Strengths
~Understanding Because he constantly hears thoughts, he tends to understand reactions and emotions. Not that he'll be any more nice about it.
~Loyalty If you somehow manage to befriend him, he's sure stick it out in bad times, even if he grumbles about it.
~Animal Whisperer He tends to be really good with animals. He used to own a horse-Apple-but she got old and died.
~Concentration If he really concentrates on a problem, he ca find a way to solve it. Normally, he avoids this, though.
~Sarcasm He enjoys the confusion that it gives some people. He enjoys it and uses it.

Weaknesses
~Irritable He gets annoyed. Easily. Especially when someone's acting stupid.
~Suicidal Tendencies The constant swarm of thoughts is extremely taxing. He's already tried to kill himself once, don't doubt his ability to do it again.
~Memory With the continual flow of information, it's difficult for Ben to remember anything very well.
~Romantically Awkward Ben isn't good in any situation with romance or romantic suggestions. He gets uncomfortable and annoyed.
~Chihuahuas Despite his love for animals, Ben hates little, yippy dogs. He-ah-threw one, before, and broke some bones.

Personality
Ben thinks of himself as an irritating person with no reason to be here except to be. Under normal cicumstances, he could be nice, but the wear and tear from all the thoughts in his head make it difficult. He's quiet and more inclined to listen to your thoughts than your words-albeit, now that he has that medecine, the habit has stuck and he just doesn't listen.

Viewing most of the human world as inadequate and a poor excuse for the highest organism on the food chain is really because of his feeling of betrayal. His parents split, his mysterious father figure disappearing until after his mom died. Mr. Foster handed over the keeping of Ben to his great-aunt and eventually she died of old age, but, just prior, she handed over Ben to the Lyle House For Mentally Disturbed Teens(with encouragement from his father). As of late, he tends to be distrustful of everyone. A piece of advice he might give someone? Trust is standing on thin ice.

IT'S CHASING OFF THE DAYS[/center][/font][/color]

Family
His parents, Lucy Payton and Michael Aaron, were married for two years before they had their first son, Samuel Adam(also referred to as Sawyer). Three years after that, they had their second son, Benjamin Elijah, and divorced two months after his birth. Lucy took Ben, and Mike took Sam. Lucy died from a DUI accident when Ben was four years old. His great Aunt Lily Jane Graham.

Great Aunt; dead.
Father; alive, but not met.
Brother; alive, but not met.

History
Baby Foster was born on after a 38-hour wait in the hospital, brother Sam and daddy Mike anxiously waiting. Originally to be naturally born, they changed it to a c-section because of the taxing wait.

Six months and two broken chairs later, Michael was gone, leaving Ben with his alcohalic of a mother and their overweight, white cat, Jared. They lived together in multiple apartments, all within range of her job as a secretary.

Soon after his fourth birthday, Lucy was drowning in debt and misery and crashed on the freeway while driving home from the bar. Ben was left behind, his non-existant father giving him to his great aunt on his mother's side before they even met. Which was fine, he didn't want to meet him either.

During all this, the only person to pick up on Ben's ability to tap into people's heads was a certain science teacher. This startling discovery happened when she politely asked Ben to teach the class since he was so keen on talking. He recited the lesson as she had planned, shocking most-all of which besides the teacher assumed he already knew the lesson. She reported this incident to his great aunt and it was written off until she noticed the hints and suggestions and reported back to his father.

Very recently, Lilian died from a stroke, and Ben was moved again, settling down in the mental institution with grace.

He's given himself a list of rules to follow for the rest of his life.
1) Don't talk unless you need to.
2) Keep clear of possible conversation

Connection
