30 Days of Character Development!

6.) Describe your character’s happiest memory.

Ben can remember one moment when his whole family was together, Mom, Dad, Markus, and Ben. He can't remember what happened during the moment, because he was 3 or 4 years old during this memory. But he remembers that his mom smelled like lilacs and his dad's deep voice.

5.) What’s your character’s ranking on the Kinsey Scale? 

As of right now, he falls somewhere between a 1 and a 2.

Ben not only finds himself attractive, he KNOWS he's attractive! Why else would the ladehs want him so badly? He does sometimes let it get to his head, but he tries to keep his ego in check.

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?

He has two small scars along his each of his eyebrows, from falling out of a tree as a kid. They're barely visible now, but they affects the way his eyebrows move. As in, they make the movements of his eyebrows much more dramatic.

hahaha because of Joe Walker's funky eyebrows (:

Ben retreated from the room for a moment and returned with two beers in hand. "Yeah, no problem. Thirsty?" he asked as he tossed one to Nickel. He sat down on the bed next to Nickel and took a swig of his own drink. 

Nickel jumped to his feet, following after Ben and talking about the fireflies in the sky the whole way to his apartment, it being such a short distance away. Once they were in Ben’s room, Nickel looked around and immediately sat down on the bed, looking more than happy to be there and stretching himself out across the mattress much like a content cat would, closing his eyes and sighing “This is nice. Thanks.”

What people first notice about Ben is his size. Besides being gifted down under, he is tall, measuring in at 5'11". On top of that, he's very muscular from his experience with boxing and the manual labor of landscaping.

Ben lost both of his parents at a young age and cannot remember them. He was raised in his Aunt's household by his brother Markus.

"Let's go, then, I don't live too far from here." Ben stood and started walking toward his apartment. As they walked, they made small talk. 

They arrived at the building and climbed the steps to the apartment. "Sorry it's a little small," Ben said as they walked in, "But it's just me and my brother here." He led Nickel back to his room, where the spare bed was stored.

Nickel thought of Peter, asleep back in the apartment, and knew that he could call and have him come get him but didn’t want to wake him up. Peter was always looking after him. With this thought in mind, Nickel sat back and nodded immediately in response to Ben’s offer “Sure!” It sounded fun, and Nickel loved sleep overs.

"Lost?" Ben asked, "Can't you call home for directions or something?" Then something dawned on him. "Listen, I've got an extra bed. Do you need a place to crash?" He needed something to get through his funk. Something to hold him over until he got farther with Cindy. 

“I got lost on the way home.” Most people would have been embarassed about being so old but still forgetting where things were and getting lost all the time, but Nickel had never seen it as something embarassing. He liked being ‘lost’. He got to see so many new things and places, that way. Remembering his address, he mumbled it under his breath.

"I'm Ben." He said, shaking Nickel's hand. "People call me Ben." He smirked and laid back down, watching the stars fall. "What brings you to the park tonight?" he asked, eventually. 

It was nice and quiet for a few seconds. Nickel had gone to that far away place in his mind where everything was so much greater than reality, and he was seeing the stars fly across the black sky above his and the other boy’s heads, like actual fireflies. He was gone, but still when the other boy spoke to him he turned his head to face him and grinned “Phillip. Nickel. People call me Nickel!” Thrusting a hand out to shake the other boy’s, he said “I like my name”, then asked “What’s yours?”

The boy was adorable, in a likeable way. Ben tensed slightly as the boy lay down very closely. Then he had an idea. A totally-not-Ben idea. What if he could have the meaningless sexual act with this kid? What are the teenage years for, if not experimenting, he thought, amirite? He propped up on one arm. "What's your name, buddy?" Ben asked.

Nickel knew the person who was laying on the ground, but he couldn’t remember how, or what their name even was. It didn’t bother him at all. Grin still on his face, he dropped down to sit next to the other boy, not saying anything and immediately looking up at the sky. For a while he just sat there before blurting out “They look like fireflies!” and letting himself fall onto his back, coming to lay down beside the not-so-stranger.
