Beniamin Akiro

## Summary

Beniamin Akiro is a male Mind Elemental, a child who has made bad mistakes but tries to be as helpful as possible.

He was born in Yuki village, his parents being Mirako Akiro and Mary Akiro.

## His Story

After Beniamin Akiro was born, Mirako and Mary had only three years of peace with their only child.

That was until Darkness Elementals appeared in Yuki Village. The villagers of Yuki Village were planning on attacking the group of 3 Darkness Elementals. Mirako, Ben's father, gave his son a writing feather, one that has been used and passed down many generations, and left the house to attack. Mirako never came back from the battle. It was said that two of the Darkness Elementals were slain, which left one that fled. He is most likely roaming the lands to this day.

When Beniamin was around 7 years old, Hiroki once met him as he was venturing through the village with Dan Combustus, his father. Ben and Hiro had a heated argument, which led to Hiroki burning the lower half of Ben's face off, disabling him from speaking for years.

After this tragedy, Mary, his mother, and Beniamin lived happily for 9 years. Mary taught him many things: from sewing to armour smithing. She was a very strong, independent and caring mother to Beniamin. Beniamin made many friends in the Yuki Village and got along with everyone in that village.

When Beniamin was 16, he left to venture lands outside the Yuki Village. He soon after went to the Grand Forest where 2 women attempted to kidnap him into their house. He was thrown into their basement for days as he dug his way out. He still hasn't confronted the women about this. Maybe he will do this someday.

He soon after met Kōri Hahen and Hiroki Honokara. A bond started to form between them. That was until Beniamin made the mistake of his life. While at Hiroki's house, he was alone with Hikari Nomota, Hiroki's wife. A demon possessed Beniamin's mind, manipulating him to perform horrible deeds. He decided to manipulate Hikari with his Mind to feel lustful towards him. This escalated to the point where they went to his household and almost did something ***fun***.

He, realising his mistake, brought her back to her household. After they confronted him, Beniamin ran back to his house in the mountains he made in his ventures, and burnt it down, leaving only one item untouched: a painting he made of Hikari.

Beniamin ran back to Yuki Village to reunite with his mother. He stayed with her for a day. Over the day that he stayed at Mary's household, he experienced a mental breakdown. It was a battle between his possessed Mind and himself. This put him in a worse state than after the confrontation, full of regret and somewhat suicidal.

The next day, he went back to Hiroki's household to make amends. This eventually led to him in the guest bedroom, suicidal. He was close to suicide when Hiroki threw it out of his hand, which slit open his arm. This led to half of his blood being lost, handicapping him to crutches or a wheelchair. This leads to now, a handicapped, inventive guy with mind manipulation.

Soon after, he found his mother dead in one of the tents he set up for her in the camp he had. Beniamin left his feather he had from his father on her grave. This has been Beniamin's latest tragedy.

## Characteristics

Beniamin is a calm person who likes to have some fun and joke around. However, Ben is very protective of the people he cares about, going to lengths like threatening or even murder to protect the ones he loves.

Beniamin tries to avoid unnecessary conflicts and will react in favour of his loved ones to any type of conflict.

Benny is born with two quirks: Inventor and Focus.

Beniamin is equipped with the Inventor quirk, which is the reason for all of Ben's inventions like the wheelchair (he calls a 'portable chair').

Focus is a quirk that Beniamin uses to concentrate his mind towards a certain element to perceive small details the normal human can't. However, Focus does have its flaws. Once the Focus quirk is in effect, Benny cannot hear or be aware of anything he is not focused on. This makes him vulnerable to external attacks.

## Aesthetics

Beniamin is a very skinny Mind Elemental, weighing way less than an average 17 year old due to his large blood loss. Beniamin has a white shirt and white pants. Ben also has a black cape with red outlines which covers most of the body. There is also a black cloth strung around the lower face of Beniamin, only showing his medium pink eyes and hair.
