Ben Tennyson (F-01)

Ben Tennyson, of designated dimension F-01, and travels the galaxy as a intergalactic mercenary alongside the Kevin and Gwen of his dimension. As per usual, he is a Earth-born Human, and wielder of the Omnitrix.

Appearance
Common among all doppelgangers of Ben Tennyson, Ben retains these traits: Shaggy brown hair, green eyes, pale skin, and quite skinny, though shows some muscle build. His hair is spiked up a tad in the back, similar to how it was when he was 10.

Back to his green eyes. Though retained, his left eye was damaged in a blaster fight at a young age. In place of the eye currently, is a bright green, cybernetic replacement. As well as a small scar underneath it.

His clothing attire consist of a pair of blue jeans, the same black-striped white shirt from childhood that has clearly begun to tear. And completed with a jacket composed of a green, alien hide. On his left wrist, rest the prototype Omnitrix, pre-recalibration phase.

Personality
This variation of Ben has retained his childish and cocky demeanor over the years, complete with a devil-may-care attitude. Although not outright heroic, he is good natured deep down, especially when being pressed about it. He is definitely caring about Kevin and Gwen. This evident when he displays guilt over being responsible for Kevin's mutation.

Good nature aside, Ben does have a selfish side to him, craving money for his work, and gains a thrill during battle. This is beneficial to his job as a skip-tracer. That said, it is admitted he is a better person than his fellow skip-tracers and bounty hunters.

Morality and work aside, Ben deeply misses his Grandpa Max, his passing being the catalyst to Ben's behavior. His missing of Max is currently in the form of attachment to the Rust bucket, Damage it, and he'll react violently...oh, and protective of Gwen, too.

Powers and Abilities
As per tradition of Ben Tennyson, he wields the Omnitrix; therefore can turn into aliens and access their powers. He has acquired quite the playlist over the years. Over the years, Ben has become quite the expert of an improvised fighter when it comes to his alien forms, even multitasking with different alien abilities. His combat skills are improved a bit due to Gwen teaching him "a few tricks" of her martial arts training. A unique aspect of his combat skills being whenever he mimics a technique from a video game.
 * Being a skip-tracer, Ben has clearly become an expert tracker, locating criminals and targets across the stars.


 * Multi-linguist - Thanks to the AI protocols of the Omnitrix, almost all of Ben's encounters with alien life has been translated into English, and therefore understood.
 * Expert Pilot - While Kevin and Gwen are also capable of piloting the converted Rustbucket, Ben is the primary pilot of it. Skilled in flying it through many systems, asteroid fields, etc. helps that the controls are modeled after video game systems.

Weaknesses

 * A universal weakness among most Ben Tennyson(s) being his dependence on his Omnitrix. Whenever it times out in middle of battle, he is temporarily left vulnerable and dependent on his own skills for the time being.
 * Unlike any of his alien forms, Ben is not able to breathe in space, and thus relies on an old-age Plumber Suit the crew has on hand.
 * Ben may be skilled in a brawl, but he is not as skilled with a firearms. Any precise hits he does make is purely luck.
 * The worst thing at times being his attitude, making it difficult for him to work with others. Kevin and Gwen merely get along with him due to years of friendship and familiarity.

Background
In this dimension, the timeline initially had a similar start as Mainstream Ben did in childhood. Except...Grandpa Max had died of a heart attack during the beginning half of the summer trip. Ben and Gwen were sent back home early. When their families reacted badly to their newfound powers, they ran away from home. A few events later, they met and befriend Kevin Levin. A few more events later, they ventured into space.

Years, they had become well-known, empowered "skip-tracers", tracking down targets across the galaxy for their bounties. Over the years, they have been listed bounties themselves, especially being listed as targets by Vilgax and his reigning empire. But they have been able to fight off any foolish hunters, and developed a reputation of respect.

Though details are undisclosed, Ben and his Omnitrix are still responsible behind Kevin's mutated form, the primary difference being the circumstance was coessential. Ben merely hints at it being "an intense fight" and "being cornered", that Kevin was forced to absorb from Ben's Omnitrix. Though Kevin bares no grudge, and even enjoys the form, Ben feels some guilt towards the outcome.

