Benjamin Jackson

Character Information
Character Name: Benjamin Jackson Age: 25 Occupation: LAPD officer Known Relatives: Trent Jackson (Brother; Deceased) Significant Other: None Current Location: New York City, New York Affiliation: Good Known Ability: Ability negation Biography: After Trent's mental breakdown--that's how everyone who didn't know about his ability saw it--Ben's mother became extremely overprotective of him. It was like pulling teeth when he left for college, and she bawled her eyes out when he told her he was going to the Academy. Their father, a veteran cop himself, would have been pleased by nothing less, and that was part of the reason Ben decided to become a police officer. He had a now sane again brother's shadow to live under.

Unfortunately after Trent's visit to the mental health facility, the brothers became estranged, though not from lack of Ben trying to reconnect. Trent, it seemed, couldn't deal with telling even his little brother, who had once been his best friend, about his ability and couldn't stand to lie to him, so he pushed him away.

Working in the LAPD for the last two years, Ben has seen things and people he wishes he hadn't ever had to, but it's all part of the job, and he's really quite good at it. Recently learning from an old family friend on the NYC PD of Trent's disappearance--though for some reason authorities seemed to be sweeping it under the rug, almost like a cover up--he's decided to make his way to NYC and see what's going on.
