Complications:
Code Against Killing - Joshua has a very complicated view on the sixth commandment. While innocents and pure humans are of course protected, his views on part humans like werewolves walk the line. Typically, if they are in monster mode, they are fair game, but otherwise, he is forced to face the dilema of "to kill or not to kill."
Religious - Joshua Benson is a devout Hasidic Jew, and therefore strongly believes in G_d's immanence in the universe, the need to cleave and be one with Him at all times, the devotional aspect of religious practice, and the spiritual dimension of corporeality and mundane acts.
Prejudice - As a devout Jew, Joshua adheres to the dress code of his religion: Hasidic men most commonly wear dark overclothes. On weekdays they wear a long, black, cloth jacket called a rekel, and on Jewish Holy Days a similarly long, black jacket but of satin fabric, traditionally silk. Following a Biblical commandment not to shave the sides of one's face, male members of most Hasidic groups wear long, uncut sidelocks called payot, and a long beard. He also wears a tallit katan (an undergarment with tzitzit hanging out) and a yarmulke or brimmed hat. With such distinctive features, Joshua is easily spotted and discriminated against by certain people.
Sabbath - Joshua and Rockface are unavailable during the Holy Day (Saturdays) and on Jewish Holidays.

Background: As a young man, Joshua Ben-Ahijah witnessed the attack of a pack of Lycanthropes on his small town on the outskirts of Jeruselem. When the attack was written off by the government as a Pakastani strike, he packed up his belongings and moved to Portland, where distant cousins lived, and adopted their family's Americanized last name of Benson. Once there, he began to train himself in firearms and studied the old myths about Golems, learning to create Rockface. Now, he and his gift from G_d go out and try to stop the creatures that had devistated his family, as well as the other supernatural creatures of the night.

Bar Ben was created and designed by Jim Caswell.
