Illusion 7
- Disguise
He can make others within a certain radius see him as something else. For example he can make a person see him as a woman, another person, animal, or maybe even as a inanimate object with enough concentration. When doing this for too long he becomes nauseous.
- Mirror Image
He has the ability to make multiple temporary duplicates of himself. This can only last for at least an hour at a time and the limit to how many he can make at once is 3.
- Simulacrum
He can make an illusory duplicate of an animal, insect, or person out of an inanimate object, or substance and control it as he wants. For example, he can make a snowman and if he touches it and concentrates for at least 30 minutes, he could turn the snowman into an illusion of a friend or something and order it to pick up a book from the library for him.
Enchantment 8
- Synaptic Static
If he talks to a person, or animal, and they give a verbal response, he can confuse and scramble their thoughts for up to an hour at a time. This can give the target really bad headaches depending on how healthy or unhealthy they are. This will give almost an intoxicated effect. If it is done incorrectly there's a 50/50 chance that the effects will backfire.
- Stare of Tranquility
When making eye contact for more than 3 seconds, he has the ability to calm down and relax the target, reducing the effect of any intense emotion, like anger, and sadness. This can last from, 1 minute, the minimum, to a few hours, the maximum. The longer he makes the effect or the more intense the emotion is, the more energy he consumes, making him light headed, or even bringing him to the brink of fainting. This works on animals too.
Personality
- Cunning
Being brought up as a only child in a neglectful household, Benjamin found the fun in discovering the different ways to deceive and trick others into doing what he wanted, or thinking the way that he wanted them to. At times, he didn't even have a real reason to lie, it quickly became a habit for him. Being a bit of a trickster, it wasn't difficult for people's trust in him to dwindle.
- Generous
He enjoys spoiling others and often finds himself making things such as extra food for those who wants or needs it, and leaving large tips at restaurants or stores.
- Narcissist
Despite his generosity, he is self centered and enjoys talking about himself and his achievements, both real and fabricated. He tends to ramble on and on about himself at times, being proud of himself and the things that he's done despite a lot of said things being fake.
- Charismatic
He is a pretty charming person and knows his way around words. His charisma brings out his flirty nature, which tends to get him into trouble at times.
History
Benjamin was raised in a poor household in San Diego California where status and reputation mattered more than the food and water that they needed to survive. He never knew what job that his father had, just that he was almost never home, and his mom was a house wife who's sanity was barely hanging on by a thread. Ever since he was a child he had to live in a faux rich lifestyle.Living in a house that his family couldn't actually afford, buying clothing from expensive brands, and pretty much lying about every part of his life. He lied so much that he started to actually believe a lot of the lies that he told, becoming incredibly narcissistic and spoiled. He'd have nearly impossible demands and would often spend his father's money on unnecessary things that could've easily been spent on food. Though this caused his parents to suffer financially even more than before, their obsession with being perceived as rich and prestigious blinded any logical thinking.
Eventually, this way of living began to break their household as a whole. Their lies began to spiral out of control and soon they were buried in debt. Fortunately due to all of the lies that he's told, Ben had many connections. He was able to easily get a well paying job. With all of them each individually working multiple jobs, they were able to pay off their immense debt years later. Afterwards though, rumors of all the family's lies began to spread. They were hated by everyone that they knew.
At the age of 15, he and his parents found their way in Shipden park, his mother's hometown. His father had a job opportunity there and thought that it would be a good opportunity to turn over a new leaf. This is where he discovered his mother's magical experience there and how she went to school. This caused her to put him in with hopes that once again, he'd help to raise the family's reputation. Despite this though, Ben didn't want to to turn out the same way as before. He realized that his mean natured actions really hurt people and he didn't like the looks everyone gave them after learning who they truly were. After studying constantly and working hard, he was able to succeed in his magic studies, simultaneously graduating from college for mechanical engineering. He still isn't a good person by far, but he is genuinely trying to be better.
This took forever, hopefully everything turns out fine- :'D
