Description
Ben didn’t have a very good start in life a few months after he was born. His mother seemed to love and care for him when she gave birth, raising him proper and providing what every growing pup needed. But when Ben grew old enough to fly on his own, his mother showed her true colors. When in the presence of others she was a warm and loving mother. But once alone with Ben, she was abusive and cruel. As it turned out, and revealing it without a care for Ben’s feelings, she never really wanted a child in the first place and that she saw him as nothing more than a burden on her own life. As the months passed, Ben faced cruel and harsh ‘punishments’ from his mother if he didn’t do exactly as he was told or if he even tried to stand up to her, resulting in him getting beaten for it. Once he reached his teens (he would be 16 in human years), Ben finally got the courage to speak to one of the other females while his mother was out hunting. But sadly, due to all the beatings and the abuse, Ben was terribly frightened at what his mother would do to him if she knew he told someone about her. Barely able to find his voice to speak, he tried his best to explain to the female.
Upon seeing some of the healed and fresh scratches on his face, she was quick to realize that he was being abused and comforted him when he broke down from the fear of his mother’s anger. She didn’t hesitate in alerting the elders of what was happening within the roost, and they assured that when Ben’s mother returned, they will deal out a punishment of their own.
That punishment…was exile. Never before had Ben seen such a mixture of fear, anger and desperation on his mother’s face when she was forcefully kicked out of the roost and chased off by several females.
Free from her abuse, Ben was adopted by another female who had lost her pup after she gave birth. She wasn’t just any female. Growing up, she acted like a second mother to him when he needed comfort after another beating, or when he was depressed and needed a shoulder to lean on. No longer alone, Ben grew much closer to her like a true son, and as did she like a true mother.
The abuse he endured from his mother has caused him to be slightly antisocial and extremely nervous to be around others. He’s also quite sensitive when he’s scolded for doing something wrong. Sometimes, even if someone’s anger isn’t aimed at him, he’ll begin to cry out of fear that he will be punished and beaten again.
Despite this, Ben is a kind and friendly bat and very shy when it comes to meeting new faces or making friends. Bartho and Shade are his two first friends he’s ever made in the colony. And just like Shade, he thinks of Bartho like an older brother. Though there are some he steers clear of. One in particular being Chinook, after seeing him bully Shade because of his size.

Another bio/reference sheet for my most recent Silverwing OC!
I changed his original name from Benen to just regular Ben.
I plan to make more of these bios, but they will be for the Animal Shelter bats I drew last month.
Hope you all like this one!

Have you thought of adding this guy to your Journey of a lifetime story?
I think he would be good in that.

(I figured maybe we can start off that 'bully murderer' rp here.

Alright, take your time buddy.

Haven City High. Regarded as the best school in the country. Just behind the school lay the college, as well. The campus itself looked rather nice and welcoming. Inside was the same. At least...to those who didn't see the negative parts of it. Deep within it's busy halls, a certain Brightwing teen was knce again caught in the clutches of the school's Sinister Six. The name was given to six students who often caused trouble and preyed on any student who happened to cross their path. Unfortunately, Denever was their 'favorite'.
But the Brightwing was never alone at times. He had a few friends. Gabriel, Riviera and Angel in the high school. And Bartho in the college area. But it always at these times that they would usually be busy with classes before the lunch bell rang.
Once again, he was being harassed just outside his next class. If he was lucky, they would only push and shove. But other times...they'd beaten him.
(Would you like to play one of the bullies or two? I can play a few of the others as well.

(Hmm, sure. I can already imagine one being named Jack. Everybody I've ever known with that name has been a ******** to me. Also, one final reply to conclude the other RP is needed. Or I'll feel incomplete since it just sort of stopped.)
Denever: Oh come on! please! I'm late for class already!
Bully 1: So? *Smacks him. As they hit him and tear up his work it catches Angel's attention, who is getting a drink of water from a near by fountain.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As soon as Angel hears the commotion, she follows it. Walking past Gabriel, he spots her and quickly follows. He knows what's happening if Angel is in a rush.
Gabe: Talk to you later. *he quickly follows her* Is it Denever?
Angel: It's those stupid bullies again! They never leave him alone! C'mon!
They turn the corner and see the bullies abusing him. One of them, a female, smirks when she sees the pair.
