The first X-dog of the second generation, the appropriately dubbed Benjamin 02 came after Shep 00 and Ash 01. To create a yet stronger X-dog, Olympus Tech abandoned the trusty Alsatian breed and built an Akitan, blessing him not only with great technical expertise, but the physique of a god.
With Ben it was back to basics after the experimental Ash. O.T. erred on caution. Perhaps too much. There’s a ‘whiff of the automutt’ about Benjamin. Slow to develop any individuality he seems to emerge the same dog every single time he is remade. Stable, unchanging. Perhaps that’s his greatest strength; reliability. Physically he is by far the strongest X-dog, but by no means slow to move. His long, strong legs being especially adept at dismantling foes with a single kick, especially with the experimental RIG around his neck.
Mentally, Ben has an extensive, if highly specific knowledge. He is a living catalogue, a manual, rather than an adaptive, dynamic intelligence. Pre-programmed as an engineer he knows exactly how to fix most vehicles and robots, and can even grasp ‘basic’ physics and chemistry, so far as it pertains to practical applications. It’s Ben’s social skills and propensity to learn new things that are lacking. Despite his immense and impressive physical presence he is a shy, gentle dog who latches onto few interests outside his predefined P.T., and most of those at the suggestion of others. Still, perhaps if Ben lasts long enough this time, he might, like Shep, start to change and grow… maybe.
