[hider=Quick Ben, Malazan Book of the Fallen] [b]Name:[/b][indent]Ben Adaephon Delat (Quick Ben, Magi of High House Dark, High Mage of the Bonehunters)[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b][indent]Male[/indent] [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://rp.alexarnold.ca/quick/quick_s.png[/img] [b]Personality:[/b][indent]Quick Ben is a private, scheming individual. He prefers to remain beneath notice. He trusts nobody, even those he has known and fought beside for years. Even so, he is bold when the situation arises and he is prepared. Quick Ben plays his game from behind the scenes.[/indent] [b]Brief History:[/b][indent]Quick Ben was the last of a cabal of mages hunted down by the Malazan Empires Bridgeburners. During the pursuit his fellow mages fell one by one, their souls and powers being shifted into Quick Ben. At the conclusion of the chase, having earned the mutual respect of them, Quick Ben joined the company as a squad mage. Initially merely a gifted mage possessed of exceptional creativity and finesse, he has become worthy of the title High Mage. Formerly an enemy of the empire, Quick Ben did all he could to keep a low profile. His infamy also extends to the pantheon of gods, many of whom are wary of him and some hold personal grudges.[/indent] [b]Universe of Origin:[/b][indent]The Malazan Book Of The Fallen[/indent] [b]Equipment:[/b][indent]None[/indent] [b]Abilities:[/b][indent] Quick Ben has practiced the art of magecraft since the age of 10 and has continued to expand his power and utility. Though he might not possess the raw power of some, combined with his creativity he has proven to be able to slay flights of dragons and be a credible threat to gods. Ben is also exceptional in having access to a great number of warrens of magic. Where a mage having access to two or three is unique he is able to use up to seven out of the twelve that he has access to at any time. Through deeds and fame, Quick Ben is on the edge of Ascendancy, becoming tougher and stronger than a normal human but still very mortal.[/indent] [b]Other:[/b] [indent][b]Warrens:[/b][indent]Warrens are a realm where mages, priests and others draw their power. They a both a source of power and a location. The power is accessed by willing open the warren and grasping the power that leaks out. This power is flexible and it's application depends on the mages imagination. Some are better suited for certain tasks than others. When used as a physical location, Warrens can be used to travel. Once entered the chosen destination is visualized and one moves there through the warren. This allows a mage to avoid and obstacles between themselves and their destination as well as move large distances in a short amount of time. Having shifted the souls of these other mages Quick Ben has access to their own warrens as well as his own. He is remarkable in having access to twelve, though not all have any practical use and he is only able to use up to seven at any one time. Even seven at once is six more than most mages can manage, giving him an unprecedented level of flexibility. Even those without use can be unleashed with a burst of raw, power.[/indent] [hider=Bens Warrens] [b]Denul:[/b] healing. Forced healing takes a toll on the mind instead of the body.
