He's usually known as the "funny guy" in whatever circle of friends he travels with, a trait that can get him in trouble if he runs his mouth off to the wrong people.

He doesn't believe he has a problem, and can be quite belligerent when cut off. His pride is not easily injured, but Benny the Rat can't stand short jokes, due to his stature. Benny would like to be a big part of the local music scene, which means he often scouts for upcoming talent.

Equipment

History

Benjamin Ratterman, born January 31st, 1924, grew up fatherless after his dad ran off with some cheap cabaret singer. His mother worked as a waitress, often taking young Benny in with her when she couldn't find a sitter for the late night shifts. This was how Benny became acquainted with the world of radio, as the only entertainment present during these late night hauls was the crackly voice of a radio host. This was how Benny the Rat's radio-friendly personality came to be. He often got into scuffles at school for his wise-guy personality, and ended up not finishing high school. As he floated between odd jobs and bare-knuckle boxing, a sport he was not exactly suited to given his frame, he made it his goal to eventually become the radio host he had always looked up to.
