Species: human (deceased) Age: died mid 20s Gender: male Sexuality: heterosexual Height: ~2m Weight: none
Occupation: reaper's item; used to make spirits pass on Extra: he doesn't remember his own voice and therefore how to speak, he's also a bit fuzzy on his other details like his appearance (hence he makes a mess out of his hair often). In his last described form, he can't bend his waist or legs, just his shoulders, neck and arms, and will float around rather than walking.

story
This guy's story starts as Thomas, when he dies in a car crash along with his wife and young child in his mid 20s. He is so devastated and guilt-ridden that he sinks right into the ground, not allowing the reaper that came for them to send him off. Later, his memories grow more hazy, and he starts to forget about his existence slowly but surely, fading out of this world... Until 10 notices him and takes him with her and gives him the name Benjamin. With her help, he slowly begins to remember about himself, and about his family (memories he tries to never forget again, as they're very precious to him). 10 even tries teaching him how to possess objects and touch things in the real world. Together, they decide to help other spirits that are stuck to pass on, but they get in trouble with the real reapers, and are separated. Benjamin, not fully able to control possession yet, is unable to leave the scythe he inhabits by himself, and many years go by in which he can't do anything... Until he is found by Nina, who takes him with her because she wants to become a reaper just like her friend. She names him Liq. Eventually, Raven notices the scythe is actually inhabited by a spirit, and with her knowledge of witchcraft and black magic, she manages to allow him outside the item, although he is still bound to it.
personality
Benjamin is generally very calm and observant, as well as eager to help out others. He has difficulties getting people's attention when he wants something, though. At the same time, he's slow to notice when someone is actually talking about or to him. He's a very grateful person.
