Skills:

Main Skill: Art – Bender is an adept artist. So much so, his scholarship relies on it. He doodles whenever he can, draws all his friends and create numerous cartoon strips including them all, plus his own characters which he’s created. This skill transfers to graphic design in which he is also adept.

Secondary Skill: Computer Programming/Design – Bender is a keen coder and at home on computers. Self-taught with his best friend, Sticks, he isn’t as good as Sticks, but is still proficient. However, he uses it more these days for creating fun games or for graphic design.

Main Weakness: Language – Bender struggles to pick up foreign languages and also struggles with English too, on account of undiagnosed dyslexia. Reading and writing can be a struggle and he is much more at home with numbers, and so is stronger than maths.

Secondary Weakness:

Sports – Bender is not an athletic person and doesn’t particularly enjoy running around or any team sports. His idea of cardio is dancing, which is something he does enjoy. But other sports, no. He isn’t a fast runner and lacks hand-eye coordination to play games such as badminton or hockey.

Driving Capability: *

Hobbies: Bender’s hobbies include drawing, doodling, making cartoon strips and creating them on Photoshop. He also loves listening to music and playing it whenever he can either on the drums or piano, in which he is adept in both. He attends the practice for his friends’ band Attack of the Rhododendrons as it incorporates both his love for music and hanging out with his friends, which is another hobby of his. He enjoys going to the pub and out to parties with all his friends, especially his best friend, Sticks Woods. When he’s on his own, he likes to watch anime and read graphic novels, both of which inspire his artwork.

Other Skills: Bender is capable of both piano and drumming and enjoys both. Furthermore, he is proficient in Photoshop and is an exceptional graphic designer.

Responsibilities: Bender is in the Art Club at Hillside Academy and often exhibits his work at the seasonal school exhibitions. He is also in the IT Club which is predominantly himself and Sticks; they founded it and run it weekly. An hour to sit in the gloom on their computers in silence with other people who enjoy doing the same.
