PERSONALITY
Benjamin has just one default mood and it’s happy. He was always happy growing up, he’d wake up happy that day and his only plans are to be happy in the future. He also only wishes the same for just about everyone he has ever met. Sure, some people have rubbed him the wrong way but he never had any ill will for them and only wanted to find out how he could make their interactions more pleasant in the future or just avoid that person. Being the rather carefree person he is, he never wished to have a problem with anyone.
The only nerve that Benjamin seems to have is when someone goes out of their wait to be malicious to any living creature. Food is a necessity he has come to live with but the hunting for pleasure done by some struck a cord with the boy. That and the damaging of nature for selfish or petty reasons. Both things he learned from his father and possibly gained as part of his heritage. Standing up numerous times, breaking his care free nature, to stop these acts when he could.
HISTORY
Benjamin’s father was a scientist who worked with plants but that was never what caught the eye of his Mother, the goddess Demeter. He had also been an avid defender of the environment. Leading many protests and demonstrations all for the sake of the planet and the valuable plant life that humans were slowly killing. During one such protest his father met a beautiful woman and it was love at first sight. The relationship was short, she was gone before his father knew it but the time was something he would never forget. Months later his father was alarmed to find a baby at the door and a note explaining that his father needed to watch over their child much like they both watched over nature. His father just assumed the free spirit woman he had fallen in love with was off protesting environmental crimes in far off places. Life with his father was always a peaceful one. He grew up quick and most importantly loved. Something he couldn’t say for some of the people he would meet in his future. When Benjamin was old enough his father allowed him take part in his protests. The protests were always done in a peaceful way. Benjamin was brought up to never harm a living thing, this obviously included plant life. Yet, protecting it was necessary as was protecting ones self. Being the only time violence was ever to be an option.
As he got older the plant life around the Green home slowly became more and more unruly. Where once the yard needed mowed and plants trimmed once every two weeks to every other day. Plants just seemed to grow quicker wherever Ben was. His father had his suspicions that it was because of his environmental work, like some gift to their household. He was part right as Benjamin turned thirteen a rather strange man or part man came to there home at night. His father didn’t notice it a first but Benjamin could feel it, he didn’t seem like a normal person more like how nature felt to him.
Once in the house the man attempted to explain why he was there but his hat fell off, revealing horns. His father didn’t know what to do at first, call the police or just panic as he had never seen someone like him before. His father was quickly calmed by the man as if by some type of magic. Benjamin on the other hand hadn’t been panicking to begin with. Something about the strange man seemed right. The man explained to the both of them that he was actually a satyr, sent to retrieve Benjamin before worse creatures arrived with ill intent. That Benjamin would soon be hunted down by monsters for being a Demigod. His father denied that his son had any powers. Plants just grew around them was all. Asking his son if he was right. Benjamin revealed that he could make plants move just slightly by thought to his father, it wasn’t much but they did move. His father had to accept that the woman he had loved for so long was a goddess after all and his son a demigod.
Benjamin didn’t want to leave his father, he loved him and their home. Yet, he was so curious about what he actually was, what he could do with the right training and the chance to meet other people like him. A world where there were others who didn’t feel totally right around normal humans. That and his father would be in danger if he stayed. They said their goodbyes with Benjamin promising to meet him again when it was safe or at least figuring a way to contact his father.
Once at camp Benjamin was quickly claimed as one of Demeter’s children. Which after learning he was a demigod and what had happened around him growing up it only made sense. Benjamin soon made friends with just about everyone he could, especially his now fellow siblings. Which was a weird thing to him to go from an only child to having a number of brothers and sisters.
EXPLANATION OF ABILITY SPECIALTY
Chlorokinesis: Since a young age the plant life around Benjamin just grew faster than normal. Just before coming to camp at thirteen he was also able to make small plants move just by thinking about it. Both powers have only gotten stronger during his time at Half-blood camp. He can now control it much better as well so that everything isn't overgrowing around him at all times. It's also no longer just small house plants that he can move with thought or hand movement. Larger plants are much more willing to follow his command. Bigger trees are still a problem for him yet still possible to move. While smaller tree limbs are willing to move for Ben.
