Character

♦ General

---

An idealistic adventurer who has come to explore new lands and make friends. Whenever he's not delivering packages for the Heartwood Trading Company, Bennett's out looking for treasures or ruins to mess around in.

♦ Appearance

---

Bennett has rather short black hair with red highlights, and is usually smiling.
Bennett wears a Dalamud Red set of silk robes, trimmed with gold. Sakeru Wakeru made it for him as a birthday present, saying he should probably stop wearing his old coat.
No matter what, Bennett is always wearing a red headband. He believes it brings him good luck.

♦ Behaviour

---

Bennett is extremely immature and is prone to pull pranks.
Due to his age and lack of knowledge on Eorzea, Bennett is rather naïve.
Bennett can be heedless of danger, and will try to save people that he thinks are in trouble. This has been both good and bad, as he has unwittingly saved voidsent by doing this.
Most of the pranks that Bennett pulls will blow up in his face. Figuratively and literally.

Combat

Bennett is almost always wearing his robes because they conceal two very large daggers. He uses them to surprise someone rather than draw his sword.

• The Daggers: These knives are large enough to be considered smallswords, and are made out of steel. Bennett is proficient in fighting with two knives, and was even trained in how to use Mudras. Despite his training, Bennett is only as good as an average ninja. He will, however, use unorthodox tricks to hopefully bamboozle his foes.
• Longsword: One of his teachers from the Gladiator's Guild managed to find Bennett, and get him to return the Deflector. Bennett was told to seek his own blade, and build his own legend. Bennett's new sword is a Mythrite blade that hangs at his side. It bears a materia that makes the blade faster to swing, as well. He uses this sword either with one hand, or with both of them for faster strikes. Bennett no longer uses a shield, finding it cumbersome to sneak with.
• Healing Stick: To help him complete his duties as a medic, Bennett must carry around this staff. It aids him in healing anyone who managed to get themselves hurt. He has become more used to using the healing stick, and can now use it as a spell focus for casting any spell he knows.
• Fireworks: Bennett loves fireworks. In fights, he might throw a few to disorient his opponent.

Aside from that, Bennett carries around several bags, which hold fireworks, teleport crystals, and random potpourri from his adventures.

Magic Powers

Bennett's family have always been naturally gifted with the use of aether. Before coming to Eorzea, Bennett had never bothered with it. Now, he uses it almost every day to help him get by.

• When using his casting rod, Bennett uses basic and second-level spells. He tries to use his abilities in ways that his opponents will never predict to counter his own inability to use more powerful spells.
• With his healing stick, Bennett can use conjury to heal most wounds. This, however, drains him.

★ Recent RP events ★

About a week ago, Bennett went to see his mother at Vesper Bay. While on the way back to the Shroud, he was ambushed by Skyfwyb Aergankawyn and her crew, who proceeded to kill Amagori and leave. Along with that, Skyf and her crew had actually killed Bennett's real family many years ago. Knowing this, he has sworn a vengeance against the pirate. Since then, Bennett has gone to Merycidiya to find his last living family member, Dandri. Thankfully, Dandri was unhurt, and now lives with him in the Shroud. With no living guardians remaining, Bennett and Dandri have been adopted by Rath Alarone and Nyscera Alarone.

*NOT DONE, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE TO ADD TO THIS*

💘 Crush 💗 Sexual Desire ❤ In love with 💑 In a relationship ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing

