Ben

**Ben** is the first ever robot created by Kitagawa over a decade ago. He appears in Anyone Want to Roleplay as Kitagawa's best friend. He likes to be petted and loves hugs and basically everyone.

## **Appearance**

Ben's body is made out of a tin can with mechanical spider legs on four sides of its bottom half. He has an invisible screen around the outside that allows his face to be on any side of his body. He also has a built in camera that is always recording things that happen so he can rewatch the memories if he breaks.

## **Personality**

Ben is very childish and loves to play and try new things. He likes to cook and enjoys singing and it is almost impossible to get him to turn against anyone, if you befriend him there is no way to get rid of him.

## **Relationships**

**Kitagawa** - he was built to be her best friend and even though Kitagawa was still a bit evil when he was brought back he still loves her more then anyone else. He wants to help Kita make more friends and be happier.

**Chilli & Peppr** - he is really scared of these two, they were the kids who bullied Kitagawa and destroyed him originally.

## **Eytomology**

Short form of Benjamin which is from the Hebrew Binyamin meaning "son of my right hand" or "favourite son".

## **Backstory**

### **Before his creation**

Before his creation Kitagawa was very lonely since she had no family or friends and she kept asking two girls to be her friends. At this time she had made several smaller inventions that all blew up and made people afraid of her and her creations. She couldn't get any friends and eventually Chilli and Pepper had enough, they got an idea to distract Kitagawa so she would not bother them again. They said if she could make a robot that worked they would be her friends, they expected Kitagawa to fail but to there surprise a few months later Ben was created.

### **Birth and Death day**

The first thing he saw when he was activated was a 12 year old Kitagawa who instantly hugged him and called him her best friend. She asked his name but since the robot couldn't think of a name she just settled with calling him Ben. She told him her story and how they would be BFFs and never leave each other and Ben was very excited.

When she brought him to her "friends" and they rejected her she completely broke down, she kept showing them Ben and desperately trying to keep them as friends. But Chilli and Pepper told her the truth and pushed the robot from her hands, he shattered as he slammed onto the ground. He was alive and killed on the same day. Later that night Kitagawa kept trying to fix him, but it was no use and she got so upset she scrapped what remained of him.

### **A second day**

There was one day when he was fixed, he woke up to the teary eyed now 16 Kitagawa who hugged him and apologized with a strange man standing behind her. This man was named Winson and was the one who taught her how to fix the robot and also adopted and raised her. Unfortunately Ben was still not stable enough to stay alive and after a day of helping Kitagawa he broke down and was put somewhere where he'd be kept for many more years.

### **In the Roleplay**

In Anyone Want to Roleplay Kitagawa was encouraged to revive him, he is a lot better made now and can last many days although he is old so he does break for unknown reasons every once and awhile but he's always fixed by Kitagawa or Kubo. He now lives a happy life with the duo and has learned how to cook amazing meals.
