Template:MQ Character Benjamin is the hero and main protagonist of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. He is capable of wielding four different types of weapon: Swords, Claws, Axes, and Bombs. He is guided by the Crystal of Light, disguised as a human, throughout the game, and has four allies: Kaeli, Tristam, Phoebe, and Reuben, though only one of them can help him at a time.

Because he is the player-character, Benjamin is the only character in the game who can gain levels from defeating monsters, make use of every spell in the game (so long as they're located first), and purchase and use equipment.

Benjamin's name is not explicitly canon; it is merely used in the American manual in an introductory paragraph outlining the game's plot, and the game makes the player insert a name of their own choosing. If the game is left to run on its own without player input, a demo will begin, in which the character has "DemoPlay" as his entered name. In the Japanese version's manual, the character is described using the term "Shu Jin Kou", which can be translated as "protagonist" or "chosen one".

Benjamin's personality is that of a simple-minded, adventurous youth with a tendency to be silly when no one is looking. When he wakes up from sleeping at an Inn, for instance, he flexes his muscles.

Stats and Equipment

Benjamin has access to every piece of equipment available in the game, outside of character-specific armors (Kaeli's Relica Armor, Tristam's Black Robe, Phoebe's Ether Shield and Mystic Robe, and Reuben's Flame Armor). The most powerful armors are automatically equipped as they're purchased and encountered, and players can cycle through the strongest available weapons in each category.
