Description

Benjamin, The Banner Bandit
Given Name: Benjamin
Powers: Garbage Mimicry; Trash Swimming; Underwater Senses; Stench Generation; Body Storage; Two extendable, worm-like appendages that it uses for arms; Enhanced Polearm Proficiency using a flagpole with the flag attached.
Equipment: A flagpole and flag that depicts the emblem of "The Crownbreakers", which he personally desecrated after taking it after "The Battle of Rossen's Street". However, his act of desecration has somehow granted the banner the ability to increase the morale of all near-by Basura and allies of the Basura who look upon it.

Origin
(--"
Benjamin is a Can-Type Basura who considers himself an intellectual, as while he hasn't had formal education, what he trades, sells and reads in excess are books, with his favorites being books on biology, social science and philosophy. He has a tendency to have scheduled talks at Tosher's Market to give different themed seminars about topics such as philosophy and with the occasional aid of Dr. Magdalene, lessons about the other lifeforms in The Super Sargasso Sea and how one should best confront, or more often, best avoid them. Other people are allowed to pitch in their point of view and they can partake in a debate with Benjamin. Though Benjamin would have one day where things were about to get really rough.

Street wars between Crime Bosses and their respective gangs are an occasional event in The Ever-Changing City, there is one that is more notable then the others, and that is due to a new gang that came from beyond The City's border. A group of 700 black & red clad individuals, each equipped with a different weapon and shield and some bearing a red flag depicting a crown crossed out, have started a rampage that mostly targeted places of commerce and strangely enough, random trash cans. However, the later also applies to The Basura, who were also targeted by this gang, who declared themselves "The Crownbreakers", an army of "Revolutionaries" that claim that they are against all forms of hierarchy and that all Basura are among the worst of them all. Why they think The Basura are the worst and not the Crime Bosses, people who aren't insane hooligans can only speculate.

Many of the heroes in the city were busy trying to get the riot under control, with a couple of gangs helping out because some of those businesses owe them money and those businesses' destruction will cause a major dent in their income. This form of riot control had its issues as a couple of the rioters had weapons that made detaining them difficult. Most of the Crownbreaker thugs headed towards Rossen's Street, where Tosher's Market is based at. And after storming the front doors, they scattered all over, attacking vendors and tearing apart any near-by Basura that gets in their sights. Though the Dreadnoughts that patrol the area have been collecting a couple of their race inside their shells as they counterattacked with whatever weapons they had stored for such an occasion like this, though a couple of the Crownbreakers were able to match the Dreadnought's firepower.

Benjamin ended up getting his can ripped by a thug's blade, but he managed to disarm the goon and the man ran away in panic due to being weaponless. Benjamin used this looted weapon to help protect his people and his friends. The tides of battle have turned as many of the civilians who happen to have carried their own weapons have joined in the fight against The Crownbreakers, causing them to run away after finding themselves outgunned and outnumbered. With victory against The Crownbreakers achieved as the one's still alive were detained, the civilians started to rebuild their homes and businesses, though after he had his can quickly patched up, Benjamin noticed one of The Crownbreaker's flags were left on the ground, abandoned during the thugs' initial retreat. So as an act of disrespect, Benjamin didn't have it burned like the other flags that were taken, but instead dirtied it up a bit and painted a big green X on the gang's symbol and kept it as a trophy, which he now displays during his talks as a reminder of the civilians of Sargasso's victory."--)


This character is a tribute to one Carl Benjamin aka Sargon of Akkad, who a couple of days ago was having a debate at King's College London with Jewish Objectivist Yaren Brook, when a couple of Antifa thugs stormed the debate and tried to force the event to shut down through their usual tactic of intimidating and attacking the people participating. Luckily, they were removed from the event without too many injuries. Though Antifa still pulled the fire alarm after they were defeated, causing the event to be cancelled. Though Carl did end up getting their flag as a trophy after Antifa were defeated. Here's a link to a video that Sargon did some time after the event which has all the videos showing what had happened and the media's response to it.

I had the idea for The Crownbreakers as Sargasso's own Antifa alongside The Matriarchy, and The Crownbreakers are connected to a supplement I have on the back burner called "The Golden Commune". The Crownbreakers, like Antifa, also has a strange obsession for beating up trash cans during their riots for some odd reason. And it is The Battle of Rossen's Street which made one Basura gain an itchy trigger finger whenever he sees anyone dressed in black and covering their face.

This character was made using Hero Machine 3.
