A P P E A R A N C EHeight: Just above average.In simplest terms, Benji's hair is a dark shade of brown. The varieties of other lighter brown in it are natural highlights resulting from exposure to the sun. In the summer months it is way lighter than it is in the dead of winter. His wonderful brown locks have a natural curl to it that he inherited from his mother. The boy very rarely styles his hair since it kind of does its own thing. But, hey, it looks nice.
Eye colour: The male's eyes are almost exact replicas of his father's. They have a very normal shape to them, nothing special. The iris is a very dark green with flecks of a mahogany hue. His eyelashes are a dark brown, but still lighter than other people have. His eyes as a whole are pretty plain, and he doesn't think they leave an impact on anyone. They are rather good at withholding emotions.
Skin: Pale, hits of a past tan and a large tattoo covering his chest.
General Appearance:Benji has a very unique look, his jaw is very defined and yet it's still wonderfully soft to look at. He usually shaves for school, though, in his seventh year he's taken to just keeping a little stubble. Apparently the girls like it…not that he's had much experience in that matter. His face is more symmetrical than most. His eyes are in perfect proportion to his face, though one is slightly tipped to the left. It's hardly noticeable. His nose has a very small dent in it from where he used to wear glasses, but he now wears coloured contacts to make his green eyes stand out even more.
His clothing style is deemed by some as just plain odd. When not forced to wear his uniform (which he does attempt to put his own spin on, either by wearing a black shirt instead of a white one, or wearing a pair of black pants instead of the tan ones. It doesn't look bad, so he doesn't see why they care so much. But most days he tries to deviate, he ends up getting in trouble and having to go change into the regulation uniform. On weekends, his style is much different than the preppy nature of Hogwarts dictates. He tends to wear mostly black, with a splash of white, and possibly gray, but not anything colored. He wears those extravagant clothes that have been deemed by some as goth, but what he well knows is the visual kei style he picked up from his friends back in Ireand, and never really felt any desire to change, especially since it makes him stand out, which is what he always likes.
A few years ago he went through a very 'emo' stage. He had a lip piercing and even got to having hip piercings, there are small scars left from where he took them out. He has a largew tattoo covering his chesat and he also has a small tattoo of a paw print on the join between his left thumb and left forefinger. He has a lot of small scars too from transformations but a large one down the center of his stomach from a duel with a neighbour.

General Personality: Smart. Many people underestimate the extent of Benji's mind, when in actuality, he is very insightful. He has a very clear perception of the things he deals with, especially when he's conning people. He, as many would say can turn his smart on or off and he uses that to his advantage. He doesn't rub his overshadowed intelligence in a person's face, not because he finds it wrong, but because people would know right away that he's messing with them and that he'll use what he knows and what he studies to his advantage. On many occasions, he's found himself reading psychology books, and such. That's also another thing people don't know about him. He reads up on a lot of things and plans for the future. So if something goes wrong, he knows how to get out of it. Apart of being smart, in Benji's way is that you have to have ulterior motives and all the possible scenarios in order to get out of something gone wrong. So you can say he's a logical thinking, and very rational when he turns his smart on. In actuality though, he always has his smart on, it's just that he uses stupidity to get what he wants. He knows what words like Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism and ambidextrous mean. He has an expansive dictionary.
Cunning. Benji is like a snake. He can slither around small corners, get himself out of things and still manage to get what he'd wanted to obtain. He can convince anyone of a falsehood he concocted from his head. He's highly deceptive without even trying at all. At this point, he doesn't do it by accident. More so he uses it as a weapon. You could call him a magician of deceit. He talks to people and gives them this illusion of getting what they need for them and ends up taking what he wants from them and explaining that he never promised them what they wanted. He's like an unread contract. If you don't carefully read between his lines, you won't see him turning you over, and he's use to being underestimated. Benji wasn't always cunning. He use to be truthful, until he found out better ways to get what he needed and being sneaky is his way of obtaining what he wants, when he wants. He found being truthful with a person always makes situations a lot more difficult.
Con-man. Well, you didn't expect a person like Benji to be cunning and not be a conman, did you? He's a con-man through and through. You wouldn't know when to trust him, or when he's playing with your head. They say con-men have many personalities, but Benji is one of the few who don't change their persona to sell something to someone. In a way, he's subtle with his let down. He gives false hope, of something good, but ends up giving them something fake for a high price. In other words, he's cheap, and a cheat. He's constantly tricking people into buying things to benefit himself. It's all about him, is what it really comes out to be. That's basically why he's so confident in himself because in the past, many times he's gotten everything or mostly everything he's wanted. That's why it's so easy to approach someone and sell them whatever he's obtained.
