I heard that you were living well
But you don't look like you're living to me
Though the sparkle is gone
Your smile is in place
So that everyone watching can see
You've got them all convinced

BEATRIX MOLLY BENNINGTON [ Twentyone & August, 8th ] Ben && Bee && Benni Mechanic && Viper Pilot None as of yet. Baby Jump is generally used for her.
	Beatrix Molly Bennington is not really your average girl. No one knowns that her full name is Beatrix, or well if they do they don't dare utter such a thing to her - she is know only as Ben or Bee. She is your usual no nonsense chick, all tough and hard with a mouth which would make a sailor blush. Loud, boisterous, with energy seemingly unending, offensive, aggressive, overly suggestive and flirtatious with a very serious edge to her. She loves her job well and truly and while when not on the job she may be a bit of a loose canon it is unusual to see her as thus on the job - wise cracks, sly digs and a bit of flirtatious banter aside of course. She's probably like most of the other females who choose a career path in the Fleet, tough chicks living in what is considered a tough mans world. If Ben had the chance she'd be a wild child, partying and getting drunk, stoned and well completely legless in every sense she could - instead she takes solace in the bottle and then the bunk. She's known for being rowdy when under the influence and happy to fight anyone, everyone. yeah, yeah as always she has that caramel center - soft and gooey but we'll let you find that. Why she's such a fan of the booze is an well known 'secret' which no one really talks about. She says it's because she had to grow up with a load of boys so she was always had to keep up with their drinking. She was able to drink them under the table in the end. Her history isn't all that interesting, she hasn't led an amazing life or done anything out of the ordinary, actually it's rather boring. She grew up in a huge house hold, full of rowdy boys and screaming aunts and uncles - it was huge, there was family everywhere. With six brothers and two sisters her being the youngest girl and second youngest child she found herself lavished with attention. Both sisters were quite a bit older then her, one being nearly ten years older. Lydia and Melody both went to what was considered finishing school. Lydia became a housewife while Melody a doctor. Yeah Ben has a lot to live up to. Her father was Commander Bennington, a very influential commander, having his own ship at one point and is now aboard Tera. Her four brothers went into the military one a Medic, two raptor pilot and one a viper pilot. Then there are good few uncles in something or other. She has a lot of family in the military and so it was only natural for herself to head that way. Ben decided it was a good heading, no one was really shocked - they knew her after all and her father was rather happy about it. It got her out of their hair. She'd never been the best behaved and had a habit of fighting, the little rascal. Ben decided that Viper Pilot was the way to go, following in her eldest brothers footsteps - her favourite brother the one who threw her about when she was little, the one who would play monsters with her, the one who always had time for her. She enrolled at the academy being known as Jump's - everyone gets a callsign normally based on a personal trait or ancient god or goddess - little sister, aka. Baby Jump. Ben hated this, living in someone else's shadow? She is definitely not one for that, too feisty is this one. Jump was an amazing viper pilot, everyone knew him and he was considered some hero which just made Ben pout even more. She set out to prove she was more then just Jumps little sister. She did it well, she was a good viper pilot. Where Jump was steady and reliable she was speedy and daring. Jump did things precisely and while not to the letter of the book he did them close. She did whatever the hell she wanted. It was close to the end of her second year when her world was sent rolling. Jake had been out on a mission, keeping them at bay. His squadron didn't come back. It tore Ben apart, she was devastated, and still hasn't gotten over it. It was around this time she was basically kicked out of the Academy. Coming to work drunk, violent and completely out of it is a big nono. She was given a second chance though but couldn't face getting in a Viper and hasn't been in one since. Instead she chose to fix things and became a Mechanic, she threw herself into it and has a strange innate ability to know whats up with the machines around her.
» There is nothing out of the ordinary around how Ben looks but she is nearly always getting glances in her direction. She carries herself with an almost uncrontrolled hostility, an aggression which sits in every line of lean body. Olive skin is flawed only by the stresses of her job and her lack of caring. Hands are work worn, rough and no more feminine than a builders. Body is lean muscle, well toned to keep her able enough drink however often softens certain parts and that is probably the most feminine thing you will see on her. Hair is a dark tumbling mess which falls roughly part her shoulders, it is usually left to get in her eyes, covering half of her face but when she's actually taken the effort to look presentable she will pull it back from her face, giving it a brush for once. If she actually did take the time with her apperance Ben wouldn't look half bad, she was the wide eyes everyone loves, the sensual lips which soften nicely when she smiles but if she was taking time to do her apperance she wouldn't be drinking so thats a no right there. Clothes wise Ben goes for comfort and much to the chargrin of her pristine mother who is all for the new fashions Ben has a love for old world clothes. Torn jeans, tees and tank tops, big hoodies which drown her and her very beloved boots. » While Ben probably does't look the most professional she is damn good at her job. She has an innate ability to figure things out and if she can't fix it the conventional way she'll just do it her way. A creative little so and so is Ben. Vipers are probably what she is best at just because she knows how they fly too, how it should feel to be in one, how they should respond to you. She is a strong personality which can be both a strength and a weakness. She is not afraid to say what she thinks, especially if the other person is wrong. Ben is a very loyal person, if you have garnered her trust you will have it until you no longer deserve it. She is protective to a T and will do anything for her friends. » A drunk. Her biggest flaw, biggest weakness. It started when her brother was considered dead. Family life had never been good for Ben, her mother looked upon her child with disdain. She was not the perfect little specimen her two sisters were so Ben was looked after by her brothers and fathers. Agressive, definitely. She would happily throw a punch and is all barely controlled hostility in most situations where she isn't in control. Although she isn't particularly bossy, she just has a leadership streak in her. She could be a good leader if she could get over her anger and drink problems. » Bisexual. Very openly bisexual. Ben keeps her sexuality on her sleeve. If she knows that a woman is straight she will have a lot of fun flirting with them, it won't particularly be serious but she would like to see them squirm. She's openly sexual, she has quite a vulgar mouth on her and it often runs away with her.
