Age: 23

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Benjamin wears a vest that has the same color scheme as the royal guards armor. It has the Abbreviation P.R. for public relations

Cutie Mark: An Incense stick signifying his special talent to calm and relax with his words and assortment of aroma sticks.

Personality: Benjamin can be a little awkward when it comes with talking to other ponies. He is most comfortable when he helps ponies and thinks of them as patients instead of friends. He puts his work before others most of the time, making it hard to get real close to him. Benjamin tries to connect, however, to the best of his ability. This sometimes means he shares too much too soon, or just goes overboard with flattery. <br /><br />In combat situations he thinks critically but still has a calm face. He doesn't let others know his inside stress. Benjamin doesn't get his hooves dirty in combat too much as he only plays a support role. While his magical healing isnt up to par with nurses and doctors, he can provide buffers to his allies and sabotage the enemy.<br /><br />Benjamin is also truthful, only lying when the situation calls for it. Due to his critical thinking he can often diffuse social situation that turns hairy. This doesnt mean he can diffuse all as ponies are often unpredictable.<br /> If he does sucumb to anger or any other critical emotion he excuses himself and meditates.<br />He tends to direct attention away from himself, because when he is the center of attention he shares too much.

Backstory: When Benjamin was little, he got into a fight over a filly. He quickly talked his way out of the fight but was heartbroken with the fillies decision to date the aggressor. <br /> With tears in his eyes he wandered the streets of Saddle Arabia, where he was vacationing with his family, and happened upon an Incense stand. The stand owner explained to Benjamin the wonder aromatherapy can do for ponies.<br /> Benjamin bought a couple sticks and brought them to his home of Manehatten. There, he practised aromatherapy. <br /> College bound he decided to take Psychology. He shined in the class with his knowledge of aromatherapy. It was in that class he got his cutie mark.<br /> After College he became a Psychologist and used aromatherapy in his treatments. Few groups took notice of his abilities. One such group was the Canterlot Royal Guards. Employed by Celestia, Benjamin now acts as a Public Relations and Pony Resource guide for the Guards.
