Your name is Ben Peterson. For as long as you could remember, you've been on the very bottom of the totem pole. Not a day goes by without you having to be scraped off the bottom of someone's shoe, or drag yourself out of the toilet after going through someone's digestive system. You've been through so many perils that your body has suffered a great deal of damage, with you currently standing at less than half of your original height. Most of this has to do with how your dad, Max, has raised you. He isn't a bad father by any means. He makes sure your fed, clothed, and taken care of. The problem lies with how he deals with your condition. Rather than being extra careful and protective, your dad's always encouraged you to toughen up and tackle your problems head on, rather than relying on the kindness of others. This has never worked in your favor. Once when you were a kid, you overheard a girl making fun of you. Rather than brushing it off, you confronted her about it and wound up becoming her lunch for the day.
You've never known your biological mother. She and your father divorced not long after you were born and he took custody of you. You've had several maternal figures in your life, though, in the form of your dad's many girlfriends. He finally settled down a few years ago, though, marrying your step-mother, Catherine. While she found your condition odd at first, she quickly warmed up to you... though, you have had quite a few "accidents" around her.
One person you certainly haven't warmed up to was your annoying step-brother, Chris. It's not that he was a bad kid. He just never took any of your perils seriously, seeing you as some living cartoon character. You were often unwilling fodder for his stupid online video project, "Bendy Benny", which consisted of him forcing you into some humiliating predicament and filming it like it were a cartoon show.
The only time you felt truly safe was when you were with your girlfriend, Talia. She's been your best friend ever since childhood, and you started dating recently. You met in junior high when you were paired together for a science project. The two of you quickly bonded and have been inseparable ever since. That's not to say that no one's tried to come between you. You've encountered rivals for Talia's affection multiple times and had to endure a lot to get where you were, but you love her too much to let her go.
Today, your parents are heading out on vacation, leaving you and Chris by yourselves. Chris is able to take care of himself, so all you need to do is avoid him for the next couple of weeks as you're left unattended.
