Hello! I'm Ben and I'm new to this game (and games like this in general, actually). Very excited to jump right in! I live in LA -- although am currently traveling in Europe -- and am friends with Aleena. I think that's everything interesting about me.

My character is Webster Knox, an Azurcrest senior who just transferred in from Beauxbatons. Full profile here

Classes: Potions, Charms, History of Magic, Outdoor Education, Astronomy, Artificing, Aesthetic Magic (Advanced Study: Music)
Activities: Boating, Outdoor Exploration, Azurcrest Mascot

What to say about him? Webster is new to Gooseberry this year. He wanted to come to be with his best friend, Lilika Ignacz. Also, he just wants a fresh start. He's always lived a very reserved, well-mannered, and quiet life (initially in Braddock, PA and later at Beauxbatons) and now is trying -- with Lilika's encouragement -- to say yes to everything, to have adventures, \ to collect stories. So while he (and I) is only vaguely familiar with the events of last year, he's excited about the possibility of crazy shit doing down again. 

His placement in Azurcrest is more an optimistic projection than the result of a body of work; that is, he hasn't really lived an Azurcrest lifestyle but he's intent on doing so starting now. (This isn't always easy for him, though, and he can't always follow through.)

What else? His dad is a muggle steelworker and Quaker leader. His mom is a pureblood Spanish noble. They're both serious, hardworking, respectful, and humble. Webster speaks Spanish, has mechanical and handyman skills, and secretly writes poetry. Besides Lilika, Webster hasn't had many friends. He was a loner at Beauxbatons and spent most of his time there playing music. Oh yeah, Webster is super into music.

- Because Webster is trying to say "Yes!" to more things, he's probably down for most storylines. Even if they terrify him.

- Webster is definitely looking for friends -- his problem in the past hasn't been that people don't like him (he's likable!) but he just hasn't formed many deep bonds. But he's trying!

- Happy to have an enemy! I should note, he's rather non-confrontational. He's more likely to stand up for his friends than he is for himself. So anyone who crosses Lilika will have to deal with Webster, too.

- Oh, and if anyone wanted to be in a band, Webster would happily, happily join.

Feel free to ask anything about him or me!
