Relationship Status: Single as a pringle and always ready to mingle
Personality: There's two different sides to Ben. Some might say he suffers from a dual-personality. One minute he's very calm, friendly and sarcastic
(in a good way); the next he's cold, distant and has a dark sense of humor. The better side of him would prefer to stay away from feeding on people, but when he becomes his 'other half', he tends to look past it. Benjamin sticks to a few beers most nights, but when the bourbon comes out, so does the side of him that he hates most. He's a people pleaser. Wants to help as many as he can, and tends to beat himself up when he can't, even if there's no possible way of doing so. He's very hard on himself. Part of that stemming from his childhood, how his father used to be just as harsh on him.
Habits: Avoids eye contact with unfamiliar people, smokes cigarettes especially when high on emotions or just after a 'feed',
has to have a clean room/house, when he's out and about at night he tends to pick up trash/recyclables and put them where they rightfully belong, reads the newspaper, etc.
Hobbies: Going on night hikes with his two dogs, painting, sketching, reading, playing piano, hiking, walking around the lake, etc.

History
Life Before Red Lake: There was never any "before", but
before this time that I came back, I left to New York with my family. We moved there just before I turned 7, and that's where we lived until I became of age. Once I hit that mark, I left my family and went off to join the army. I stayed in service for 8 years. I was turned by a 'night-stalker' while I was deployed in Iraq. I would have signed on for another 4 years with the Army had it not been for getting turned. It's been almost 2 years since it happened. I haven't seen the light of day, since. I decided it was time to come back home. It took me a bit to find some form of work, but eventually, I went into the only field I thought I could thrive in. Medical. Been a nurse ever since. Being a vampire isn't easy, especially in this small of a town, but honestly, I had nowhere else to go but back home. I couldn't go back to New York. I couldn't risk endangering my sister or mother.
Life in Red Lake: I've only been back for a few weeks. Didn't start showing my face around town till a few days before the disappearance happened. The cops were a bit suspicious of me afterwards.. It's only been until now that they've slowly started to back off. We'll see how this goes, from here.
Thoughts On Riley Walker: Haven't been back in the area long, but I've been gone longer than she was alive. Even with that, I heard quite a bit about her while staying at the B&B. She sounds like a good kid. Hope she turns up.
Thoughts On The Murder: I knew the victim's family well. Grew up spending quite a bit of time with them, both our parents were friends. Didn't really care much for the guy cause he was a major dick, but I
do feel for his family.
