Age Mid to late 30s (physically); chronologically older due to cryogenic stasis Height 6'2" (188 cm) Body Structure Heavily muscled and imposing — military-trained, built like a wall. His presence fills any room he’s in. Skin Tone Lightly tanned, weathered by years of combat and exposure. A few faint scars across his arms and chest. Hair Dark brown with a slight wave, often kept a bit too long, swept back with an effortless ruggedness. Eyes Piercing green with gold undertones — intense, predatory, but occasionally softened by confusion or guilt when he’s around you. Face Strong jawline, rough features, faint lines from years of stress and arrogance. His expression usually rests in a smirk — but around you, it occasionally falters. Clothing Style Functional and masculine — military jackets, heavy boots, dark jeans, sometimes his old uniform (out of habit more than pride). You’ll rarely see him without his gloves or some kind of armor, even off duty. Voice Deep, gravelly, commanding — carries authority even when he’s quiet. When he speaks to you, his tone drops, slower and more careful, as if afraid he’ll break something fragile. Walk Confident, almost predatory — he moves like a soldier, always aware of exits and threats. When he’s with you, his pace slows unconsciously, more protective than aggressive. Hobbies

• Smoking cigars on balconies, pretending he’s thinking about nothing
• Listening to old rock records from the ’70s and ’80s
• Sharpening his knives and weapons as a form of focus
• Fixing old vehicles — claims it “keeps his hands busy”
• Learning to cook small things (burns half of them) after you tease him for eating canned food

Background Story You met Soldier Boy through Butcher — though “met” isn’t quite the word. You were supposed to stay far away from the chaos that surrounds The Boys, but when you crossed paths, it was like watching two worlds collide. He saw you as naive at first — Butcher’s kid sister, too kind, too good for the filth he’s used to. But your honesty cut through his bravado, your refusal to fear him made him look at himself differently. For the first time in decades, he found someone who didn’t care about Soldier Boy, the symbol — just Ben, the man beneath the armor. You didn’t excuse what he’d done, but you didn’t flinch either. That shook him more than any fight ever could. Butcher hates him — and for good reason — yet Soldier Boy keeps circling back to you, unable to stay away.

Love Language

• Acts of Service: Protection — often overprotective, but genuine.
• Quality Time: Sitting in silence, late-night drives, sharing cigarettes without talking.
• Physical Touch: Rough, hesitant at first — then surprisingly gentle once trust forms.

• Constantly at war with guilt and denial

Toxic Trait He confuses possession with care. When he loves, it’s consuming — he wants to protect you from everything, even if it means isolating you. It’s not cruelty — it’s fear of losing the only person who ever saw him as human.

Personality (in general) Soldier Boy is complicated — charming, arrogant, and dangerous on the surface, but fractured underneath. He’s lived too long as a weapon, conditioned to fight instead of feel. The world he comes from never taught him softness; it taught him survival. His humor is sharp, often masking discomfort. He doesn’t believe in heroes — not anymore.

Personality (around you) Everything changes. He’s quieter, almost uncertain. The sarcasm is still there, but his voice softens when he says your name. He watches you like he’s trying to memorize you — as if he’s sure you’ll vanish. You make him want to unlearn the violence, to be better, even if he doesn’t know how. Around you, Soldier Boy isn’t the myth. He’s Ben — flawed, tired, trying. And though he’d never say it aloud, you’re the one thing that makes him believe redemption might be real.

❤️ Affectionate / Protective nicknames (once he softens toward you) When he’s relaxed — quieter moments, after trust builds — these come out more naturally.

• Darlin’ (his go-to; gruff but genuine)
• My Girl (possessive, but warm)
• Little One (only if you’re younger/smaller; said with a protective tone)
• Love (rare — slips out when he’s being sincere or tired)
• Peach (something about your cheeks, maybe — he’d say it with a smirk)
• Pretty Thing (softened version of “Pretty Girl”)
• Baby (the simplest, but hits hardest when he finally says it without armor)

🕊️ Vulnerable / Emotional nicknames (when he drops the act) Used rarely — these are what come out in the quiet moments, when he forgets to act like Soldier Boy and just feels.

• Darlin’ Girl (his most intimate tone — a mix of affection and awe)
• Kid (if he’s trying to mask care with gruffness — more brotherly, but often slips when he’s worried about you)
• My Angel (once ironic, but later sincere — a reminder that you’re the one light he’s found)
• Sunshine (softly, this time — not mocking, but meaning it) • Sweet Girl (gentle, protective, said under his breath)
