I kinda want to put my eye color to a poll bc no one can agree with whether they're green, brown, or hazel as a compromise (the woman at th DMV for my first state ID agreed with me that they were green so that's what they legally are, my father who is confirmed red-green colorblind to this day insists our eyes are brown regardless, a kind woman in the homeless shelter said they were definitely green, and my bestie who has trouble making out some green shades is willing to capitulate that they've got quite a bit of green to them but are still hazel)
But the way facial recognition technology is going, I'm hesitant to put something that can help circumvent wearing masks

“Well that, would be telling.”              - Kenny Blonko Tennyson
Prebirth: Wasn’t planned
Pregnancy went fine until her water broke 2 months early.
I head canon that the Revonnahgander birthing process is an EXCLUSIVELY female event where the expecting father’s mostly have to stay outside and get twitchy with worry. Their labor process is also on average 2 hours.
Ben was with Gwen dealing with Plumber business literally on the other side of the galaxy at the point when the ingeractic comm lines were fritzing
Rook was there for the first 8 hours
He said it was because the Plumber’s needed him to do some check ups on the Earth Plumber HQ
Ben just asked if he could keep an eye on his girls
Had a bad feeling if you will
Note* Rook didn’t know what he’d signed himself up for when he just stopped by
That was one of the most harrowing things he’d ever witness a human female do
The hospitals were also being a pain as to who got to be the ones to treat Ben 10,000’s wife until Dr. Priyanka Maheswaran saw what was going on, yelled at them for being idiots and got her where she needed to go
Her residents were surprised to say the least
“Dr. Kincaid, Dr. Vincent, come with me to the maternity ward”
Ben got there eventually, but only after she had dislocated Rook’s wrist
(writing this down I note I make her a wee violent during labor)
Rook was relieved of watching Kai while Gwennie accompanied him to get his wrist treated by one of the Residents.
Kenny was a weak baby, had to be monitored for about a month. Couldn’t go home for another week after that
After that ordeal of course his middle name would be Blonko.
Birthday October 6
Doesn’t have the spark
colorblind, specifically Deuteranomaly
It wasn’t discovered until he commented how its weird that Revonnahgander’s see brown as red
They see color very closely to humans, so Kenny ended up in a 4 hour argument with his Dad and Uncle Blonko on this until finally RB (Rook Ben) pulled up some tests for Kenny to take
He has glasses for them, but he never wears them
prefers the contacts
Smart
Able to unlock master control within 48 hours of receiving it
Eidetic memory so he doesn’t have to study as hard as say his sister
His mom makes sure he still does though
“School first, Heroing later.”
Straight A student
Can and will get on a soap box about whitewashed history
its the classes highlight
has started four major food fights to date
He still manages to forget to grab things when he leaves the house on his hover-board
Has trained Rocky to retrieve things for him
Cross-Dominant but pretends to be left handed
Culture geek like his mom
Loves to learn about the planets of his aliens
Will randomly pop up with some fun fact whenever possible
Actually, just a geek geek
Anime, sci-fi,
But still athletic
Top forward on his Soccer team
Took figure skating classes when he was little but will never admit it
Despite being popular at school, he didn’t really have any close friends before Devlin
Lost a lot of fairweather friends left once his Omnitrix was gone
Aside from Devlin, only one other person that wasn’t really his family still hung out with him
Will expand later
Mischief maker, mostly from boredom at school
They can never catch him though, especially since he’s gotten the omnitrix
Always has an excuse
Would MUCH rather come up with excuses from himself instead of facing the consequences of his own actions
He gets over this eventually
Doesn’t like Kevin. Like, at all.
Isn’t scared of him
Always passive aggressive with him
Despite this, he’s a lot more sympathetic than you’d expect from a Tennyson
As much as he loves his dad, he’s a mama’s boy
It’s easier to talk to her
Plus it’s easier to spend time with her, even with all her archeology digs and bleeding heart projects
Actually part of why he wanted to do hero work so badly was so he could spend more time with his dad
Hence when he was stripped of his Omnitrix, he so badly wanted to prove he could be a hero without it
And why he agreed to be Chrono Spanner
Uncle Blonko is his confidant about stuff he can’t talk to about his fam with
This actually bother Ben a lot when he finds out
the “Why does my kid feel more comfortable talking to you than to me?” sort of feel
CAN’T STAND IF PEOPLE INTERFERE WITH HIS WORK
whether it’s super-heroing or a school project, nothing will tick him off like you taking charge of a project you’re supposed to be working on TOGETHER or worse, a personal project of HIS OWN
Leads him to difficulties asking for help and bad attitude to receiving it,
Regarding the Omnitrix
While he was able to unlock master control very early on, he still only had his initial 10 aliens that were accessible to him
This resulted in him learning to use his aliens more strategically than Ben
He didn’t figure out he could scan aliens’ DNA to access those forms until he was 11 and a half
As soon as Ben’s back was turned, asked Devlin if he could shift into his Eleven form and scanned the original 10 aliens in
Ben was displeased
Since he didn’t take it off until he was 14, it grew up with him
It was very upset to be removed, and when it was given back to him, it got a little clingy and integrated into his left arm
Think some of the Ben 10K concept art
Ben was once again displeased
His Top 5 Favorite Aliens:
XLR8
Grey Matter
Ditto
Knight Blue [Revonnahgander]
Big Chill
Regarding Chrono-Spanner
Whatever he did to get grounded seemed to really piss off Ben, where as Kai seemed more neutral
Professor Paradox approached him with the offer a few hours after the Blow Out
The suit
Proto-Armor from a few decades forward
The Blasters on his arms have different settings from stun to kill to obliterate
“Set your phasers to Stun, Ken.”
