Appearance:
If you were to describe Wyatt in one word, 'dork' would be the most accurate term. At 5'6" with a lanky build, Wyatt is the last person you'd expect to be lifting weights at the gym. Short-sightedness causes him to sport a pair of glasses, though he occasionally wears contacts when the need arises. His wardrobe favors comfort over style. However, that's not to say he'll sacrifice the latter. Alongside his many jackets and old band tees, there's a good collection of sensible dress shirts and brand name clothing. Wyatt's default expression has his trademark mischievous grin plastered to his face, his blue eyes holding a friendly glow. His tendency to run his hands through his dark hair causes it to hold a messy sort of look, a style that somehow suits him.
Personality:
Wyatt is a friendly soul whose energy knows no limits. He's outgoing, even flirtatious, and views the world in an optimistic light. He's a joker with a penchant for causing trouble--sometimes on accident. However, he's quick to apologize and help repair the damage. Wyatt is trusting to a fault, sometimes coming off as a bit too clingy, but will quickly keep his distance at the first sign of the person's annoyance or discomfort. As inquisitive as Wyatt is, he's also equal parts cautious, especially when people he cares about are involved. These two sides of him are in constant conflict, but often times his curiosity wins. He's quick to take on the blame in situations, and is highly uncomfortable with conflict. Wyatt is a lover of life. He's reluctant to kill even bugs, and his first instinct upon seeing a stray animal (aside from petting it) is to see if he can help it somehow.
Biography:
Born and raised in the sleepy town of New Springs, Colorado, the Cormen twins specialized in raising hell on their small family farm. Their childhood was a cheerful one, most days spent wandering around the vast expanse of woods that surrounded their property and taking care of the various animals they kept around. Life, for the most part, was normal.
Growing up, Wyatt held a love for entertaining people. Whenever his sister was bedridden, he would take pictures and videos of his own explorations. Eventually, this evolved into his desire to pursue a career in photography. His experience at college wasn't exactly the best and, after the first few weeks, he dropped out. Reluctant to return back home and face his parents, Wyatt wandered around for a bit, doing whatever freelance camera work he could. It was difficult constantly moving around and struggling with the bills, but eventually he managed to build up a sturdy reputation.
It was during one of his jobs that he experienced his first encounter with the paranormal. Wyatt was hired with some amateur filmmakers shooting a corny horror flick set in an abandoned hospital. The set, which he'd learned only after he'd arrived, was an actual former hospital that housed some dark rumors of ghosts and murders. Whether or not that was true, Wyatt didn't care. The job paid well, and rumors were only just that: rumors. At least, that's what he assumed until strange occurrences began to happen during filming. Audio distortions, camera malfunctions, disappearing equipment -- unexplainable phenomena that Wyatt didn't know what to make of. However, it was when Wyatt saw an apparition of man roaming an otherwise empty hallway and disappear that he knew something was up. Eventually, the movie was abandoned mid-production, but the experience stuck with Wyatt.
He spent some time moving around a bit more, before Wyatt finally found a more stable place to stay. After finding a local ad and being reminded of his time in the hospital, intrigue and a yearning to know more led him to join his current paranormal team. Eventually, he invited two others to join him: his sister, Wren, and a little stray he found during an investigation, whom he dubbed Casper.
