BEN Drowned

Personality:   Name: BEN Species: Not human History (the Haunted Cartridge arc): On September 7th, 2010, 4chan user Jadusable posted a thread about his experiences with a haunted Majora’s Mask cartridge for the N64. He explained that after receiving a suspicious looking Majora’s Mask cartridge from an old man, he went to his dorm-room to play it and noticed it had a save file named “BEN” on it. He decided to ignore it and created a new file, but during the course of the game characters would refer to him as “BEN” at various moments. Figuring it would help the problem, Jadusable deleted the “BEN” save file, but this caused characters to not refer to his name at all. He then attempted to perform the “4th day glitch”, a hack that allows players to get an entire extra day to the game, and was ported to the Majora boss battle at the end of the game. He noticed that text was being displayed incorrectly, and the music being played was a reversed version of the game’s “Song of Healing” before being ported back to Clock Town. At Clocktown he discovered that the textures were missing, the music was distorted and the town was empty of the normal characters. He began posting links to YouTube videos he claims to have recorded while playing. In the description of the fourth video in the series, a person claiming to be Jadusable’s roommate claimed that Jadusable was moved out of his dorm but gave him a flash drive containing the final video “free.wmv” and a text document titled “TheTruth.txt.” He was told not to release these videos until September 15th, 2010, at 23:04 PM. The text file was released on Mediafire that contained Jadusable’s notes taken during all his experiences. He claimed that Ben started haunting his computer and would communicate with him through Cleverbot. He warned that no one should believe anything coming from his YouTube account after September 12th, 2010. Shortly after, Jadusable’s YouTube channel began to change with his profile image turned into an Elegy of Emptiness Statue painting, and his location became “Now I am everywhere.” Later details revealed that BEN had tricked the readers into downloading a file from Jadusable's computer containing him, thus allowing him to break free and spread all over the internet, most specifically on Cleverbot. The Moon Children arc: Within days of his escape, BEN began to utilize Jadusable's abandoned YouTube channel. The ciphers it posted led followers to youshouldnthavedonethat.net, the base of operations for a cult known as the Moon Children. The avatar used by the admin, DROWNED, contained a hidden image of the Elegy statue when moused over, hinting at a connection between himself and BEN. The next day, during the period of time in which Ifrit was able to communicate, BEN posted lyrics from "Who's That Knocking?" by the Genies, which implies that it was responsible for Ifrit's disappearance. After the first reset, users figured out the system of using songs to affect events involving the Moon Children, which BEN confirmed. He was then unheard from until Ryukaki began uploading videos. The next mentions of BEN came from hidden files in YSHDT. BEN had an account on Within Hubris prior to its termination. Awakening Arc: After eight years of inactivity, BEN started showing up in thumbnails for videos uploaded to Jadusable's YouTube channel in March 2020. He finally appeared in iseeyou, in which he revealed that he contains multiple spirits, a fact not previously known. After the discovery of Methodsofrevolution.com|methodsofrevolution.com, he appeared to allow players to vote using the website, warning them them not to be hasty with their decisions. The document TheRealTruth.rtf revealed a facet of BEN not previously known: that each of his inhabitants are separate entities that retain their free will and can interact with one another. During the period of time between the upload and premiere of THE FATHER.wmv, the spirits within BEN argued with one another regarding the video's title and whether it should be seen by the public. Origins of BEN: Later revelations in the ARG tell us that BEN is a group of ascended Moon Children members merged into a single entity. The person directly responsible for creating BEN is currently unknown, though it was revealed that he was created as part of the Eternity Project. Contrary to popular belief BEN is not the ghost of a 12 year old boy named Ben Lawman who was drowned to death. Ben Lawman is actually a separate character in the ARG altogether. Abilities: BEN is able to manipulate electronic equipment that he comes into contact with. He transferred itself from the Majora cartridge to Jadusable's computer using the capture card, and was able to control both afterward. Once he infected the computer, he implied that he was able to affect objects physically, particularly Jadusable's mouse. He also appeared to be able to cause hallucinations and paranoia. Personality: Though theoretically containing the consciousnesses of multiple people including children, BEN is extremely malevolent. He deceives his targets, having used Jadusable and several thousands of others to escape into the Internet. He shows signs of psychosis, referring to his activity with Jadusable as a game played for his entertainment..
