Growing up amongst the poor of Ul'Dah he learned how little the world cares for those at the bottom. Despite the odds he pulled himself from the gutter and dedicated his life to the protection and defense of the downtrodden. Choosing a simple life he wandered from place to place, finding shelter where he could and offering aid where it was most needed. He never asked for payment or praise for his deeds as he saw it as his duty. Years of sacrifice, personal failures, missed loves, and lamented opportunities, have left their mark upon him and slowly the seeds of resentment for a life spent in service have begun to take root in his soul. Dark thoughts creep at the edges of his mind as he fights to continue on his chosen path. His mind was thus when he took an ill-fated trip to Ishgard and came upon the dark knight soul crystal . . . Benedict is a male midlander in his mid-thirties and a medium athletic build. He is about average height, maybe slightly on the shorter end of average. Despite his height he strikes a commanding visage with his striking blue eyes and mess of white hair that has turned black at the edges since he picked up the dark knight crystal. Much of his overall visage depends on his mood. When he is happy and enjoying life he tends to carry only a dagger and dress rather simply in earth tones and is considered warm, welcoming, and even charming by some standards. When he is feeling burdened and worn down by the world around him and his place in it he tends to dress in darker colors as he becomes quite antisocial, cold, aggressive, and openly carries his greatsword with him everywhere. Benedict has always been a man ruled by his emotions and now that he holds the Dark Knight Soul Crystal this is even truer. Benedict is still finding himself and as such he is prone to some very intense mood swings. The dark knight crystal pulls emotions out from him that he had thought buried or long forgotten. This has given him both an extreme appreciation for the moments of joy and happiness, as well as, a deep and intense anger when it comes to past failures and sacrifices. Essentially given Benedict a rollercoaster of emotions that rise and fall like a great tide. If he does not be careful and learn to control it then it will destroy everything he still holds dear. 5 traits that describe Benjamin Whiteraven: Quiet Loyal Persistent Wanderlust Emotional Likes Relaxing by the water Good Company with old friends Strong willed individuals Traveling/Seeing the world Loyalty Dislikes Cruelty Entitlement Garleans Sand Prudish behavior Hobbies/Talents Woodcraft/Botany Swordsmanship Sailing Cartography Quirks Ben is an avid listener and in most cases he will wait to be asked direct questions before volunteering information.