Friends ● Dandri Cooper – Bennett's younger brother. Originally, the two were going to explore Eorzea together, but Dandri was taken home to Merycidia before joining the Conjurer's guild fully. Knowing his brother is still at home, Bennett writes to him regularly. ● Sakeru Wakeru – Bennett's best friend. Despite his odd past, Sakeru has calmed down a lot. He makes many morbid jokes to cope for what he'd done in the past. Bennett thinks that Sakeru's jokes are both funny and scary at the same time. ● Kaiya Ailbhe – The head doctor at Heartwood. She has taught Bennett most of what he knows about healing people, as well as all he knows about fixing wounds without use of aether. Bennett regards her as one of the smartest people in Heartwood. ● Vektis Sol – One of the Executives of Heartwood. Bennett sees Vektis like an older brother, and believes that what he sees in Vektis is what Dandri sees in him as an older brother. Regardless, Vektis is one of the coolest guys Bennett has met in Eorzea, and is undoubtedly the bestest. ● Tynos Riller – One of Heartwood's more serious executives. Bennett's first encounter with Tynos was during a sparring match against him. He was defeated in an instant. Bennett regards Tynos as one of the most powerful members of Heartwood, and is usually called on by him to pull pranks on others. ● Nyscera Alarone – One of Heartwood's executives, and Bennett's teacher in the ways of the ninja. Bennett sees Nyscera as one of Heartwood's nicest members, as well as an extremely patient teacher. Nyscera was also the first Heartwood member that Bennett ever met. ● E'kari Sol – Vektis' wife, and a good friend of Bennett. The two trained under Nyscera to learn how to fight more effectively, and her ability to mix conjury with pugilism is extremely formidable. During a prank gone awry, Bennett found himself in E'kari's body. Needless to say, the two became one of soul. ● Arylisse Dayhelm – Sakeru's adoptive mother. Arylisse used to work at Heartwood as a doctor of sorts, and was one of the first White Mages that he'd met in Eorzea. At the time, he didn't know that White Magic was forbidden. Regardless of rule-breaking, Bennett see's Ary as one of the kindest people he'd ever met, and still tries to visit her often at her new job. ● Conrad Godsbane – Possibly one of the strongest people Bennett has ever met, next to Tynos. Conrad is a huge guy who did a lot of fighting in his time, and Bennett sees him as a hero of the past. Knowing how strong Conrad is, Bennett finds it to be a good idea to practice sneaking around him. After all, if he can hide from the Ala Mhigan meat mountain, he can hide from anyone! ● Zana Amaro – A thief turned mechanic who works at Heartwood. Kaiya brought her into the company, seems to have taught her a lot as well. Zana's also really fun to be around, and teaches Bennett about the thieves' code. While Bennett has no intention of becoming a true thief, he finds the code honorable, and sticks by it.

Acquaintances ● Saruna Verselo – This guy had intervened to help Kett get her books back, and threatened to cut off Bennett's hand for them. However, he's also helped Bennett escape Jebei Dotharl once. Bennett doesn't really know what to think about this odd man. ● Tyo'li Tayuun – The Collective guy. Bennett was first hired by Enkhjargal Dalamiq to protect Tyo from harm, but no harm came to him during that time. Bennett held on to the special linkpearl he was given, and eventually wound up delivering things to the Black Vault. Tyo was one of the only members of the Eldritch collective who have not either tried to eat him or outright kill him whenever he sneaks into the Vault. Ever since he left the Collective, Bennett has never seen him again. ● Enkhjargal Dalamiq – The serious guy. Along with Nyscera Alarone, Enkh was one of the first Heartwood members that Bennett had ever met. Enkh used to work for Heartwood, but eventually left to join with Camille Everardi. While Enkh was still in Heartwood, Bennett didn't get to speak with him much. However, Enkh did offer Bennett a job once to protect Tyo'li Tayuun. At some point, Bennett intends to revisit Enkh and show him some of the cool stuff he finds on adventures. Enemies & Rivals ● C'tadhara Kett - The crazy slasher. Bennett first learned of Kett while investigating slashings that occured in Pearl Lane in Ul'dah. To prevent her from hurting more people, Bennett resolved to steal her summoning books. Kett still wants them back. ● Skyfwyb Aergankawyn - The worst pirate. Skyf is responsible for the death of most of Bennett's family, and killed his mother directly in front of him. Bennett has sworn to get Skyf back for what was done, and trains to one day claim this vengeance.
