Name: Benjamin J. “Ben” Powell Gender: Male Age: 17 Grade: 12th grade School: Bayview Secondary School Hobbies and Interests: Fencing, Scouts, Statistics and Maths, Music (mostly alternative, techno and trance) Appearance: Palely white-skinned, and sitting in at around 130lb (60kg) and around 5.5ft (170cm), he’s skinny to the point of being underweight, although he claims to be an unhealthy eater and blames it on his metabolism. In the physical department, he has been quoted to be “more bony than a skeleton”, end quote. Dark brown long hair covers his face almost to the point of covering his dark blue eyes. His face looks slightly pinched, to match the rest of his body, with a bit of stubble on his chin. Supports no scars or blemishes, apart from the odd pimple. He prefers to sport a range of t-shirts to fit the situation, but mostly contingent shirts from Jamborees and Ventures overseas when it’s just casualwear. At the time of the hijack, he was lucky with his clothes, wearing his dark blue hike zip-pants ((editor: the type that you can change into shorts, and back again)), and rugged worn-out hike boots. The straight-blue t-shirt happens to be from an overseas expedition, which ironically states the slogan on the back “I escaped…” Biography: Benjamin was born on the 7th February to Margaret and Harry Powell in Sydney, Australia. Margaret is currently a social worker, and Harry a manager for an IT software company. He also has a sister, Sarah Powell, who is now 15 and starting senior high school. Ben has a good, if not stable relationship with his family, with no major problems at home, although he regrets that his parents work from dawn till dusk 5 days a week, only really seeing each other on weekends and holidays, which they try to do regularly. Ben is pretty much the go-to guy if you need a hand with anything. Always wanting to try something new, he tries to be as approachable as possible. He regards his friends highly and believes in “quality over quantity”, as they say. Even then, he tries to keep at least what he calls a “neutral relationship” with everybody, and doesn’t like to get into an argument. If he sees a problem, he tries to solve it in the fairest way possible, usually taking “Plan C” to new levels. He currently does not have a girlfriend and does not plan on at this time. His early years he found to be quite easy, living up in the southern side of Sydney. Ben constantly strived to try new things, joining Scouts when he was 8, and doing various sports, primarily cricket and Australian Rules football. He also took up jazz and tap dancing for 2 years as part of a badge for cubs. Friends for Ben were mainly from almost opposite sides of the spectrum: both from scouting and sports and from the maths and sciences. This eventually got to the point in later years where he had to drop some of his sports in order to be able to do other things outside of school. Going up to High School, he dropped his sports to just Scouts, leaving more time with friends. In Scouts he started to get into hiking and rogaining, and eventually ended up at some of the scouting events held around Australia, being PL at the Australian Jamboree. 4 years ago, Harry Powell received an offer for a job in St. Paul. This would spark a war between the family as to whether to accept the money or stay where they were. Eventually it was agreed that they would accept, and Ben started the last stage of his youth education in Bayview Secondary High. He quickly settled in as the local scouter for the school. He quickly settled into the Venturer group there, but to this day he has not got anyone from Bayview to go there, which he views as slightly annoying. Nevertheless, he managed to make friends with Sora and Asher, forming their own little hiking group. He has also returned to Australia last year for a scouting event. For the Eagle Scout Award, the highest award receivable for a youth member, one of the badges required him to participate in a sport for 6 months. Hearing about the fencing club, he quickly tried out and started practicing with Asher and Derek in local tournaments. His technique is very defensive, preferring to parry and allow the opponent to come to him before attacking them, which has been criticised by the coach as getting to the point where he is not taking obvious points. Going into his senior year, he is reasonably confident in his abilities to go out into the world. He is unsure of what direction on what to take, whether to go to collage or not, although he prefers to do something referring to maths, particularly statistics. Ben is an Anglican, but usually doesn’t go to church unless woken up in time, which is usually not often, and he has often been shot down by some people by his belief that there is a God of some kind, but he just hasn’t got any powers to help anyone. Advantages: His experience in scouting has given him some very good skills, including learning how to read a map and compass, good planning skills, and hiking distances will not be a problem. He was wearing his good hiking clothes thankfully, so if he’s going to go somewhere, he’ll be there not any worse for wear. His fencing skills are fordable, being in the intermediates class at the school club. His specialty is defense, mainly parrying and blocking other people, waiting for an opening. Being taught to defend against another’s blade should come in handy. His last advantage is his mind, scoring a higher than normal IQ. He likes to analyze a situation and act accordingly, statistically recording the odds. Disadvantages: His stamina will play a big factor in how he goes. Easily exhausted by long distance running, he may not be able to escape if found. And the second he’s caught in the middle of a dangerzone, he will be most likely screwed, either by not getting the hell out of there in time, or being absolutely exhausted after the 10 minute dash. His analyzing of events may also be a curse as well as a blessing, especially in quick combat. This “game” will shock his moral core to the ground, and he will most likely avoid attacking anything until he has no other choice, giving trigger-happy opponents a hefty advantage to take him out. His experience with weapons is small, the most gun practice he has had being a few rounds of laser skirmish. Hand-to-hand combat is also out of the question, for a good reason: he sucks at it. |

I'd prefer if you make a few edits to this biography before I authorize it, so for now it's denied. Certain things should not be stated in the biography: for example that Ben is "cannon fodder", or certain jesting remarks like, "Not likely, Ben", or "Come on, he does have pretty springy legs." This should be a biography readable both from the handlers' AND the terrorist's perspective, and I would prefer it read out that way a little smoother. There are also some paragraph and formatting issues that I'm sure you could straighten out to make it look neater. |
