Benjamin Benevento aka Detective Dipshit, basic information post for the interested
S 7 P 10 E 8 C 5 I 3 A 6 L 1
He was born December 12th 2040 to two great parents, Gianna and Benjamin Benevento Sr. Despite his mother being a lawyer, they were less than well off partly due to her propensity for working pro-bono cases. His father was a crook, but was good to him, his younger brother Eugene and his mother. He died when Ben was 14, devastating him and changing the course of his life forever.
In 2062, he became a detective, spurred on entirely by the suspicious details surrounding his father’s murder. Shy of two years later, he’s transferred to Chicago, where he is partnered with the original Nick Valentine. At first, Nick is reluctant to work with a partner, but they soon warm to one another, eventually getting a lot closer than either of them would have expected. They even end up dating, but it’s all cut short when Ben is drafted into the Sino-American war. There, instead of becoming a power-armored foot soldier as they intended him to be he becomes a vertibird pilot. All due to the fact he could not hurt a fly, but excelled in the simulations.
This happens in 2073, and hes back before the year is over due to grievous injury when his vertibird is shot down. Presumed dead after he’s witnessed being flung into the wreckage, news of his death travels back home faster than its discovered he’s still alive. After a gruelling 25 hours, he’s recovered and saved, to his family and Nick’s utmost relief.
He doesn’t escape without a grievous amount of scars, mostly centred on his upper torso, as well as burns across the left of his face and a seared off ear lobe. Due to one of the wounds spanning from his chin down to his collarbone, he has difficulty speaking. For the first year, he is almost entirely mute, but it’s helped by therapy and time to heal.
When he gets back, he barely has anytime with Nick at all before he is transferred back home to Boston. Ben is almost fine with it, seeing as he’ll be able to be with his family, but he can’t escape the loneliness of being without Nick, especially after such an ordeal. He tries to write, but is met with no response each time. He doesn’t discover until they reunite that the letters had been withheld by his brother, who he had been staying with.
In case you’re wondering, yah i changed some of that sweet canon outside of things we just don’t know so can insert as we please. Jennifer Lands (despite Nick telling my actual Sole Survivor Nora that she was) was not his fiance, Ben was at the time of the bombs. She was instead an informant, one Nick worked closely with. One that got unjustly murdered, and Nick felt as though he could better get Nora’s help in bringing down Winter if it seemed more personal to him. Nick didn’t enjoy lying of course, but that’s just the way it ended up playing out. When Nora finds out the truth, they’re absolutely enraged. They weren’t against bringing down the scumbag, but just not under false pretences. But I digress lmao
Ben didn’t know Nora up until the day of the bombs. He was in Sanctuary when the sirens began blaring, and Nora grabbed him as he tried to escape and go back home to Nick. She begged and lied to him in order to protect Shaun: she needed a ‘husband’ to take the place of another family of similar circumstances. Ben agreed, not knowing how what they were doing could be considered despicable. He wanted them to survive- a mother and their son, but he wanted to survive himself also. For Nick.
He witnesses Nora get shot, but when he wake up its 5 years after Nora pried themself from the pod and got to work in her quest to find Shaun. He’s forgotten until it’s realised he’s the last way into the Institute after Nora is banished- Shaun has no reason to believe that he’s not his father. 
Ill write more tomorrow probably but I’m super tired and a need a breather before I talk about how difficult post war robo-Nick and Ben are jahdfkf
This is ok to rb! If you do or if you don’t, I still appreciate any comments or questions. It’s pretty big for me to finally write all this down, it’s been on my chest for literal months (though the story has changed considerably kjahfkfj)
