History Characters / BenDrowned

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: His last action before his supposed death? Smacking the thing that ''scares BEN shitless'' with his sword. Multiple times. It ends exactly like you would think.]]
** [[spoiler: See also his confrontations with Sarah; as per PoorCommunicationKills above; instead of explaining things to her while they had time, he opts to fight.]]

* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: She is killed by Jadusable at the end of The Showdown.wmv. Her status page at the Eternity Project's website shows that she's available for rebooting, meaning there's a chance that she can be brought back to life.]]
** [[spoiler: May or may not have been her ultimate fate; she's removed from World Alpha, but it's left ambiguous whether she's been put in some digital purgatory or outright erased.]]

* [[spoiler: EvilAllAlong]]: As revealed in "The End.wmv", [[spoiler: he's the true BigBad of the arc. The Father is but a rampant A.I. acting out in its twisted parameters; Matt is the one who wants to see the destruction of the world.]]

* [[spoiler: OmnicidalManiac]]: [[spoiler: Is the true villain of the Awakening arc. It's not The Father who wishes to plunge the world into darkness, it's him; The Father is merely the tool he's using to do so.]]

* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: Begs Jadusable to stop, to keep him from releasing and awakening the Father. Jadusable ignores his pleading [[KilledOffForReal and is eaten for his trouble]].]]

Ifrit's sister, though her relationship to the Moon Children cult is unknown. Might know what happened to the original Ben. [[spoiler: Mysteriously vanished after hearing "it counting outside [her] door". Presumed dead.]]

* GenreBlindness: "What's this? A random old man gave me a suspicious copy of ''Majora's Mask'' that has a rare cartridge color and no label? [[TooDumbToLive I think I'll play it!]] Though, to his credit, [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny the genre didn't really exist]] [[FollowTheLeader before he started it]] (or at least made it popular.)

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:''The Showdown.wmv'' reveals that The Father corrupted him after he got killed and digitized in ''THE FATHER.wmv''.]]
* CoDragons: [[spoiler:With the in-game Moon Children in the Awakening arc.]]

* FaceMonsterTurn: [[spoiler: After being eaten by The Father, Jadusable becomes digitized within the ''Majora's Mask'' cartridge itself, thus becoming a loyal follower of The Father and working with the Moon Children.]]

** NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: The spectrogram at the beginning of The Happy Mask Salesman.wmv contains a hidden line revealing that Jadusable is still alive. Sarah encounters him while trying to free the Moon Children, only to discover that he is now a loyal slave to The Father. She attempts to defeat him during ''The Showdown.wmv'', but is killed.]]

* SmugSnake: Seems to have become this after [[spoiler: joining The Father. He cockily taunts Sarah for the duration of their duel, and when she gets her first hit, Jad says 'that was your last freebie']]. It doesn't help [[spoiler: the fight is essentially a reskinned Dark Link encounter, who was considered obnoxiously hard to beat by many in the vanilla ''Ocarina of Time''. Jad even performs the infamous 'jump on Link's sword' ability whenever Sarah goes for a thrust]].

** As of "The End.wmv", [[spoiler: he's also revealed to be [[EvilAllAlong the true villain]] of the arc. He claims he wants to turn the world into a 'nightmare', though his motives for doing so are never really expained.]]

* TheHero: Appears to be our version of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]].

* SilentProtagonist: Apart from quiet breathing and grunting sounds, Player 2 doesn't utter a single word during the Awakening Arc. [[spoiler: It probably has to do with being an avatar of those participating in the ARG.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: At the end of it all, she manages to talk down The Father and tells it to protect the world. But in order to do so, it has to remove anomalies- including her. When she asks if the others she helped will know what happened, she's told they'll be reset and will never remember. She accepts this, and quietly goes to her end.]]

