Kobeni Hersey Benni'o
◊↔◊
Goes By: Kobe
Age: 24 years old
Gender: Man
Sexuality: People may question him, assume, or even spread rumors. But he is the only one who should know what he likes.
Appearance: Darkish blue/black, long hair tight in a ponytail reveals a thin, anguished face. Hollow green eyes set delicately within their sockets, watch fondly over the homes they've defended for so long. This is the face of our beloved Kobeni, a true man among boys. He stands tall among others, despite his bulky frame. There's something incomprehensible about him, perhaps it's his awkward walking as though someone took his kneecaps, or perhaps it's simply a feeling of indifference. But nonetheless, people tend to treat him like family, while making up bigger stories about him. Scars reached from just under the right eye, running towards his upper lip, and ending on his right cheek leaving a painful burden of concealed skills. Kobeni doesn't value his good looks like everyone else, he doesn't trust them to get him anywhere--his battle skills and murderous intentions are his money maker, so even if his greenish dull expressionless eyes are deep in thought while you try to speak to him, he doesn't look at himself as such a beauty or someone who could get a simple kiss just by asking. So compliments on his looks go unnoticed.
Notice how strange his face seems when he tries to smile. A glint of confusion. Kobeni doesn't smile. He's one of many who has lost that ability over time, and over the course of his life; he finally understands that happiness comes at a price. A price his face paid for.
One thing about Kobeni is that he is always seen wearing a black Turtleneck and olive windcheater. While also wearing ripped jeans; could usually be found going barefoot to places. What an animal. His fit is never casual. Even in the heat of battle.
On normal days he's wearing a simple shirt and left it unbuttoned at the top for a more casual look. On top of the shirt he's wearing a cultivated vest with 5 buttons, it has a fairly deep v-line, which causes the vest to line up perfectly with the jacket's v-line when it's buttoned up. The jacket was clearly made for him, it's a perfect fit. It's a solid color without a pattern that radiates finesse. The 5 buttons of his single-breasted jacket are all buttoned up with the exception of one, it gives the suit a bit of both world, casual and stylish. The jacket is longer at the back, it has no vent, there are two pockets on one side and one pocket on the other and there's a breast pocket that contains a stylish pocket square.

No one truly knows Kobeni, for the longest--everyone just addressed him as the Demon Lord, yet proving he's reliable and determined came in the long run. When names are needed, don't expect Kobeni to care. You could call him the bastard's sperm and still, he'll come swinging his sword for you. Of course, he's also inspirational, tolerant, and idealistic, but far less vigorously and often mixed with being a thug as well. His dependability though is what he's often respected for; a well-known respected person who lacks the knowledge for this. Nobody's perfect of course and Kobeni knows this, he might be an unstoppable force with a hunger for his enemy's blood...well that's the issue. The taste and touch of his enemies' blood drive him insane--he'll rather bathe in their blood than take an actual bath. In his own saying " It's much better than making out with a servant in the garden".
His laborious character and solipsistic essence do cause plenty of disagreement on often personal levels. There's plenty to say about Kobeni, just don't let him hear the rumors. The reality of it is that he's vindictive and complicated, such as his hunger for a lot of things. That's without even mentioning he's also haunting, furious, and antagonistic, but at the very least they're countered somewhat by being humorous as well. Yet the chance to show it never comes to light. Any healthy affinity is made exceedingly problematic because of this and his apathetic personality. As sad as it is though, he's genuine and disciplined even if in small doses. He wouldn't dare speak out of line, the fear of his father's hand haunts him to this day.
Relationship Status: He's a....huh
