Overall Style: Benji is young yet and has not really found his style. Not truly. Being an active and growing young man, Benji has prioritized comfort and ease over current trends in fashion. He often wears more form-fitting jeans and slightly baggy shirts. Most of his shirts are graphic teas that have his favorite band, or movie character on it. Though he does like simple plain tees at times especially when he wants to act older than his age. He accessorized with hoodies and light zip of jackets as he can get cold most days and feels more comfortable in layers, weather permitting. Benji wears simple athletic sneakers good for a wide range of activities but also able to stand up for long walks.

The Heart
Personality
Benji is a complicated guy who shares the best and worst of his parents. From his dad Kent, he gained his lover for the outdoors and his ease in social settings. Benji is an extrovert by nature and so he tends to get along with most people. Rarely shy, and hardly afraid, Benji exudes confidence in most aspects of his life. However, this often leads him to be impulsive times and somewhat quick to react when it would be better to wait. However, Benji is loyal to his friends and can be honest to a fault, never afraid to speak his mind but always there to stand up to those who would mistreat those he cares about.
From his dad James, he gets his love for learning and reading. James would tell him stories every night before bed and because of that, he can be caught reading when he is bored or when he finds a good book. James is curious about the world and the people it and so he is always interested in learning as much as he can about the world around him. Benji can be sometimes mocking of those who he does not view on his level and has a bit of a competitive streak as he secretly wants to be the smartest person in the room.
Benji has an open mind but needs strong boundaries and privacy, which can lead to him being distant, and secretive at times. He does not process liars or people betraying him at times which can lead him down a darker path if he is not careful. Benji has a lot of growing up to do yet and so could grow out of some of his bad habits and behaviors or he could very well grow some new ones.
The History
Early Years
Benji was born the only son of Kent and James Killian in Nice, France in the year 2043. Kent and James being a same-sex couple went through an agency where they found a wonderful surrogate. The couple raised Benji in a loving home that was filled to the brim with happiness, joy, and creativity. Kent at the time had a medical condition that not even magic could fix and so he made peace with the fact that the healers only gave him ten years to live. Benji was kept in the dark of his dad's condition for years and it was only out of necessity that he was told. But until then he was raised to believe that the world was a wonderful place and that creativity was a tool in his toolbox that he could paint the world in whatever way he fancied.
Kent was a stay at home dad, while Jamie was an accomplished writer and former school teacher. Benji was closest to Kent and being his biological father, rightly so but he loved Jamie just as much. Kent was always around while Jamie had to travel from time to time and spent most days writing his books. However, the family was always around each other and it was not hard to convince Jamie to put down the pen and to go on an adventure. They lived near the ocean and so their favorite thing to do was to go to the beach and play in the ocean or simply lay about and play make-believe. Jamie was always better at playing make-believe and he was the one who read to Benji and Kent every night before the boy drifted off to sleep.
All in all, Benji lived a wonderful life and it was only disrupted around the age of eight when Kent's condition got worse and harder to hide. Kent and Jamie sat down together and told Benji about Kent's weak heart and the news devasted the otherwise happy boy. But it was something that the couple felt that Benji need to know the truth of so that he could enjoy what time life they all had together. It was during the next two years that Benji and Jamie grew more distant as Benji felt that Jame had had his life with Kent before Benji was born. So every time the two would spend together alone, it felt like theft of Benji's time. Jamie and Benji fought more but it was kent that reminded them that an argument today was nothing more than tomorrow's regret.
Kent passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by Benji and Jamie along with their family. He did not suffer but it was hard still to say goodbye. After the funeral, Benji and Jamie began to grow a bit closer in their grief. Each trying to be strong for the other but failing a little along the way. Benji struggled to find joy while Jamie struggled to find his muse. Both fell into despair until one day Jamie said enough was enough. They needed to get out and away. So packing their things they moved to New Zealand where Jamie had spent part of his childhood.
They found a little cottage-like home to settle down in and Jamie attempted to get back to writing. Benji did not want to leave France at first but once he was in New Zealand he opened himself up to new possibilities. Luckily for him, he did not have long before he went off to Hogwarts. His journey of self-discovery started with his acceptance into the school.
