Personal Information
Name: Ben Robinson
Place of Birth: York, England
Age/Year: Seventh // 17
House: Gryffindor!
Gender: MALE, YOU DOLT.
Description
Eye color: His eyes are quite large and he has a rare disease, Heterochromia, in which his eyes are two different colours. The left eye is a bright, brilliant blue, while the right is a dark brown. It is almost red near his pupil; the colours of his irises are very unique.
Hair color: Ben has dark brown hair, almost black, that is always in very good condition. It’s rather choppy with a few layers and an “emo” fringe, as he calls it. It ends just above his collar bone.
Overall Appearance: Ben is rather tall as it runs in his family (both his elder brother and father are tall) he stands at around five foot eleven. Ben is slightly more muscular than average; He isn’t particularly tanned or pale but doesn’t burn easily. His dark eyes are intriguing, and easily one of his most remarkable features. Ben, because of his very muggle upbringing (Muggle primary school) dresses in very typical muggle fashions. Some may label him as “emo” because of the way he dresses: Skinny jeans, converse, band tees and hoodies. He generally throws together something as soon as he wakes up, although he does this he is very aware of what matches and what does not. He's got a white-toothed, straight-toothed, goofy grin. Ben has a toned body, muscles lining his abdomen and arms, legs too. He has long jagged scars on his back, and along his arms, from when he was thrown out of a window as a child. Ben has a defined jaw, and medium sized feet. He is a reasonable height and has a seductive, goofy, and sweet smile.
Character Traits
Personality: He has a great sense of humor, and tells jokes whenever he's embarrassed or upset. He always tries to hide his feelings, because he hates that "i'm so sorry for you" garbage. He’s extremely talkative, and could hold a conversation for hours if time allowed. It's not just idle chatter with him, either. The driving force behind Ben's conversation is his mind. Ben is intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information. The more information Ben collects, the better. Sharing that information later on with those he loves is also a lot of fun, for Ben is supremely interested in developing their relationships. Dalliances with these folks are always enjoyable, since Ben is bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though his intellectual mind can rationalize forever and a day, Ben also has a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. He can be wishy-washy, too, changing his mood on a simple whim. He’s flexible and goes with the flow. Further, Ben is adaptable and dexterous and can tackle many things at once. The downside of such a curious mind, however, is a lack of follow-through. He always starts projects with enthusiasm but loses interest and throws in the towel.
Although he talks a great deal, he also loves to listen and learn. With any kind of luck, he will find himself in interesting company, because if he doesn’t, he is likely to get bored and start fidgeting. Any social setting is a good one for Ben, however, since he is charming, congenial and loves to share himself with his friends. While his effusiveness may be misconstrued as scheming by some, Ben generally has his heart in the right place. It's that ample energy which can also paint him as scatterbrained and unfocused, but behind all that zipping around, he is busily filing all that good data away. He is curious, talkative, versatile and mentally active. Ben’s mind can bounce around from one topic to another with great ease, making him the “champion” of lighthearted social encounters. Others might think that Ben is fun to be with, but his ability to change with the winds might also lead others to see Ben as shallow. Not one who cares for peace and quiet, he creates his own problems with loved ones by picking arguments or tales carrying from one to the other then stands back and enjoys the show.
To him, life is a game which must always be full of fresh moves and continuous entertainment, free of labor and routine. He is affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, and thoughtful towards the poor and suffering - provided none of the activities resulting from expressing these traits interferes too greatly with his own life and comforts. When striving for something he will use any weapon in his armory - unscrupulous lying, and cunning evasiveness; escaping blame by contriving to put it on other people, wrapped up in all the charm he can turn on. In his better moments he may strive to be honest and straightforward, but self-interest is almost always the victor. If things go against him, he sulks like a child. Also like a child, he demands attention, admiration, and the spending on him of time, energy and money, throwing tantrums if he doesn’t get what he wants. He reflects every change in his surroundings, like a chameleon, and can become pessimistic, sullen, peevish and materialistically self-centered if circumstances force him to struggle in any way. If the conditions of life become really adverse, his strength of will may desert him entirely.
On the other hand his versatility can make him very adaptable, adjusting himself to control the world around him by means of his inherent ingenuity and cleverness. Ben has a keen, intuitive, sometimes brilliant intelligence and he loves cerebral challenges. But his concentration, though intense for a while, does not last. His mental agility and energy give him a voracious appetite for knowledge, though he dislikes the labor of learning. He easily grasps almost everything requiring intelligence and mental dexterity, and is often able to marry manual skills to their qualities of mind. His intellect is strongly analytical and sometimes gives him so great an ability to see both sides of a question that he hesitates and finds it hard to make decisions. There is a side to Ben which can become deeply involved emotionally, and another, hostile to sentimentality, which stands back from a romantic situation, laughing at it.
Ben takes nothing seriously. He is superficial, light-hearted, cool, flirtatious and unimaginative in the understanding of the pain he may give others. He likes intrigue, the excitement of the chase, but once he has caught the prey, he loses interest and looks around for the next creature to pursue. In less serious situations he makes witty, entertaining companions, good acquaintances rather than friends. Even at his worst he is never dull - there is usually playfulness below the surface, and he can be a brilliant conversationalist - but he can also be petulant, boastful, deceitful and a cheater.

Extended: A close friend of his is Rain Harcourt. They were best friends throughout their childhood, and still are.
History:
His story starts 17 years ago, the second son born to Susan and Christopher Robinson about a year after their marriage. They treated him terrible. The pair were abusive and cruel to their children, often beating them and causing other physical or emotional harm. This was the environment he live in, and because of it, is very strong now that he's gotten older. He prefers not to talk about his past. When he was six, his father through him out of the second story window of their home for talking back to him.
He was nine when he had had enough, so the three siblings organized a plan to run away from home. One night, they escaped from their house and ran to the nearest police station, and told them about everything. Their parents were arrested, and the three were adopted by a friendly couple, David and Lulu Halle. They were sweet and kind, everything parents should be, and everything Ben hadn't had. This is when he met Rain Harcourt. They hit it off instantly and became partners in crime. She was someone he could trust with his secrets and someone he could have fun with. His abusive parents had prevented him from having any real friends, so he clung to Rain like static in fear of losing her.
As he got older, he was unsure of how he felt about Rain, was he attracted to her, or were they just friends? Ben shook off the feeling, and tried to focus on their friendship and his schoolwork. He was fifteen when David and Lulu had a child of their own, and Ben considered little Elle a sister even though they weren't related. And now, he is in his 7th year. With no idea how the years passed that fast, he hopes to get in and out with as little problems as possible.
