Appearance

Physical Description: At a glance, Damien is what people refer to as a "pretty-boy". With soft, delicate features and a strong jawline, it really is no surprise. The only feature that goes goes against the softness, is his intense eyes. Looking as if they are piercing through you, Damien's deep grey eyes are beautiful as much as they are unnerving. Further accenting his gaze, are neatly kept eyebrows, almost always set in a position that shows his scrutinizing. Moving down from his eyes, a nose that fits his face shape perfectly, sits above soft pink lips that hide perfectly straight white teeth behind them. Damien does not keep any facial hair, both from a lack of interest and a lack of ability.

A lack of sunlight is evident by his pale skin, decorated by various scars that are hard to see, as they are just as light as the rest of him. Contrasting his paleness, is hair as dark as midnight, with bangs that cover his forehead, while the rest sits neatly behind his ears, tapering to his neck. Having a love for cleanliness, Damien's fingernails are kept short and cleaned often. This cleanliness is obvious in the rest of him as well, for his hair is always glossy and well kept, and dirt is never visible upon his skin.

Due to Damien's line of work, his body is in top shape. Lean and powerful muscles are visible, though he does not have the bulk most associate with strength. His muscles have been built to fit his style and necessities, mainly grace and nimbleness, over raw strength. Though his muscles do not make him look especially powerful, a mix of genetics and deliberate building, have lead to a surprising amount of power within their smaller size.

The most peculiar and eye-catching thing about Damien, is the tattoo of a cross on his forehead. Damien's bangs conceal it most of the time, but a shift in the wind or a quick movement, is all it takes to reveal it. It's only purpose now is as a reminder of his past. The small cross was the mark of the mercenary group he had joined as a teen.

After Damien's run-in with the Lord of Shadow, Damien's right arm has been replaced by a pitch black demonic arm, with white energy dully glowing from ridges along the arm, that lead to a central groove on the top of the forearm. The fingers of the new arm are made of the same white energy, and end in small points, making the look almost claw-like. Damien keeps this arm wrapped in bandages most of the time, which is then subsequently covered by his clothing.

POST RESURRECTION:

Damien's original arm has returned, and thus no signs of his demonic powers are visible.

Clothing:
As a man of style and grace, there is only one manner of dress that Damien prefers: fine suits.

Damien owns multiple outfits consisting of black dress pants, white button-up shirt with a black tie, black suit jacket, and black dress shoes. Each outfit is nearly identical, with only a few buttons or hemming as the sole differences between them. What they also have in common, is that they are of extremely high quality, allowing for maximum comfort and breathing, all while being extremely stylish. This was achieved by rare imported cotton for the dress shirts, high twist count wool for the jacket and pants, and exotic leather with a high sheen, for the shoes.

The beauty in the outfit is it's simplicity. For just a simple black suit, it is remarkably well done and fits well on Damien's physique. Following the golden rule for suits, Damien keeps only the middle button fastened, revealing the white dress shirt and black tie beneath.

Accessories for his outfits come in the form of: a pair of green orbs worn as earrings, silver or gold cuff links, and the occasional pocket square.

No matter the occasion, Damien will always be seen in this outfit. The only time he wears anything different, is to bed. His outfit for sleeping consists of a black silk jacket and pants. He wears nothing beneath the jacket, as he prefers the feel of the fine silk against his skin. Should the weather demand it, much to his dissatisfaction, he will wear a plain white shirt beneath.

Personality

Discipline is one of the qualities worked into those who join the Knights. For Damien, it was something he already had. Never one for outbursts or any other sort of exuberant behavior, Damien is more of an observer. No matter the situation, Damien hardly is ever not calm, cool, and collected. Damien is also susceptible to getting lost in his own thoughts, as he will often space out and fall deeper into the inner workings of his mind. Although he is the analytical type who prefers to soak in information, he is also upbeat, playful, and positive. Partaking in friendly conversations, joking, and making friends, come natural to him. Damien balances his meticulous side with his sociable side quite well. This makes for a highly adaptive and easygoing person who fits well with most people. The only thing that belies his generally nice personality, is his facial expressions. Without knowing it, Damien's base facial expression is one that isn't so friendly. With his piercing eyes narrowed and empty of expression, and his lips devoid of a smile, it isn't hard to imagine why most people find him hard to approach.

