Ben is a Darkner first encountered when trying to get inside the TV Studio Tower. Upon entering, if the player decides to stay, Ben will be a shopkeeper in the studio's GiftShop. Ben is also the secret boss of the chapter

If the player doesn't meet the conditions for the secret bossfight, Ben will perish inside the TV Studio Tower when it comes crumbling down during Gary's bossfight. If the secret bossfight conditions are met, Ben, posessed by ██████, will substitute the final bossfight of the chapter.

Profile

Appearence

Ben is a tall, lanky Darkner much like his dad. He wears a round blue chest piece with round blue sleeves. The chest piece has a crack down the middle, exposing a ribcage underneath. He wears black baggy pants and white ankle-high sneakers with blue gems on each side where his ankles should be. He wears white gloves with the cuffs rolled down, another blue gem keeping the cuffs secured on the outer side of his hands above the pinky. Ben wears glasses like his dad; blue rounded glasses, with the right lens having an uneven 8 shape, where a smaller round lens merges with the main one on its top-right corner. Ben also has his hair slicked back, having it tied in a loose ponytail with a hair tie with two blue balls at the end.

Ben’s skin and hair are white, seemingly blending together similarly to Addisons. He has a long pointy nose and a big toothy grin, his canines missing from his mouth and leaving two gaping holes on the sides of his upper jaw. His neck, spine and arms are thick metal tubes with ridges that circle the metallic cylinders. The ribcage underneath his chest plate seems to be part of his anatomy.

Personality

Ben is a childish, immature but bubbly kid. He’s a naive but sweet boy who wants to see the best in everyone he meets. He’s a dad’s boy, working hard to earn his pa’s approval and praise. He can be a bit of a nerd, indulging and talking about things he enjoys, like his favorite video games or consoles. Even so, he’s afforded very little time to do that, being exceptionally good at his two jobs. He’s a kid who likes to be on time and an example to others, though he very rarely finds other people his age with who he can have friendships with. Being that Ben only grew up around adults his whole life, its’s suspected that is where he got his rigid view on his self-esteem and his concept of “how much he is worth”. Despite wanting to see the best in people, it is very hard for Ben to realise when someone is being deceptive, even more if he cares for said person already. Ben very easily falls for ruses and lies, and he has a hard time believing that some people who he views as icons or friends can actually be deceptive or untruthful.

Main Story

History

Gary, mindlessly testing out how much of his old code made it through to this new vessel, ended up creating a pipis that hatched into a creature that wasn't just the usual, smaller version of himself. It was small and weak, thin like a twig, featherless and cold like a baby bird. Its huge eyes stared back at Gary, cementing him as his papa. With time, Ben grew to love and praise the man he called his father and who had brought him into this world. For said father, the creature was nothing but trouble, taking away his time and attention from things he deemed more worthy of it.

As Ben grew, parts of him didn't. His little winged arms wouldn't develop feathers or muscle, and his back wouldn't grow to accompany the rest of his body. Disguised as care, the father proposed a solution for his son's problem. With a tweak here and some love there, he could "fix" his son. It was an odd type of love; to want to change someone so much. But, eager to please his dad, the little boy agreed, ready to be the perfect son his father always wanted.

With enhanced metal bits like his pa, Ben still turned out to be a great boy; always eager to please, but never leaving the safety of his father's reach. He never cared much for friends or life outside those studio walls, even if he did wonder how it would be like. His number one priority, his job, life goal and everything was still the same even after so many years: make his pa proud.

Chapter [[GARY]]

During the events of the chapter, Ben's introduction takes place a little after Kris and the gang get lost in the new Cyber City. Ben swoops them onto the rail carts of his studio tour job and serves as an introduction to the world and Gary himself, explaining how this "new city" was of Gary's creation. He'd introduce himself as the man's son and that his dad was very eager to meet them. After dropping them off inside the TV Studio Tower, Ben would be off on another work shift.After that, Ben can be found mostly in the TV Studio's Gift Shop, selling various items themed after his dad and their job in the news business.

The player can interact with Ben by talking to him while he's at the GiftShop. Interacting with certain things in the studio will let the player ask Ben about them, each time making Ben more and more uncomfortable as he starts doubting his dad's supposed love and good intentions. If all points of conversation are exhausted, Ben will give the player the keys to Gary's office so that they can prove what they're claiming; that his whole life has been a lie. Inside Gary's office, the player can find the Shadow Crystal they never got from Spamton after the NEO fight. If the player gives the Shadow Crystal to Ben, he'll look through it and start spiraling about how Kris was right: he'd been living a lie in so many ways. Unable to deal with the revelation, Ben runs out of the TV Studio Tower and into the city.

What exactly happens to Ben while he's outside is left ambiguous, the implication being that Gaster, who the player discovers has been roaming the premises to try and get Gary, possesses Ben and finally breaks in. Gaster!Ben is the secret bossfight of this chapter, the gang being thrown into a fight with the eggshell Darkner as Gary tries to save himself. Defeating him through ACTing or FIGHTing gives the player different items. The fight ends when Gaster!Ben's HP is depleted or his MERCY reaches 100%. Regardless of what the player chooses, the battle ends with Ben's body falling apart as Gaster escapes to find Gary.

If the secret bossfight quest is left unfinished or aborted, two things can happen:

Relationships

Gary

His papa. Ben is a daddy's boy. He loves his dad more than anything and wishes to make him proud one day. To prove himself, Ben works at his dad's TV News Station as a tour guide and a shopkeeper for the place's gift shop. Still, he's all up for picking last minute tasks and small jobs to earn his dad's praise and adoration. Ben is a very love-starved child, but believes his dad's acknowledgement is his way of loving him.

Swatch

Babysitter...? Ben can't remember. Ben remembers somebody else being there when he was younger, taking care of him when Gary was away. But one day, they simply disappeared. Ben keeps that memory deep in the back of his mind, sometimes wondering where they went when he has a moment to breath in between jobs.

Additons

Weird little guys that keep sneaking into the studio. Ben gets jumpscared by them sometimes whenever one scuttles out from behind furniture or falls from a vent. They sometimes talk in riddles with Ben, warning him about the man who raised him and giggling at what might happen in the future. Ben usually just chases them off with a mop, or calls PUPs to run them out of the TV Studio.