Alaina: Oh look, it's the twerp's bodyguards. *she giggles cruelly, kicking Denever's bag away*
Gabe: Hey! Why can't you just leave our friend alone?! Don't you all have somewhere better to be?!
Bully 2: Beat it, you two. *a male Silverwing* This doesn't concern you.
Angel: It does if it's our friend you're always preying on!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: Ow!! *He yelps when the female punches him square in the gut.* oohhhh *He moans in pain.*
Bully 1: *Goes through his bag and pulls out a few books and tears them up in front of him.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gabe: *a furious scowl comes across his face when seeing his best friend in pain* HEY!! *he runs at them, but quickly being blocked by two of the bullies* URGH!! Let him go or else-!!
Bully 2: Or else what? You'll fight us? *he sneers* There's more of us than there are of you. So...how's about you stay out of our business? Or else YOU and your Brightwing friends will really get it?
But before any more threats can be made, the female looks down the hall. Her face turns into a look of apprehension and slight fear.
Alaina: Guys?
Standing at the end of the hall: Bartho.
And he looks just as upset as Gabe.
Bartho: What the hell are you all doing? *he calls to them in anraised voice*
Bully 4: Crap...*he mutters*
Bartho was an exception when he was around, as he was the only one who would truly get physical if they went any further. Also, he was the only one brave enough to go to the principal about matters like this. Also...they still remembered how he'd put Jack in a painful armlock.
(I was thinking that Bartho would be one to take some sort of self defense course and use it to his advantage to protect his friends.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: *Looks to the bully.* Crap is what you'll be if you don't let me go!
Bully 1: SHUT UP!! *Slaps him really hard in the face, giving Denever a nosebleed.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bartho quickly steps forward and grabs the bully's wrist, wuickly turning him around and twisting his arm behind his back, forcing him to his knees in pain.
Bartho: *glares at the rest of the bullies* Do we really have to go through this again?! Let our friend go or your 'friend' here goes home with a broken elbow!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bully 1: Fine, leave him.
Denever: *When the female lets him go he collapses to the ground, unmoving but groaning.* Uuuuhhhh owww
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bartho let's go of the bully, Gabe and Angel coming over. The female Brightwing checks on him, rubbing his shoulder to try and soother him, fixing his shirt. Gabe and Bartho pick up his work and bag.
Angel: Are you okay, Den'?~
Gabe: Assholes. *he mutters, looking off where they left* Why don't find someone else to pick on?
Bartho: It's how they are, Gabe. *he said, placing Denever's books into his bag* They go after whoever's the weakest.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: uuuuhhhh *Moans in pain, his nose bleeding badly.* I-I'm n-not weak, I j-just don't want to fight them...uuuhhhh *Pulls one of his teeth out that was knocked loose.* C-can we all come to my p-place after school? *Wants to lighten the mood.*
(I'd imagine his adoptive parents wouldn't care about him here but I imagine him having a cool treehouse that they hang out at.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Angel: Oh, Denever!~ *she says in shock, quickly getting out a tissue for him, holding it to his nose to soak up the blood*
Gabe: *he smiles and pats Denever's shoulder* Sure, buddy. I'd never turn down an invitation.
Bartho: If you'd like, we could stop for an ice cream or smoothie. *he adds, smiling to comfort him* My treat.
(I like that idea of them having a hangout place for after school.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: *He holds it to his nose.* Thanks. Please come with us Bartho, I don't feel safe without you. *They all go up to the large clubhouse/treehouse Denever has in his backyard. Its a big one room treehouse that can fit them all. He flicks a switch and it lights up with Christmas lights set up all over the place inside it. Giving it a nice warm lighting since its nighttime.* Glad you all could come.
(I imagine it would be like your typical 1980's movie clubhouse with lighting and comics in it and some junk food in it as well. X3)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Sounds interesting. They probably went for a smoothie along the way to Denever's hangout. I'll play the killer later on. It'll be so good to see one of Denever's bullies get their brutal justice.)
Gabe: No problem, Den'. You look like you needed some company. *he said, sitting against the wall of the treehouse*
Angel: It's nice to spend timw with you here~ *she said with a smile*
Bartho: Same here. It's much better than my lonely apartment in the city. *he said with a chuckle*
They all knew that Bartho had an apartment of his own. And surprisingly, he preferred to hang out with them than at his apartment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Would it be a supernatural killer? Jason Voorhees type? or maybe it could be a Freddy Krueger type killer who kills them in their sleep. Like maybe that could Be Angel's dream form?)
