Benjamin's most dominant traits are his determination and his ability to stay calm in stressful situations. His instincts easily guide him to assess a situation correctly and find the best outcome in the shortest amount of time. Most of these skills he has learned in the military, but picked up on them very quickly because of his natural personality. Benjamin may come off as rude sometimes to others, as he can be very blunt and straightforward, not wanting to waste time, even in moments where time isn't a crucial factor. It's impossible to always be in control of whatever is going on, though he always desperately tries to be, and when he can't get that control, anger can quickly take him over. He hasn't learned how to deal properly with other negative emotions, such as misery, and doesn't generally like to deal with those
However, he is not unpleasant to be around. He genuinely just wants the best for people, sees protecting the weak as his duty, and is generally a loyal and fun guy. He can get annoyed pretty quickly when dealing with others who don't think like him or go against his judgment.
Benjamin loves challenges and likes to push himself as far as he can. Other people would definitely label him a masochist, because he would go any length, and jump into any dangerous situation, no matter how low the chances of survival may be.


Benjamin was born into a middle-class family, and the first years of his life went by pretty well. Most of his time he spent picking up an obsession on guns, quickly playing first person-shooters, learning about the different types of guns and playing paintball and airsoft. If he wasn't inside gaming, he was out playing soldier with his friends, or climbing the rooftops of buildings and getting in trouble for doing so.
He had trouble sitting still at school and behaving, which made the relationship between him and his parents deteriorate. He was an only child, but had a golden retriever dog that he loved like a best friend. He had to deal with death for the first time in his life when the dog sadly passed when Benjamin was only twelve. Shortly after, his life became darker, as his parents were headed for divorce and he never saw his father again. High school wasn't kind to him either and he started to lose touch with his friends, he struggled with keeping his grades up.
Eventually he met the wrong friends, and ended up trying to escape the misery by hanging out with them on the streets, drinking, smoking, and stealing things. They especially liked him because he knew how to handle a gun, and while he wasn't big on drugs himself, he did help them steal from drug dealers and shops. But then, after a wild night where three of his friends got arrested and he somehow managed to escape the cops, he knew he had to change his life before he'd be thrown into prison as well.
