"It's Bondi 'til I fucking die, not Bondi 'til I can't be fucked any more."

Barry Benson is a character role-played by Bazza.

General Description
Barry Benson is the Prime Minister of the Bondi Boys MC.

Overview
Barry Benson is a loyal and hardworking man who constantly chases the next adrenaline filled heist or adventure. He is known for his goldfish brain, fierce loyalty, and constant dedication to the Bondi Boys Motor Club.

Barry spends his time with his club the BBMC, busting banks and boosting cars. Over his months as a criminal Barry has become a sharp shooter, confident driver, steadfast leader, a boosting hacker, and quick with explosives like thermite. When not engaging in crime he can seen working hard on his car sales business, Benson's Backalley Motors.

Personality
Barry is not one to show his emotions on his sleeve, or to speak them aloud. This has often led to the opinion that he doesn't have emotions, when really he is just tends to bury them deep down, and only expresses them rarely to a small trusted few. He is loyal to a fault, and for the first few months of knowing Irwin Dundee, was often seen by others as softer and more quiet than his louder personality. However, after transitioning from Road Captain to Vice Prime Minister of the BBMC, with encouragement from Dundee, club members and friends, Barry grew harder, more stern, and more willing to stand his ground.

Barry is quietly confident, hard-working, observant, and generous toward his friends and family. He is a thrill-seeker with a chaotic, wild side that he tightly controls with a pragmatic attitude and a logical approach to problems. Barry is a self confessed adrenaline junkie and can be very frustrated when he can't find a high or an outlet to release some energy, he enjoys gunfights and police chases, but has also been known to satisfy his need for adrenaline with drugs and has had issues with drug use in the past.

Barry can come across quite amicable and rational but is also very capable of holding on to a grudge for a long time and filing useful information away for later use. He has a vindictive streak and is very clever in the way he speaks, happy to let people think hes dumber than he seems to surprise them later on.

Barry is a big family man and is incredibly protective of the people he considers to be his family, often promising violence to anyone who would dare hurt them.

Barry is a man of actions and results; for him to believe something, he needs to see it with his own eyes instead of learning about it through word of mouth.

Appearance
Barry has slicked back light brown hair and green eyes. Both of his arms sport full-sleeve tattoos, and he has a goldfish tattooed on the left side of his neck and a surfboard on the right. On his right pec is a shark tattoo and he recently got another shark tattoo on his left pec to match. On his back is a large dragon tattoo. Barry also has a dragon tattoo in UV ink on the back of his neck, with both the original art and the inking courtesy of his father Hubcap Jones. Barry also recently got a full sleeve on one leg and a half sleeve on the other one.

After being punished by the club for breaking a rule by being set on fire, Barry has slight burn marks on both of his cheeks that never properly healed. He has a scar over his left eye after being hit in the face with a crowbar by Stumbles Fumbles.

Barry is known for his Pißwasser cap, worn either forwards or backwards, his sunglasses, and his timberland boots. He often wears simple clothing, with common outfits being of course, his BBMC kuttes, or more casually, a BBMC t-shirt or an orange hoodie.

He wears an assortment of odd clothing as heist or criminal outfits, such as space suits with monkey masks, or racing suits with turtle masks (however he will say it's a snake), but recently has gotten very into wearing the goldfish mask Nancy Drew got him for Christmas, which he wears when racing.
