The time sauntered along as Simon flipped through his book, the occasional leaf hitting him. The words flew by. Then it was pages. Chapters. Soon enough, he was on time, then he was late. He checked his watch, and cursed under his breath. He had kept his running abilities of times past, and ran at a pace that most people could not keep up for that distance. People, blocks, buildings, all flew past him like a blur. He needed to get to this meeting, it'd be very embarrassing to show up a large amount late.
Soon enough he made it, going down the stairs at record speed, and burst through the doors of the announcement hall, completely out of breath, panting for a break. There was one seat for him, as he was a well known scientist, at the very end of the table. He closed the large metallic doors, and took and slumped in the leather chair, trying to catch a breath.
Everyone was there, and as he looked up, he realized everyone was staring at him. He slumped back into his chair,and tuned into listen to the meeting. Lulu was standing in the center at the very end of the room. As Simon adjusted himself to look presentable again, he recognized many people that he had worked with before, and nodded in recognition towards the many of them.
As Simon rose from his bed, groggily as ever, he crawled over to a tea kettle over his counter. He placed multiple tea bags in and waited, imputing energy to boil the water. Simon had no heating devices, but did have a fridge. His gift completely removed the need for them. Soon enough, his blueberry tea filled the room with a nice smell, and Simon poured himself a cup, while looking out his window. It was a beautiful day outside, but he wasn't planning on spending any of it outside. His job could just barely pay for his house, let alone everything else he needed, so his money slowly ran out, and needed to complete a different type of "job" to get back that money, and as an overqualified chemist, there was one shining one.
Just as he was completing his cup, and heading to go complete his mysterious objective, a message came in through his headset. It was Lulu, his Scientific Officer. They had worked for a while as partners, and when she got promoted, he was put under her command. She had obviously started her day much more successfully than him, as she stated, "Good morning, team leads and representatives. This is Commander Botrelle, checking in to remind you of your expected attendance at this morning’s quarterly research forum. We have a visiting guest, and several matters to discuss, so I expect to see every one of your lovely faces in the Oak Room on Level One Below in fifteen.” He sighed as she said this, and realized his "side project" had to wait for later.
He strode back into his room, and got dressed with the usual, and headed out to the meeting. As he walked along the street he saw many people, some he knew, and some he didn't. He continued business as usual, until he came upon a very beautiful park, complemented by the beautiful day. He checked his watch, and realized he was quite early, and sat down on a park bench, taking it all in, and brightening his day. He spoke to himself, in a low, but audible tone, "On days like these, I sometimes wish I had a better job, or a higher position at least. At least I can distract myself from my boring life every now and then with scenes like these." He took a deep breath, and started to read a novel that he read on his small amount of free time. Pilot
The plane was cold, an offsetting tone to the heat that Ben was used to. He sat and waited as the plane, personal listening device plugged into the port, listening to his own type of music. As he glanced around, he noticed a scarred woman clutching a small pill with a colored piece of paper inside, looking anxious and worried. He scoffed and went back to listening to his music, not paying attention to anyone else, and thinking about how fast the training was. It was a large cocktail of emotions. He was quickly chosen to become this "Herald", that he had never heard about. The training was so fast, and yet he was so efficient with it, quickly surpassing even his own expectations, and now this.
Speaking of cocktails, Ben was getting quite thirsty. He grumbled to himself, unplugged the music, and pressed the drinks button. Near instantly, they hovered over to him, and in a "droning" nature, they stated, "We have non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, which would you like sir?"
He grumbled, in a low volume, and in rather grungy tone, he squeezed out, "I'd like an alcoholic vodka. An entire glass, the strongest you have," and like that, they rushed off to get what he ordered.
Again, they rushed out, just barely missing to spill the vodka he had ordered, and placed it down, "Have a nice flight, and thank you for gracing us with your presence." Ben wondered as they hovered away, and thought. Wow, I really am a really important person, but just as quickly as it came up, he brushed it off. He was going to the place he was going, with all these unfamiliar people, and he just wanted to see Raza, his EXO. He plugged in his music again, and droned into thought, trying to resolve all the things that could happen in his future.
As he sipped his vodka, he remembered all those memories in the past, and how they all led up, separating what mattered and what didn't. Seeing all the different paths his life could play out, and realized that this all happened for a reason.
But then, in that moment. That unbearable boredom, he just wanted some action. And that came to him quick. He wanted off soon.
