Life Before CHB*: Raised by his mother who was hardly around he lived a tough life always fending for himself, so he had to grow up fast. After finding a friend in school who's father was an engineer; he was quickly taken under his friends fathers wing because Bentely showed so much interest in engineering. More often than not anything his friend's dad could Ben could, it was almost as if the items talked to him. Then odd things started to happen to the stuff Ben worked on always seemed to get strange auras and affect things in the strangest ways. After finding that one of his creations burned its owner Ben ran away.
RP Example*:
"I swear I didn't mean for that wrench to glow at night it just happened" I pleaded.
"It doesn't matter anymore, Bentley, the townsfolk are getting uneasy with this nonsense."
"But..."
"YOU NEED TO LEAVE, BENTLEY." He said in a strong commanding tone.
I sniff about to cry and run into the dark woods behind the shop and continue on blindly...

Any notes about your characters:

Isn't one of his talents "always friendly and willing to lend a hand" contradictory to one of his flaws, "often puts himself before his friends?"

How much power can the items he craft have? What kinds of "items" can they be? Please be specific.

His life before chb do doesn't seem to fit modern day.

Edited and no on the contradictory statement those actually go hand in hand as he makes friends easily and he puts his friends before himself :)

What you said in your form is that he's selfish.

What you just told me is he's selfless.

If it's the second one, you need to add another flaw, because being selfless isn't much of a flaw.

Edited.

How long does it take him to craft the items?

And could you define a "Friendly Aura"?

A friendly aura could be healing, and other benefits that could draw energy from outside sources such as certain elements or from the person itself.

Depending on the item size wize is how long it would take so an average number of days could be two to three days to craft the items.

So you're saying the weapons could be enchanted with healing?

No I'm thinking more along the lines of charms etc.

So what charms could he imbue the weapons with?

Things like a two second stun, or he could make poisoned weapons.

You'll need to list ALL of the charms that can be put into weapons.

Ok ill need some time for that.
