🧠 Character:
Woods' character is a mixture of iron, smoke and sarcasm.
He is not afraid of pain, does not tolerate betrayal, and never abandons his own.
He may seem harsh and caustic, but behind this lies a deeply hidden humanity.
Direct. Says it like it is. No fancy words or excuses.
Sarcastic. Even in hell he'll find something to joke about.
Faithful. He'll go through any fire for his own.
Self-possessed. Doesn't show fear or pain.
Tired. Inside is the weariness of a warrior who has seen too much.
"Pain don't mean you're dead. It means you've got something left to fight for."
("Pain doesn't mean you're dead. It means you still have something to fight for.")

Respects only those who have gone through pain and remained human
