He alike many other Egyptian's has a olive complexion that tan's nicely under Egypt's desert heat. He has dark curly hair that sometimes falls over into his eyes, when it gets to this point he makes sure to run his next cut by Tia or essentially let her cut his hair for her early approval. He usually keeps his hair short to keep him cool in his dry, oven like home. Benjamin dresses as the Egyptian people do, linen clothing to keep cool on a usual 120 degree day a scarf like cloth best used during sand storms. He is a bit more richly dressed then he was when he lived in the Slums with his uncle his clothing has better quality and a certain shimmer that only aristocrats clothes contain. He is still unsure of what Amun does for a living but they are living comfortably and their threads show that. Shoe wise around the temple Benjamin usually is barefoot but when roaming either the ruins or the palace court yard he is wearing shoes that are a slip on type and have very little arch to them. They are easy to put on and most comfortable. (toms)

HISTORY: Benjamin was frozen at the age of fifteen, he is 197 years old and was born in Cairo Egypt, August 13th, 1800. He has brilliant ruby red eyes that change to black when thirsty. He has black hair that is cut short, and olive complexion. He stands at five feet and seven inches. He was an orphan at a young age and never knew his father growing up in the slums he learned to pick pocket and to appeal to the people with his gift. His is Atmoskinesis, he is in control of the elements, he can physically manipulate them anyway he wishes. Benjamin is very independent and seeks to please his creator, Amun, but dictates his own actions by right and wrong. His mate is Tia who is actually a distant relative of his and they have known each other since they were human children.
Benjamin lived with his uncle until he was fifteen and that was when he came across Amun and Kebi. Amun changed him and took him back to his temple with his mate who cared for Benjamin like the mother he never had. Ben was scared when he woke up to the burning sensation in his throat Kebi was there and she had a way of calming him. The first few years of living with the two Benjamin was very attached to Kebi whom he saw as a mother figure. Though the closer he grew to Amun the further apart Kebi and himself grew apart. She became jealous of his relationship with her mate and a bitterness came toward him. Benjamin didn't understand what had happened but he tries to mind his manners around her to win her affection back. Tia his mate, he begged Amun to let him change her..Ben was becoming lonely and the fond memories he had of the two of them as human children made his yearning for her companionship even more. When Amun finally agreed Ben asked her to run away with him he knew she could tell he was different but she wasn't scared, Ben took them to somewhere private a cave like place he had created for Tia to get use to the life of being a vampire. She joined their coven and since the the two have been inseparable. Benjamin is very loyal to Tia and would do anything for her, or Amun and Kebi. They are his family.

RP SAMPLE:"Benjamin get up" he heard his uncle's harsh words and the stabbing in his side the man was trying his hardest not to push the boy off of the bed. Ben shifted to face the man giving him a bit of a wolfy grin. "Uncle..I said I was up.." the boy sat up on the mattress that was filled with year old cotton. "You said that an hour ago. We have work to do." the man left no room for arguing as he exited back into small room that was there living space. Benjamin looked around for the time.."Half past noon," it was about three o'clock in the afternoon. They needed to get onto the street to earn money for tonight's dinner. It was nice to have someone after those years of trying to make it on his own... his mother had died after his sixth birthday..leaving him to the slums of Cairo to fend for himself. That meant stealing..and begging and how he hated to beg. Benjamin was to prideful to beg for help..his Uncle Horas found him when he was ten, getting in trouble for stealing an apple off of a cart in the market place. The boy hadn't eaten in a week and was starving the man could have let him have it..but instead called the local authorities.. the fifteen year old shook his head. Today was the day they would reveal his abilities through out his dance.
He stood to his feet stretching his dark colored hair was matted from his slumber. "What a beautiful day.." a small smile crossed his boyish features.."Uncle? today is the day we incorporate the tricks?" the man nodded his head. "Yes, you will dance, captivate the women with the fire tricks that I taught you." He was standing in front of the man a smug smile on his face. "Woo the women got it." he needed to stretch..tonight was going to be a long night and though the desert sand stayed quiet heated during the day at night it would cool to where even the strongest creature would tremble by the midnight chill. Benjamin would practice until Horas commanded him to stop and that was until six in the evening. When they would take the streets, his tricks were better seen at night and would most likely be more attractive at late hour.
