Character Sheets: Ben and Squeak

I did my character sheets in Celtx, but here's the breakdown.

Ben
Full Name: Benjamin Johnson
Description: Ben is a boy whose game play is interrupted by a power outage.

Physical Description
Age: 13
Hair: brown
Eyes: brown
Distinguishing Features: freckles
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 103 lbs

Motivation
Goal: Ben wants to be the best at Tactigon 2000.
Plan: He plays Tactigon 2000 any chance he gets, including when his parents think he's asleep or doing homework.

Character Background
Family: Ben is the only child of Steve and Rachael Johnson. Steve is an accountant for a large IT company, and is often out of town on business. Rachael works as a part-time librarian, is active in PTA, and volunteers time for after-school programs for elementary kids. Steve and Rachael's busy schedules often leave Ben home alone, which is just fine by Ben.

Education: Ben attends middle school, where he usually receives mediocre grades. He's never failed a class, but usually puts in just enough effort to pass and no more.

Habits/Vices: Avid gamer, collects anything and everything related to Tatigon 2000.

Personality: Ben has a somewhat reclusive nature in real life. He'll talk to people, but rarely starts the conversations. Ben's real love is Tatigon 2000, which he will discuss avidly with anyone who will listen (or even pretend to listen). Ben is active in several online discussion boards and fan clubs centered around Tatigon 2000.

Likes: Tatigon 2000, video games, Mountain Dew, pizza,

Dislikes: Math (unless it relates to figuring out the best stats for Tatigon 2000), vegetables, cola, pizza with veggies,

********************************

Squeak
Full Name: Squeak
Description: Squeak is a raccoon-like critter who chews through the power line to Ben's house.

Physical Description
Age: 3
Hair: reddish gray
Eyes: brown
Distinguishing Features: big ears, prominent teeth
Height: 2'6"
Weight: 40 lbs

Motivation
Goal: Squeak wants to build a rocket to go to the moon, because he's heard that the moon is made of cheese.
Plan: Squeak has been collecting materials from people's yards and garbage cans for over a year. He uses these items to craft a rocket made from a hollow tree.

Character Background
Family: Squeak was born to fairly normal critter parents, whose primary goal was to find food. Squeak's parents didn't seem to care about his ideas, or dreams of going to the moon. As soon as he was able, Squeak set out to find his own fortune, and eventually arrived in the neighborhood where Ben lives.

Education: Squeak can open a trash-can with a locking lid in under 3 seconds.

Habits/Vices: Compulsive collector of junk, obsessed with building a rocket to go to the moon.

Personality: Although somewhat simple-minded, Squeak is has the soul of an artist. He is deeply moved by his dreams, and cares little about what others think of him. Squeak is not easily discouraged from his dream, and will go to most any length to build his rocket.

Likes: cheese, shiny objects, sugar,

Dislikes: rat poison, people who leave their trash-cans inside, lawn mowers, corn on the cob
