The Details
Reason for Enrolling in Chesterfield
Benji was taken away and enrolled in Chesterfield after his coach made a note about it to the National Child Help. Benji showed up often at trainings with frequent bruises, injuries or / and welts. In the beginning the 'I fell with my bike' and 'it was just a fight for fun with a friend' sayings seemed to be true, but the more excuses the less coach started to believe it. American Football wasn't rough enough to cause such big spots on the young male's body. Until the age of fourteen Benji all let it happen. But at one point he was incredibly sick of it and he started to fight back, which caused bigger spots and worse arguments. This was the start of his overall reckless behaviour. The one moment that made coach make the note was when he brought Benji back home after his dad didn't show up and insisted of helping him with carrying his gear inside. The whole place was a mess and his dad started yelling from the moment the two came in, Benji quickly pushed coach back out and mumbled a thanks. It was all pretty clear. After that it was the state's decicion whether to place Benji in foster care or enroll him into Chesterfield. The decision was made quickly: Chesterfield.
How long has their stay been: This will be his first year
Is there a chance they're change?: He probably will change positively in some ways, might develop other reckless behaviour

The Looks
'tall motherfucker with a baby face'
Benji is a young male standing at 6'1" feet tall with an athletic body type due American Football. His face looks younger than he actually is, often caused by the light shade of red that covers the skin of his cheekbones and a bit of his nose. Together with his wild, curly and brown hair it kinda looks like he just came out of bed. Once in a while he will try to style it a bit but that often doesn't turn out well. Benji has a mix of green and light brown eyes, with a small scar under his right eye. How it came there? Well, he has no clue so he probably got it when he was around four years old. His last facial feature is a sharp jawline. His clothing style goes from a skater type to a more casual and classy clothing style. He likes to mix and match different styles into one decent outfit.
Unique Characteristics: Pierced ears & a small scar under his right eye

The Story
Personality
Benji is a combination of a dork and a tough guy. When you first see him you might come to the conclusion that he probably isn't interested in being friends with you. But most of the time he really wants to, he just never learned the basics of making friends and norms and values. Give him some time and he will break down a bit of the wall around him. On his good days he's a bit more outgoing than usual, he might even crack a joke here and there. He will try his best to understand and help friends in times of need. It's important to him to help each other no matter what because he knows how horrible it is to handle things just by yourself. On bad days Benji's temper is a bit more visible than usual. His mood can change drastically if things aren't working out even though he's trying the most he can. He will be iritated more easily than usual and will back off from crowds back to a place where he has some space alone. This can be either a quite place of a place where he can drum without being disturbed. At those days he needs a moment more to order the thoughts in his mind.

Biography/History:
*Sorry it's quite messy described
The original family consisted three people in the picture: Mason, Aurora and Benjamin Jaxson. The three lived all together in Milan, Italy. Mason and Aurora were a young couple still madly in love. At the age of three Benji moved away from his mother together with his father to a new city far away from his hometown. The relationship between Mason and Aurora began to break, the start of a rid of argument. Why has been a question for Benji up until today. He was too young to even remember anything of it, including his own mother. Even though he has asked his father multiply times about it he refused to speak about it at all. That has been the hardest part for Benji. He has no clue who is mother is or could be, maybe she isn't even alive anymore in the worst case. The only thing he has left is a box of old polaroid pictures. That's the only thing he has that pictures the memories that he can't remember anymore. On the other side he doesn't know any better than a life with just his father. They lived the first few years quite normal and peaceful together. They weren't extremely close and just had an avarage relationship with each other. A normal tap / smack of correction here and there but nothing bad. Mason had his moments of breaking down but that was just part of it all at that time.
But those moments of breaking down so once in a while started to become more regular through the years, more liquor was bought and more objects started to fly through the air. Taps / smacks of correction started to change into rough punches, and light red marks that eventually faded away became bruises. Benji didn't know any better and thought this was something normal that happend to every avarage kid that showed bad behaviour. To him it was a sign that he said something bad, behaved bad or had to do better at school instead of showing up with terribly low grades. So he just sucked it all up and rolled with it. At the age of ten Benji started to notice that things were handled differently in the households of his friends. They didn't get hit at all despite their behaviour. Often they just got send to their rooms for a while and that was it. When Benji came into the 'teen fase' he started be a bit more rebellious, for him this was around the age of fourteen. Instead of taking all the hits he started to push or talk back at his father. He wasn't going to just let this happen. This escalated to bigger fights where they could hit each other pretty hard. Often Benji took his stuff and stayed at his friends house for about three days. Then the situation was calmed down at least a little and it'd be safe for him to come in.
Benji has no friends yet
