Wirt

wirt palmer

appearance

Wirt is tall and lanky, standing at 6'2" and rather toned from time spent running track. He has a rather large nose and a thin face with large brown eyes and a healthy amount of baby fat around his face. He typically dresses in dark washed skinny jeans and either faded tee shirts or dorky sweaters, there's no in between. He's worn the same pair of ratty flats for about 5 years now, one gray and one black, and is never seen without a red beanie on his head as remnant of the time he spent in the Unknown that one fateful halloween. 

personality

history

Wirt lived a rather average life. His dad left at a young age leaving only he and his mother alone, though she worked hard to keep them both supported. She started off as a secretary and worked her way up the corporate ladder, and Wirt was perfectly happy with his life. His mother ended up remarrying someone she had met at work, and though Wirt was a bit jealous about the newfound relationship and how it seemed to affect him, he couldn't help but be happy that his mother finally had someone. 

When Greg came along things changed. Admittedly Wirt was both excited and disgruntled but they settled into life quickly enough, up until one Halloween when the "incident" happened. In his efforts to confess to his crush Sara, Wirt ended up getting himself and Greg nearly killed via drowning in a river. Their travels in the Unknown were harsh and eye opening, and Wirt realized he needed to work harder to protect what he had and not be so selfish. They returned, worse for wear, in the hospital and on their way to recovery.

He confessed to Sara and they dated for a while, but broke up a few weeks later when the "spark" never entered their relationship. Things went back to normal, if anything Wirt became more protective of Greg and their little family became much closer. However, like most teens, Wirt was curious. His friends managed to convince him to do stupid things and he picked up a few bad habits. He quit band and joined track, but also took up to smoking both cigarettes and weed on occasion. While he wasn't big on illicit drugs he became quickly addicted to nicotine and avoided the gazes of his parents when he came home reeking of smoke.

He ended up in the void at 17, just a few months ago after venturing back to the river where that one fateful event happened, and he fell in again. He felt himself sucked into some sort of space before he blacked out, and woke up having found himself on the edge of the Unknown, and entering a strange town.
