Personality: In the years since becoming a werewolf, Bennett has been able to chill the hell out. Though still nervous and jumpy and constantly worried, he's much calmer than before. Rather than completely panicking, he can talk himself from SHEER TERROR to mere jitters. Bennett is nerdy, bookish, and legitimately a very nice guy. Though somewhat reclusive, he enjoys company, as long as he's sure he's not a nuisance or a hindrance of some kind. He often goes way out of his way to please people. He's somewhat of a puppy dog, even in spite of his lycanthropy. He responds remarkably well to attention and affection, something he only ever received from his kid sister. If you bless him with your presence and deign him worthy to speak to, he will keep talking and talking in an attempt to keep you around and talk to you-- and eventually he'll make a fool of himself and stop. He finds a childlike delight in knowledge and is more than happy to spill out anything he knows in hopes of either educating you or giving you some scrap of enjoyment from what he has to say.

He's a hopeless romantic at heart, and has never really had the inquiring mind of a scientist. He writes a lot, about all sorts of things, filling up a shelf of notebooks that he will rarely re-read and never throw away. However, his black-and-white notions of right and wrong are slowly being dismantled because of the recent events in his life-- his honest love of justice and good triumphing over evil, a love from his childhood and all the fairy tales he studies is at war with what is legal and illegal, such as killing your brother to defend someone else's life. He could turn himself in, or he could move on and no one would be any the wiser-- and it's this conflict that's depressed him enough to keep himself locked in his apartment for a month. Bennett is a master of guilting himself into action (or inaction, in this case) and prefers to try and think through a situation before acting. Generally, it's all this thinking that gets him into trouble.

However, in spite of all of that, occasionally, the wolf can take over. His lycanthropy virus is largely sentient, and, given control, entirely malevolent. If the wolf personality overtakes his own, Bennett becomes violent, quick to anger and somewhat dominant-minded. However, that hasn't happened in years, so you should be okay. Right?
