INFO

the eldest and only biological reeves child

he was so excited when his parents began adopting his siblings

he is so protective of his family and will do absolutely anything for them.

ben has always been the type of person to put those he cares about first, even if it meant putting himself out.

he doesn't want other people to worry about him so will always claim to be okay and put on a smile.

he's been trained to protect for as long as he can remember, skilled in both offensive/defensive spells and non-magical combat and weaponry.

he is partial to throwing knives but also typically has a sword concealed in a cane.

before the attack in 1784, ben had been working to protect someone when they were ambushed and he instantly jumped into the defensive.

everything was going just fine until more attackers appeared and he realised he was grossly outnumbered.

he knew there was no shame in retreating, as long as his client was safe and so he decided to apparate them elsewhere, however in the process he was hit by a curse, agony bursting through his back.

his client escaped unscathed but ben ended up having to spend a few months in st mungos, they managed to mostly heal the damage the curse caused however the nature of the curse meant that he would be stuck with a scarred back for life.

the injury knocked his confidence and it took a long time for him to get back out to work protecting others.

during the attack in 1784, benedict had been up in scotland protecting a different client, however once he heard what had happened he instantly returned home, ensuring his family were safe and jumping straight into assisting with the clear up.

the guilt of not being there and the constant what-ifs running through his mind of losing his siblings was nowhere near anything he had ever felt before.

he is as dedicated as ever to ensuring the protection of those he is hired to do, but his heart is not in it the way it was and he has found himself to be more anxious and unsure.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

the person he had been protecting when he got injured - perhaps it had been a gambling debt or blackmail being chased up

ex romance - he probably will have ended things after he was injured out of self-pity and the shame he felt.

the person who cast the curse - whether ben knows who it was or not can be plotted out

the person he is currently employed to protect.

Morden / Dawn Island -Tired, Probably wouldn't get enough sleep where they were -Beat up slightly, It wouldn't be a good place to be either

Morden / Sailor's Lodge -He's had good sleep -In much better condition than before

Morden / Curse Thief -Not quite tired, He looks… sickly. -Hair is a mess -Eyes are darker around the edges, the effect of the death curse (I am a "The curses effect your apperance slightly" thruther !!!)

Iris -Don't have alot of dot points really… Mostly just.. she gets less outright aggressive at the player.

Neviro / Cirrus -HE HAS A BEARD IN CIRRUS ?? -Much more "Put together" during cirrus

Neviro / Ravenna -Less put together here

Neviro / Wind-row -Scar on eyebrow from when Calvus attacked him

Gareth / Dawn Island -Similar points to Morden -Out of it, Majorly

Gareth / Adventuring -This is just. His regular look

Gareth / Time-skip -Bandages, Julien did a bit of damage -Tired. He gets four hours of sleep -slightly beat up, bad conditions -Hair is down
