Skill Information- Ailor are masters of languages, which is expected given their habit to culturally divides. Because so many of their languages are inter-connected, various words become more obviously related, and they also take more effort to learn other languages. If someone insults an Ailor, even in a language they do not speak, the Ailor would know, as they know most curse words or words by which to speak ill of others in all languages.
- Ailor are the masters of the Regalian Empire, and while it has equality between all peoples and heritages, Ailor are just by virtue of being Ailor considered preferential for most government positions and judicial situations. Where possible to do with the Nobility, with Government, or with Palace decisions, Ailor will be treated preferentially over other peoples, even if their qualifications might be lesser than the other options.
- Ailor when using Syncretism can worship up to 3 Gods of their sub-dominant Religion, instead of just 1 or 2. Additionally, when Syncretizing, they gain the Mechanic of the sub-dominant Religion (except for Evolism, where only one of the Mechanics can be chosen). If your Character does not Syncretize, they gain +1 Attack Stat (Breaking Cap up to 11) against Characters that have Syncretized their mono-faith.

Backstory
Ben hails from the great lands of Montania, where he lived with his family until the age of 10. Happiness and laughter flooded his childhood in waved of euphoria and magical lights as he fawned over his older sister's fiancé, and bullied his older brothers.. Until the lights didn't shine anymore, and screams roared into his ears like tsunamis. His mother had locked him in a small kitchen cupboard, where he cried horrified tears into his pajama sleeves.
Next thing he knew, he was 13 and selling the daily paper on the street corners. Through the rain, snow, or blazing heat, he worked hard to keep himself alive throughout unseen horrific circumstances. And by the Gods, was he dirty. Fortunately one sunny day, a kind Marayan man, Immirial Elliomiq, came by and offered the boy a place to stay. He quickly became the boys' father. Immirial raised him to become a son of justice, of honestly and loyalty. And of course, with the light of his mischievous nature still glimmering through.
Unfortunately, happiness can't last forever when faced with an everchanging world. Ben is now bitter and unforgiving of the world and people around him, and will snap without a second thought. He's brass and violent, though ever-growing fearful.

A Mothers' Love
The love Benjamin felt for his mother never went away, even after she died.
The feeling of being locked inside a cabinet for hours on end
will forever haunt him, and causes him to panic in claustrophobic situations.
It reminds him too much of when it happened.
A Terrible Secret
I didn't do it, I promise.
At all times of the day, and through the hours of the night,
there's an unbearable weight on Benjamin's shoulders.
It's a secret he'll never tell another living soul,
and one that causes him to turn and cough.
Goodnight Dad, I Love You
Benjamin can't help but feel strained against his father.
It's an overwhelming feeling of fear and familiarity that he can't quite place.
So for now, he'll force himself to love him.
Immirial saved his life, after all.
That Little Boy
The maturity someone presents can be placed back to how they were in childhood.
For someone who barely had one, it's harder to connect.
He can't control the outburst of curses or angry language he spills,
though he really does try to show how much he cares.
He really does try, I swear.
Like Looking in a Mirror
Every minute Benjamin spends around Dante Salvatore, he feels less at ease.
The two are far too similar in ways they'd never admit, and that scares him.
From the origin, to the clothing, even down to the hair.
Maybe Dante marrying his father won't be such an awful idea.