Denever: I'm just glad you care about me, I feel so alone. *Walks to a corner of the big tree house and pulls out a wooden box and opens it facing away from them.* I've been considering bringing this around with me lately...and well I may have to...those bullies won't leave me be. *He pulls a flick knife out of the box and flicks it open.* Should I?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(I was thinking it would be more of a physical, living killer. Possibly another bat who had been bullied like Denever, and had been pushed over the edge and now finds the chance to go on a murderous hunt for those who hurt Denever.)
Gabe and Bartho's eyes widen when they see the knife.
Gabe: Den', are you crazy? *he says in a shushed tone so the Brightwing's adoptive parents don't hear him* If you bring that school and you're caught with it-!
Bartho: Gabe, cool it. *he says softly* Denever, I'm sorry but...I agree with him. Even if you kept it hidden, what would happen if one of those bullies gt ahold of it? You'd be putting yourself in even more trouble and danger.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Ah I see.)
Denever: I know, but I've had it. What else can I do? *He pulls out small bags of chips from the box and tosses one to each of them.* I just don't feel like living here anymore...*He sees them all giving him horrified looks.* No not that! I mean move cities. But I would have no friends like you guys...*looks saddened
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Well, it could be a supernatural killer, I guess. Maybe a spirit of another teenager who committed suicide from the same bullies two years before?)
Bartho: *he looks down at the chips, then sets them down beside him* I guess...there is no other option. Bring it along to school if you'd like. But! Keep it hidden! Don't takenit out unless you need to!
Angel: Tomorrow's the anniversary of the day when...you know. *Bartho sighs, knowing what she means* I've noticed they tend to leave others alone during that time. *she says softly* You should be fine tomorrow.
(Maybe Ben would fit the role as a spiritual entity getting vengeance on the bullies. Maybe the next bit is where the leader of the bullies is the first to go? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Ben would be pretty good for that. Does he come back like a zombie? or is he a spirit in their dreams?)
Denever: *Shudders at the mention of it.* I hope I'm fine tomorrow. *He hugs her tightly.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Possibly a zombie, but with more intelligence and not a mindless monster. He would give the same brutal abuse he had gotten from the bullies. Only this time, it's more fatal for the bullies. He wouldn't be rotted either. Just normal looking but with the blank clouded over eyes to show that he's dead.)
Bartho: Let's just relax for now, okay? *he says, smiling* Forget about today's events.
Further away, near the woods of the city, the leader of the bullies was on his way home from a late night out. Unaware of what was about to befall on him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Oh. Sounds pretty cool. I'm really mad right now, so sorry if that affects what I'm typing because I just lost 3 months worth of video footage for my short films.)
Bully 1: *He whistles to himself whilst listening to music on an ipod as he walks through a cemetery on his way home. The scene looking like this images.forwallpaper.com/files/… *
Denever: I'll try. *He shakily opens up a can of root beer and chugs it down.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Oh, damn. That's too bad. 
As he casually makes his way through the cemetery, he fails to notice a shadowy figure silently walk ahead of him, far off to his right side.
The figure wears a black jacket, dark pants and shoes. It also wears a hood and mask to hide it's face. It quietly picks up a shovel planted in a mound of dirt by an empty grave. Taking position behind a tall tombstone, the figure patiently waits until the bully gets closer.
Once he's close enough...the figure strikes. Swinging the shovel, flat-sided, into his face, sending a dull shock of pain through his snout, and sending him staggering back.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Yeah, I feel like smashing something. DX)
Bully 1: AUGH!! *Collapses to the ground in shock.*
Denever: *They sit around watching an old horror movie together in the club house.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The figure doesn't stop there. With the bully down, he pulls the shovel back and slams him again in the back with the flat side of the metal end, pulling back and hitting him again in the legs.
The unknown bat hits him across the face, hard enough to break off the shovel end, leaving him with the wooden shaft. The bully can feel a warm liquid trickle down his cheek. And his left eye stings lightly. He tries to crawl away, anger and confusion going through his thoughts of who this bat was. He had the nerve to attack him by surprise?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bully 1: LEAVE ME ALONE!! *Grabs a rock and throws it at the unknown bat.*
Denever: You guys enjoying the movie? or should I put on something else. *Munches on chips with the others while they're all up late watching a horror film.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The rock hits the bat in the face.
