Bennett, which stems from the Latin "benidictus", meaning blessed

Bennett is a fun-loving guy, without a single care in the world. Though this can be a good trait in some, Benny can be overly lazy due to his carelessness. He's naïve and fun-oriented, and without realizing it he can be a bit selfish. He just likes to let loose and have fun, ignoring the important things in life. Never failing to look on the bright side of life, Benny is a constant optimist, determined to see the good in everyone. He just likes to be happy and have his idea of a “simple life”, even if that means staying unemployed and without a finished college education, since he dropped out after his second year. He can be a bit of an airhead, and loves to make friends, and even though he doesn't take care of himself too well, he is a loyal friend.

It takes his family to keep him grounded and remind him of the more important things in life, even if his family's a tad bit disappointing in his choices. His father tends to see him as a failure, and though he loves him, Benny keeps his distance from his immediate family to avoid their criticism. Bennett can be a compulsive liar when it comes to telling people about his life, because he's worried about their judgement, and they, like his family, will view him as a failure. Because of this, he keeps himself away from people as much as he can, preferring to stay at home alone and play video games. Though he can be a slacker, ignorant, and lazy, he is a fierce friend, which is one thing he prides himself on.
Through the Years~Child-As a kid, Benny was carefree, rambunctious, and eager to impress. He loved showing off to family and friends alike, and was a star student through elementary school. He preferred the company of family to friends, and enjoyed helping around the house. During his late elementary years, he was the class clown, cracking jokes and pulling pranks, and slowly slipping in his school work.
Teen-As a teenager, Bennett let himself go completely. Over the course of middle school, his grades slipped from A's to C's, and he started to enter the rebellious teenager stage that he hasn't grown out of yet. By high school, he was spending more time with friends than family, and not caring at all.

You peer around the room, hiding in a corner from your extended family and their judgement. There is only one uncle you wish to speak with, and that is Uncle Amadeus, who has yet to arrive. You try to slink back to your room, but a glare from Ria keeps you glued to the spot. Finally, the door opens to reveal Aunt Aylaya, the kids, and yes- Uncle Deus. You run to him, and even though you are going on nineteen years old, he picks you up and swings you around like a child, scruffing up your hair afterwards.
"Hey, Bennett!" He chuckles, as you try to fix your meticulously-gelled hair.
"I've missed you, Uncle Deus," you reply, but the older Kiamara just moves along, and begins talking to your parents. A lump forms in your throat as he looks back at you with a solemn nod. He returns, pushes his hair from his eyes, and begins cautiously,
"Bennett..." You swallow, and shrink down as far as you can, "It's. Okay." Amadeus enunciates carefully, "It's okay. So you don't know what you're doing with your life quite yet, so college isn't quite for you, so the working world doesn't seem quite right. It's okay." Bennett's eyes widened, and he stood taller, then hugged his uncle.
"Thank you. Thank you for everything you've ever done. I promise I'll be better, for you"
------------------------
Benny and Amadeus can be called a lot of things; family, friends, partners in crime even. Regardless of any title, Benny and Deus are best friends, both treasuring the fun in life, both living without a care, they understand each other. Benny looks to Deus as almost a role model, and Deus sees his nephew as a younger version of himself, and thus favors him above most of his other nieces and nephews. Benny and Amadeus both see the world in a different way than others, and because of that, they have a relationship like no other. Due to this, Benny craves Deus' approval above anyone else's, and though he usually isn't scared of getting in trouble, the concept of Amadeus telling him off scares him, because if Deus is mad at you, you know you've done something wrong. Even so, Bennett comes to his uncle for help before anyone else, because he knows that the older Kiamara has been in his shoes and will always help him out.
