CHARACTER: Benjamin Barker PLAYER: Ri! If you don't have me added everywhere yet, my discord is resplendentri#3940, and my plurk is ResplendentRi. My modus operandi is "radio silence, followed by 'look at this meme/tiktok/video that made me think of you," which is to say that I'm chronically online but terrible at starting conversations. SUMMARY; Benjamin has no immediate plans for the first year or so, post-Denny's, nor any idea where he's going to settle. He wants to learn more about the future, see the world, behold its wonders, learn to embrace second chances and newfound freedom.
After around a year, year and a half after the end of Curtains, he ends up tagging along with a group that goes to see R2's reigning queen perform, an event that ends up giving his life a much-needed trajectory by introducing him to Jane Seymour. He settles down in New York, taking up his trade again and spending his free time getting to know and then falling in love with Jane.
After a year or so, he's able to rent a parlor space with a small apartment above it, and once he's established is when he begins to realize that Jane is more than a dear friend and confidant, and agree to take their courtship slow and serious.
And then Jane gets pregnant. And all thoughts of "slow" go right out the window. The result is Antonia "Teeny" Jane Barker, shortly followed by her little brother Thomas "Tommy" Benjamin Barker. And that is where they stop, in part because Tommy is about the same age as Angus and Elle's twins, who call Benji "Grandpa Ben" and he could not, in good conscience, bring more babies into the world who would be younger than the kids who call him GRANDPA.
LOOKING FOR; Anything! Did you put him up for a little while before he got a purpose and settled down? Come visit his new parlor? Need Grandpa to babysit? Have a wedding or a baby shower? He'll be there. his narrator-adjacent power is being summoned like Beetlejuice (for legal reasons this is a joke)
Continuing close CR or developing CR that didn't get the chance to happen during the round are both great with me! Especially since he's the father-in-law to most of the teen polycule (father-in-law once removed, if you're Connor).
