People who understand what it is to be more than a human, yet not worrying about what they might be. These people live side by side with the Thirteen Tribes, bringing up their children and working with them. This is the story of Ben Wood, Detective of the 22 Precinct Homicide division. Where some detectives and officers don't understand the history of Central Park, Detective Wood has a better understanding of the nature of the place. While he doesn't call it home in the same way others might, he has a connection to nature that is easily missed. But that's now. Let me tell you how he got there. ---- His early years were quiet, brought up a human child to human parents alongside others who were more than they seemed. He didn't have the spark seen in others, the certain //je ne sais quoi// that meant the difference between kinfolk and Garou. It didn't bother him in the slightest, even when they looked down on his family as if they were second-class citizens. That changed when he went to high school and bumped into Christian Frost, becoming friends with the loner. He knew what bubbled under, but Christian treated him as a person, not someone beneath him. They weren't exactly inseparable, but they spent more time together than with anyone else, bonding almost like brothers. There were brief moments he spoke with Christian's sister, but the age gap meant he didn't make any moves on the young teenage girl. He could see the devastation her death wrought on his best friend, consoling him and making the decision to go through college and get his Law degree, possibly to become a lawyer, but that all changed when his heart was broken. He doesn't even remember her name, but he remembers she put him on the path to being a cop, so he has her to thank for that. Wherever Christian went, Ben followed: beat cop, vice, homicide. Even the same training, trailing behind in the numbers. He didn't have quite the same abilities, but he made up for that with his moxie, always pushing himself harder. Some see him as being married to the job where in reality he hasn't found the right person to pique his interest. Everyone seems so shallow, wanting him for his body, money, or pull. Maybe one day some force of nature will turn his head. ---- [color=blue]❝ [/color]I had a girl once, pretty as can be. Turns out she didn't love me. \\ When her family had money trouble, I couldn't help but burst her bubble.[color=blue] ❞[/color] ---- Relationships Each and every relationship in this tab has been built up with the character involved.