Ben let a low sigh escape his lips as he stood under the moon lit night, the street lamps shown in and out in the slums nothing was completely nice. The music began to play, he watched as a small crowd gathered around this was his time to shine..where all the practicing would pay off. He could hear the oo's and ahh's while he moved, he moved in such ways that it was hard not to watch, he looked to his Uncle for the okay to turn the heat up. Benjamin rubbed his hands together as the music played on and he got the crowd clapping and cheering away he clapped his hands together once and the fire appeared, some were bewildered at such a trick but others were enchanted by it. "Did you see that? His hands were on fire yet the flame did not burn him?" "How did he do that? Must be some sort of magic trick" "Mommy I want to learn how to do that too!" "Brilliant!" the crowd was eating it up. "More!" he heard a woman call his tricks got more complex this was the furthest his Uncle had taught him so far he hoped it was enough..though when he got a chance to glance down at the hat it was to the point it was overflowing. They would need to empty that before..someone tried to rob them.
He had not seen the man staring his way he was lost in the crowd watching in amazement just as everyone else. Benjamin was not aware of this man..the man that would change his life forever. The crowd started to die down..and people parted their ways and went back to there homes for the night..it was starting to get rather dark out and everyone knew it was not safe..there were things..unnatural things that roamed the streets at night, the superstitious believed it to be a warning from the gods..Benjamin heard the man call out to him. "You there." he turned his head to face him, naive he did not question the man or his actions. "The thing you did with the fire? That was some trick." he shrugged, he was not there to brag he was only trying to make enough money to eat for the week. "You think nothing of your gift?" Gift? Since when was conjuring up fire from your hands a gift..it was the devil's touch was it not? Benjamin started to move away from the man..who was he and what did he want with him.."Do not be afraid.." the man's eyes were like a empty void..dark and cold..
Little did he know that his uncle had been killed by the man's mate, Kebi, who had seduced his uncle before she drank him dry. "Wh-what are you going to do with me?" he asked..he was looking for away to run. "We wish to offer you a home." Home? He already had one, with his Uncle, they did not have much but it was enough to satisfy the young boy. He had little time to react before the man had his teeth sinked into his neck..the boys hazel eyes widened as a sharp pain coursed through his veins..what was happening..where was his Uncle? Who were these people..when he awoke he was in a temple. The man was there along with the woman who's name he had heard. "Kebi check on the boy..see if he has come through.." the woman did not like the boy already..she knew that Amun would spend his time shaping and sculpting this boy into something of use, a weapon. She bent down beside the boy placing a hand on his cheek. Benjamin jolted up his eyes wide in fear he backed away from the ruby eyed woman. "Who are you!" his voice trembled..his body was cold..colder than normal..he knew that the midnight air was fierce but this..this did not feel normal. "Do not be scared my child.." Kebi whispered in a soft voice. It was almost like music the boy furrowed his brows at her. "We will teach you.." she gave him a dazzling smile before standing to her feet and offering out her hand. "Come, I want you to meet my husband."
Benjamin was hesitant..his throat hurt and no matter how much he swallowed the burning didn't go away. He took her hand getting to his feet and placed his hand over his throat. "I know young one, we will hunt later.." Hunt!? were these people crazy!? what would they be hunting? Amun was in the temple's court yards making place for Benjamin to practice his abilities. There was a pool for water work, and plenty of torches to practice fire. "Evening Benjamin." the man knew his name? But how? he did not question him he just nodded it hurt to much to breath much less speak. "You will learn to control your thirst..my son." the man referred to him as his son? Was this man his father..perhaps he had not seen it before..he had never known his father..maybe this man was that man. "If you are willing to learn I will teach you, help you learn to control the elements." Ben nodded slowly.
He had finally found somewhere to belong, the couple were kind and took him into his home after his Uncle had been brutally murdered..they were his family now..and he would depend on them to show him the way, of this new life..he had entered..
