Outfits: Wears whatever's comfy, though he likes jeans and long sleeves/jackets (for he hails from an area with a colder climate!), and he always wears a scarf (the design of which changes, though he has a few multicoloured knitted scarves from his girlfriend, all of which have a snail on one end, and a heart on the other). He also loves wearing his beanie, which is baby blue with a white intersecting lines on it. He has three pins on the beanie, which can be changed to anything (though default is a video game controller, a skull, and a heart).

DETAILED PERSONALITY
Benji is a very 'cool dude' kind of guy, he rolls with the punches and takes things as they come. He tends to get along well with people, and people tend to get along well with him.
He was the kid who daydreamed in class instead of paying attention, so as far as booksmarts go, he isn't the brightest crayon in the box-- but in terms of common sense and general 'worldly knowledge,' he's set!
Benji is very imaginative, and loves to think up new scenarios or situations. He also loves finding inventive ways to solve problems he encounters in his life.
He's kind of a nerd, and loves to indulge in the latest video games-- he also loves tabletop roleplaying games, though he tends to keep this particular hobby secret from most people.
Teasing people is his number one way to show he cares about them, and once he considers you a friend, you will then be subjected to all manner of physical & verbal taunts. Depending on the kind of person you are, these can range from gentle pokes and silly kindergarten insults, to manly arm punches and excerpts from a rather 'colourful' vocabulary.
BENJI'S PAST
Benji grew up in the hustle & bustle of New York City, but decided that simply tackling things as they came proved a much more desirable approach to the madness of big city life than running around like a chicken with its head cut off and jumping on top of things way before you actually had to deal with them.
A part of the way into his first year of college, with supportive parents, a host of friends, and a wonderful girlfriend, Benji's life was, in his opinion, going very well!
UNFORTUNATELY, this came to an abrupt halt as he was dragged down into the nightmare city of Caeglla while playing Manhunt with some of his friends in the park at night.
He has been trapped there for several months longer than Madison's party, and has desperately been looking for a way out. So far he's had little success, though he hopes teaming up with the others will prove helpful!
RELATIONSHIPS
- His girlfriend back home thinks he's dead, and has already started into another relationship... though it just isn't the same in her opinion.
Quincy apparently tried to convince him to lend a hand, though Benji denied, thinking the situation rather suspicious.
Astrid also apparently tried to woo him into helping her, and though he indeed found her very hot, the strength of both the scenario's questionable legitimacy -and- his UNDYING LOVE FOR HIS WONDERFUL GIRLFRIEND!! kept him from accepting her proposition.
OTHER s**t
Loves snails.
Sometimes makes random video game references, then gets jokingly upset when nobody gets them.