Age 40 Gender Male or Fidget Spinner Race Buvolan Former Allegiance The Iron Jackals Role EXO Soldier Personality Ben has a rather deep voice, and keeps to himself, not choosing a social interaction unless necessary. If Ben has never met you before, then he will act slightly hostile and passive aggressive. Because of this, many friends are repelled at first, but if you continue, and as he starts to warm up to you, then he becomes nicer and nicer of a person. Once a bond has been made, he is extremely trusting, and will do anything to protect a friend in need. Insults rarely get to Ben and usually jokes about them in a self demeaning way. He doesn't strive to prevent failure, but instead, embraces failure, and tries to fix himself from them. Ben views the life around him as a set of barriers that one must pass, and doesn't think much of the events themselves, and just tries to go with them accordingly. Physical Description Ben rarely takes his apparel off, and the apparel in the picture is the usual attire. Ben is tall at 7'1" yet quite skinny for how beefy he is at 140 lbs. On the rare occasions anyone sees under the clothing, IE. in his own home, then you'd be able to see that Ben's skin isn't very rough at all, and is quite smooth. His body is well kept in the conditions he lives in. He has a rather normal jaw, ears, yet large, piercing green eyes. He also has quite high cheekbones, and a thin face. History At a young age, he became quite obsessed with the God Children, and, being born in the Iron Jackal territory, became quite obsessed with Sansavi especially. As he grew up, he learned more and more about them and their positions of the people they control. He loved how radical Sansavi was and how she stood up when her brothers and sisters didn't. As he grew, he tried joining The Grand Army of the Jackals, but never could for classified reasons. As he grew, he always loved the stories of EXO suit pilots and MEO suits, especially EXO. One day, she decided to make one. It was ramshackle, but it worked. This taped together mass was named Raza, meaning hope. Raza and Ben wandered through Iron Jackal territory, until he was called to go to The Lotus Mirage, a legendary floating city. He was trained to become a Herald, and Ben passed with flying colors, as he had aged and trained from trying to join the Iron Jackal's Army. Now extremely intrigued with the new God Child's views and beliefs, he waits, and anticipates. Skills Living in the Enviornment:Increased resistance to the heat and lack of water/food of the planet. Can survive alone for a longer period using superior scavenging and knowledge of plants and animals. Experienced EXO Pilot:Because Ben uses an EXO suit so often, he can use it with an increased proficiency. Can also perform repairs on the EXO faster and better than most normal EXO pilots. There is also an increased effectivity of modifications on an EXO. EXO Mods:Can overdrive an EXO to double all abilities, but uses power extremely fast and can make or break a battle. Kind of a last stand sort of ability. Absolver Tech S-MRCB: The first weapon that the EXO uses is a Short-Mid Range Chemical Burner. This beast has a storage tank of two different chemical compounds on the back. When the trigger is pulled, they are mixed in a chamber, where they heat up to tempuratures about 1/4 the tempurature of the surface of the sun (approxamately 2,500F) They are then shot out depending on a filter the user can put on the front that varies the spray pattern from a long, precise stream to a hose that can cover large areas of land, of course using more chemicals in the process, as more liquid is being launched. This can be used in a 1v1 scenario with a small stream, to the large hose aspect for large creatures, or large amounts of creatures
RPIED's: A support weapon to the first, but still powerful on its own. The EXO is stocked with 10 of these. A design made by Ben himself. The Rocket Propelled Ion Explosive Device is a rocket that is held in 2 batteries on the side of the EXO with 5 in each. They are propelled upwards and turn to the aimed target. On detonation, these will send bits and pieces of super heated ion fragments into the surrounding area with an EMP explosion, not enough to kill, but can cause enough chaos to send them into range of the S-MRCB. They have a impacting radius of 30m, but by then, only one shard might hit you, enough to cause mild pain, but probably wont go through the armor, if it does, you can still go on, but it would be painful. Equipment & Accessories EXO Survivalist Materials: This specific EXO has a small water pouch on it's backpack, as well as a thermal insulator for keeping some foods cold. Raza has 2 intakes so that the user can breath in most locations because of the advanced air filters. EXO Suit Raza: The EXO of choice for Ben, it has been with him all his life, as he had made it himself, as well as most of the items on board.
Grasscutter: A small blade that Ben uses in the rare cases he has a conflict outside of his EXO. It also serves as an heirloom to him, and keeps it on him at all times.
Miscellaneous N/A The Sixth Child's Gift Ben will give the sixth God Child a talisman that his mother gave him at the age of 5, and has kept ever since as a lucky charm. It's going to be hard to part with as it means a great deal to him.
