Ben Paul

Ben Paul (@BenDieselx420 ) is a teenager from Stone Mountain, GA. He is the at the time the only known survivor from Stone Mountain.

Pre-Apocalypse
Ben was a member of the Stone Mountain Marching Pirates Band. He played multiple intstruments but was fond of the Flute and the Saxaphone. Outside of his accomplishments in band little else is known about his life pre-outbreak. He did not own a vehicle of his own, but was known to borrow his mother's Subaru to go into town.

Didn't see much reason to go to Macon, though.

Post-Apocalypse
When the outbreak spread to Stone Mountain High Ben was in the group that originally attempted to barricade themselves in the school for protection. Unfornately the plan fell through and Ben, Travis, and his band teacher Mr. Parker set out for Macon. After a run in with bandits that left Mr. Parker dead and Travis MIA Ben wandered into the Macon Survivor's Camp. Bringing his own brand of swag to the group as he attempted to ensure one thing.

That he would not die a virgin.

While Lee was away Ben began to assert himself more with the group, even going out and hunting at at one point defeating Maybelle. After a peptalk from Larry he began to stand up for himself a bit more and (in his own mind) began to make headway with Carley. When Lee returned, however, Ben saw that he in reality had no chance with Carley and began to fall into a stereotypical teenage depression. He spent approximately 24 hours listing to Linkin Park's "Crawling" on repeat. He emerged having stolen Carley's make up kit and adopted a depressed, angsty, emo outlook on life.

After that brief stint Ben decided he needed to return to Stone Mountain to see if anyone he knew from his previous life survived. Upon arriving with Andy, Doug, and Danny he found his old highschool overrun. He decided to go to his Ex-Girlfriend's house to see if she had survived.

He found her and her family dead, having commited suicide.
