LIKES & DISLIKES

● helping people - while the rest of the human race has become more vicious than their deceased kin, benji is always there to lend a helping hand. maybe it will get him killed one day, but he refuses to surrender his humanity.
● mischief and mayhem - stirring mischief is his specialty. even now, in this fallen world, he can often be found harmlessly pranking the soldiers and gangs.
● stealing - only from those with supplies to spare, of course. you know, steal from the rich and give to the poor, which, in this case, would be himself. he only takes what he needs to get by, no more than that.
● his treehouse - before everything went to shit, his brother helped him build the wooden fort in the trees. it's still there, untouched by the war.
● proving himself - he is looked down upon because of his young age, and there's nothing that grates on his nerves more. he finds the shocked looks on people's faces when he takes out a zombie with a single shot to be highly rewarding.

● being called 'kid' - he may be a bit on the small side, but that doesn't mean he's helpless. in fact, quite the opposite. he hates being protected and is constantly trying to prove that he can defend himself. he can.
● asking for help - he finds it frustrating when he's unable to complete a task on his own. there's nothing he hates more than requesting assistance from a stranger.
● the sting of rejection - he was bullied throughout his school life for nor particular reason. maybe it was because he was short, or perhaps he was just unlucky. either way, he desperately craves acceptance from others and wishes to please.
● soldiers and the military - his brother was drafted to fight in the stupid war, and he still holds a grudge against the military for it. they are not the heroes that people want to believe in, they are villains who have destroyed the once beautiful world.
● being underestimated - he doesn't look the part of a bad ass survivor like you'd see in the movies, but he's perfectly capable. he hates it when people belittle him.


PERSONALITY

● he is a trickster and lover of mischief. silly, silly, silly. there is no telling if what he says is true or if it is merely a scheme to con you. usually, he saves his foolery for the ruthless gangs and soldiers he dislikes with such a passion.

● he is surprisingly gentle for a person in this time. while many have sacrificed their souls and hearts for the means of survival, benji will go out of his way extend a hand to others. he has trouble accepting assistance in return, but there is nothing that fulfills him more than knowing he might have changed someone's life.

● his secret talent is making people laugh, and he can even crack a smile on the most cynicalof faces. despite the solemn situation he has found himself in and the losses he has endured, he tries to keep his head up.

● he detests it when people refer to him as a 'child,' or a 'baby,' or his least favorite, 'zombie-bait,' and he will go to great lengths to prove he is none of these things. he hasn't survived this long by sheer luck, after all. he was ostracized in school because of his size, so it's a bit of a sensitive area. he wants to fit in with everyone else.


THE STORY SO FAR

[/font]

● benji's father left his family before he was born, and he was raised by his mother and older brother, tod.

● he was bullied in his earlier school days for no particularly good reason. maybe it was because of his size, or perhaps he was just unlucky. whatever the reason, he didn't have many friends other than his brother. tod would always come to his rescue, and while benji was grateful for the support, it is also what drove him to be fiercely independent in his later years.

● he was very close to his brother, practically raised by him. the two built a treehouse out in the woods one summer, and it's still there, untouched by the war. benji often uses it as his hideout, stashing his supplies under the floorboards.

● when the war started, his brother was drafted. tod hadn't wanted to go, but he had no choice in the matter, and his absence devastated his family. benji now holds a grudge against the army for taking away his favorite person in the world.

● after the virus broke out, his mother was infected. benji didn't have the heart to kill her, and instead fled from his house and hid in the woods for several days. when he was brave enough to venture back to the city, everything was quiet.

● he was quite young at the time of the outbreak, but somehow he managed to survive. while people often underestimate him because of his age, thinking he's no more than zombie-bait, he can easily take out the undead with a single shot. and if he doesn't have a gun with him, his quick feet and keen street-smarts will surely navigate him to safety. he knows the city like the back of his hand.
