oh no a virus- [BEN] by Yunimu on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

NAME:
BEN. His human counterpart was named Benjamin Lawman. He's also commonly known as "BEN Drowned".

AGE:
Benjamin died at 12, BEN has existed for around 17 years. Averagely he's 14/15. However, because BEN is not human, he can act as older.
Some hormonal development will never take place, meaning that BEN won't be able to develop feelings of responsibility or sexual/romantic attraction.

SPECIES:
BEN is the mix of a virus and the concience of Benjamin Lawman, that by accident got mangled up when Benjamin died. There is no specific name for his species, easiest is to call him an entity. BEN possesses the power to control any electronics, as long as he can move around freely. He has no physical body unless he really needs it, and mainly lives in electronics.
He can cause very vivid hallucinations and nightmares. Creating illusions are really his thing to do.

GENDER:
Since he is not human and doesn't have a body, he has no biological gender anymore (as in, he literally has no genitals). His personality is masculine and he does identify as male, despite not having bodily anatomy of any gender in the forms he usually takes on.

SEXUALITY:
Asexual and aromantic. BEN finds humans and physical interaction absolutely disgusting.

PERSONALITY:
Intelligent, apathetic, sadistic, sassy, mean, manipulative, smug, two-faced, narcissistic. BEN is an absolute asshole. When Benjamin is more "in control", he's usually more playful, outgoing and childish. BEN experiences no emotions since he's mainly artificial intelligence. Empathy and guilt are included in this.

MENTAL HEALTH:
Since BEN is an AI, it's not too surprising that he is a psychopath. (He has Antisocial Personality Disorder) He is very easily bored, extremely apathetic, feels no remorse and when he experiences emotion it's anger. Different than humans with ASPD, this is not necessarily a result of being neglected or abused emotionally (although the chance is big that he was when still alive), he is simply coded like that.

APPEARANCE:
BEN has, as said before, no actual body. He can take on a physical form (usually using water for this, as this conducts his electricity well), but isn't a huge fan of it. When he does, he can choose pretty much any form he wants, he only can't change his build (slim), his smile and his freckles - since those were things he had as human. His favorite body is that of a teen elf with blonde hair, black scaleras, and a wide grin with blood dripping out. This teen elf is pretty much Link from the Legends of Zelda, as this was one of the few human-like creatures he saw for 8 years straight, but more unsettling because he finds it amusing to scare people.

PAST:
Not much is known of this. Benjamin must have drowned at April 23 2002 in a ritual, as he was part of the cult that calls themselves the Moon Children. This happened in his own home, his parents were murdered/committed suicide about a week later.
Benjamin's death resulted in the existence of BEN. BEN got trapped in a cartridge of Majora's Mask, which remained untouched until a naive man under the alias of Jadusable bought it. Thanks to him, BEN escaped into the internet, and now is free to terrorize everyone.

MURDER METHODS (and motives):
BEN usually does not kill, since he thinks it's more fun to watch people mentally suffer than to have them dead, but when he kills, it are members of the Moon Children cult. Usually he electrocutes them or drives them to suicide. His motive is revenge, or solid boredom.
