Ben Tennyson (Earth-2099)

Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, otherwise known as Ben Tennyson, is the titular protagonist of Ben 10: Omnitrix Unleashed.

Appearance
Ben is slightly short and skinny for a fifteen year old, but he shows a lean figure and a well-toned build due to playing soccer a lot. He has brown unkempt hair hanging over his forehead and green eyes.

He wears a black shirt with a green stripe running down the middle of it, with a green collar and cuffs. Ben also wears military green cargo pants, with pockets at the knees and black and white shoes. Ben occassionally wears a white hoodie with green stripes on both arms and a green 10 on the right side.

Personality
Ben is cocky and arrogant, and sometimes immature. He has a tendecy to crack jokes, even in the midsts of a fight, and can get a bit full of himself. He also loves the spotlight, and is in many cases overconfident.

One of Ben's more well known traits is his humor which he inherited from his paternal grandmother, Verdona. Ben often makes jokes about situations even when he's in a near-death situation, either to relieve himself from the stress or to hide his fears. He openly mocks his opponents so they lower their guard out of anger and are vulnerable to his attacks.

Despite his immaturity, Ben is caring and heroic, willing to sacrifice himself if needed. He can adapt his attitude when called for, becoming more responsible and mature. Ben is occasionally shown to have great leadership skills, though he's openly stated that he prefers to work alone despite his affiliations with the Plumbers.

Pre-Series
Ben grew up in Bellwood, near his cousin, Gwen Tennyson. They both attended Bellwood Elementary, where Ben was bullied by two other students: Cash and J.T. He had enjoyed soccer as a child and began to play it during elementary school, signing up for his middle school team when he attended it. Ben also took a karate class alongside Gwen.

He seems to have a strained relationship with his parents due to something happening prior to the events of Omnitrix Unleashed.

Ben went to the petting zoo where he had saw an octopus, which frightened him and developed a phobia thanks to that event. Ben went on to go to high school, and during that time period a new girl had moved into Bellwood, Julie.

Powers and Abilities
Ben has taken a karate class alongside his black belt cousin, Gwen, and developed hand-to-hand combat skills and earned a black belt. He's able to use his surroundings around him well and can adapt to a situation easily. He's improvised a unique and crafty fighting style that uses his speed and intelligence along with his combat skills to defeat an opponent.

Ben is also shown to be smart, possessing an above average intelligence. He maintains a 3.71 GPA or an A- average in school, despite finding Chemistry his weakest subject. In the midsts of a fight, Ben can make a strategy on the go and is shown to be a strategist on many occassions.

He also has a photographic memory and can remember conversations from months ago.

Ben is ambidextrous and cross-dominant, able to use tools and weapons with both hands in human and alien form.

Ben is also the wielder of the Omnitrix, modifying his genetic makeup in order to turn into various alien forms. He can only transform into ten aliens currently. Despite only having the Omnitrix for a short time, Ben is evidently skilled in using the device, and is shown on many occassions to use aliens based on the situation he's in.

Weaknesses
Despite Ben's skills, whenever the Omnitrix times out he's left powerless until he can wait long enough for it to recharge. He also gains the alien's weaknesses that he transforms into, and the natural biological behavior of the selected alien may overwhelm Ben and cause a change in his behavior.

Ben doesn't know all of the functions of the Omnitrix, and is still learning how to use them. He discogvers new features accidentally, which sometime causes a lot of damage.

Ben often has a short attention span, and may blank out sometimes. He's also a teenager with a lot to learn, and is evidently impulsive and reckless, causing a lot of irrational moves.