“I don’t think you comprehend how many points you earned with me from a single sentence.”
That’s it
The Agility and Strength is all his own
Trained under the Hue Troop for a bit, especially Yellow Technique and Black Strategy
The scarf is actually from Gwennie
He was very disillusioned about his father during his time as Spanner and has an even greater appreciation for Rook’s patience
After the Time War, he still helps Paradox as needed
Preferences
Favorite Disney Movie: Mulan
Favorite Color: Green duh
Pansexual disaster

“You’ve got a package for me, and please don’t gesture to your dick like you’re a college jock,” Ellana says as she opens the door.
“I’m hurt,” Bull replies, “I'd never. I’ve got a bit more class than that.”
Ellana deposits several bags on the floor, “When we first met you stared at me and then said, you throw good, like a caveman.”
“I just watched you brain a guy across a busy intersection with a can of pop. Forgive me if I was a little stunned at the time, I’d never seen that happen outside of a badly choreographed movie. It was hot.”
Ellana holds her hands out and wiggles her fingers, “Gimme my package.”
“It’s in the kitchen,” Bull says. “Did you want help with those?”
Ellana’s already gone, so Bull gets up and starts collecting groceries off of the floor.
“What did you get?”
“All the things,” Ellana says. “Ice cream, baking flour, regular flour, brown sugar, eggs - so careful with those -, lettuce, garlic cloves, dragon fruit - which was a surprise because I went to the white people store, I didn’t think they would have good quality fruit there - , milk…”
“I meant in the mail,” Bull says, checking the hallway and seeing the door slightly ajar. “More stuff in the car?”
“More stuff in the car,” Ellana confirms, “Oh? I got some DVD’s.”
“You’re the only person I know aside from Rutherford who still buys the hard copy media,” Bull says, carefully putting the grocery bags down on the kitchen table. Ellana is trying to rip the plastic of the DVD’s open with her teeth.
“Well if corporations would stop locking their media files so they’re non-transferrable then maybe I’d be reducing plastic wastage a bit more by not buying the hard copy,” Ellana replies. “Ever think of that?”
“Ever think of waging war on that instead of on me whenever I put the ketchup in the cabinet?” Bull replies. He stares at the open fridge, a head of lettuce in his hand as he stares at the ketchup bottle innocuously sitting right there next to the mayo and ranch dressing. “Ketchup goes in the cabinet.”
“Only when you’re not using it. If you’re going to actively be eating it and have popped the seal, it goes in the fridge.”
“I’m willing to concede peanut butter being stored up-side down and I’m willing to compromise on our dining room being painted a warm red-violet but ketchup is definitely stored at room temperature.”
“Babe is this really what you want to start on today?”
Bull puts the lettuce away and closes the fridge, ketchup in place.
“Not today, specifically,” He answers, “Do you have anything else you need to do today?”
Ellana starts ticking things off on her fingers, “We need to set up the new TV and all of our entertainment system stuff, but you were working on that already. I’ve finished unpacking all of our clothes so maybe we need to go through and see if any need ironing or a new wash. Uh. Maybe start unpacking books and setting anything that we’re going to hang on the walls aside for when we’re done painting and arranging furniture.”
“Got it, I’m going out to buy more surge protectors,” Bull says, “Do you need anything?”
“We should unpack our tools first,” Ellana says, “And see what we’re missing or what we might need now that we aren’t living an apartment and have actual room to own tools. Power or otherwise.”
“Smart move. I’ll finish up with the TV and then start on the tools. Did we just shove all the boxes with miscellaneous tools in the corner?”
“Yeah, along with the boxes of unbuilt shelves to hold them,” Ellana replies, “I’m going to test how well you set up our TV with these DVD’s. What do you want for lunch? I know I just bought groceries but I’m also lazy.”
“Pizza?”
“I want a vegetable on it that isn’t a tomato or onion. Yes, pizza.”
-
“I hope what I said hasn’t hurt you too much,” Ellana says, “It’s just that…statistically men are slightly more colorblind than women and maybe that’s impacting your ability to choose colors.”
“One, I’m not hurt,” Bull says, “Two, you’ve recently been concussed so maybe that is influencing your ability to choose colors. Moss green would look terrible on our back porch. It clashes with literally every other color we’ve put in our house, it fails to make a cohesive image and ruins the thematic flow.”
“No, it’s a contrasting color that works well with the layout of our yard and it does not clash with our backyard furniture. In fact in highlights the wrought iron quite nicely. And it’s the same muted tone as the red brick.”
“You’re making the store employees uncomfortable with your intensity and the content of this argument,” Herah says, “The words recently concussed aren’t supposed to regularly crop up in conversation. Guys, pick a color for your accent, so we can go. I agreed to come with you because you needed two cars, not stand in a paint aisle while you argued over swatches for a color that won’t even be prominently used in your home decor.”
“The accent color, Adaar, is very important,” Bull says. “And I’m not using moss green.”
“Then pick a different color!” Ellana replies, “You’ve made no alternative suggestions.”
“Literally anything that isn’t moss green.”
“My eyes travel only to moss green!”
“Can I pick the color?” Herah says, “If I pick a color can we go?”
“Depends on the color,” the other two respond.
Herah randomly flings an arm out in a direction on the paint swatch wall. “That one.”
The two immediately zoom in on it with an alarming intensity.
“It’s perfect,” They say.
“Muted enough not to overpower anything and it would blend perfectly with the hydrangeas,” Ellana says.
“Coordinates well with our hallway and our porch furniture,” Bull notes. “It also matches the sitting room if we decide to use this color in the front too.”
“Windowsills?”
“Windowsills.”
“We’re taking it.”
