Character Bio

My character is called Ben Bradley. He is 19 years old, 6ft and is a White American. He currently lives in Detroit in a Penthouse in the middle of the city. Ben is physically fit and strong with big muscles. He has a squared jaw, a deep voice and his eyes are a speciality as they change colour depending on his mood.

His day to day life consists of playing for a professional American Football team called Detroit Lions. Having such a good job means he earns £300,000 per week. He has a girlfriend who he lives with called Tina. Ben is a very confident character who sometimes lets his emotions get in the way of his work. Ben also has to maintain a healthy diet in order to keep fit. He eats mostly protein foods such as chicken and fish.

Ben’s emotions are hard to control due to his troubled childhood. He lost his mother when he was 9 years old and grew up with his father. He went to both elementary, secondary and high school. Then he was scouted for an amateur American football team. He then went on to play for Detroit Lions. His biggest fear is any harm coming to his family especially his girlfriend as she is the only female in his life.

Ben also has an alias called Blaze. His aim is to keep the world safe. In order for him to become this person he presses a button on his Rolex watch. This puts his suit, helmet and cape on. The suit is all black aside from his logo which is red. The logo also appears on the helmet. The boots, gloves, cape, belt and logo are all red to stand out from the dull black suit. Blaze has super powers which include the ability to set his hands on fire when fighting, fly, super strength and colour changing eyes. He is also a master in mixed martial arts which comes in handy for fighting.
