Big Ben is quiet person.  No one knows anything about his background or 
personal history before becoming a joker.  He doesn't talk much, in fact 
a few people think he's mute.  (He isn't.)  He prefers to communicate 
thru his clarinet, playing different music to communicate different 
moods.  He has started to take an active interest in defending Jokertown, 
especially against some of the street gangs.  (He'll be buying off the 
Pacifism soon.  And probably the Overconfidence soon after that.  :)  )  
He has recently started to use the phrase "Rubber bounces" as a threat.  
Of course, most people don't understand _why_ he says that.  (It has to 
do with his ripping a tire off a parked car and bouncing it off the 
pavement _under_ a gang member shooting from a prone position.)  While he 
does possess a Greatsword scaled for his size and strength someone made 
for him, it tends to stay at home.  When forced into a fight he'll 
usually rip a "No Parking" sign up and use it as a staff, "sword style".  
Or he'll just bounce a tire thru you.  :)  His skin is tough enough to 
deflect bullets from most handguns and he knows enough to avoid the few 
rifles he's encountered.  Shotguns just sort of tickle.  While he's quiet 
and very shy, he is a loyal friend and is becoming more and more 
concerned with the escalating violence from the gangs.  He will probably 
join a neighborhood watch if one is formed (likely in the campaign) which 
will put him in further conflict with the local gangs.
