Teleportation "The ability to move instantaneously from one location to another without physically occupying the space in between. The user can teleport, ie. transfer of matter (beings/objects, including themselves) or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. This can be achieved by various means, including causing the atoms/molecules to travel at light-speed, warping the space, or use quantum superposition, in which the user teleports by replacing and restocking energy in a spatial behavior."

Ben Vaughn comes from a big family with a lot of problems. Five children in total, Ben the second youngest, Trent being the oldest. His childhood was a tough one with his father being an alcoholic and his mother dying tragically after becoming slowly more and more abusive. Ben was very young at the time so there's only little he remembers of his mother. It was Trent who took care of the family and eventually got Ben to a special school once it became clear that he wasn't actually capable of being in several places simultaneously. Often it feels like little kids can do that, right. His siblings never showed any signs of having powers, but their mother might have had some she never learned how to use.

Despite acting like an idiot most of the time, Ben is actually quite clever, so he had no problem enrolling to BIAPA and taking up geography as his major when he eventually put his mind to it. He enjoys stupid detective novels and hopes to become a detective one day. People often think he's way younger than he actually is thanks to his looks and his behavior, but the truth is he started school later than others because of the problems at home and he's already 21 years old. He'll never bring his age up himself and nothing can stop him from acting like he has no care in the world. If something starts to bother him, he'll just leave.

He's always moving on, not clinging to the past. He also seems to have an endless amount of energy until it suddenly disappears only to reappear unexpectedly. This makes him an exhausting person to have around. Like most young people he seems to believe he's invinsible.

At the moment he can travel short distances several times a day without becoming exhausted, but any distances longer than 5 kilometres take their toll.
