Unfinished but my tablet’s going to die, so have a B-en meet a No Watch for the first time:

“Why do you smell like a small star?”

Short explanation; No Watch alternates come from the same patch of the multiverse as Omniverse Bens, with the commonly accepted term for them being “Brights”. This refers to everyone from their realities, not just Bens, and is basically just a face-value interpretation of plot armor made real.

..I need to adjust the eyes in this one.

I simplified the B.U. uniforms to be easier to draw and more realistic for them to wear on a large scale. These are mostly worn at public places, and/or where a fair amount of people are coming and going.

Guests:

Just arrived to the Branches, probably hasn’t been sorted yet.

Unspecified:

A B.U. native -en who hasn’t really found their way yet, or who has decided to remain unspecified/unspecialized.

Probably doesn’t have a mentor yet or hasn’t signed on to any of the ][Networks.

Vollunteer:

Literally anyone visiting a port or fort who is supposed to be there,

They know what they’re doing, or know how to find out.

They probably visit this place regularly.

Patron:

They know where they are or what they’re there for,

They have a contract or agreement with someone and is allowed at the location.

They are usually outsiders.

Traveler:

Might not be supposed to be where they are, but it’s easier to ignore them. They know this.

They know where they’re going and will passively ignore you on the way (this is a form of politeness).

They are not a territorial threat, that is why mutual aloofness is deemed polite.

Even if you interact with them, they likely will not speak or look at you, depending on regional norms.

Contractor:

They might not know where they are going, but do know why and who they’re with.

They generally keep their head down, do the job, and leave.

If the contractor is with a regular client or a familiar location, they might go from impersonal to casual.

Contractors and travelers generally have a mutual camaraderie.

Modded:

Uncommon outside of the First Branch,

The Omnitrix is a piece of biotech hardwired into the nervous system and CNS; punitive charges can be enacted via Omnis’ influence on the brain or body.

In Ninth, the main moderation is memory omission (a severe act).

Moderator:

In First, this is someone who is responsible for altering people’s perceptions and mood via Omnis’ influence.

Outside of First, this is a boss who manages spreadsheets or assigns duties.

Both versions of this are viewed as group caregivers within their contexts.

I’m revisiting Ben’s family tree.