On the opposite side of his relaxed nature, there is a fiery intensity hiding, coming out when necessary. This side is drawn out mostly by combat, annoyance, or tense situations. The gears of his mind begin turning even faster, taking in every factor he possibly can, and attempt to come up with a plan should things follow one of the many paths he mapped out in his head as possibilities. His time as a mercenary and a Knight have only served to strengthen this part of him, as they required the utmost attention to detail and accounting for any changes. This makes Damien highly effective in combat and strategic planning.

When not following his knightly duties, Damien enjoys exploring and research. Through his many years of adventures, Damien's love for traveling has only increased. To him, there are few things as nice as camping out under the stars and listening to the sounds of the wilderness, far away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. Even when not on larger expeditions, Damien believes it is imperative to at least find a nice secluded spot whenever he is in a new place. A garden,under a large tree, or even near a body of water, all qualify as places nice enough for him. As long as he is able to enjoy a nice view and quiet, he is content. Perhaps his least favorite parts of his travels though, is the battle against cleanliness.Damien is a bit of a cleanfreak,in fact, borderline OCD levels of cleanfreak. Wherever he is, expect to see Damien shuffling items in his immediate area around, making them more suitable to his tastes.


History

Darkness.
An Abyss.
Nothingness.
Then suddenly...
Light.

Although dim, Damien could see light. Awakening in an unfamiliar place, Damien felt something was off. He couldn't remember anything leading up to this moment, but he was sure that wherever he was, wasn't where he was supposed to be. He could feel it deep inside that his existence was wrong. He felt sick. He sat up from the table he found himself on, and wracked his brain trying to recall even a tiny detail. Nothing came. He slowly reached his legs down off the table, placing them firmly on the ground. His vision exploded into bright light.

Screams of anguish and rallying alike.
Explosions.
Clashing of steel and magic.
The smell of death.

Damien fell backwards against the table, clutching his head. War was what came back to the man. He didn't remember the details, but he knew that is was an important conflict. With those images replaying in his head, Damien struggled to keep standing. His name came to him after the flashbacks, but that was all.

Upon recovering, Damien decided that now was time for him to get answers. Where was he? What happened to him? Why couldn't he remember anything. Damien idly scratched his right arm, which also struck him as strange, although he couldn't remember why. Relying on muscle memory and the gear found nearby, Damien set off on a new adventure, to remember who he was.


Equipment&Items

Name: Oblivion
Class: B
Description: A weapon made for Damien to switch between lethal and nonlethal force while in combat. Oblivion's base form is that of a pitch black, 4 inch long and 3 inch diameter cylinder. With a press of a tiny switch, the cylinder instantly expands into a 6 foot staff. Oblivion was created using magically treated carbon fiber, giving it superior durability, while allowing it to retain it's strength while stretched.

The change to lethal combat is held within the length of Oblivion. When blunt weaponry is not enough, 8 inch blades can be extended from either end of the weapon. Much like the base, the blades are pitch black in color, although they are made from reinforced steel. The blades resemble those found on scythes, and are just as wicked in nature. In total, Oblivion weighs in at 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds).

Effect/Function: Oblivion is a blunt weapon capable of switching between forms to suit Damien's needs. With hidden blades, piercing and slashing damage can be added, turning Oblivion into a weapon truly capable of adapting to every situation.


Name: The Classic
Class: A
Description: Not content with sacrificing style for functionality, Damien sought out the most skilled scientists and enchanters he could find, to create a suit that served all of his needs. Starting with the base design of Damien's everyday attire, carbon fiber reinforcement was weaved in to vastly increase durability, without losing out on mobility. Beneath the new layer of weaving, every piece of Damien's suit was given a lining of MR-Fluid (magnetorheological fluid). This substance is a viscous liquid in its base state, but when stimulated, the iron particles floating inside form a solid structure, which vastly increases shock absorption, impact resistance, and allows reinforced strikes.

