Visual Information (Expansion)
Benjamin's face is mostly square, with a bit of roundness to it. His earlobes are attached and both sport a single ring of gold around them. His face sports a loose bit of facial hair, well kept and trimmed, the sides often nothing more than clean or stubble. His hair is a deep black color, pulled back into a loose, low, bun. His hair when not tied, reaches to his shoulders, with a slight curl to it. Finally, His eyes are a deep brown color.
Benjamin stands at a height of 5 feet, 10 inches. Due to his ripped body build, he retains a well visible muscle mass, but lacks a V shaped body. He keeps himself well in shape through fencing training, running, and weight training. His body is relatively scar-less, with the occasional scratch from Mariposa training. His skin is an olive-tan tone, more from his mother's side. His body hair is well kept and often trimmed to clean it up.
He prefers to adorn himself in fine silks and furs, predominantly shades of blue or black. He also may adore fine leathers as a vest or other bits. At times, he'll adorn the fashion of a cavaliers hat with his clothing. At times his wear will adorn trims of gold to display his wealth or position. Whenever he carries weapons upon him, they're more for use of sparing, often being a simple Dressolini Spadi, or for combat, the Daendroque style Longsword.
He speaks in a very friendly tone, pleasant and charismatic. His voice tends to only grow loud when speaking over something he's passionate for, or to rouse excitement. His speech contains a slight Daendroque accent, and to keep it as smooth as possible, he replaces words he tends to forget with his own native tongue, but is prone to accidentally getting carried away with his native speech. He's fluent in Daendroque being his native tongue, and picked up common well enough with a few issues as listed above.

Life Story
Childhood: (Birth to ten)
Benjamin was born on a summer's day of July 17, 279 AC. in Girobalda. He was born to Raoul and Lucinda into house Wodenstaff. From birth, Benjamin was a lively child, rather happy and joyous as he was in his youth. He was a social butterfly with many of the fellow noble children, and more so with his siblings and cousins. Being born the first child and his lively personality, it garnered much of his parents attention, and he surely enjoyed it. He and his mother bonded over her prowess in dance, whilst his father's skill with fencing drew his wonder and attention. But what really had captured the young Benjamin's attention, was the sea.
Adolescence: (Ten to Twenty)
As Benjamin grew older, he was influenced to attend the school of Statesmanship, learning the in and outs of Commerce and such. However, the adolescent Benjamin still had a love for the sea. Being his extended family were made up of many sailors, he was privately tutored by them while he attended statesmanship. He'd go to learn captaincy upon the high seas from his family, sailing between the Isle and it's many counterparts. However around the age of sixteen, tragedy struck as his mother died of illness while he was out upon the sea. The death of his mother devastated him for a time, however he continued his family schooling upon the seas. Between his free-time on land, he tried to bond further with his equally devastated father, picking up thin-blade combat as a pass-time and even drinking from him.
Adulthood: (Twenty-Now)
With this new-found knowledge and graduation from statesmanship, it attracted the attention of his cousin, and most recent matriarch of the family, Sigurna Wodenstaff. He was placed in charge of advising over the distant land claim of hers in Daenshore, and operated the lumber camp for a time, further enhancing his abilities. Upon hearing the death of his cousin, Calder, to the Elven fleet's invasion of Girobalda, he quickly sailed out to meet with Sigurna in the Archipelago. After arriving, the Wodenstaff made a good deal of acquaintances in the holy city, and Serving under Sigurna's husband, Leonzio, in his Safeguard Rangers. After their departure from the Archipelago, the lone Wodenstaff wondered on what his next movement was in life, however it had come to him in a letter. However with the recent death of their patriarch, the Miramonte's asked Benjamin to step in his place. With this newfound leadership, the Miramonte grew much more ambitious in the city, and seeks to bring a name to himself and new family.
