The Inspirations for Ben and Taylor

Here's the scoop for Benjamin Hallows and Taylor Timmons, please enjoy my friends! --KatDon 

Benjamin Hallows: Like it or not, the tragic 'villain' who becomes an ally to Evermore and lover to Sylver Eden. Ben Hallows is an almost exported chatacter of 2015 version of Victor Frankenstein. Ben's name came from....BEN BURNLEY FROM BREAKING BENJAMIN. Benjamin Jackson "Ben" Burnley IV (born March 10, 1978) is an American musician, composer, and record producer, best known as the founder and frontman of the American rock band Breaking Benjamin. As the sole constant of the group, Burnley has served as its principal songwriter, lead vocalist, and guitarist since its inception in 1992. Since signing with Hollywood Records in 2002, Burnley has composed five studio albums under the name Breaking Benjamin, two of which have reached platinum and one of which has reached gold in the United States. Outside of Breaking Benjamin, Burnley has also collaborated with acts such as Adam Gontier and Red. Lead singer of Breaking Benjamin; In 1998, Burnley and former lead guitarist Aaron Fincke, got together (along with Nick Hoover and Chris Lightcap) and started the band "Breaking Benjamin." Eventually, Ben wanted to try something different and went out to California to try some new material. The other three members went on to form the band Strangers With Candy (later known as Lifer). They recruited old friend Mark Klepaski to play bass and he joined in, and shortly after, Nick Hoover was asked to leave the band. In 1999, Ben Burnley moved back to Pennsylvania, and started a band called "Plan 9" with drummer Jeremy Hummel. Originally, the band was a three-piece. The lineups consisted of Ben on vocals and guitar, Jeremy on drums, and Jason Davoli on bass. Plan 9 would occasionally open for Lifer at home shows. During one show, Ben said "Thank you, we're Breaking Benjamin," thus reclaiming the name from 1998. Later on, Mark left Lifer and found himself playing bass for Breaking Benjamin. Lifer continued going through struggles, and months later, Aaron sat in for a set with Benjamin. Finally, Aaron left Lifer, and was offered a spot in Ben Burnley's band, and they became a four-piece. 

Taylor Timmons: Taylor Timmons is a pun name of YouTuber name TalesofTim. Some parts of Ben's life were inspired from TalesofTim, who is known for reading Creepypasta sometimes but has his own works: FELLS GLEN & THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT. Hell, I think TalesofTim, MrCreepyPasta and many other readers actually inspired Taylor Timmons but also Taylor is an exported character of Igor from the 2015 version of Victor Frankenstein. What is CreepyPasta? Creepypastas are horror-related legends or images that have been copy-and-pasted around the Internet. These Internet entries are often brief, user-generated, paranormal stories intended to scare readers. They include gruesome tales of murder, suicide, and otherworldly occurrences. According to Time magazine, the genre had its peak audience in 2010 when it was covered by The New York Times.

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN (2015): Victor is a man of unbridled passion while Igor is a man of moderation and reason, but there's some undertones as Igor is bare-chested when Victor attempts to straighten the abnormal curvature in his back. Most of why Igor is so willing to follow Victor around and do as he's told even when he's unhappy about it stems from the fact that Victor essentially gave Igor an entirely new and non-miserable existence by hauling him out of the circus. Igor even mentions this to Lorelei as the main reason why he has to go and help Victor in the finale. Igor and Victor are close, but their friendship is an unhealthy one, and it's especially harmful for Igor. These two guys have such a good time together, and as an audience, I think you want them to be together. It's exciting, they have all these adventures that's half the time. The other half the time, if you ever wanted to see Igor utterly abused, and beaten up, and hurt, and embarrassed, and just manipulated by me, then that's your movie. So half the time the audience is like, "Aww, these guys are great together," and the other half the time, they go, "Please Igor, run away now!" Even it's unknown if he is gay or asexual, Victor has a few waistcoats with either a floral or paisley print, and at one point he wears a striking purple suit, which is very showy in comparison to the attire of the other male characters. While Victor was intelligent of a mad scientist; Igor is able to perform surgery on a heart, a liver, and a pair of lungs and can pop a broken bone back into place in under a minute with improvised materials. He is able to view a fevered patient and decide upon a medicinal regimen for them almost instantly. He also understands how the nerves controlling the eyes work, and can tell at a glance that Victor has wired them wrong. He managed to learn all of this from books and treating his co-performers at the circus. So Igor is not just an assistant but he's much smarter. Riddle me this why do you think Frankenstein revives the undead monsters to life? He fears death. I mean, he lost his brother in his life that haunts him. His obsession with reviving the undead. And how he shares the ideas of resurrection of death into life: "I dream of a world where hope replaces fear...Where a cripple man could be healed and revive to walk again...Life is beautiful...." He fears death as he has ideas like these!

MAD FATHER: Mad Father is a free-ware horror-puzzle game created by Miscreant's Room made with Wolf RPG Editor, their second game after Misao. A young German girl named Aya Drevis is living at home with her father simply known as the Doctor and his assistant Maria. One night, Aya hears her father scream and finds her house riddled with corpses and other supernatural things trying to kill her. Not wanting to leave without her father, Aya decides to brave the house and look for him, all while encountering the horrors of what her father has really done. Mad Father takes place in northern Germany, where an 11-year old protagonist, Aya Drevis, lives with her parents, Alfred and Monika Drevis, and their maid Maria. Aya is a shy girl who never goes outside. Her mother is incredibly ill, while her father performs secret research in his laboratory in the house's basement, with the assistance of Maria. Neither Aya nor Monika know the truth of what he is actually doing, though both are curious to find out. Monika dies. One year later, on the anniversary of Monika's death, Aya awakens at midnight to find herself surrounded by test subjects that escaped from the laboratory. Fleeing back into her room, Aya encounters the mysterious salesman Ogre, who offers her the task of solving puzzles to break into her father's laboratory and uncover his secret. Benjamin Hallows 

SANDER COHEN FROM BIOSHOCK: Sander Cohen is a poet, composer, sculptor, and playwright ruling over Fort Frolic. Originally a renowned artist of many forms who practiced in New York City, Cohen became a leading figure in Rapture's art community. Following the descent of Rapture into chaos, he went mad and became sadistically impassive to the deaths and suffering of others. The Splicers within his dominion are subject entirely to his whims, whether in life or death. All around Fort Frolic can be seen examples of his "art;" plaster figures of people who are, in fact, horrifically murdered Splicers and other unfortunates coated in plaster. Sander Cohen was the inspiration for Marcello Hallows and I just wanted to give a background information about Ben's life.
