Benjamin Brown

Born Benjamin Edward Brown, he soon found himself living with his drug addict mother in a rough part of town. He vowed to find and kill his dad after he beat her up and put her in the hospital before splitting town. When he was six, his mom suffered a stroke and was put into an assisted living home, and Ben found himself bouncing around foster homes...

He was always a troubled kid, but he never received any psychiatric care, and he soon learned to mask it. Benji became very good at deception, and he had a suggestive, manipulative voice that could make what he was saying sound so convincing. As he got older, he used this skill along with his physical looks and expressions to his advantage.

Of course, none of that could stop him from getting into trouble though. When he hit puberty, his erratic behavior became more explosive, and he first went to jail when he was twelve, and he would have to repeat 6th grade. This had him work on controlling his erratic behavior, and he managed to become quite stoic when thing's pissed him off. It didn't mean he let things slide or would forget perceived wrongs, He just learned to take out his vindictiveness in other covert ways. Benji's ability to learn and adapt was quite a useful gift which was a good by-product of his undiagnosed mental condition, and he learned to use it quite well. He learned from himself and his past mistakes, and tended to sponge knowledge from others around him.

He figured ways to manipulate the education system beginning in junior high, but unfortunately, some other activities got him expelled from the first high school he attended. However, by his second high school, he had learned to stay in better control of himself, and he had the system down and cut class just enough to not trigger home calls, and knew to attend classes on test days where he would get 'a's with an occasional 'B'. He had an address on file for his last foster parents, but he actually lived in an old travel trailer parked on a wooded vacant lot on the edge of town.

As Benji grew through his teens, he became quite a good-looking young man, and his art of persuasion only grew stronger. Toward the end of his junior year when he turned eighteen, he started working at the Boneyard, a male entertainment club located just outside the city limits south of town. He adopted the stage name of 'Gary Angle' due to a distinct upward curve of his well-endowed penis. The job helped him earn the money, and he saved up so he could enroll in college. He got a scholarship for the University of Southern California where he studied art, computer science, and photography.

It was here where he met a fellow photography student named Jared Ford when they roomed together at the dorm, and through him, he met his best friend, the stunningly cute Jane Harper, her wild friend Sophia, and the reserved Dana Wyne. The tales of kind of became inseparable for a while.
