Character Information
Character Name: Ben Hargreeves
Played By: Justin Min
Original Canon: The Umbrella Academy

Personality: Ben is the thing that held the siblings together. The kind one. He’s the one who got along with everyone, looked up to everyone, and is also very protective of them all. He’s caring and friendly and tries to find the good in everyone, even when that someone is bossy or a dick.

He’s a bit of a bookworm who loves reading and research. He’s a nerd in that regard, rather reading at the dinner table than to goof off. The library is his favorite place. He’s very much into following the rules and what dad says, but he’s also a bit of a joker, on the down low. Because of his ā€˜follow the rules’ and ā€˜supportive’ nature a lot of the time, small jokes or pranks (as a kid) would be blamed on someone else entirely.

Even though they are all of the same age, he has that ā€˜little brother’ vibe to him. Enthusiastic and a bit naive. He is willing to do what he can to be noticed and make their father (and to an extent, Number One) proud of him. Even after his death he felt that Luther would want to make sure they were all okay and on track, believing in Number One, even as the proof stacked up against him.

Ben is kind, reliable, and dependable. He’s a good guy with a heart of gold, willing to put everyone ahead of him.

Abilities & Skills:
  • Special Abilities; Eldritch Horrors from under his skin, generally controlled from belly.
  • Skills; Besides standard fighting and endurance skills taught by Father as well as book smarts, Ben has fair control over the tentacles he can summon from under his skin.


Childhood: Ben tended to want to get Fathers approval (as well as One’s) for most everything he did, and always felt disappointed when he didn’t receive it. He tried hard to be a good kid, reading, doing extra studies, training hard as possible and so on, but generally it was just not enough. He was enthusiastic and a bit naive, so it was easy for Father to manipulate him into doing just about anything.

He’s the sibling most likely to have his nose stuck in a book. Seems to like education but also goofing off, which made him easy to get along with for several groups of siblings.

Sometimes I like to play that the reason he died was because Father pushed him to summon something larger than the tentacles from under his skin. He did, but it took him with him or killed him in some way that was ā€˜horrible’. He was 17 when he died.

Present Occupation: Ghost
Present Residence: Where ever Klaus is

Anything else we should know? In order to make him playable with others I would like to either do something that brings him back (be it Five or time shenanigans or whatnot) OR I’d like for Klaus’ manifesting him that one time to have effected him in a way that he can manifest at will around others.
