I changed Timmy's picture... I also don't feel like changing the first chapter of the character introductions because I'm afraid MT will take time to approve it.

About Benny's age. He's body is 16, but he is not a minor just his body transformation... He is also not a human. He is an AI, and he is old enough that everyone combined...