Damien's vast assortment of weapons and toys were accounted for in the suits making as well. Spring loaded arms in the sleeves for quick access to his weapons and throwing knives were added, as well as numerous pockets on the inside and outside. As a final measure, environmental and situational features were added, such as: temperature regulation and a hydrophobic coating.

Effect/Function: A highly advanced suit of armor in the form of: a black dress jacket, black dress pants, white button up long sleeve shirt, black leather dress shoes, and black leather gloves. This suit provides superior defense while maintaining unhindered mobility and style.

Name: Throwing Knives
Class: C
Description: A set of 10 steel knives, designed to be thrown with precision. Each knife has been carefully made to ensure that the rule of 1.5 ounces for every 1 inch of length has been kept, as well as each one having their point of balance located in the middle of the knife. The handle of each knife features four small holes that were only made to lighten the knife. The knives also feature a slight curve, that starts from the bottom of the handle, and reaches to the tip of the knife. The blade itself features one edge and a sharpened tip, which allows these knives to not only piercing, but cut as well.

Measurements:

Blade Length: 3 Inches
Total Length: 6 Inches
Total Weight: .25 kgs

Effect/Function: A set of throwing weapons that feature sharp blades and sharper points, perfect for slashing and piercing.


Name: Back-up Knife
Class: C
Description: The Back-up Knife is just an ordinary knife that Damien has hidden away to be used for utility or in a pinch. This knife is used for jobs such as cutting ropes or skinning animals. The blade itself is colored black like most things Damien owns, while the handle is a dull grey and features a grip. The knife is 6 inches long, 2 inches wide, features a serated edge, and weighs roughly half a pound.

Effect/Function: Used as a cutting tool and weapon in a pinch.

Skills & Disciplines

Combat Veteran: Having been trained by both Grand Cross and the Knights of Fiore, Damien has gathered extensive combat knowledge. From martial arts, to weapon skills including firearm usage, there is little in the ways of battle, that Damien has not done or seen. Though a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, Damien prefers the usage of swords and other short blades. When space is limited, Damien is quick to resort to martial arts, which is something he is still extremely comfortable with. His unarmed fighting style flows effortlessly from one type to the next, mostly incorporating many locks and holds to subdue instead of harm. When it's required of him however, punches, kicks, elbows, and knees will all be used with flawless execution.

Years of combat have also allowed Damien to read his opponents and make accurate predictions of next moves. While he is no mind reader, he does find it easier to read the subtle hints of body language that act as a tell for the next attack. Along with this analysis, Damien has also learned how to adapt to his opponent when needed. If his current fighting style is not working for his enemy, he will smoothly transition to one that is more suited for dealing with his opponent's style.

Experienced Survivalist: During his assignments with Grand Cross and the Knights of Fiore, Damien has had numerous occasions where camping in the wilderness was the only choice. During these times, Damien learned much about flora, fauna, and how to survive away from civilization. After a while, he realized that he enjoyed the serenity of the outdoors, when the rush of cities became overbearing. It is due to his love of camping out, that he is prepared at a moment's notice. Damien carries all the supplies one could ever need, including enough for others. His love for the outdoors also spurred an interest in cooking, so that he could prepare great meals without relying on restaurants, while still enjoying the wilderness. He doesn't mind cooking for others either, as he enjoys seeing the look of satisfaction on other people's faces as they eat his food.

Bookworm: Books might as well be Damien's best friend. Always thirsty for knowledge, Damien has read about a vast number of topics, ranging from geography, politics, history, magic, machinery, culture, and much more. He enjoys sharing information with others, whenever prompted, such as with a question or an open discussion. Damien is known to carry a few books with him at any given moment, which he will often lose himself in when a situation is dull or uninteresting to him, or just to merely pass time
