Period: Victorian London.

Appearance:

Benjamin has been described as a rather short and lean framed man, with a willowy and somewhat gaunt build. He was roughly 5' 9'', but not nearly short enough to have his height noticed when compared with another. As stated, he wasn't well built, but did have a bit of meat on his bones due to hard labor in Botany Bay. The man's legs were the most 'willowy' of his form, as they were long and slender. Overall, the strange man had a decent, albet skeletal figure.
His tone was very pallor, and had a distinct shallowness to it. Indeed he had a rather ghastly tone. Todd's eyes were somewhat sunken in too, as if he hadn't slept, and had darkened circles under each. Those eyes usually reflected a certain coldness, an emptiness, and even a darkened brutality hidden within their clutches. They barely ever expressed anything short of rage, sorrow, and sick amusement at things most people wouldn't find entertaining. Other features on his face were just as worn out as his eyes, a very constant trend in his slender build. The hair on his head was one of an odd sort, it was matted and messy along with having a strange cut. The hue of his hair was mostly black with a single white stripe going down past his left eye, contrasting with his previous brown hair color when he had a level of normalcy alive within him.
Todd's clothing was generic for his time period, so he'd look out of place among the others. He wore a white, long sleeved undershirt that had long cuffs on either arm. On his hands he usually wore wool knitted gloves with open an open end where his fingers slipped through. Occasionally he wore another pair, which was leather and had a hole for each separate finger. Always worn on his pinkie finger was a ghastly looking ring, the ring had a design that roughly resembled a man.(previously thought to be a wedding band, woops. I'm saying that's a separate item) The latter pair of gloves he was hardly seen in, but wears them constantly now because those were the pair he perished in. Also along with his white undershirt he wore a thin scarf that was speckled gray, and he was never seen without said scarf. Over the blouse he had on a dark brow vest that was buttoned up in the front, the vest itself looked old and worn out. The man also had a gray jacket that went over everything else, and sometimes on top of that a bulky looking leather coat. On his lower body he wore a pair of navy blue pinstripe pants, held up by a pair of black suspenders usually hidden under his vest, they were dark enough to almost look black in certain lighting. Finally, a leather belt was worn around his waist, that buckled on the side and had a holster attached for a straight razor. Said belt had a small clip attached, where he previously hung a white cloth. On said clip dangled a turquoise heart, why he picked such a clip was unknown.

"Swing your razor wide, Sweeney!"

Personality:

bloodthirsty, vengeful, vicious, anti-social, psychotic, broken, misanthropic, merciless.. Todd was on a slow decline during the course of his life, a decline that went into a pretty bad case of what many would call insanity. His personality was fairly vicious, especially when wronged, and was a large misanthrope in ideas. He preferred to not deal with people at all, the man would much prefer to be on his own and do what he pleased. He considered all beings vermin, and not worthy of his concern. Most often he was lost in his own little world of revenge and rage, but since being grabbed into Econtra he had a more morose and upset air about him. Though he looked more sorrowful, the man still was extraordinarily brutal and mentally unstable. He did understand that it was his revenge that consumed him, and led him to accidentally murder his wife. Hence this was a large factor to his slight pacification as far as hatred was concerned. As far as madness, the sane side of him is beginning to get more footing because of the trauma he felt at causing Lucy's death. The old Benjamin was beginning to break through, but he still, at the time, pledged Mrs. Lovett as his next target for revenge. Followed perhaps only by the Warden who trapped him here, not knowing the Warden was virtually untouchable. He also had very poor social skills, and will go on droning about his friends and revenge in the middle of an otherwise normal conversation. However he was not all darkness and ANGST ANGST, Ben could be quite playful, and simply adored black humor in all it's forms. He simply couldn't resist a dark joke.

Current Possessions: straight razor* , clothes, shaving kit save honing stone, sharpened replicas of other razors, including box.

Abilities/Strengths:

As far as abilities go, Todd isn't adept. His strength may very well be in his viciousness and his ability for cruelty without remorse. The only remorse he's ever felt was for lashing out at his wife unknowingly and almost killing his child. Besides his instability being used as an advantage, is is pretty quick witted and cunning. Todd is also very skilled at using edged weapons, especially small and easily hidden one's similar to his straight razor.

"Hold it to the skies!"

Weapons:

Todd's weapon of choice is an ornately designed straight razor like the one's used in barber shops of his time. The handle of the straight razor has the form of a woman etched upon it. The blades themselves are highly reflective and silver, and have the uncanny ability to calm him down somewhat when he toys with them. The handle is very complicated in design, and has many different ridges and swirls upon it. As all weapons here, it was nabbed from him upon arrival, making him more unruly.

Weaknesses:

He isn't "special". Todd doesn't have magical abilities nor anything out of the ordinary. He is simply a human being, which is his main weakness. He isn't very strong, nor is he very fast, giving him a disadvantage against foes that have special abilities. On top of that, his mind can be used against him.

"Freely flows the blood of those who moralize!"
