"I have time to find out if nothing else," Wesker said, spoken more for himself than those below.

A distant gunshot got him up and moving, ignoring the puff of shattered cement off to his side and the whine of a ricochet.

The clothes listed are simply the ones she is actually wearing/has on her back at the point of being pulled - would she still arrive without them?

Also, if there are pressed flowers and actual photographs in her book of shadows, would they remain intact despite the writing disappearing?

Name: AnNika
Contact Info: breadmantic

Other Characters Played: Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad; I'm probably dropping clive if caliborn is accepted

Character Name: Caliborn (undyingUmbrage)
Canon: Homestuck
Canon Point: [S] Caliborn: Enter
Background/History: http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Caliborn

[skuliborn]

Personality:
Unlike his loveable sister, Caliborn is like standing next to a cactus that can shoot its needles at 100mph and impale a man, but there’s something about his green exterior that makes you think “is he really that bad?” Oh hell yeah he’s that bad!! The immutable grimace, the blood red eyes, Caliborn even sounds like the perfect name for a bad guy; there is no denying that we are dealing with a character not to be taken lightly, especially considering he grows up to be the main antagonist. Oh yeah; I went there. Lord English is in the house. Or will be, once Caliborn grows up.

But getting back to Caliborn, we’ll get right down to the basics. Caliborn is a rude, stubborn, angry little guy who really just wants to gun down the first sorry sap he lays eyes on. There is no thread of kindness in his body, and anything that might SEEM endearing isn’t. He hates you, really hates you, or doesn’t hate you nearly as much as all the other bottom feeders out there. Caliborn spends a lot of his talking time throwing around vulgar language and insulting various things and people. In canon, Caliborn leaves awful messages for his sister, giving her his take on the deaths of the Alpha kids. A lot of what he says isn’t nice to ANYONE. He compares Calliope to Jane, saying that they have something in common: they’re both ugly and dumb. Getting Calliope’s goat is probably his favourite past time.

Aside from that, Caliborn doesn’t really “experience” a full array of emotions; in fact, upon seeing Jake crying, he honestly thinks that Jake is “weirdly urinating through his eye holes.” He doesn’t express joy, and considers the “human emotion of friendship” to be as pathetic a quality to have. When Dirk referred to him as Calliope’s “brother,” Caliborn was instantly worked up, dismissing it. His explanation was that he didn’t want to be placed into a familial relationship with Calliope, especially when he legitimately gives no shits about her and wants her dead. He does, however, experience a LOT of anger, and is completely, perfectly okay with expressing his anger in verbal and physical violence. Heck, he even has a regular game with Dirk to stop in and remind him that: ‘Hey, just so you know, I’m going to kill you one day.’ Caliborn is one hell of a charmer, wouldn’t you say?!?!

Caliborn is extremely unreceptive to new concepts and ideas. For one, Caliborn states right out during his conversation with Hussie that he is a slow learner. There’s also his inability to accept other cultures as equal to his own. Things that aren’t LIKE him are stupid and should be obliterated. When approaching the humans, he assumes that they are a lesser creature and consequently dumber. “Human fuck that shit!” he says, “not even alien fuck that shit! So you can understand better!” He also chastises human curiosity. Humans aren’t the only culture he hates; troll culture is pretty stupid too. It could be an aggressive resistance to Calliope’s fascination with cultures outside the cherubs’, but however you dice it, he really doesn’t take well to foreign concepts. HOWEVER, he will accept it “in quotes”. Sort of his aggressive attack against these concepts, there are times later on in which he’ll refer to Calliope, in quotes, “Sis”.

Like many Homestuck characters, Caliborn has a specific way of typing. A “quirk” if you please. Now, in canon we would see it as uu: LOuD. ANGRY. AND REALLY TIRED OF YOuR HORSE SHIT. BUT since this is Haven, the actual colors and text are lost on us. However, it’s important to mention some of the things that Caliborn does when he types, as it no doubt affects his actual speaking patterns. Caliborn separates many of his clauses with a single period, rather than using commas or semi-colons. Thus, he likely makes larger stops when moving from clause to clause. He’ll put periods between words to make a point or emphasize what he’s saying too, for example: This. Is. Stupid. Caliborn, like Calliope, also uses some British terms, such as twit and rubbish, though his use of language isn’t nearly as prominent as Calliope’s. Caliborn also swears quite a bit, but he definitely doesn’t talk like a hick.

