Fan Guide

Welcome to the cinema, newcomer.

Fiction, clearly labeled. Everything on this page is invented lore for the original fictional character Benz — stories, quotes, places, and people. None of it is real-world fact, and none of it is presented as such.

Fan rules of the picture

Label the fiction. Benz is an original fictional character — say so when you post.
Keep the art honest. The images are AI-generated dramatization art; keep the label when sharing.
No fake history. Don't present lore as real events or real people. The fun is in the fiction.
Keep the code. Be kind to newcomers. Benz would tip his imaginary hat; tip yours.
