Biography: Benji was brought up by his older sister Aimi because their mother, a weaver went crazy and abandoned them when their father left. Aimi and Benji did well enough but Benji acted out in school and was often labeled as the trouble maker. He spent a lot of time getting yelled out for acting out and talking back. He was always a very bright boy but he didn't particularly care enough to try. He was more interested in street dancing. He started his own business, offering his services as a break binder, spell binder, and homework doer extraordinaire. Benji graduated from upper school at Marik and moved to New Meridian with a few of his friends where he started street dancing for money.

He lived from day to day, mostly surviving on measly tips he earned from dancing in the street with his friends because all he wanted to do was dance. He didn't want a real job because nothing made him happy. He always gave the Leo's a good run around as a younger man because he stole what he needed to survive until he started making money or break binding and spell binding services. He made enough to rent out a small apartment with one of his friends.

Now that life is more steady for him he and a few of his break dancing friends, they take two monthly trips to Isla Partei to street dance for money and for competitions where they make money.

Benji met a woman named Nate who ended up changing his life. They dated, moved in together, and are now expecting twins. He is helping Nate out in Cap Ou Pas Cap and still doing some freelance break binding and binding to support their new family.

Bio: Victor

Victor Kenichi Beaumont
Daemon, lightening, enchantment, and demon
CLDF inmate and evil twin

Name: Victor Kenichi Graves
Age: 32
Birthday: May 20, 2078
Gender/Preference: Male. Anything goes.
Title: Mage. Prisoner.
Student/Scholar/Graduate: Graduate from Marik.
Residence: CLDF
Familiar: A Tasmanian devil named Riff
Magical abilities: Enchantment, Daemon, Lightening
Appearance: Victor passes it off as if he puts little effort into his appearance but he truly is a vain person and spends and good amount of time into looking like he didn't try to look good. He keeps his facial hair a little rough and his hair a little long. He dresses casually but his clothes are expensive and tailored to fit just right. He wears baseball caps often and always has on some form of heirloom jewelry.
Personality: At first, Vic seemed to be a charming trouble maker who was never really any harm but that façade changed rather quickly after his disappearance. After Vic went missing and came back people began to see a way douchier version of his old self. He was even more care free to the point of careless toward other people and their feelings. His manipulative side started showing and people weren't connecting to the same Vic that they had always found themselves connected to.
Strengths: His enchantment magic. His manipulative nature. His ability to shut of sympathy.
Weaknesses: Being alone.
Quirks: He's a momma's boy.
Secrets: He's been using enchantment magic on everyone around him from the time he was a child. His two biggest offenses are against Marlowe and Aiden who he has been using magic against the longest and the most consistently.

When Vic disappeared he insisted that he was looking for a way to bring his parents home without anyone knowing about it but in truth he was island hopping, looking for darker magic to bring home. He wanted a more powerful enchantment and learned the art for a price; a vampire bite and a pretty penny later Vic came home with a powerful but not so subtle enchantment magic. This power was enhanced by his demon magic which even Vic doesn't know about.

Biography: Victor is the fourth child of Camden and Katrana Graves (or so believes) and twin brother of Aiden. He had a pretty eventful childhood, causing trouble and blaming his siblings for his own offenses. He discovered his own gift of enchantment very early on and was not afraid to use it. He started with animals and worked his way up from there. He enchanted his brother's familiar to run into the wall several times, causing his nose to break and his face to bleed. Aiden felt the pain and ran to see what was wrong, when he discovered the scene the brothers got into a huge fight.

After that day Vic started using his enchantment magic on his family and friends, drawing in the people who were close to him through deception. He spent the better part of his life casting magic to control the people around him. He was a trouble maker and heart breaker, encouraging his twin to act in the same manner so he wasn't so alone.

The boys went to Salem Academy for a few years, but ultimately they were shipped to Marik because of their behavior issues. While they were attending Marik Academy, another student started a fight with Aiden because Aiden was hitting on the guy's girlfriend. As the fight broke out, Aiden tried defending himself by using his water elemental magic. Victor happened upon the fight after it had started. He used a lightening bolt to hit the man, as he wasn't thinking clearly -- all he could think about was saving his twin, he couldn’t face the world alone. After the incident, Vic realized that he had killed the man and immediately started covering his own tracks. Vic used his enchantment to make the girl forget about the entire thing and Aiden used his illusion magic to make the death look like an accident.

