Benny MacBeryl is a Errant instructor working within the Education Division in the Adventurers' Guild, having formerly worked in the Wayfarer's Division.
Appearance
Benny stands at an average 170cm and has a moderately fat and muscular build. As an Errant, he has tanned skin with multiple scars from battle, short sandy brown hair on his head, arms, and legs, and golden eyes.
His usual attire has his hair short and includes a dull red shirt with rolled up sleeves, tan pants tucked into brown boots with golden armor on his knees, toes, and heels. Usually, he tends to wear a dark brown apron over this, alongside a matching glove on his arm.
Personality
Benny, affectionately nicknamed "Big Ben", is an intrepid and heartwarmingly jolly individual driven by his passion and drive for all types of adventure, acting as a courageous figure and teacher to inspire others to pursue their own without a wrinkle of fear. His disposition can only be described as sunny; constantly smiling, laughing, and generally being easygoing with all of those around him, with a little bit of a gritty competitive spark to boot. However, in his deeply prideful nature, he tends to get rigidly stuck in his ways and methods, rather staunch and unchanging even when simply learning something new may benefit him.
Biography
In Benny's youth, he was quite the cheerful Wayfarer within the Guild, having joined it rather quickly once he was 18, and jumping to take any job that he could find, always traveling wherever and whenever he could. In the year 1206, he managed to meet someone on one of his quests, resulting in the birth of his daughter, Aisling, the following year. This someone stayed at their home, with Benny returning to Eversun City alone to raise his new child, with Benny deciding to transfer over to the Education Division a few years later to teach and inspire young adventurers with his endless spirit, knowledge, and experience.
Events
Gourdfest 1230
Benny celebrated Gourdfest as he does every year, wearing a rather aged costume his daughter made for him out of clay when she was younger and refraining from any spiritual events due to his distain for them. However, he did repeatedly visit Eleanor Valentine's Ceramic Respite throughout the holiday, learning how to create pots to put up in his classroom to try and expand his creative abilities.
Sundance 1230
Benny celebrated Sundance very calmly and simply, which he tends to do every year. The evening before the day of Sundance, he placed out Wish Tags to his class from that year, each one of his colleagues, and to his daughter, choosing to spend the evening with her to share dinner together.
