He's very friendly, easily able to strike up a conversation with just about anyone. With friends, he tends to yell out their name, then jump on their backs or shoulders affectionately as a greeting. Because of his adorable face and attitude, he tends to get out of trouble a lot with his signature puppy-dog eyes. He's also very curious and nosey, making sure he knows exactly what everyone's doing before he moves on to any other topics. [B][u]- Backstory -[/b][/u] Benny was born in to a loving family on the small island of Krukow, a sleepy little island where just about nothing happen. As soon as he could talk, he talked [i]a lot.[/i] He was social at the youngest age one could possibly be social, first with his parents, then with kids at school, after that his teachers, and finally, at the age of 5, he even talked to complete strangers. Due to the islands friendly nature, his parents didn't see any danger in it, so they let Benny walk and talk to random people as he pleased. One man, a traveler, gave him a mechanical butterfly toy out of kindness for talking with him. He still carries it around today. At the age of 7, Benny discovered that he was a mage in a very unfortunate event. At recess during a school day, another kid stole his butterfly toy and refused to give it back. After trying to get it back, Benny became agitated, and generated an explosion while letting out a scream of frustration. The explosion was small, but with the overwhelming concentration of kids, Benny managed to hurt a lot of children, himself and the thief included. His parents rushed to the school after a phone call was made, and Benny was rushed home. Thankfully, Benny didn't get too hurt from his generated explosion, but the same couldn't be said for most of the other kids caught in the explosion, most needing to spend a few nights in the hospital. An investigation was held as to what exactly caused the explosion. No one was able to pinpoint the exact cause of the explosion, but most fingers were pointed at Benny. For a period of time, he was taught at home by a private tutor, as he was banned from the public school for a while out of fear. However, after a few months, the incident was forgotten, and he was allowed back in to school. However, a lot of the school, the kids caught in the explosion especially, weren't very welcome of Benny once he returned, steering clear of him as often as possible, shooting glares at him whenever they got close. [B][u]- Classification -[/b][/u] Black Mage [B][u]- Skills/Techniques -[/b][/u] Happy Aura - Being around Benny is usually enough to turn anyone's bad day in to a better one, however slight that change may be. His persistent nature helps this along greatly. Jumping/Climbing - Benny has a tendency to jump on people he knows as a greeting, so he's developed an exceptional jumping height, able to jump on to people's backs or shoulders with a single bound. If said person is taller than the average human, then Benny will climb up said persons body after jumping and latching on to it until he's reached a comfortable position. Explosion - Benny has only been able to use this ability once. When Benny is in a distressed mood, he'll let out a loud scream, releasing a lot of his stored mana at once to generate an explosion. The explosion damages everything within range of it, Benny included, however he does have a little bit of resistance to it. [B][u]- Equipment -[/b][/u] Mechanical Toy Butterfly - A butterfly that Benny received from a traveler. It's able to fly by itself, powered by solar and Aura energy. It has an AI system, able to memorize a few people as friendly. It's also able to recognize strangers. It usually tends to avoid unfamiliar faces, but if Benny is near said stranger, the butterfly will fly over their heads, just out of reach. Benny has named the butterfly Archibald, calling it by that or Archy. [B][u]- Position -[/b][/u] Possibly a lookout. Not a lot a little kid can do on a ship crew...
