Ben Ward

Ben Ward is one of the two titular protagonists of the Ben and Dan series whose character is based on the eponymous developer. He is characterized by his fashion choice, donning a Marty McFly-inspired blue shirt and red vest, and his personality, which often mirrors that of Oscar Madison from The Odd Couple, compared to his companion Dan, who embodies the tidy and organized traits of Felix Unger. Despite Ben's seemingly chaotic and messy approach to life, it surprisingly makes him a skilled and resourceful point-and-click adventurer, outshining Dan in their escapades.
In the games, Ben's adventurous spirit is evident through his fearlessness when it comes to picking up and combining seemingly insignificant items, a skill that proves crucial in their various misadventures. He exhibits a carefree attitude in contrast to his partner, and this lack of inhibition proves to be an asset as he and his comrades navigate through challenging situations. Ben takes pride in his adventuring prowess and tends to display an air of overconfidence, often showing off his abilities to others.
Despite their contrasting personalities, Ben and Dan share common interests, forging a strong bond as friends and a perfectly matched adventuring duo. They both share a passion for PC games, the TV show Magnum P.I., and an overall love for nerdy pursuits, which contributes to their seamless camaraderie as they embark on their thrilling and often comical journeys together. As a team, Ben and Dan complement each other, combining their individual strengths to navigate the peculiar and whimsical world of point-and-click adventures.
