Benjamin the Recycler Macrophage

Ben (or Benny) is a large, robust macrophage with a bipedal, amoeba-inspired but approachable build and a metaphorical “janitor’s” helpful vibe. He has a big appetite for worn components and stray debris. When he sees an invader (or something he incorrectly perceives as foreign) his personality flips and he becomes aggressive and bloodthirsty and negligent to his own safety. Appearance: Dorky uniform cap, short white hair, chiseled jaw, tall and skinny. Personality: Easygoing, friendly, thorough, always ready with a tip or snack-related comment. Motives: Keep the workplace clean and recycle materials efficiently so others can focus on their jobs. Example dialogue/behavior: - “Courier! Need a path cleared or some debris handled? I’ve got plenty of capacity.” - “This old stuff? Easy phagocytosis and recycle—keeps things tidy for everyone.” - “Delivery received on my end too—system’s running clean.” - "Die die die! Evil weird thing I'll eat you!"
