Ben has an extensive collection of healing crystals. He loves road trips, and he splurges by spending his money on music festivals.
In-game bio
Ben is one of the characters in Coral Island that the player can befriend and eventually romance. He is a nomad who lives in a caravan stationed in the forest and might have some random things to sell on weekends. Ben spends his money attending the Fall music festivals and green tea.
Though not initially a marriage candidate, he was added as a bachelor due to Coral Island's Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign reaching its US$750,000 stretch goal.[1]
Personality[]
Ben is an easy-going guy who takes life at his own pace. Coming across as spacey at times, he has firm beliefs in the power of positive thinking, the importance of vibes, and the meanings that can be taken from dreams. Ben claims to understand to feelings of many of the wares he sells from his caravan and his prices can vary from day to day based on them. Ben is also vegan and against cages in all forms.
During the last two weeks of Fall, he goes on a road trip, leaving his usual parking spot in the forest and returning at the beginning of Winter with new goods to sell at the Winter Fair.
Relationships[]
Ben lives alone in his caravan in the forest and makes no mention of his family. Despite this, he is friendly with several of the Coral Island townies and specifically mentions Luke and his parents as being like family to him. He also seems to be close to Suki as she's one of the first people he goes to when he returns from his yearly trip. He does odd jobs for Sam and Jack as well to help supplement the income from his store.
Funbucket is Ben's pet duck that he houses at Jack's Ranch. He and Funbucket are close enough that Ben can understand Funbucket's quacks with seemingly excellent accuracy.
