===Choosing A Name=== | ===Choosing A Name=== | ||
Damir's birth name, "Benjiro" is a Terran name meaning "enjoy peace" from his father's Japanese heritage. His parents chose it for him as a blessing, but it was not to be. Rather than growing up in peace, he grew up in a war zone, his parents killed when he was very young. When he came back in time, he had a second chance for life. His name, however, was taken by the young version of himself. He didn't want to take away Ben Kaji's name, so for a while he simply went by "Benjamin" because it was close. When he created his new identity, however, he was told to choose a name to be his permanently. He wanted to pick a name with meaning, but he hoped it wouldn't end as ironically. He asked his mother to choose a name for him, since she'd chosen his first name. She chose the name "Damir," which means "to give peace," because it speaks of choice rather than fate. | Damir's birth name, "Benjiro" is a Terran name meaning "enjoy peace" from his father's Japanese heritage.

===Empathy Differences=== | |||
Ben Kaji was born half Rodulan and half Terran. He had a four-lobed brain, meaning he could not be read by most other telepaths. He was empathic, but not telepathic. However, when he was 12, a massive explosion cause a terrible head injury. Two of his brain lobes were damaged. His brain was able to retrain itself to use only two lobes, and he regained his motor skills, speech, and most other abilities. However he lost his mental empathy skills and was now able to be read easily by most telepaths. | |||
