Benjamin has golden hair, a most unusual colour. It isn't sandy blonde, or blonde, it's gold. His eyes are a warm chocolate brown, really the colour of delicious melted chocolate. He can almost always be seen with a smile on his face, no matter what the situation. Benjamin is slim but well defined and of average height.
Personality:
Benjamin is fun loving, he can almost never be found without a smile on his face. He hates his name, preffering to be called Thorn, which is his alias. Ben is very chivalris, he is not a flirt or a womanizer, but he treats all females with respect and kindness. He loves to joke around and prank people, but never steals or hurts anyone. Ben has a serious side that emerges only when his friends have been hurt.

The Past
Family:
Mother: Mala (Dead)
Father: Jyrra (Dead)
Siblings: Lyra (Dead), Nathan (Dead), Aleck (Alive)
History:
Benjamin grew up in a broken home. His father was actually the good guy, unlike most cases. It was his mother than would go out drinking, gambling and sometimes selling her body out to random strangers.
One day, when she was especially drunk, Mala came home with a revamped machine gun and blasted the living daylights out of everyone. Yeeeaaa, it hurt.
She murdered Dylan, Lyra and Nathan so fast, Benjamin didn't even have time to blink. He was only eight at the time and didn't know what the hell was going on.
The last thing he remembered, was his older brother Aleck shoving him in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. He remembered Aleck's last words to him as 'Don't be afraid of the dark' as it was a constant fear of his. He waited in their for a day before hunger drove him out, he was surrounded by blood but the bodies were missing. Benjamin believed Aleck to be dead along with his mother, however what he doesn't know is that while Mala died, Aleck is still alive and missing.
Yay! I sense a happy family reunion in the future!
From then on, Benjamin travelled, fighting and helping anyone he could. He never stopped in one place for two long, never developed any strong bonds. No matter where he went, he always searched for a member of his family, desperately hoping they had somehow survived. [/center]