Caliborn also has a habit of rambling on incessantly, usually resulting in him saying some stupid ass things. Don’t get me wrong! Caliborn really isn’t a stupid guy; he can play some pretty shitty tricks on you. But once in a while Caliborn makes slips of the tongue that can be hideously embarrassing. One such example comes after his canon point, when he explains that he’s just killed his sister. Now that he’s defeated her, he can “mate” her. HOWEVER, he meant to refer to the human “checkmate,” a relation to Caliborn and Calliope’s games of chess. He also tends to repeat himself a LOT; it’s not for dramatic effect, it’s just because he has a habit of repeating himself, and he kind of hates it. The more excited he gets, the more frequent these repeats become, and the shittier his insults are.

Caliborn also likes games and puzzles, a parallel to the movie Saw. His games are meant to be a kind of torture, but to be honest; he’s not very good at the whole torture thing (despite being totally evil). When he plays a game with Dirk, he forces Dirk to draw him porn. Now, this could be good or bad but…. Caliborn basically just requested cuddling and really absurd scenes: here’s a great example, and I swear, it’s totally SFW. Caliborn, on the other hand, turns his “porn” requests into a hideous fetish, and assumes the entire time that Dirk is slowly losing his mind from drawing the lame ass cuddles. He also flips his shit when Dirk draws Roxy grabbing Jane’s ass, and immediately demands that shit get erased. Because human sex is gross.

Which brings me to mention that Caliborn hilariously fetishes cutesy stuff to the point of it being extremely creepy. Calliope has a habit of sending him some stories and scripts, and while he tends to chastise everything she sends him, he admits to Dirk to being horrified and piqued by her work, and in some extent “enjoys” reading what she rights. If we were to compare it to a human response, imagine the first time you ran fanart of tentacle porn (or whatever is just plain weird). It’s that “stop; stare; question your life; and eventually, after being mildly traumatized for a little while, slowly scrolling away” feeling. Except that Caliborn kind of keeps going back to do the hideous gawking.

Let’s take a step backwards, going back to Caliborn’s love of puzzles and games. Now, I mentioned that he sucks at torture, sure, but there’s one thing we’re missing, and that’s that Caliborn is still, regardless, a conniving brat. Caliborn has never been able to defeat his sister at chess. One day, he decides that he’s going to put a shitty twist on one of their games. He asks Calliope if he can switch the position of the king and the queen. Instead, he puts hats on each piece to make them look like the other. He claims that he broke absolutely no rules when he pulls the stunt, too; Calliope puts decorations on her pieces, why couldn’t he? Also, Caliborn never moved his king like the queen would move, and the king’s movements are within a queen’s capabilities. He turns it around on Calliope, and says that SHE is the one who’s broken the rules by “allowing him to cheat”.

Abilities/Powers: So far, nothing. He isn’t a realized Lord of Time yet, so no worries there.

You list her as wearing two sets of jeans, two camisoles, and two cardigans.

If she is wearing all of that, then it will all appear with her.

Sample Entry:
uuuGGGHHH. Somehow. This is all her fault. And I still went along with her stupid fucking idea. I can’t even fuck shit up here. This is literally. A useless expanse of rotted wood and dirt. It’s like she wanted out of one shitty mess. Only to pick out another equally shitty one. And WOAH. Believe it or not. This is still her fucking fault. ((he drops kicks the communicator, sending it flying and watching it collide with the earth. It’s silent for a time, soon followed by the grit of sneakers on dirt. He picks it up.))

What the fuck kind of shitty computer is this anyway. Some magic guessing box? Like you just slam down button like a fucking ninny. Until you call the right person. Great.

Whatever. I’m done with that bitch now.

OH OOPS SORRY, that was my flub on her inventory. I wrote that part of the app... pretty late at night. NEVERMIND, thank you! No, she'll only arrive with one each of the jeans and camisole.
