■ Bigby's birthday is April 13th, which is an homage to Disney's The Big Bad Wolf, which was released on April 13th, 1934. ■ Born and raised (by himself) in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York. ■ The youngest of seven children (all boys, somehow) who Bigby hasn't had contact with since his early teenager days in New York. ■ Bigby knows the foster care system like the back of his hand from the number of homes he's toured as a child who lost his parents. None of them worked out and he eventually lived on the streets for a period of time before moving to Recollé. He had once held a strong bitterness towards group homes but now interacts with foster children and does volunteer work for the system now that he understands its importance. ■ Has a long scar in the form of a knife wound that runs down his abdomen. This is as a result of him doing one last good deed while in Manhattan, having tried to help a stranger with long, black hair that was being robbed only to be stabbed as a way of saying "thank you". This promptly served as a wake-up call for him to get his life together and is the reason why he moved out of New York City to start anew. ■ Recollé is where he meets Elizabeth. The TL;DR version is that they ■ On that same note, Bigby is devoted to his wife and daughter and will literally die for them if needed. Nothing else is more important to him; not even his job. People that know him will likely know this just as well. ■ A workaholic to say the least. He worked longer hours than he needed to for an already demanding job as a Police Officer in his first few years due to higher crime rates back in the day. Even now as a Homicide Detective where people are suspiciously incapable of dying, Bigby will still work well into the evening on wrapping up old cases or helping other departments catch up. ■ He is quite an avid outdoorsman. Bigby adores hunting, fishing and camping an equal amount and will find any attempt to do so on the weekends or holidays. Hunting is his preferred way of putting food on the table, to the point of cleaning, curing and cooking the meat of the animals he kills. One of the bigger purchases he would like to invest in is a boat that would allow him to travel with his family on the lakes in or out of town. ■ Also owns his own heavy-duty dehydrator!! He loves this and it was probably a Christmas or birthday gift from a year or two ago, and it sees a lot of use as he often makes his own beef jerky and thinks of other uses for it all the time. ■ He does not have a creative bond in his body in terms of music and leaves his wife and daughter to bond over instruments and the like, and will never be caught singing unless Elizabeth somehow convinces him or he is in the shower. Bigby does have a hobby of reading detective novels like the walking archetype that he is as well as books in general, and does aspire to writing one of his own by the time he retires from the force. ■ All of that reading and his age has led to the man wielding a very intimidating pair of reading glasses that he often uses at work when reviewing paperwork or... well. Reading. ■ Even though Elizabeth believes in God, the Wolf household is not extremely religious by any stretch of the imagination. Bigby prefers to leave his beliefs vague, actually being quite the superstitious man who considers some myths to have inklings of truth. Concepts like reincarnation and karma also hold some semblance of sense to him and he isn't one to shoot down a particular mindset. ■ Owns (aka still paying for) and drives a 2014 Buick LaCrosse. Drove a banged up, old yet fully paid off sedan for years as a Police Officer when off duty, but when he was promoted, he decided to trade it in and go hard. Elizabeth still doesn't let him down as the purchase was far too expensive for their month-to-month income, but Bigby has no regrets. ■ Being his active life in law enforcement and an avid believer of "never being too safe", Bigby owns a lot of firearms. From rifles meant for hunting to shotguns and handguns, his house is loaded. He is also an even more firm believer of gun safety and has since ensured both Elizabeth and Jade are trained in handling guns and all of them are unloaded with their safeties on. You'd think no one would try and break into their home but. They'll learn their lesson one way or another (Yato). ■ Winter is Bigby's favorite season, specifically when it gets cold enough that it snows. He doesn't particularly understand why other than the fact that it lets him wear his heavier coats, but he has a natural affinity to that time of the year. ■ Bigby is also a very active member of the PTA at Jade's school, partly in thanks to Elizabeth when she started working two jobs. He's somehow roped into letting students do ride along's with him for "educational" purposes but he knows better than that. He takes a small amount of pride that it gives his daughter a few more cool points, at least. |
