He has one pair of shoes that are far from being new but they aren’t withered, either. He does have piercings, though - both ears, a couple along his nose, eyebrows, too.

What You See
Is what you get.
Benji, above all else, is the stereotypical bad boy, plus or minus a few things. Right off the bad, you’ll see that he doesn’t lack confidence and will personify that whenever he does anything he, at the very least, sets half of his mind to. He’s likely not to take no for an answer, so don’t expect a gentleman if he doesn’t allow you to refuse him. No, this doesn’t mean he’ll rape you. Gosh, what kind of guy does Benji look to you? No, he’s just very assertive and usually gets his way.
The odds haven’t really been in his favor, especially as of late, so one might see Benji do something uncharacteristic to how he was a year ago. Last year, he probably wouldn’t have missed a day of class or mouthed off to a teacher or do anything of the sort, but lately, he’s been doing all of those things in excess. Furthermore, you can count on him to not take much care to thos ehe hurts or what his actions do to those same people. A lot of caring about doing the act itself, not so much the aftereffects.
One last thing to note is that Benji is often disassociated by a lot of social events. They just aren’t his thing. He might partake in certain events if they interest him. Like, you might catch him join a contact sport just so he could, at the very least, get away with hitting people, but he won’t aspire to be the captain or anything. He just wants to be able to beat up people and that seems the way to go. Oh, and he’s a selfish little bitch. Only thinks of himself. So, if you get hurt, well boo-fucking-hoo. Cry me a river, woman
What I Know
One could say that Benji does have some layers. Think of him like an onion: it might be hard to do so, but once you do, you’ll find him not to be so bad. Yeah, he can be a dick and maybe an asshole as well, but guess what? Underneath it all, he might just be a bit of a pussy. Okay but seriously, this guy has experienced hardship like it was nobody’s business(and he’ll constantly say it’s not their business). Death and disappointment has been his last year, so you’ll forgive him for being a certain way. If you get past what he puts on the surface, you might find he’s loyal like a dog. Or there might be something else waiting for you. No spoilers, but just know that he’s like the transformers: there’s more than meets the eye.

║ My Dreams ║
Benji doesn’t have a lot of hopes and dreams, for he’s not exactly into a lot of things that would motivate him to do much of anything; though, he would like to get the hell out of Wentworth and maybe see more than the same streets and same people. Like, maybe a fresh start? Yeah, that sounds nice. That’s exactly what I need.

║ Brief History ║
Troublesome. Tribulation. Tragedy.
There comes a point and time where one just has to not care about what others think about you, especially after you suffer a massive tragedy in your family. This is exactly what drove Benji to be the way he is. Coming from a family that is well-liked, he might've not always been how he is right now. He has a father, a mother, two brothers, and a sister. His parents were originally born in London, England, as were his older brothers Sylvester and Wesley. His sister Cassandra and him were born in Denver, so they didn’t get the British accents, though there is a certain regal tone to Cassie. Benji didn’t, sadly(for them, but not for him).
Benji doesn’t live a really lavish life. Some would even say he’s dirt poor. Well, this is because he lives only with his older brother Wesley and Cassandra. The three of them have lived in Wentworth for most of their lives, but it’s been the three of them for about a year, because that’s when their oldest brother got into a major car accident and had since been in a coma. And that caused a rift between their parents. Their father took his own life and their mother moved in with her parents back in London. Wesley opted to care for his younger siblings. It was the only thing he could do. But, let’s just say that Benji took it hard. Not that he talked about it because he closed up since then. One does have to wonder if the old, semi-social Benji lurks somewhere.
In any case, ever since last year, benji’s personality had shifted for the worst. He became distant, garnered a reputation of not exactly being the nicest person. Misunderstood or simply not giving any fucks, Benjamin Cross turned a new leaf.
