Working Belfry, by null0trooper, using Artflow AI
Belfry (Benjamin Xiáng Keeling) is tentatively scheduled to start as a Twain Cottage incoming freshman in January 2017. It could happen! When working on the shadier side of the law, he goes by "Matthew Groenwald", callsign "Cutler".[1]
Benjamin is also a pickpocket, one-time assassin, freight hijacker, mercenary, police officer, card sharp, and weapons smuggler[2] who once called a classmate's mother a "psycho hose-beast".[1] He's also no fan of cold weather.[3]
Appearance[]
Benjamin wears his dark blond hair short, probably so he doesn't have to do anything with it. Jade-green eyes, tanned (but still pale) skin, and a scaffold piercing in his left ear complete the head shot photo. He's a bit short and underweight for his age. When he blushes, his face takes on a brownish-olive tint.[1]
Powers[]
(Mutant) Manifestor. He'll be taking Introduction to Psychic Disciplines during the Winter 2017 term.[1]
Perception (human or electronic) is not reliable around Benjamin. He's made himself and others effectively invisible[2], been mistaken for someone others have expected to see[2], even altered his own and another person's specific appearance.[4]. He can scramble others' perceptions across multiple senses. However, that ability interferes with immersive VR, cyberspace, and telecommunications without specially-hardened gear[2].
Skills[]
In addition to English, Benjamin can speak Chinese and Malay, along with some Swahili and Arabic. He's proficient at sticking his foot in his mouth in any of these languages. He also has some training in silat.[1]
He's lead small teams in various operations. Ironically, he's also worked in law enforcement.
