Benjamin Jerry, please report to the field and talk to your coach about the upcoming game! Name: Benjamin Jerry
Nicknames: Ben, Benji (most used; no one calls him Benjamin except some teachers)
Age: 17
Birthday: May 8th
Sign: Taurus
Blood Type: B
Fav. Food: Philly cheese-steak sandwich
Hated Food: None. He's never met a meal he couldn't stomach.
School: Meadowview Highschool
 Hobbies:
Sports- His specialty is contact sports (football, lacrosse, soccer, etc.)- blessed with a good sense of balance, he's very hard to knock down and extremely good at getting through barriers, making him something of a juggernaut player. When he's on a path, you either move out of his way or get knocked on your a**. Strength, speed, and endurance make him the golden boy of any team whose goal is to make it from one side of a field to another. He's not particularly agile, but really, who needs to dodge when you can just go through whatever is in your way? It would also be safe to assume that he can take a lot of punishment, then get right back up and continue on with what he was doing. If he can't win with his strength or his speed, he will win with his persistence. Most coaches would agree that it's good to have a player you can always count on. Benji is that player.
Crafting- Benji likes working with his hands, and will set himself to a wide variety of projects. He could be working on models (miniatures, cars, trains, planes, cities, etc.) or even some sort of contraption. Generally he works with wood or plastic, but he's not beyond trying to learn more or dabble in other fields like architectural design and metal work. There's only so much he can do in his garage, is all.
Gemstone: Emerald
Virtues:
Intelligent- Most people look at Benji and think he's just a stupid jock. Then they hear his accent and think he's a stupid, redneck jock. Well. He's not stupid, at least. In all actuality, Benji excels just as readily in academics as he did in sports. He learns concepts fairly quickly, barring some more tricky subject (see: Chemistry, the science of exceptions). He is best with things that never have a chance of changing, making him exceptional in subjects like math and physics.
Gentle- Again, his appearance foils him when it comes to his personality. This boy possesses an easy-going, passive countenance as he goes about his every day life. He's polite and courteous to others, whether or not they may deserve it, respects his peers and especially adults. While he may not always agree with someone else, he's just far too nice of a guy to try and forcibly change anything. He'll offer his opinion and, if you don't like it, that's fine. He doesn't get riled up over silly things like what anyone thinks of him or disagreements. Outside of sports (which he thoroughly enjoys) he's usually tinkering with a project, which in most cases involves a lot more delicacy and patience. He applies the same standard to people, treating them with soft words and roundabout euphemism. In short: has a very hard time calling a dumbass a dumbass. He's willing to work with whoever no matter how it may wear on his nerves, because he really admires someone who tries, but just can't seem to get where they need to be.
Good Samaritan- Benji will happily go out of his way to help another for nothing at all. If someone asks for his opinion, he'll give it. If someone is struggling with their books in the hall, he offers to carry them. While he's not exactly a doormat, he does usually put other people before himself. So long as it doesn't conflict with his priorities or put him in the way of something shady, he's glad to lend his time and abilities to someone else. He volunteers for community service and tutoring sessions, helps old ladies cross the street, and will pick even a stranger up when they're down. His affable nature has quickly, and appropriately, earned him the nickname "Benji the Boy-Scout".
Confident- This boy is very secure with himself and his abilities. There are some things people can do better than him, and he's fine with that. He's still a good student, still a great athlete, and he likes to believe he's a pretty likable guy too! He believes that he can accomplish any goal with hard work, and promotes this belief to anyone that will listen to him. He's not boastful about his work, but he does exude a sense of pride, and will take a compliment without a hint of protest.
Flaws
Gullible- Benji is not naturally suspicious of people and is quite susceptible to lies. Because he's an honest guy, he expects others to extend him the same courtesy and not try to bullshit him. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and this boy will swallow lies by the spoonful provided they aren't too outlandish. You drive a fancy car and own a house in Rio? Alright, he believes you. You have the ability to talk to cats, control puppets with your mind, and can detect demons? Hey now, buddy, who do you think you're trying to fool?! Benji would never knowingly do anything that could jeopardize his enrollment at Meadowview (and thus his teams), but after a fiasco he very narrowly pulled himself out of, he is now suspicious of carrying ANYTHING that looks remotely like a keg, mmkay. He's also lost quite a bit of money trying to help certain African Princes trying to get out of their country. Thank god there isn't much to his name in that respect anyway.
Do It Myself- While he's quick to offer his help to anyone that looks like they're struggling, Benji is very reluctant to accept any sort of aid in his own endeavors, at least from his peers. He only will take help if he asks for it, and he has a hard time doing even that with teachers. It all chalks up to a certain amount of pride in his own ability, because he absolutely can't stand when he runs into an obstacle he can't quickly surmount. Thus, he politely declines any sort of help offered to him the first time, then will slowly degrade to being more terse about it if the certain do-gooder doesn't get the idea the first time. He wants to overcome everything on his own, and sometimes that just isn't going to happen. He is also very possessive of his personal projects (he likes to make things, generally out of some sort of wood, like catapults or puzzle boxes and even miniature models) and can become briefly outraged if someone touches his work without his permission.