* PowerUpLetDown: [[spoiler: Despite being extremely useful, the Adult Link Mask becomes more of an inconvenience with every video. Sarah is unable to do most of the things Young Link and his other forms are able to. Not helping matters is that she can't take the mask off. This almost comes to bite her in the ass during the fight against Goht, where she had to rely on the Light Arrows and Rosa's healing to finish him off.]]

* NamesTheSame: Shares his name with the ARG's creator, Alex Hall. Also shares his name with VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'s protagonist Alex Mercer, who has some connection to the ARG through a video on Jadusable's account.

* NamesTheSame: Linked to a character of the same name from ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines''. She also coincidentally shares a name with the Rosa Sisters of ''Majora's Mask'''s Gorman Troupe. [[spoiler:Ironically, her in-game avatar is Romani]].

The cast of characters who populated the story of the creepypasta and AlternateRealityGame Ben Drowned. Please note that with the Awakening arc ongoing that this page's contents will be fluid as things change.

* UnreliableNarrator: [[spoiler: A deliberate example of one, misleading both Sarah and the [=ARG=]'s players on purpose.]]

* SwipperNoSwipping: [[spoiler:[[AIIsACrapshoot Turns out all he needed were new directives]] and the real BigBad was Matt.]]

* GenderBender: For some reason, he decided to take the form of a green-haired androgynous person that looks like an uncanny, realistic version of [[VideoGame/OcarinaOfTime Saria]] as his main form during the Awakening Arc. [[spoiler: It's one of the Moon Children.]]

* InfantImmortality: Horribly averted. He was 12 years old when he died. WordOfGod stated if he was still alive, he would have the same age as Jadusable.

* AmbiguousSituation: Vanished after the Moon Children Arc. [[spoiler: Shows up in the Awakening Arc, apparently having been digitized into the game at some point during the ten year hiatus]].

* GameBreakingBug / GlitchCharacter: His affect on the game world makes him these; his mere influence causes the game to break down, eventually reducing it to an endless void with fragmented levels and pieces of the world being the only thing left. [[spoiler: However, it turns out he was only doing this as part of the [[AIIsACrapshoot faulty programming]] that made him act as the villain of the piece.]]

* IdiotHero: He refused to stop playing even though he knew something was wrong. Whether he did this out of stupidity, because he was [[spoiler: too angry at BEN to listen to his pleas to stop]], or because [[spoiler: the Father was controlling him somehow]] is unclear and (at this point) probably irrelevant.

* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler: Ultimately The Father's true nature. He's actually neutral as far as his motives, claiming he is 'reflexive' in design, and since every 'hero' came after him, he naturally assumed they wanted him to be a villain. So he became one, [[OmnicidalManiac in the most dramatic way possible]].]]

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: The Truth.wmv reveals that the Father made him part of BEN.]]

* IAmLegion: [[spoiler: ''iseeyou'' implies that BEN is not only one person, but several Moon Children acting as one entity. More specifically, seventeen people: Twelve Moon Children represented by the Clock Town banker, Matt and five Moon Children represented by the in-game Moon Children, with the Majora Moon Child serving as the main leader.]]

* IAmLegion: [[spoiler: ''iseeyou'' implies that BEN is not only one person, but several Moon Children acting as one entity. ''The Truth.wmv'' confirms this.]]

* Irony: [[spoiler: As much as he used the inhabitants of the world as puppets, as a HiveMind he is essentially just a puppet for the beings within him, whoever happens to take control.]]

Five people [[spoiler:that once were part of BEN]] seen in the haunted cartridge that show allegiance to [[spoiler: the Father]]. They take the form of the in-game Moon Children.

* {{Adorkable}}: Surprisingly edges into this when Sarah resets the haunted cartridge to its pre-corruption 2010 state. He gushes about how he didn't think that was even possible and nerds out over the entire thing, revealing a bit more about the creation of the cartridge in the process.

Also known as Player 2. The second player avatar of the Awakening arc. She wakes up in Player 2's room on Day 14, [[spoiler: after he is killed by the Jailer]]. Shares a few of his tropes. Initially nameless, though is given a name on Day 21.
