Hunters - Descends from a family of hunters. They have been training for generations, and in The Rivers have become very famous among other hunters. For decades the family has devoted themselves to hunting and killing witches, and they think of themselves as Saviors. In their eyes, all witches are evil, without a doubt. Weston has now assumed the leader position for the band of hunters involved in 'The Prophecy.'

. Lastly, Wes has a pistol, which used to be his father's. He uses it as little as possible, however, mainly because he does not feel like wasting his money on bullets. He also doesn't like how loud it is, as it calls attention to him. He only uses it in extreme situations, even though it is almost always on him. He's only ever actually pulled the trigger twice since he got it, though he did have target-practice with his father as a child [spoili]

: Mentality:
~Health Ailments~
"I don't have time for sickness."
. N/A .
~Personality~
"Truthfully, this depends on who you are to me."
. Strong willed, loyal, brave. Weston is very confident in who he is, and knows what he wants. He is not afraid of a little confrontation or a challenge, he has always been the type to step up to the plate. He knows he has to work to achieve his goals, and is more than happy to put in the necessary work. While strangers and acquaintances may think of him as cold and unforgiving, the people who are close to him know that Weston is a very loving individual. He is selfless, willing to sacrifice himself for another. Very much the hero type, Weston is the first to offer his help when someone is in need. Wes sometimes acts older than he truly is, as his default attitude is serious. It takes a bit of coaxing to get Weston to joke around, and the time frame for him to goof off is very short. He is a natural born leader, partially because he cannot assume the role of a follower. Stubborn, and a tad bit disobedient, Weston does not take orders well. He does what he wants, and nothing more. When upset, Weston is very hostile, one characteristic he does not have shame in, as he perhaps should. He feels that if he does not like someone or a situation he should not waste his energy trying to hide the fact. Despite this, he is not a negative person, and thanks to his logical way of thinking Weston usually finds solutions to his problems as quickly as possible .
~History~
"No one cares about my tragic backstory."
[spoili]
The Rivers family has been hunting for several generations. Customs and weapons were passed down, the family sought out spouses who would also hunt, in order to keep the tradition going. They had always been strong haters of all witches, and passionate witch hunters. Due to the family's several accomplishments, they are largely known among the hunting community.
First born to Wilson and Anastasia Rivers, Weston was a happy baby boy. Early on, his parent's knew he was going to be a control freak. He was the kid who took charge in games, the one who enforced rules among his young peers, who put his toys away the minute he was finished playing with them. Shortly after Weston was born, Anastasia announced she was pregnant again. Weston has never known life without his baby sister.
Due to the double pregnancies, Wilson and Anastasia took a two year break from hunting. However, Weston knew his family were hunters well before he understood what the term meant. He was taught from birth that Witches are the source of all evil, and that everyone should do their part to exterminate him. It wasn't until Weston was five that he truly comprehended what it meant to exterminate the vile species he had been raised to loath.
Despite the slim age difference between Weston and his younger sister, Thalia, he has always felt very protective of her. They played together, they learned how to wield weapons together, how to track together. Weston spent most of his childhood at his sister's side, and he considered her his best friend- even if she did get on his nerves from time to time. It wasn't until Weston was seven, and Thalia was six, that he truly started to develop an identity of his own. Up to that point he had only ever been what his family wanted to be- as most children are. A product of the socialization of his parent's, if you will.
By the time Weston was ten he had pretty much decided Axes were his favorite weapon. This was an oddity in his family, as his elders consistently preferred either fire arms or swords. For reasons Weston had not understood, his father took great pride in his son's strange choice in primary weapon, often gloating about how skilled Wes was with his vast amount of training axes.
A few weeks after Weston had turned eleven, when his sister was ten, their parent's began to take them on hunting trips. Of course, Weston's mother and father did most of the work, but going on hunts was somewhat a coming of age ritual in the Rivers family. Only a year later did Weston begin to actually participate in the hunts.
One day, when Weston was thirteen, his whole family went on a hunt together, and his aunt and uncle tagged along. His father was putting more responsibility on his children, which meant that they would begin to hunt more on their own rather than clinging to their parent's side. The plan was for them to divide and conquer, each of them positioned at an exit just in case the witch tried to escape. Weston heard a lot of screaming from his post, and hesitated to run to his family's aid because his father had instructed him not to compromise the hunt. Sadly, this hesitation prevented Weston from potentially his parents.
The witch had fled, leaving Wilson and Anastasia for dead. Weston was devastated by the sight of them laying in their own blood, soon finding himself stumbling around in search for his sister. His aunt, Scarlet, found her a few yards away, unconscious. After trying to wake her, and checking for her heartbeat, Weston's uncle, Jeremy, rushed them all to the hospital.
Weston was in hysterics the whole night, and in the morning it was declared that Thalia was in a coma. The young boy refused to leave his sister, staying in her hospital room the next three days until she woke up. For several weeks after she woke up he still refused to leave her, it seemed as though they were attached at the hip. For the next couple of years Weston only left for extremely short periods of time, to go hunt with his other family members.
Only when Weston was seventeen, and Thalia was sixteen, did he begin to give her some space. Still, he is, and likely always will be, very protective of his sister. He prioritizes her over anything else. The two lived with their aunt and uncle until Weston was nineteen, at which point they began to hunt by themselves.

~Weaknesses~
"Oh look, another thing I don't have time for."
. Sometimes Weston allows his pride to get in the way, which may cause problems for those relying on him. He is very hard-headed, occasionally making him hard to work with. He has a bad habit of being insensitive, often hurting people's feelings unintentionally. Arguably, Weston's biggest weakness is his intense unwillingness to make compromise and trust those he has already deemed as sketchy .
~Strengths~
"I'm not one for bragging."

~Hobbies~
"Honestly, I don't have much time for silly little 'hobbies.'"
. Fishing, Target Practice, Hiking and Mountaineering .
~Talents~
"I am a man of many talents."
. Weston is an excellent tracker, as he spent most of his time learning how to hunt and track from his father as a child. While he is not passionate about art, Weston is very good at drawing. He is able to jump 10 feet (12 with adrenaline). He can beat box, pretty well actually, and despite how unmanly it sounds Wes took the time to learn how to sew .
~Fears~
"If I tell you my fears you become a threat. Let's not do that."
. Weston has an ongoing fear of flying, and will refuse to get on a plane when there is another option. He is also not fond of voids, or empty spaces, as he finds them rather unsettling. And, while he knows it is extremely irrational, Weston has a seemingly unshakable fear of being eaten alive .
