The harsh, unforgiving cold of winter has long set in. Snow covers the ground and students tend find things to do inside as much as possible. With the Yule Ball fast approaching, students certainly have things to discuss and plan.
Politically, things are nowhere near as sound as people are lead to believe. There is turmoil amongst the ranks of the Death Eaters as Callid Warren and Fierro Darque plot against Trevor Williams, who is aided by Sienna Faber, but can she be trusted? Even amongst the people, there seems to be social unrest as SAVIOR works to free slaves and the leader of the Order of the Phoenix finds himself captured. Unification is necessary, but will it happen?
Playable: 17-31 December 2010

Hair: Brown, Medium Length, Unkempt Eyes:Brown Height:5’10” Weight:168 lbs Marks/Scars: A few scrapes here and there, one on his lower back from a Quidditch accident, but nothing in particular. Clothing Style:Ben generally aims for comfort and informality. He generally wears jean or slacks and a t-shirt, sometimes with a jacket. He dislikes formal wear and getting dressed up. Face Claim: Adam Brody
Skills: Apparition – Apparition is a skill Ben has gotten down to a tee. He thoroughly enjoys the freedom of being able to disappear and reappear anywhere he wants to. He even uses it to apparate short distances, and likes to startle and confuse people using it.
Defensive Magic – Defense Against the Dark Arts was always his best subject in school and before the takeover Ben had been considering becoming an auror.
Weaknesses: Taking things seriously – Everything in life is a game to Ben, and it’s nearly impossible for him to take anything seriously. This can be a drawback in many situations and generally annoys most people.
Reckless – Ben’s bold and impetuous attitude can easily be taken too far, and he often places himself in potentially destructive situations.
Ability: Animagus – Gecko; learned it because he thought it would be awesome to turn into an animal, see history for how. Possession: Nothing of Importance
Personality
Likes: - Quidditch - Games - Adrenaline Rushes -Swimming - Running - Flying - Nature - Jokes/Pranks - Going against the norm - People Dislikes: - Being told what to do/how to act - Having expectations put upon him - Being treated like a child - The “bad guys” - Boredom - Having to wait - Serious/Depressing situations
Nervous habit:Hiding the fact that he’s actually nervous Phobia: Dislikes the feeling of being trapped or confined; it’s not necessarily claustrophobia, but something akin to it
Personality: Five good traits - Fearless - Fun - Kind - Bold - Quick witted Five bad traits - Impetuous - Impatient - Sometimes intentionally annoys people for the sake of amusement - Disobedient - Stubborn
Ben has a very strong and forward personality. He’s very bold and isn’t afraid to speak out or do what others fear to do. He enjoys the highs he gets off of adrenaline from dangerous or exciting situations. He’s a very optimistic person, and is almost happy-go-lucky. He dislikes depressing or serious situations and never behaves as such. Thus he never takes things seriously, which is a real turn off for many people. He treats everything in life as though it were a game and tries to live life to the fullest. He’s a kind and fun person, and, when the mood is light, can be enjoyable to be around. He’s got a real stubborn streak to him though. He hates being told to and rarely listens or even does the opposite of what he’s told out of spite. He likes to be himself and likes doing things that make him feel like an individual and his own person.
History
Childhood Benjamin Turner was born on one particularly bright and sunny day in May. He was born into a rather close family. Aside from his parents, he had one older brother, Dan. Dan was eight years older than he was but that didn’t stop him from looking up to him and admiring him in the way that a kid brother does. Ben had always wanted to hang out with his brother, sometimes to the dismay and annoyance of Dan. When Dan entered Hogwarts, Ben was slightly sad and lonely but he couldn’t wait for his own time to enter school. To distract him, his parents would take him to the beach over the weekends. They lived a very short distance from the Atlantic, and swimming was one of the very first activities Ben came to love. He would always test himself to see how far he could swim out before he had to turn back or his parents yelled at him. Ben was very adventurous at heart and was often getting into some sort of trouble or another.
