A genius martial artist, and a prodigy with the blade, Benjamin Fiore is the true Grand Master swordsman. However, due to his detest for responsibility and general laziness, he will never claim the title, nor desire it in the slightest, and few are even aware of his true strength.
A Master of Chi, Benjamin uses the life force to great effect in battle; capable of inflicting mortal internal wounds, with nothing more than a touch. However, on most occasions he simply uses it as a means of showing off/having fun. Able to walk across water, up the side of a wall, or even stand in mid air, Benjamin enjoys the shocked looks he receives from those who know little about him.
Any object that Benjamin has infused with his chi, he is able of controlling through thought alone. This includes any weapons, stones, flower petals, leaves, etc. and through the application of chi alone, even the most mundane of items can become a deadly weapon. The most well known of these, is the sacred and indestructible bow staff Benjamin can conjure from thin air. Passed down to him by the previous chi grand master, the golden staff is capable of blocking, otherwise infallible attacks.
By dividing his chi, Benjamin is capable of creating perfect clones of himself. Each clone possess an independent (though identical to their creator) mind, and as such is capable of independent action. They communicate through something similar to telepathy and are able to share more than just thoughts, but sensory data as well. As division of chi is necessary, as the number of clones increases, their proportional strength decreases; however, nothing short of an instantaneously fatal blow will destroy them.
Benjamin's greatest strength by far is his swordsmanship, however he rarely has cause to display it. A master of most known sword forms, he is able to adapt to nearly any scenario, and his trump card is aptly labeled.
Form of the Divine: Through perfect harmony of master, chi, and blade, the legendary style known as the Form of the Divine is possible. Capable of cutting down the gods themselves, Benjamin's swords become elegant weapons of celestial power, cutting through anything that stands before them, and extending well beyond their physical reach.
To most, Benjamin is a care free, lazy, flirtatious, drunken, failure of a teacher. In spite of this, his subtle, and often overlooked tutelage to those who need it make him one of the most well loved teachers on campus. Often posing challenges to both teachers and students alike, he good-naturedly awaits and encourages the triumph of others, preferring to be the stepping stone, as opposed to the victor.
