Height; 5'10" Weight; around 155-160 lbs??? i'm guessing?? Visual; Short, scruffy, sandy-brown hair, grey eyes and sunkissed skin. He doesn't have any very distinguishable markings-- no scars or freckles. His hands are calloused and rough from handiwork, but that's about it. He may have arrived somewhat thinner than he is now, coming from a place where there wasn't a real abundance in food, but since he's been well-fed here and working on training as a swordsman, he's gained more muscle and become much stronger! His arms are more toned, and overall is more defined. He can hardly be considered beefy!
Fashion; Button-up sweaters/shirts, t-shirts, overalls and boots. He doesn't put much thought into his clothes and uses whatever he has. He sticks to simple things, and if a sweater or coat is a little oversized, that won't bother him. He still dresses similarly to what he did in canon, and there may even be a few tatters here and there. He wears whatever he can get, basically, sticks to neutral colors.
Demeanour; He walks stiffly, kind of has an odd gait to his pace, and he can vary from slouching at a slant to standing up straight depending on how he's feeling and hardly smiles. He tends to stand with his hands at hanging loosely at his sides or in his pockets. He can come across as very guarded and keeps a good distance between himself and anyone he's talking to, leaving no room for accidental shoulder-touching or any sort of contact, unless he's comfortable around them. Walking side-by-side with Ben can be a little funny, because he may not mind being close to someone at all, whereas with someone else, he'll create a fairly noticeable personal bubble. When he's angry, forget about personal space, it's completely lost to him. He'll get his face right into another person's if they've ticked him off and he's really trying to get his point across.
Aural;Southern, not too deep of a voice. He's more of a listener than a talker and is incredibly quiet; goes at a fairly easy pace. He sounds like he's from a poor part of town and uses "ain't" and plenty of double negatives. He's not easy to have a conversation with and can come across as blunt, rude or even mean, even though he may not intend it to be. When he's angry he speaks faster and with more intention, and he really doesn't hold back. However, when comfortable around a friend, he's very gentle and conversation can be a bit easier. It takes a while for him to warm up to someone, and even when he does, the difference between his comfort zone talk and discomfort talk has little distinction and it's hard to figure out.
Olfactory;No sorts of special smells, though he does bathe regularly (at least now he does, god forbid anyone passed him when he first arrived) with as little scented soaps as possible. He'll mostly smell of hay (he has six horses, okay), lingering cigarette smoke (though not recently since he hasn't visited the station), the outdoors, etc. Anything he's been exposed to for long periods of time. He doesn't bother with perfumes and someone should probably introduce the concept of deodorant to him.
Etc; he's capable of hugging somewhere in there ok gosh