By the time Ben finally did enter Hogwarts, Dan had already been out for a year. He didn’t let it dishearten him though, and he was determined to make the most out of his time at school. He was quickly sorted into Gryffindor where he proceeded to make many friends. Unfortunately, his very first year was the famed Harry Potter’s fifth and was a time when Voldemort had come back into power. Ben was too young at the time to know anything more than that Voldemort was “the bad guy”. His brother had joined the Order of the Phoenix by this time, though he shared little to nothing about it with his family. The thought that his brother was off fighting and resisting Voldemort enthralled him, and he couldn’t wait until he could too. Harry Potter managed to defeat the Dark Lord in his third year, however.
The years at Hogwarts were long, but Ben still enjoyed them. He did well in Defense against the Dark Arts, but had a small disliking for potions, since the subject kind of bored him. During his fourth year at Hogwarts he joined the Quidditch team as a seeker. He loved the feeling of flying, the thrill of the game. It was one of his favorite things to do at the school.
During his sixth year at Hogwarts, Voldemort had been resurrected once more. Ben greatly wanted to join his brother and the Order this time, but they all said he was too young, which greatly annoyed him. He became frustrated with being stuck at school and yearned to finally be done with the place. He wanted to prove himself to everyone and show them just how wrong they really were. Unfortunately Voldemort was defeated once more before he would ever even get a chance.
Before the Takeover After he graduated, Ben was finally allowed to join the Order. This was in part due to the fact that there was little to no Death Eater activity by this point in time. There would thusly be little actual Order activity throughout the following years, much to Ben’s dismay. By this point in time, Ben’s parents were urging him to try and find a career. He’d thought about maybe continuing on with Quidditch or maybe even become an auror. Not yet ready to settle down, however, he decided to travel for a few years.
He went to America for a while, where he got caught up in the sport of Quadpot. It was… different to say the least. After a while he decided to visit Australia, where he once again got caught up in sports. He joined a small free lance Quidditch team that traveled the country. One of his friends on the team, Chad Bannister, was an animagus lion. He was the symbol/mascot of the team and was fairly impressive in form. Excited about the possibility of being able to turn into an animal, Ben got Chad to train him into becoming an animagus as well. It took nearly a year of work (and Quidditch) for him to finally complete it and become the not-nearly-as-impressive… common house gecko. At first he was disappointed in what he turned into, but eventually he came to love it. It enabled him to climb just about any surface and gave him the ability to sneak up on people.
Eventually, Ben got homesick and decided to return back to his native country. He’d been out traveling nearly five years now, and he missed his parents and brothers. He decided it was finally time for him to settle down and start a career. To celebrate the occasion he adopted a small pet Chihuahua named Zippy. Having grown tired of Quidditch over the past years, he decided he would train to become an Auror. He did a few odd jobs in the meantime, as he applied for the training. It was at this time however that the Death Eater attack on Hogwarts, the Ministry, and the Order occurred. Ben was upset to find out that he was apparently not important enough to warrant a Death Eater attack. Thankfully his brother and his wife had not been home at the time. The two of them had come home to find their place in shambles, however.
Unfortunately the Order was left in fragments. Ben was ready to get out there and take out some Death Eaters, but he lacked the proper organization to do so. He quickly joined up, along with his brother, into the new Order formed by Kyle Camden and Damien Noland.
Since the Takeover Sadly the takeover came too swiftly for the new Order to stop. People were being enslaved left and right, and all who spoke out were gathered up. Ben was prominent in helping to save these people and get them to the safehouse. Ben’s brother and parents were also forced to move into the safehouse (along with Zippy in case you were wondering). Ben, however, only stays at the safehouse on occasion. He usually stays in a small cottage by the English Channel that once belonged to his grandparents. He’s out there “fighting the good fight”. Mostly he tries to find Imperium Guards and neutralize them, even if it’s just temporary. He hasn’t done much other than annoy the Death Eaters, but that’s because he’s been waiting for a plan of some sort. The Order doesn’t let him in on much, though, because they’re afraid that Ben is too foolish and will get captured. This irritates him quite a lot, but it doesn’t stop him. Sure he’s had a few run-ins and close calls, but there’s no way they could ever catch him in his mind.
