Name: Benjiro 'Benji' Tachibana
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Benji is about five-foot-eight and of medium build. He's a bit on the lean side, dark-skinned and stronger and more flexible than one might expect at first glance. He's a fan of layered clothing and always has a lighter on hand. Or two or three lighters, really. He's got dark hair long enough to be in dreadlocks (which he puts them up in because he loves 'em) that he ties a variety of bandannas over. His eyes are blue thanks to his mixed heritage and he almost always winds up with some stubble on his face that he's just to lazy to shave.
Personality: Benji is pretty cheerful and winds up snarking and flirting without really thinking about. He's blunt and says what's on his mind even if the timing might not be the best. How touchy-feely he is physically is a good indicator of how he's feeling. He's very affectionate with the people he likes, casual touching is the norm with him. If he doesn't like you he won't do anything to you, really, he usually goes for live and let live, but he certainly won't do any touching. When sad, he's clingy but quiet. If he's pissed (which is rarer than a white Christmas in Texas) he'll shove and push and get up in people's faces. But really, all in all he's pretty zen and occasionally bull-headed about things.
History: Benji was left on a doorstep on a warm summer's day, said doorstep belonged to Hiro and Hitomi Tachibana. After a bit of debate amongst themselves they decided to keep the nameless child and raise him themselves. Benjiro never really let the thought that he was adopted get to him, after all, he had parents who chose to keep him despite him not being theirs. He grew up pretty well-adjusted and normally, and when he was ten decided to take gymnastics after watching so many batman cartoons his brain might as well have rotted out. Gymnastics turned into dance as well, and eventually that became 'hey you know what would make all this cooler? Fire.'
And like that, be began fire-dancing. He's managed to get pretty damn good at it, and he's gotten so familiar with fire and flames that he'd be pretty collected in a house fire, though he has no intention to be in one. It does, however give him a solid foundation for becoming a firefighter, though he's not sure he'd actually ever do that. He loves performing too much, especially now that there's a ceasefire going on.
Preferred Clan: Kuma
Clan: Kuma
Extra: He's a fire-dancer that's wound up practicing at Hotaru and Kris' dance studio and is looking into maybe teaching there too if he can't make enough money performing... His birthday is June 30th and he has a petrifying fear of dogs. Like, jump into his nearest companion's arms scooby-doo style. He also knows a surprising amount about the occult 'because it's kinda cool.' He absorbs information like a sponge.
