Ben Dexter

**Ben Dexter** is an amateur filmmaker and one of the main characters of the series, he is related to Kate Dexter and is friends with Lucy Rose. He likes guns, violence, blood, and making home-made movies.

## Appearance

Ben is an adult man with spiky bright yellow hair, apricot skin, and blue eyes. His outfit consists of a short-sleeved button-up pear-coloured shirt with a red necktie (in Grave Mistake, he wears a red scarf), dark purple dungarees (he wears dark purple suspenders and pants in Fired and Movie Massacre) with golden buttons and a pocket, and purple shoes that appear to be a part of his dungarees.

## Notable Outfits

### Childhood Dress

As a child, he wore a purple and yellow dress with red slippers.

### Dustbusters

In the mini-series comic Dustbusters, his outfit remains the same as his standard look, but his shirt is coloured purple instead of olive.

## Personality

Ben is portrayed as reckless and eccentric, and he cares little for his own safety or the safety of others and instead focuses on bringing as much warfare and violence to any given situations for his action movies. Despite this problematic behaviour, he is well meaning and just wishes to live out his dream of being a filmmaker with his friends. He is very oblivious, only realizing the damage he causes when outright told or yelled at (mostly by Lucy) and is shown to be very remorseful and even quick to give up his dreams in order to fix his mistakes.

## Relationships

### Lucy

Ben and Lucy have been friends since childhood, indicated by multiple photographs. Despite him always getting her into dangerous and/or bizarre situations and being completely oblivious of her suffering, he does think of her as a good friend of his and has always thought well of her.

### Kate

Kate is Ben's relative who he treats like a younger sister. Unlike Lucy, who tends to try and keep Kate's demonic tendencies in check, Ben encourages, enables, and partakes in Kate's violent and satanic behaviour. While they seem to mutually like each other, Ben is well aware of Kate's ability to survive certain situations that would normally kill a human, and never seems to worry about putting her in any physical danger.

## Trivia

* In the original pilot for the series "Fired", Ben appears to have more spiky hair less resembling cat ears and a goatee, he lacks his tie as well.
* Ben is possibly implied to be homosexual, as seen in Fingered where he is holding a Rainbow flag (which is the symbol for LGBT Pride) and in Out of Time he gets excited when he mishears Lucy saying 'Clock' (most likely thinking she said Cock), when Kate corrects Ben he gets disappointed, in the same episode as a baby his diaper is colored as the rainbow. Also in a Tumblr post promoting Sky Scam by Wonchop, one of the animators for the series, he is also shown with the LGBT pride symbol on a shield. Tomska also hints at this in one of his tweets.
* Ben bares a strong resemblance to Wez of the IT Geeks, a series of characters created by Ben Smallman, the main animator of Crash Zoom and a few other works created by Thomas Ridgewell. Him alongside other characters created by Smallman appear in Fingered in the background of Lucy's ceremony.
* It's possible that Ben is autistic, as he shows a lot of symptoms in the show
* Despite being seemingly related, Ben doesn't share Kate's powers like being immortal, ability to fly, and use of demonic magic. However, like Kate, he also has a sadistic tendencies (though he's not as brutal as she is) and his eyes also change to red when he becomes psychotic. This may hint that while not being as powerful as Kate is, Ben still posses some sort of demonic heritage in him.
* In Firing Squad, Lucy, Ben and Kate temporarily work for a scientist who is very much hinted to be Ben's future self.
