His youth wasn’t a pleasant one, from his conception he wasn’t wanted in his family but it was his grandmother that forced his mother to go full term with the pregnancy. That’s why when he was born it wasn’t a surprise that he was put up for adoption and of course every other kid got picked before him. He grew up in the orphanage, learning how to live life between the streets and the unpleasant circumstances of his youth. The kids were all unruly but many of them listened to him since he was the longest resident. From childhood he was bigger than the other kids, as if puberty hit him too early and didn’t stop until he surpassed everyone. He was tall, he was strong, and he was feared. Bennett liked the attention he got though, finding a sense of pride in the friends who were part of his gang. Most of the other kids who weren’t likely to get chosen became a part of what he called the Junkyard Dogs as an ode to those that were left to fend for themselves on the streets. It was when he was fifteen that he decided that life had to be better than the one in there. The people that ran the orphanage did so with an iron fist and he’d been on the top of their shit list since he was never afraid to punch back. Bennett knew it was time and offered a spot for anyone else who wanted to get out of there, a few taking him up on it. One night they’d had it all prepared and made their great escape once everyone was asleep, never looking back.
To keep themselves from getting caught everyone took on another name, a new identity to live out on the streets of the Isle. Bennett was from then on known only as Buster. It was the start of this new life where he met Tristian Tramp who quickly turned into the right person for him to begin again with at his side. That’s how he learned to make money at first, showing him the ropes of stealing then reselling items of interest. It was together that they built up something for themselves after dropping their old lives. Some of the gang from the orphanage stuck around while others dispersed once things started getting hairy. Buster was able to buy the old Junkyard for pennies since it was a complete dump he could fix it but he didn’t want it for that reason alone anyway. Instead, he used it as a place to start selling things the gang stole with Tramp’s guidance. Anything from tvs to nice jewelry, Tramp and Buster were your guys. Once the business started to take off was when he fixed up the main office and got the auto repair shop cleaned up to act as the perfect cover for this operation. Together he and Tramp had created an empire in the back of the Junkyard and were turning a profit for the first time until his partner backed out. Buster was furious that this guy was choosing to settle down with a wife and kids, the whole thing. That had been the very thing he was so against, having grown up without a family of his own to which he thought Tramp felt the same. To him, this was the ultimate betrayal and he never forgave the man for this after all they had built together.
That didn’t stop Buster though, still running the business and finding more people who were in need of a place to call home. The Junkyard Dogs were his runners and for their service, he gave them a bed in their shared apartment, a job at the shop, and all they had to do was live under his rules. He ran a tight ship, making sure things stayed in order, the only fly in the ointment was his little Angel. When she first came into town he knew he wanted her but she was quick to rebuff him. Instead, he offer her a spot in the gang, and without anything else, she took him up on it. Regardless of what she said he became protective of her and regularly referred to her as ‘his girl’, giving her special treatment which in turn meant a more watchful eye. She was his favorite and everyone knew. The gang does the stealing, he does the selling, and as far as he’s concerned that’s a pretty sweet deal for everyone.