It barely reacts to the hit. Instead, it only stomps toward the defenceless teen, and raises the now wooden baton threateningly.
Gabe: *he smiles as he sips his cola* Nah, this is fine. I always like watching these classic horror films.
Angel: Same here~
Bartho: *he munches on a chip* Besides, we don't have any assignments due tomorrow. So what if we're a little tired tomorrow? It's worth it to spend time with you, Den'.
Back at the cemetery, the bat is brutally beating the bully into a sobbing and pleading AND bleeding heap. The broken shovel handle served as a good weapon. The bat stops, calmly 'glaring' down at the bully. The whole time, the bully screamed at him to stop, crying and yelping in pain between blows.
He was hurting bad. His left eye was bloodshot after a hit landed there. Some of his teeth ached and bled, giving them a tinge of red. His arms were sore when he tried to block the handle's blows.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bully 1: Augh!! please!! stop!! *He begs as the bat pulls him out to a shed and comes back out with a chainsaw.* AAAH! NO!!
Denever: *He looks to Bartho with a smile.* Thanks, it means a lot to me that you think that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(I was thinking that Ben would use the broken sharp end of the handle to finish off the bully. Impale him in the eye perhaps? Possibly just bringing out the chainsaw to torment him more?)
The bat brings the chainsaw over to the struggling teen. Revving it up, he pushes it to full power, the noise almost deafening to the bleeding teen's ears. He holds it dangerously close near the teen's head. Then raising it up high, as if preparing to run the shredding blades through his skull.
He slams it down...right beside the bully's head.
Standing up slowly, the hooded attack goes back to pick up the broken handle. Coming over, he lifts a hand up to his face. Removing the mask and hood.
The bully immediately recognizes the dead-eyed and familiar face.
But...it wasn't possible. This bat...he died over a year ago.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Ahh, In movies like Friday the 13th Jason always uses whatever he finds, I guess that's sort of what Ben is doing.)
Bully 1: YOU!! YOU'RE DEAD!! HOW??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(You mentioned the bame Jack once. Is that the name of the bully that's about to be killed or is it one of the other ones?)
The bat doesn't answer. He only silently grasps the handle, sharp end facing down, and holds it over his head. The bully can only give one more fearful plea for his life, before the bat brings down the handle.
The next morning...
Bartho: *thinking in his head as he yawns, walking through the hallways of the college* Maybe staying up late wasn't such a good idea.
As he walks through to his first class, a conversation catches his attention.
"The cemetary caretaker found him earlier this morning."
"I heard! Who do you think did it?"
In the high school building, Denever is making the same trip. Much to his surprise and relief, none of the bullies had made themselves known to him. Usually, they would show up to harass in him in the mornings. But he didn't see them anywhere. But he too, despite how tired he was, he could hear a couple of students talking in hushed voices. But he too could still hear them.
"He was one of the guys who always picked on that Brightwing kid."
"I'll be honest, I always thought that bully went too far. I was just too afraid to say anything. Did they say what happened?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Lets say yes, his name was Jack because I have my own reasons... )
Denever: *When he walks through the cafeteria to get himself a small breakfast he notices 2 tables of bats giving him odd glances. He never got attention from others aside from Bartho, Angel and Gabriel.* Weird. *He says softly to himself and leaves after getting his food and notices Angel running up to him.* Why is everybody looking at me like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Angel: Denever! *she pants lightly* You...! You won't...believe...! What's going...!
Soon, even Gabe and Bartho come running down the hall, both of them with urgent looks on their faces.
Gabe: There...! Den', there's...! They found...!
Bartho: *he catches his breath first, before looking up at the male Brightwing* Denever? You're not going to believe what I heard at the college.
Heading to the library for more privacy from prying eyes and more odd glances.
Bartho: Den', remember one of those bullies? Of the Sinister Six, going around the school? Well...I heard from a couple of students that they had just found...well...the cemetary caretaker found...*he takes a deep breath, trying to make his words clear* It...it was one of those bullies. He was murdered.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: *Looks shocked yet deep inside feels slight relief.* What?? how? when??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bartho: I'm not sure. I only heard a few bits and pieces here and there, from what the other students heard or saw at the cemetery. Apparently, he was...beaten to death. Sometime last night.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: *He can't say he feels sorry for the bully because he suffered from him everyday.* Well he deserved it. *He sees them all staring at him in surprise.* What? he did!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gabe: *he opens his mouth to say something, but then closes, deciding to stay quiet*
Bartho: I wouldn't say that out loud if I were you, Den'.
