Personalities:
Wyatt McCoy
Wyatt McCoy is a young guy who is perpetually in a state of trying to figure his life out. He was never one who had any particular life ambitions or found any real successes in anything - far more failures, truthfully. But when things start to take a nosedive, he's one to cut and run, move to a new city and start over before having to deal with the rest of the fallout, and it's something he's done several times since being kicked out of his home at seventeen.

Despite the apparent lack of stability, he is very clearly a happy, confident guy with a loud personality and maintains an active lifestyle wherever he goes. He puts a lot of energy into anything that he sets his mind towards - a "bigger is better" attitude towards life that he attributes to his Texan upbringing.

A social boy, he's typically pretty cordial and warm, happy to greet everyone with a big smile and firm pat on the back, and considers everyone to be a "buddy" within moments of meeting them. As a thrill-seeking daredevil, the amount of energy can often be reckless. He's a bit of a hedonist and tends to overdo things, especially when presented with a bottle of whiskey, and could probably learn to use some social filters before sharing some of his more colorful stories.

Despite his otherwise loud persona, he considers himself to be a bit of the strong and silent type when it comes to his feelings, and he actively works to make sure things don't bother him too deeply and rarely shares when things do. He is emotionally open to angry confrontations and is known to get in a few brawls, but is unlikely to share his emotions in non-violent ways.

Siv the Valkyrie
Siv only had one simple goal in her life: succeed at being the absolute best at everything.

Amazingly, this goal was never completed in her short life before her capture and transference into a weapon. There were a few things that always ran against Siv’s ambitions. For starters, she hated everyone and refused their help, which ruled out any obstacles of success that would require teamwork or allowed any room for personal subjectivity. She wanted to achieve success without the help of anyone else and was in constant denial that this could lead to failures. Particularly she was ruthless towards any non-female Valkyrie, believing that a true Valkyrie should never seek the guidance or friendship from the male sex or other forms. They were either tools or threats, and nothing more.

Siv’s extreme determination and thirst for success despite constant failures has turned her personality bitter, short-tempered, and violent. These attitudes permeate her behaviors – she is bloodthirsty and ready for combat in simple conversations just as much as actual battles.

Wyatt & Siv
Wyatt and Siv don’t see eye-to-eye on everything. They are bonded together, but Siv’s reluctance to work with others poses an obstacle in their relationship, particularly her resistance to work with men. To further this, Wyatt’s ambivalent towards women as a gay man from the South with strongly enforced gender-roles creates some friction against Siv’s attitudes that toe the line of misandry. In addition, Wyatt’s constant state of loss and lack of ambitions to succeed directly oppose Siv’s fierce determination to succeed in anything and everything - however, it is also what bonded them. Siv's strong determination and goals appealed to Wyatt, and Wyatt's loss of direction let Siv feel that she could take the reigns. Their goals do not always match up and they often find themselves in disputes for power in their relationship, but in combat, they work together and utilize their short-fuses to combine and pose a determined threat to their opponents.

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
Wyatt chose to become a Hunter because he was looking for greater meaning in his life. He was never particularly ambitious and never had a goal or dream to really set a course for his life, and never felt like he was a part of something beyond himself. He has been a loner for over half a decade since he was forced out of his home, so promises of being able to do something with meaning that he is destined to do, and becoming a part of a group would be enough of a selling point for him, even without knowing the rest of the details.

Weapon Ability
Screaming b***h – When Wyatt fires his weapon, Siv’s battle cry boosts his power.