After the incident the boys laid low for a while, even though they were still creating chaos wherever they went. For now, they have both settled into the role of scholars, simply teaching the younger generations what they know.

When his parents disappeared Vic started losing his cool, he started losing his grip on his magic and the people around him so he went off looking for something darker, something more powerful. He found it as he was island hopping but because of his unknown demon powers the magic was more powerful and more fulfilling for Vic. He was less obvious than before, louder and more open about who he was. He enslaved Marlowe for a while until his brothers saw through the rouse and he landed himself in CLDF.

He has spent the last year and few months in CLDF plotting and awaiting his release.

Title: Scholar, Mage
Student/Scholar/Graduate: Scholar at Marik
Residence: A house in Marik with his wife and daughter.
Familiar: Tasmanian devil named Raff
Magical abilities: Daemon, water elemental, illusions
Appearance:. Aiden is casual all the time, even if the occasion calls for something more. He puts in a little effort if he knows it will please his mother. He tends to look a touch gruffy, like he hasn't shaved in a day or two. He likes baseball caps and sneakers.

Personality: Aiden, like his twin is trouble. Often care free and fun, he plays tricks on everyone he knows and tends to be a source of chaos. He goes looking for trouble and finds it every time. Aiden disregards rules and thinks that they are for those who can not think creatively and make their own rules. Aiden has a sense of adventure and is always looking for something more. That is until his brother disappeared.

After Victor left things started changing. At one point he had considered his confident and best friend, but after he left Aiden started to really get his life together. He started taking on more responsibility, settling into adulthood. He started showing a more good natured and kind side.

Strengths: Determination. Adventurous side. Anything goes sort of attitude.
Weaknesses: Self inflicted chaos.
Quirks: He whistles… often. He's a casual smoker. Aiden is a grandpapa's boy, he loves his grandpapa Ham.
Secrets: Keeps his baby blanket under his pillow. When the boys were younger there was an incident where their elemental magic combined, (water and lightening) creating devastating effects and there was a casualty.

Biography: Aiden and Victor are the third and fourth born children of Camden ant Katrana Graves (or so they believe), Aiden is a few minutes older and he can't seem to let his brother forget about that. They had a typical upbringing for princes, and were trouble makers from a very young age -- they would draw with crayons on the walls and blame their siblings and other such acts of young rebellion.

The boys went to Salem Academy for a few years, but ultimately they were shipped to Marik because of their behavior issues. While they were attending Marik Academy, another student started a fight with Aiden because Aiden was hitting on the guy's girlfriend. As the fight broke out, Aiden tried defending himself by using his water elemental magic. Vic happened upon the fight shortly thereafter and sort of lost it. He used a lightening bolt to hit the man, as he wasn't thinking clearly -- all he could think about was saving his twin. After the incident, Vic realized that he had killed someone. Aiden talked him into using his enchantment to make the girl forget about the entire thing that happened, and Aiden used his illusion magic to make the death look like an accident.

After the incident the boys laid low for a while, even though they were still creating chaos wherever they went. They both settled into the role of scholars, simply teaching the younger generations what they knew for a few years. Things started changing after their parent's disappeared though. Aiden started focusing more on his job, Vic became more distant. He disappeared after a few weeks of hermitage and was gone for months without explanation. During this time away, Aiden found that he was changing, turning into a more responsible and caring person. He was different without his twin around, things were better.

He started taking his relationship with Willow seriously. Reed handed over ownership of the Dirty Vegas to Aiden and he accepted it. He married Willow in the summer of 2009 and in March they had a daughter together. He is now running the Dirty Vegas and lecturing part time at Marik Academy.

Nate was sent to Salem Academy when she was seven years old and learned as much as she could from her father and the other scholars at the school.

Nate became involved in a rather unhealthy relationship with an older mage who charmed her beyond belief and Enki was really upset that she couldn’t see that this man was no good for her. They had their first real fight and it tore the two apart. Nate moved far away from her father, spending time in Marik before she realized that Enki was right.
