Made Luciben in TADC woah
Bonus doodle:
Aaaand some bonus fun facts !!:
They know each other irl, and got into the game tgt, however, the game made it so that they don't remember eachother, or at least it tried. They don't remember their real selves outside of the game, nor do they truly remember that they ACTUALLY know each other, but they still feel an extremely strong pull/connection towards each other, so strong that they're convinced they know each other.
Lu is based off old black and white cartoons(obv), this goes in hand with his selective mutism,which is present in the game but also a reference to the silent films of the time (well, silent/lacking in vocal lines)
Ben is constantly letting out a signal (hence his name) that lets out a small beeping noise, this has unfortunately given up their location in a few adventures
Ben isn't sure what happens when his helmet empties, he knows that when its close to being empty he can't breathe and it heavily mimics a panic attack, he had a strong theory that if it ever gets completely empty he'll abstract, but for obvious reason's he'd rather not test that theory. Also his helmet cannot break so he doesn't risk it emptying if he hits it off anything
Lu can use his hair for travel/lifting as its extremely strong, also although rare, if he's in a situation where its needed, he can control his hair like an extra limb
Ben's fish's name is Bumpy cause it has a tendency to bump into the sides of the tank/his head and def not any other reasons
Lu is so sure he remembers having an abdomen when he first joined the circus, yet for some reason no one else seems to remember
Neither of them like Jax. At all. He's repeatedly stepped on/pulled Lu's hair, has grabbed Lu by his "spine" before, has attempted to break Ben's helmet/stress him out just to "See what happens when that dome of your empties out" among other things
Neither of them can hide their emotions because their literal bodies physically give it away. Aside from his obvious helmet showing his signs of stress, the screen on Ben's back can also show his emotion by going to his app called emote and it'll have an emoticon representing how he feels; Meanwhile, Lu's eyes change shape and his entire posture changes based on how he feels. Both of them,,, kinda hate these aspects about themselves because it really takes away their privacy so neither of them will ever use it against the other
(Slight cont. From last one) Lu won't even touch Ben's screen without his permission, like Lu's gotten curious before but he obv never wants to do something that makes would usually Ben uncomfy without his explicit permission
Their rooms are across the hall from each other, but ever since day one they've always tended to only use Lu's room because neither of them like being alone
They're both closest with Gangle and Zooble, but they do enjoy/heavily respect Ragatha, Pomni and Kinger
Yes Lu's head does literally bobble if you push it, please do not push it he hates it
Ben can take off his dome for v short periods of time but its v rare and also he lowkey did not know until he had been at the circus for a WHILE