Many events may have happened in the past, yet undisclosed details. Such as the mention of Ben and the others being hired to topple the Incursean government. Or having a few double-crossings with Vulkanus. Similarities, yet differences due to the drastic change occurring in their childhood.

Family

 * Gwen Tennyson -  Ben's cousin, one of his partners, and pretty much his all-around sisterly figure. Due to their initial history, they had started off with a rivalry and still do bicker at times. But after the passing of Grandpa Max and following events, they had learned to bond and get along. Ben agrees when saying that Gwen is the voice of reason in their group. Ben would lay down his life to protect Gwen, for she is the last bit of family he has at his side.
 * Grandpa Max - The inspirational grandfather of Ben's life that sadly, had passed too soon due to a heart attack early in the summer trip. When he had passed, Ben and Gwen were emotionally devastated. It was his passing, alongside their parents' reactions, that had become the catalyst for Ben and Gwen's behavior.
 * Carl and Sandra - Ben's parents, who hadn't meant to drive him away, but it was already too late. When Grandpa Max had passed from his heart attack, Ben and Gwen were sent to their homes. Neither home responded well to the revelation of the children's new powers. Carl and Sandra were shocked and attempted to shun the use of the Omnitrix out of Ben's life. But Ben was not one for having that, and ran away, followed by Gwen and a similar turn of events. Carl and Sandra wish for Ben to return home, but it has to have happened.

Friends

 * Kevin Levin, aka Kevin Omega - Ben's best, one of his partners, as well as Gwen's boyfriend. Unlike the Mainstream dimensions, this Ben and Gwen had yet to have come across Kevin before the events of Grandpa Max's passing. After running from home, they met and befriended young Kevin on the streets. The three pretty much became partners in crime. Eventually, their choices would take them to the stars, where they would become "skip-tracers". After an intense battle forced Kevin to absorb Ben's Omnitrix and mutate, Ben feels guilt. Despite of Kevin actually thriving in this form. Despite such, they are absolute comrades, almost like brothers.

Love Interests

 * The multitude of women in the galaxy... Admitting, Ben has approached the occasional female that has sparked his interest, despite the circumstance of her being of another species. This is primarily assisted by the circumstance of Ben traveling the stars before even approaching puberty. Ben may have a charm to attract most alien girls with, but simply lacked the capability to maintain a serious and stable relationship.

Other

 * Vilgax - As if a cosmic tradition, Ben is at odds with Vilgax since childhood. Due to circumstance, this Vilgax was never defeated, yet never acquired the Omnitrix due to Ben and crew constantly slipping from his forces. As of current, Vilgax runs a galaxy-wide empire from Vilgaxia to ten other worlds conquered, yet is constantly rivaled by the genocidal force of the Highbreed. In meantime, he currently tries to handle the political matters at hand, yet spare the occasional bounty hunter to go after Ben.
 * Azmuth - Due to circumstance of this dimension, Ben and Azmuth have never met. And Azmuth does not like that Ben simply uses the Omnitrix for an amoral lifestyle, instead of important matters like halting the Highbreed. Similar to Vilgax, Azmuth attempts to track Ben down and retrieve his Omnitrix. Though he can track Ben down by the Omnitrix, Ben and co. have put up quite the resistance.

Trivia

 * Ben's childish behavior is primarily due to him never really moving on from his childhood.
 * Whenever in battle, Ben tends to shout the phrase, "Rikki-tikki-tavi!", which is a reference to a 1894 short story by Rudyard Kipling. 
 * Ben tries to explain this as he heard of the story in English at school the previous year, and liked the title enough to try converting it to a catch phrase.
 * Ironically enough, Ben is the one obsessively protective over his vehicle, rather than Kevin; This evident by his behavior towards the spacecraft converted Rustbucket.
 * Following the theme of this dimension, Ben, and others, is held back by variable of his past. Not only is Ben kept to the prototype Omnitrix, but he also had never matured over the years.
 * Current bounty on Ben and others: 6,000,000 taydens