Determined- Any of his coaches will say this is actually Benji's greatest virtue. He can take a lot of abuse and still keep going, and never says "die". Unfortunately, this attribute doesn't stop with sports- it extends to all aspects of his life. Once he gets started on something, he wants to see it through to the end, or else he becomes extremely frustrated. This can tax him both emotionally and physically if he sets his goals unwisely, which he has done in the past. Usually his pursuits are for his academics and athletics, which has led him to pulling all-nighters and overworking himself on the fields. He doesn't stop until he's satisfied or his body makes him give in, and he has made himself sick more than once. If he likes someone, he will do everything in his power to win that person, even if the cause seems hopeless. While he'd never do anything radical like harassing said romantic interest, he certainly wouldn't drop his attempts if his affections were denied the first time. Oh, he may be discouraged and depressed for a little while, but he's not going to give up! Benji believes in hard work providing him all the results he needs and, sadly, that isn't how the world always works.
Physical Description:
Hair: Short, dirty blonde. Sometimes he gels it to spikes.
Eyes: Honey brown
Face: Rugged and angular, if a little boyish
Body: Mesomorphic, meaning he looks like one of your typical ab-bearing jocks. Broad in the shoulders, growing a bit thinner at the hips. He has a good center of gravity. He's tall, from about 5'11 to 6', and he weighs 160lbs before a big meal.
Fashion: Benji isn't the type to really worry about his looks. Outside of school and team practice, he wears a t-shirt and jeans, or shorts, depending on the season. He just likes to be comfortable. He has only one suit to his name, which he wears to funerals, weddings, and prom. Anything else he'll have to go out and buy. Not surprisingly, he has a wide array of sport jerseys.

Sailor Arcturus, Senshi of Endurance!  Senshi: Sailor Arcturus, Senshi of Endurance
Challenge: "I'm Sailor Arcturus, and you best believe I'm built to last!"
Sailor Arcturus is the Senshi of Endurance. As such, his natural abilities seem to be a high tolerance of pain and conserving his energy. While he may not be the strongest or the fastest, his strength is outlasting the competition.
Attack #1a - Will of Arcturus
Sailor Arcturus summons this ability by simply shouting the name. A shield of his energy surrounds him, appearing as either a barrier around him or a faint glow to his skin. This acts as a temporary protection, allowing him to take one blow before it dissolves. If it’s a strong or fatal hit, it will damage him enough to take him down to his last legs, but not kill him. For example, if he were to be up against a blade and it were swung as if to decapitate him, the armor would block the cutting edge but he may still take the force of the blow. If it’s a medium to small hit, it will not effect him. He can only use this power once per twenty four hours.
The barrier is limited only to direct physical attacks. Things like poisonous gas or emotional influences are not affected.
Attack#1b- Fortress of Arcturus
Sailor Arcturus may grant three of his allies the protection of the Will of Arcturus. He can only perform this once per twenty-four hours.
Attack #2- Arcturus: Final Flare
This attack is like setting a blowtorch on a candle, expending Arctrus’ resevoirs of energy in rapid amounts. In return, he is granted a mask of impenetrable force, energy seeming to seep out of his skin and lash out at whatever is near. Physical attacks bounce off of him and he’s capable of breaking through any normal barriers as well as some magical ones (a lesser senshi’s barrier). However, this attack only lasts until his energy is expended, usually two or three minutes (two IC posts), and leaves him so fatigued he would be lucky to still be standing after the effects faded. It will not work on non-physical attacks and he may be trapped within a powerful energy barrier or anything else he can’t simply barrel through. He can only use this ability once, then must wait until he is fully recovered to do it again. This may take days to weeks, depending.

Family Thomas Jerry (Father)- I don't see hide nor hair of my pop these days, but when I was little, we were pretty close. He's a retired marine man, just like his daddy. When I graduate highschool, I expect the marines is where I'll be going too. Anyway, he's a janitor now, and generally works the gradeschool that Peggy-Sue and Mary goes to. He's home late every night now, but he's going to to take a vacation soon, I think.
Renee Jerry (Mother)- I don't know what Ma did before she started raising us. She said she was a dancer, but she never told me what kind. Anyway, she's the type of woman to always be worrying about this or that. Take a coat, Benji, eat four square meals a day, Benji, don't play tackle football in the road, Benji. I love my Ma, though. She's sweeter than honey and cute as a button. And she comes to every single one of my games, no matter what I'm playing or how bad she complains about me possibly getting hurt.
Peggy-Sue Jerry (Little Sister)- I love my little sisters to death, but Peggy-Sue is getting to be the worst. She's ten years old and she's getting into everything. She wants a cell phone and an ipod and all these glitter purses and she never cares about them a week or so after she gets what she wants! You know, I had to wait until I was fifteen to get a cell phone! I don't know. I think it's the entitlement that annoys me the most. She's starting to get into boys and... she can just get scary sometimes. Lately I've been the one keeping her in line when Ma can't, and I've been scaring off those varmit boyfriends she's got a habit of collecting.
Mary Jerry (Little Sister)- Mary's just... precious. She's six years old and really into Barbie and those little pet collectable dolls. It's really fun having a sister that age, giving you an excuse to make forts out of the couch cushions and the bed comforter.
