Notable Features: A tattoo of an eye with the word 'dream' under his left arm. A heart on his left arm (he literally wears his heart on his sleeve).

On the left side of his neck, he has the words 'where words fail, music speaks' and above are some music notes. On the ride side, he has a bluebird saying 'Casus Belli' which means 'Incident of War'. Another tattoo of a bird is on his left rib cage. He also has the left side of his lip pierced.
Play-By: Kenneth Nixon
General Description: There's something about Ben that screams 'garage rock band'. His style is all dark and rocker and his tattoos don't help the matter one bit. Some may call him the 'dark brooding' type, but he's anything but brooding when it comes to his personality. There's a type of 'slacker chic' about him that makes him look laid back and relaxed in every situation. While he does try to look his best and remain professional, he refuses to wear anything that is uncomfortable to him. He likes his sense of style.

Ben seems to fade right into the musical background. He's got the 'rock and roll' vibe naturally soaked into his skin. Not that he can't dress up from time to time and look spiffy in a tie, but he'd rather not get into the clean cut look if he can help it. He's all skin and bones, but small enough that just about anyone could stick him in his pocket. Some might even think that he is younger than he actually is, just because of his size. He is a fidgety man, always needing to be moving. He's always got a goofy grin on his face and a flicker of something in his eye.[/justify][/blockquote][/size]

Likes:

[/color] music, diet coke, guitar, laughing, messing around, twirling his lip ring, texting, dancing, Chinese food, talking, tattoos, listening, talking with his hands, hoodies, drinking, learning something new, writing.
Dislikes: sitting still, being serious, being confused, silence, being told what to do, hipsters (like what?), looking like a 'know it all', drama, fighting, being stuck in the middle, neon colors.
Strengths: music, listening, going with the flow, figuring things out, lightening the mood, being goofy, understanding.
Weaknesses: his dad's death, love (he's in the frame of mind that 'all you need is love'), his quick temper, his reflection.
Fears: not living up to his father's expectations, losing the ability to play music, being walked on, having his feet stick out of the bottom of his blankets at night. (he still does that 'jump-step' thing when he gets out of bed every morning)
General Description: Ben is a very passionate person. Everything he does, he puts his whole heart into. He can be very deep when it comes to certain things, but most of the time he is very goofy and laid back. He definitely knows how to have a good time. He has a hard time thinking before he talks or acts. If you ask him a question, he'll answer it honestly and to the best of his ability... and if he doesn't have an answer for you that he is entirely sure about, he'll tell you that he doesn't know before finding out the answer for you. He is a very resourceful person and if he wasn't so obsessed with music, he probably could have went on to be a lawyer or politician. He can be professional and very serious when he has to be, but he will always try to take a lighter way before he lays it on hard. If you do him wrong once, all the playful attitude in him will disappear just as fast as it showed up. Ben truly is a kind, gentle, selfless person, but inside of him there is a kind of fire. He is very calm and reasonable, but he can get flustered in a situation if he realizes that he doesn't have control.[/justify][/blockquote][/size]

History: Growing up was difficult for Ben, but he made it through with no regrets. His mother taught him about love and how to treat a woman while his father taught him about music and how to be a man. His father was the one that dished out thousands of dollars to put him through piano and guitar lessons on top of transportation to voice lessons and the man behind the stage when it came to every one of Ben's performances. He was the one that helped him find himself and understand that confidence is important when it comes to performing. Being musical himself, it drove Ben to work that much harder. His father was his hero and his role model. When he was about six, he got interested in music as a career. He learned to play on his dad's old guitar and his father proposed to teach him all the little tricks he knew.

High school was rough. Mainly, he got picked on for not playing football. While he did run track and played basketball for a year or two, it seemed that those sports simply weren't manly enough to make his music and theater hobbies fade into the darkness. He wasn't manly enough in high school to keep from being picked on. He was considered to be a real dork in high school. No one really wanted to talk to someone as outcasted as him and typically, he ate his lunch in the bathroom. When his father picked him up from school every day to go to his guitar lesson, he always had a smile plastered on his face, no matter how much he wanted to cry. His father understood when he was ready to break, but he always made sure that Ben knew that 'the show had to go on'. His family was unbelievably supportive in everything he did.

Ben's sixteenth year was a busy one. At this time, he spent most of his free time with his friends in his garage, jamming out through his 'punk rocker' phase. It was the same year that he first fell in love, recorded his first demo, and the year that the accident happened. On his way home from work one day, Ben's father got into a fatal accident and died on impact. When he finally heard the news, he was heart broken. His hero, best friend, and father had disappeared out of his life as simply as that. The next few years of his life were hard and a sense of depression always hung in the air, but his passion never faded. He knew that his father would roll over in his grave if he ever stopped making music. Like his father always said, the show had to go on. After the accident, Ben had trouble with his self-esteem. His music brought him through his hard times. He went to school and majored in music. He continued on doing what he loved, despite his lack of confidence. While he no longer had the heart to go on and become famous like he had originally wanted, it didn't stop him from striving for a career in music. He wanted to be able to help people on top of spread music through out the world. After applying at St. Helena's multiple times, he got the job. It was a time for self discovery and truth.[/justify][/blockquote][/size]
