Marshall Law

24 Years Old

**Benjamin Marshall Lawson**, better known as **Marshall Law**, is a famous Viewtuber who has moved next door to Sam Young and he unknowingly tanked her Ruminate ranking by playing her game on his channel and it gives an improper review, causing his subscribers to flood the rating and comments. Not much is known about him either. All we know for now is that he’s estranged from his father, used to be an alcoholic (put himself in rehab and has been sober for almost a year), got kicked out of his dad’s old fraternity for breaking rules, dropped out one semester into law school (instead got an art degree), got arrested for assault because he got into a fight with a guy that tried to drug a girl (witnesses said he was crying the entire time because he didn’t want to fight). All this can be found in episode 96. Mongie, in the Smash (Sam x Marshall) channel in discord, had said that his parents are separated. While his sister and father are both lawyers, the last thing Marshall wants to be is that. He wants to be an artist but gave up on it; though he draws occasionally in his sketchbook (ep. 29, ep. 113) and for Dee and Link at Daily Grind (ep. 113)

The character's real name is in reference to the title character, Ben Lawman, of the creepypasta web serial *Ben Drowned*.

## Appearance

Marshall is a tall man who is considered quite handsome by most people he comes in contact with shaggy black hair, slightly upturned black eyes, a kind smile, very large feet (that he dislikes) and a glistening six-pack that can give any fangirl a heartthrob.

In **Ch. 113**, he starts to grow a few hair stubble around his face. He’s also growing out his hair again

## Personality

Marshall has a broad sense of humor, as well as a gift of making certain people smile. He is described as a "narcissist" and he is a sucker depressive by Olivia, though no one else seems to feel this way. His outward actions make him seem like a happy-go-lucky person, but there are clues leading to the fact that he feels a sort of deep melancholy, such as the "Depression" emoti-kun that is near him whenever he is struggling with inner thought (i.e. talking to Monica about playing Sam's game again).

Marshall seems to care more about others than himself, and Sam sees that he deeply cares about his fans. When he was sick, he insisted that Sam Young just take him to his apartment and leave him there for a few days, but Sam refused. Although Marshall is considerate, his soft heart is what hurts him the most.

Marshall also suffers from depression and collapsed from takotsubo cardiomyopathy (broken-heart syndrome) after seeing Sam dedicating Ruminate to him in the credits

## Relationship

### Monica McKenzie

Monica is Marshall's ex girlfriend whom he dated secretly because according to Marshall, he wanted to avoid huge backlash from jealous fans. Due to underlying problems such as not being able to be their true selves around each other, Marshall always agreeing to what Monica wants (shave chest, cut his hair short, etc.), Monica wanting a public relationship but Marshall refusing, and Marshall keeping her a secret from his family, had lead her to break up with him and deciding to try being friends first
