Bentilzorchar "The Eater of Dreams", Ben for short

No
Species
Eldritch horror
Occupation
Unemployed (self-proclaimed villain)

Appearance
Someone's sleep paralysis demon

Saturday morning cartoon villain (think team Rocket)

It has a morphy body, mental immunity and isn't alive. It can climb walls and turn into a big blob monster. It can eat anything and won't show up on film
Situation
Homeless, moneyless and has no idea what's going on

Appearance

Height
Usually around 170CM; 5'7"
Body
Whatever it wants, but Ben keeps it in a genderless, very average human shape. Not too thin, not too bulky, perhaps bit more leaning towards masculine. Their skin is grey with black veins visible through it here and there. There's a large scar on its left shoulder, that will be there no matter what shape Ben is.
Face
Again, quite androgynous and average-shaped, with a nose that's maybe bit too flat and narrow to he normal. Black veins surround their eyes and their mouth is full of sharp teeth. Has three large slash scars in the middle of its face.
Eyes
Black voids, with darkness leaking out from them.
Hair
Black, long and oily-looking. It seems to be almost always moving a little
Clothes
Ben really likes black and intimidating clothes, so maybe punk or goth would be the most accurate description of their style. They also like to make themselves a cape when they feel extra dramatic.
Other
- To sleepers Ben appears like a young, masculine-leaning African American person with very dark brown hair and eyes.
- Ben's blood is black

Personality

Flamboyant - Ben takes after its creator's sense of theatrics, the side that enjoys the drama and fun in causing insanity. Thus, it's in Ben's nature to follow along with that. To speak with grand words and gestures, to be a dramaqueen and speak in a manner worthy of a Shakespearean stage actor. Ben finds great enjoyment in making a scene and making the world its stage.

Chaotic - Ben isn't human, and it shows. It has no concept of how humans should act and does whatever it wants. These actions can be random and disruptive, but they don't much care. Not at the moment, at least. Ben is brand new to this world and has a lot to learn.

Genuine - Ben is emotional and expresses itself without filter or limit. They tell no lies, it doesn't cross their mind to do that. Why should they bother to hide their thoughts from others? Though this also means that Ben is horrible at hiding its true intentions when not "in a role", so to say, and every feeling that passes through its mind will show on its face clear as day.


Additional Information
Confused - Under the bravado and dramatics, there is scared and confused mind. Ben only knows that Annabelle is its enemy, that it used to be a part of something much bigger and more powerful, and that it isn't supposed to exist. Ben longs to be a part of the whole again, because that is what the voices in their head whisper to them. But it is also fascinated by its own individuality and ability to choose and do what it wants. So, Ben has for now decided to enjoy the ride until the day comes for them to join the one who birthed them once again.

Core Advantage
The Eater of Dreams - Ben is able to travel into and manipulate dreams, and the only time they can eat dreams is when they are in one. They have to be physically touching the person whose dreams they want to enter, the person has to be actively dreaming, and if the person wakes up while Ben is still in their dream they will be immediately ejected.
When in a dream Ben can manipulate almost anything in it, aside from the duration. It cannot force a person to remain asleep. Once Ben has devoured a dream the person whose dream was devoured will be unable to dream until they wake up.
Core Disadvantage
Body Link - Annabelle and Ben's bodies are linked, and any injury that one of them receives is transferred to the other as well instantaneously. This applies to both external and internal injuries.
Bonus
- Although Ben only gets nourishment from dreams/nightmares, consuming other things won't make it sick.

History

- The original Bentilzorchar, or Ben Prime, was created by another Old One, far into deep space. It separated from its creator, devoured them and began to develop its self, form and power.

- Eventually Ben Prime began to hunger and it seeked out the closest inhabited planet. There it devoured the inhabitants' dreams and nightmares and found a taste for wreaking havoc. It slowly drove the whole planet into insanity and then moved on.

- Ben Prime did this to every planet it encountered from then on, and in-between it slumbered in deep space, strengthening itself. Then, during the 1800s, Ben Prime arrived on Earth.

- Ben Prime began its feast in North America, it started slow and planned to savour this new world for at least few centuries, but its actions didn't go unnoticed. A family of monster hunters from across the Atlantic sent one of their best, Annabelle, to deal with this threat.

- The two played a game of cat and mouse of sorts across the continent, until their confrontation culminated near the area where Polaris Pass would eventually come to be. Much to Ben Prime's dismay Annabelle managed to drive it into a corner and nearly destroyed it. As a last desperate attempt to escape Ben opened a rift in space-time with the last of its power and slipped in. Annabelle was, unfortunately, dragged in alongside it.

- Ben Prime navigated its way away and into deep space, but unbeknownst to it, a small piece of it was left behind. That small piece got transported to modern day Polaris Pass with Annabelle, 200 years into the future, and the two became tied to each other. Now Ben has to navigate this whole new world and existence and wait for the day its creator comes to claim it back.
