( O V E R A L L )[/COLOR] Benjamin isn't a very serious man. He's kind of like a big kid himself, which is why he loves teaching and interacting with teenagers so much. He likes to joke around and make school fun the best he can, which as a physed teacher is quite easy to do. He likes to be the teacher that the kids can come to if they need help with anything, and usually finds it hard to keep his proper distance from friendships with his students.

Ben is a nice guy. He means well, but sometimes he doesn't know when to shut up. He warms up to other people quickly but doesn't often make enemies. He just doesn't hold grudges or hold on to anger long enough for people to justify being his enemy. He gives everyone a chance, and forgives others easily. He finds that life is a whole lot easier when you have friends to watch your back, not enemies trying to stab it. Overall he's a nice guy.

LEANING NOW INTO THE BREEZE, REMEMBERING SUNDAY HE FALLS TO HIS KNEES.

Ben was born the first of three triplets. Since their parents were teachers the three boys were homeschooled. The three boys were the best of friends as they grew up, but as they became older and got more into school it quickly became clear that there was a major difference between Benjamin and his two 'younger' brothers. Whereas Robbie and Taren were decent students, Benjamin excelled in all ways. He soaked up information like a sponge and never forgot what he learned. He soon was years ahead in schooling than his brothers, practically a child prodigy. The favouritism that their parents had for their 'genius' son caused a rift between the triplets even at young ages, but overall blood was thicker than anything else and they still got along fairly well.

When Benjamin was eight he had his first teleportation experience. He was having a fight with his brothers, and they went up into the family treefort, pulling up the ladder to keep Ben on the ground. Now, little Benny didn't like that at all. In fact he hated it. He wanted to be up there. He wanted to be playing with his brothers. He wanted to have fun. He wanted to be in the treefort.

And then he was.

Naturally, Taren and Robbie freaked out. Who wouldn't? Their 'hated' brother had materialized out of thin air. They let down the ladder and ran screaming from the treefort. Their parents had chalked it up to childish imagination and calmed the two youngest boys, telling them that they were scaring their baby sister. So the boys calmed down, and a very mystified Ben went to bed with a mind full of questions.

He tried to do it again over the next few nights, but he just couldn't teleport on will. Eventually Ben gave up, thinking that maybe he'd imagined the whole teleporting into the treehouse scenario. Two weeks later, however, he woke up on the roof. The roof of the two story house three doors down. This was harder to explain. Sleepwalking? All doors were locked. Ben's bedsheets lay as though someone had been lying in them moments before, with the faint outline of his figure underneath. There was no easy access to the roof either. No sheds to climb off of. No ladders. No nearby trees.

The story of 'The Roof Boy' made the news all over the area. It took over a month for things to die down. The official assumption was actually that Ben had been kidnapped in the night, but for some reason just dumped on a roof with no sign of injury? The story was basically a way to say that no one had any clue what was going on.

The news stories caught the eye of a young woman on Summer vacation. She was a student at Power's Academy, and the moment she returned to school she talked to the current headmaster. Two weeks later Ben left home, his brothers, sister, and parents, and went to Power's Academy.

With schooling Ben's ability flourished. By the age of thirteen he'd discovered he could go to China. He passed out immediately after arriving there, and missed two weeks of school for some tourism (for which he was heavily scolded), but he now knew what he was capable of. Now knowing that he could go anywhere he wanted he signed himself up for every language course available at the school, and taught himself languages that would be useful but not available. His high IQ was finally paying off.

Ben graduated at the age of eighteen, and spent a few years travelling the world, visiting his family, and enjoying life. He returned to Power's Academy last summer to apply for a job and has gotten one as the Physed Teacher, so watch out Power's Academy, he's back.

( S A M P L E P O S T )[/B][/COLOR] Sky pulled her eyes away from the young man when he stepped away so that she wouldn't stare, whether she meant to or not. She let her gaze wander around to the people that continued to walk by in clumps around the pair standing in the middle of the street. She noticed a few frustrated, or maybe they were simply curious, glances directed towards them from passers by who were irked by having to move a few feet to get around them. Sky wasn't bothered by the looks. It wasn't exactly a hardship for people to take a few extra steps, and it wasn't as though she and Tris were blocking off the entire street and allowing not a single person to pass by. Besides, the convenience of others was something that was pretty hard to focus on right now.

She looked back at him with a grin, glad that she was in a good mood and wasn't automatically irritated with the world. That'd make this meeting go sour quickly. "Almost. Not quite; Just my bag fell down, I didn't," she had to remind him, pausing a moment afterwards to rethink, "though I guess that that was really only because of you." Yeah, it would have just been a bit embarrassing if she'd fallen flat on her face in front of him. Sure, the collision may have been his fault in his eyes, but she would still be the one lying on the cold, stone ground, so ultimately she was pretty sure that she'd be the more embarrassed one.

Without even meaning to, she looked him up and down once. The uniforms weren't a look that worked on everyone. Actually, on some people they were positively disgusting, baggy in all the wrong spaces, loose and unfitting, or just unflattering for no particular reason. Tristan's uniform, though, didn't look bad at all. Nowhere near bad, actually. And the hair didn't usually fit with the whole Naval image, but Tristan could pull that off, too. Very well. Sky mentally hit herself. It wasn't like she was seeing Tristan for the first time, though they really hadn't spent any time together not on duty before this. She shouldn't be admiring his looks and nurturing her interest in them. Strictly professional relationships; that was the only thing she could even think about having with her coworkers. It wasn't exactly a Naval policy, but it was one of her own. She hadn't had a boyfriend since she'd left the Academy because she wanted to take these first few years to help her career along, and she couldn't focus on that with a relationship or a stupid little crush that popped up out of nowhere after a chance encounter. "Um... yeah," she finally said once she collected her thoughts and realized that she had been silent for a few seconds. She hated that, but she seemed to get lost in thought in the middle of conversations often. "You're going to boil if you stay in that. Today's a hot day."

Sky shrugged with a slight sigh. She hadn't had many days off lately. Every day seemed to be cut in half with a patrol or a guard shift or cleaning up The Sword. Now that she looked back on the day so far, it kind of seemed like it was a waste. Going to the beach? Aimlessly chatting with a friend? Wandering around? None of those were really productive or exciting. She could do them any day. "Nah, not really," she agreed. "But it could be worse. At least I didn't have anything to do for the rest of the day and had a bit of time to myself. I prefer evening patrols, or morning patrols, to shifts that cut the day in two."

She giggled a bit, straightening her tank top, at his final comment. "That could probably raise a few questions," Sky teased. "So I guess I'm glad it was me instead, to save you the embarrassment of explaining exactly why you had your arms wrapped around another guy."

YOU WERE FAKE, I WAS GREAT--NOTHING PERSONAL
