Weslyn Theiwyse


 

Weslyn is played by John. You can follow him on Instagram.

Weslyn was born into a community that faced the unknown forces reshaping their world led to fear and seclusion, transforming their way of life. The once vibrant social fabric unravelled, leaving a culture defined by its wariness of the unknown and reluctance to change.

Weslyn's journey led him into a world that had evolved beyond recognition. The remnants of his village, now swallowed by progress, left him feeling disoriented and disconnected. Weslyn wanders the isles, grappling with endless dreams.

Weslyn's constant companion is a sleek, russet fox that trails closely at his side, its vibrant fur a stark contrast to the surrounding landscapes. This fox, with its sharp eyes and curious demeanour, has formed an inseparable bond with Weslyn, joining him on his journey. The fox's playful antics and keen instincts serve as both a comfort and a guide, leading Weslyn through unfamiliar territories. It often sniffs the air, its nose twitching eagerly at the scent of food, particularly roast chicken. This indulgence has become a ritual, and how he finds it is still a mystery to this day.

 

Outfit


Weslyn’s attire is a testament to his life lived in close harmony with the natural world. He wears minimal clothing, favouring a pair of loose, knee-length shorts made from roughly spun, natural fibres. The fabric, dyed a deep, earthy brown, blends seamlessly with the woodland environment he often traverses. Eschewing shoes and socks, his bare feet tread softly over moss, stone, and leaf, connecting him directly to the earth with every step.

Around his neck, Weslyn wears a fur scarf, likely sourced from a fallen animal in the wild, serving both as a symbol of life's cyclical nature and as practical warmth against the chill of the forest nights. Draped over this fur, adding a splash of colour to his otherwise earth-toned ensemble, is a scarf of woven fabric, vibrant with stripes of azure blue and fiery orange. The scarf is clearly newer than the rest of his attire, its colours bright and material crisp, suggesting a recent addition or a cherished item kept for special occasions.

His upper body remains largely bare, revealing a canvas of scars and intricate blue tattoos that snake across his skin. These tattoos, visible on his chest, arms, and the upper reaches of his back, are composed of swirling patterns and symbols that evoke the flowing water of streams, the curling tendrils of climbing vines, and the delicate outlines of leaves. Each tattoo seems to tell a story or hold a secret, a permanent record of memories and moments that are significant in his life.

Weslyn's appearance is rugged and somewhat scruffy, with a mane of unkempt hair that frames his face and hints at many days spent living off the land. His attire and tattoos not only serve practical purposes but also reflect a profound connection to the natural world, marking him as someone deeply intertwined with the wilderness that he calls home.


Equipment


Weslyn's green backpack is a rugged, sturdy companion, its exterior showing signs of wear from his journeys through the natural world. The bag's design includes multiple compartments and pockets, providing ample storage for the tools and essentials he carries on his travels.

In the main compartment, a collection of dried herbs fills several small pouches, their fragrant aromas mingling, offering both sustenance and symbolic connection to nature. Sprigs of sage, lavender, and rosemary provide versatile ingredients for herbal remedies or cooking, while a pouch of medicinal roots offers a reliable resource for treating minor ailments.

A rolled-up bedroll is secured to the top of the backpack, providing a comfortable resting place for Weslyn during his travels. This bedroll, crafted from thick wool, offers warmth and insulation, ensuring he can rest comfortably in varying climates.

In a side pocket, a small leather-bound journal rests alongside a pencil, its pages filled with notes, observations, and sketches. This journal serves as a valuable resource, capturing Weslyn's insights into the natural world, its flora, and its fauna. Next to it, a folded map of the region offers navigation assistance, detailing the surrounding forests, rivers, and meadows.

A small bag of trail mix, consisting of nuts, dried fruits, and seeds, provides sustenance for Weslyn, ensuring he remains fuelled during his travels. A leather water skin, securely strapped to the side of the backpack, offers a reliable source of hydration, keeping him refreshed through varying environments.

Weslyn's backpack also contains basic tools: a flint and steel for lighting fires, a slender knife for cutting plants and herbs, and a coil of thin rope for securing items or climbing. These tools reflect Weslyn's resourcefulness, enabling him to adapt to the challenges of the natural world.