Angel: That's what I wanted to tell you, too. I heard some of the students saying that YOU might've had something to do with it. *this immediately gets Denever remembering the odd looks he got in the cafeteria.* I told them that you were with us the entire time. But...I'm not sure if they actually believed me.
Gabe: I told them the same thing. The other bullies already heard what happened. That's...probably why they're keeping their distance from you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: *Looks confused, unsure to feel either powerful or powerless.* They're afraid of me now? I never got along with the usual crowd so I guess most things are normal around here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bartho: It might only be temporary. *he says cautiously* They might go back to their usual ways once they find out and the authorities clarify that it wasn't you.
Gabe: True. *he looks back to Denever* You best stay on your toes.
A quiet ringtone sounds in Bartho's pocket. He takes it out.
Bartho: Oh! It's my dad! Hang on. *he answers and puts the phone to his ear* Dad? Hey. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm in the library with my friends. *his face is normal as he talks* How...How did it happen? *he stays silent for a few seconds, before his face seems to pale* Oh...Oh, god. That...That's just...horrible. Yeah. Yeah, okay. No, he was with us the entire night. We were at his house last night.
Gabe and Angel look to Denever, wondering what Bartho's father was talking about.
Bartho: Yeah. Okay. Okay, thanks, Dad. 'Kay. Bye. *he hangs up and sighs deeply, his hands shaking lightly*
(I'd imagine Bartho's adoptive dad works as a police officer or investigator in this universe. And his father trusts him enough, and knows he's mature enough to hear these kind of things.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: Well? what am I in trouble for?
(Interesting concept actually.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bartho: No, you're okay, it's...the police took you off their list of suspects. The, uhh, coroners at the cemetery said by the time he died, it was way before we even left your place. *he takes another deep breath* My dad said that...whoever murdered that bully...took their time with him. By his condition...they made him suffer before...finishing him off by...jamming a sharp broken shovel handle...into...his head.
Angel: Oh...gosh...*she whispers, sickened and shocked by the description*
Gabe: *he only looks down at the table* Damn...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: *He bites his bottom lip in uncomfortableness.* Should we go to the funeral? I know I hated him and still do, but we should pay some respect for him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bartho: It's all up to you. Whether you want to or...not. Actually...it may not be a good idea. The mother. You just never know if she's like some of the students here in the school. Probably twice as worse. She may or may not see you as the one responsible for her son's murder. But...possibly...the last time I met her, she said that she was sorry for her son's behavior. That was after the first time I put him in an armlock. She found me and asked if he did anything to you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: Oh. In that case we don't go. *Looks lost for words. Then theres a sudden BANG and the library doors fly open as the sinister...5 enter the room, walking towards them.* Oh no, Angel! hide me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gabe and Bartho stand up and put themselves in front of the two Brightwings.
Bartho: Hey hey hey! Slow down! *he says, hoping that the bullies aren't there for vengeance* He was with us the entire time last night!
Gabe: Why don't you just leave him alone?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Denever: *He tries to not move, pressing himself against Angel's chest for protection, her warmth comforting to him. He slips his hand carefully into his pocket and holds onto the flick knife. Just in case.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bartho: Seriously! What do you want? Our friend had nothing to do with what happened to yours!
Gabe: Just buzz off and bother someone else for a change!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bully 3: Whos to say he didn't go out for revenge?? you tell em' Alaina!
Denever: *Shivers in fear.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alaina: We go after that little snot everyday. Yes, that is true. But! How do WE know that it wasn't HIM that did our friend in at the cemetery?! A very dick move to go after him when he doesn't expect it! *she says with a noticeable snarl*
Bartho: Look, my dad is part of the police force! And I'm not saying that in a bragging way! The coroners at the sight said that by the time you 'friend' died? It was waaaay before we even left Denever's place! We were with him the entire time!
Gabe: And who the hell are YOU to say that sneaking up on others is wrong?! We still remember that time you beat up Denever in the back of the school!