Aggressive. Don't get the wrong idea, he isn't some crazy fool, but he does tend to cause people injuries. He's like a six year old kid having a temper tantrum because they didn't get the lollypop their mom promised them. He's like a rich girl that was denied a car on their sixteenth birthday. As far as he knows, he's been aggressive since the day he was born. He's always lashing out at people and he doesn't even have to have a reason for calling them out about something he noticed. He doesn't like when things don't go his way, so that's probably where a lot of his aggression comes from towards people. He tries to calm it down with smashing things, but normally, it's towards people that he takes his aggression out on. His aggression could also come from the fact that he rarely sleeps and tends to stress out. Being a con-man puts him in the hot seat because there are always those people that do understand his intentions. If Benji were apart of a fight club, he'd probably be the most willing fighter; he'd fight everyday just for the heck of, simply because he likes the feel of his hand connecting with soft flesh. He doesn't have to have a reason, he's just very aggressive. He doesn't take steroids, he doesn't have roid rage; he just has this sense of himself being rough and intimidating and his aggression contributes to that.
Confident, Self-assured. He's like Miley Cyrus without the cameras. For such a young age, he has this strange sort of confidence. He feels that he can step on anyone's face and that he'll get away with. He also feels as if he's better than anyone and everyone who underestimates him and that he'll still come out unscathed. He has the carefree sort of stance, and the calm demeanor that only comes to his age not nearly as much as it should. Benji is crazy in his confidence and self assurance, if that makes sense. He knows what he does; he doesn't try to sugar coat his intentions by telling himself that he's trying to make life easier for others. He knows he's conning people. He knows he's pretty much evil and he let's people know that, even if he's made out to be a witch for it. He knows himself, he loves himself and if you think he's as half as obsessed with himself as he presents, you haven't seen anything yet. He's twice as worse as what you see. But, sometimes that's all just a show. He's self assured about himself on the outside, but on the inside, he's so confused. A lot of things about him conflict with others.
Observant, Loud. You'd think that Benji would have the common decency to turn off at least these two personalities. He's smart, cunning and confident, but along with that he has to be observant and tell everyone about it. He studies just about everything, from the amount of times a person blinked while talking, to the color of a person's pants. Well, he isn't that observant, but he's a lot more observant than the next person. He takes in everything; he's like a human sponge, like when a baby is three or four and they hear a bad word for the first time and repeat it. He soaks it all up and throws it right back in your face and he isn't secretive about it. IF you're in an area with ten people around, he'll say in a very highly sarcastic loud voice, what he knows about you. It's his nature, but its way of having control over a situation. The way he see's it is that he has something that will hurt a person one way or another, so from that he can either bribe them or blab what he knows. It's all part of his persona.
H I S T O R YFamily Information: Father: Dorian Flynn. Mother: Cassandra Silth
Childhood: Benji was born to a werewolf father and some woman Dorian had met in a nightclub. He had it easy, feeding off his wealthy father who had no parental instinct to say no. But that didn't make him slobbish. Benji worked hard on his studies, he wanted to make his father proud. But to no avail, before Benji was old enough to sit his exams the Ministry arrested Dorian on suspicion of murder. Living with just his mother came as a shock to the young wolf and his transformations grew worse and worse. He tried to make the wolfsbane potion himself but only succeeded in ending up in St Mugo's for poisoning himself. With that he doubted he was ever going to be accepted into Hogwarts. But when he recieved his letter he couldn't have been happier.
Hogwarts: Benji adored Hogwarts, the people and the hidden secrets. He's always exploring and wanting to learn more. Things don't pass him easily and although he is undecided about his loyalties, he is looking. He wants to learn things for himself. He never copies homework and he always owns up to things he has done wrong...sometimes anyway. He's looking forward to his 6th year at Hogwarts and is determined to find that secret passage he's been waiting for.
Adulthood: N/A
Short Roleplay: "You, and me have been here twice. This is our last day back here in paradise" Benji sung the tune under his breath, his feet scuffing the cold ground, his hands shoved deeply into his pockets. He wasn't looking where he was going and he was repeatedly bumping into younger students on their way inside. Not that he cared, his arrogance was well known and most people tended to stay out of his way. His mother had always told him to flaunt what he had, so he did. Though, some considered it a little excessive.
"One more miracle. One more golden man. The face. The figure. The fame. All disappear"How how long he walked, Benji wasn't sure, his feet kept moving and he was in no rush to stop them. It was a bright, if not cold, day after all and he would rather have been outside than anywhere near that uptight pretentious band of Gryffindors. He had expected that rain that day, though, as unpredictable as he, the weather had disagreed entirely and let the sun shine through the white clouds. Benji enjoyed walking in the rain, but for the benefit of his perfectly straight hair, he was glad it was sunny.
"Go. But don’t take my advice. You do not belong down here in paradise," his voice lingered for a moment as he looked up, right into the eyes of an unsuspecting student who seemed to have been staring at him. His smile curved up slightly and he bit down on his bottom lip. He wondered how much people really knew about him, or how much was just rumors. Not that he really cared, he had been the quiet shy boy for too long, it was time to make some changes around here.
"The face. The figure. The fame. Are not for you."
