Assigned Name:
Bennett "Ben" Richard Dudley
Real Name:
Toby Alden Perrish
Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Appearance: His wavy brown hair is cut in to a shaggy sort of style which he doesn't do anything with aside from cover it up from time to time. He has soft green eyes that grow darker around the edges and straight brows that tend to provide a calm look about him despite his temperament. Stands at 5'11 and is the average weight for his height, sustains a fine muscle tone with his active lifestyle.
Personality: There are few channels for Toby's impulsive anger, caused by the actions of his parents which ultimately brought the family to the town of Salem. When all is calm, he tends to do something to disrupt it. When the air is tense, he seeks to be the source of the tension. He is a volatile individual and is best dealt with in short frames of time. He'll hinge on bad impressions and will notice other's flaws well before their more positive traits. There are times when he is tolerable, when he is able to set aside his scorn and actually enjoys his time - which is when he is immersed in music, or when he is participating in some sort of sport or activity. When his mind is off his thoughts, he is actually somewhat pleasant though his opinionated views do not seem to go through any filters regardless of how he feels about who he is speaking to. It takes a highly patient and positive person to equalize his drawbacks, to get him to actually speak rationally - but the second he finds that he cannot just be truthful, he acts out in frustration.

Backstory:
Perrish and Perrish Law Firm is what started it all. It was Lacey and Pete's dream come true - their true firstborn child. It was their top priority, even as their children came in the third year of their successful practice. They had the money for them to get the best education, the best nannies, anything they desired. It wasn't a problem, until something went horribly wrong. A newly-hired shred company ended up being a front for fraud. They lost almost everything. Their dignities were but a thread of what they'd been... but they didn't stop trying to keep their practice afloat. They made a mistake in going to Walt Brisco for assistance. He was the shadiest law consultant in the county and they knew it - but they were desperate. He found them clients, easy. For awhile Perrish and Perrish was making it big again, until Walt presented them with an ultimatum in the form of an incredibly risky case which no law firm for miles would dare touch. It was a vehicular manslaughter case, between two very powerful rival families, and it was their duty to get the assailant off the hook or their life's work would be as good as dead. So Peter and Lacey went through every loophole and tactic in the book and came out of it successful - but the night of that celebrated judgement, they soon found out the price of their success. Countless threats interrupted their victory dinner, they came from all angles - from emails, from letters and phone calls. The next morning they received word that the building their practice was stationed had been burned down and that the young man they'd set free was now confined to a hospital bed. The words "You're next." came from all directions - and Lacey took the only drastic measure she could think of. Her sister Clara worked to relocate many cases similar to theirs, when there was no way out - so she pulled some strings and helped them hide.
The news that they were being put in to the witness protection program killed every dream that Toby had for the future. He'd been a good student his whole life, a prized athlete at his school. He had all sorts of offers set up for full ride scholarships for multiple colleges that wanted him on their teams... and now, because he had the Perrish name - he had to disappear from all of that. He hated his parents for being so selfish. They hadn't thought once about him or his sister, they never thought about anything but their stupid lawyer crap and now because of that they were being moved from everything they cared about.
His aunt explained to them how this was to work, and Toby began to hate her too. He wanted to be himself, but he was told that it was impossible - it would get himself and his family in to dangerous waters. This tore him up inside, and he found that he couldn't just go with it like his sister seemed to be doing. He couldn't play sports professionally. He couldn't even join an even mildly established team just in case they came looking for them. It was paranoia, it was ridiculous but he couldn't escape it and that just pissed him off even more. His parents stole his whole life from him, everything he'd worked so hard for... and he couldn't do shit about it except let them know every day how much he hated them for that. Thanks to them, he was now a husk of everything he once was.
The only thing he could turn to was music.
It soon became the only thing that didn't frustrate the hell out of him, so he plays literally for his own health and peace of mind.
