Appearance
See photosâ
Damian is, to say the least, the exact definition of that of a bad boy. He has the âsceneâ styled black hair, with dark brown, easily mistaken for black, eyes, and isnât afraid to stand out, which is obvious.
He stands at around 5â8, but it doesnât bother him that heâs on the short side. Heâs far from looking anorexic, and has just enough muscle to fill him out, but no more than just that. His dressing style is another thing that causes him to stand out around the people in Paris. This usually consists of anything that is black. Very low-cut V-necks make up the majority of his shirts, and darker colours for his pants. As for his feet, he usually wears Vans, Converses, and his prized black combat boots, for those âspecialâ occasions.
Likes
âMonster Energy Drinksâ
âThese are pretty much what keeps me goingâŠwell, that and alcohol, of course. Green, Blue, Rehab, Lemonade flavour, Iâm not picky. I drink all of it.â
âAlcoholâ
âIâm not addicted to the taste of alcohol, but hell, I have to admit, it takes off the stress that reality brings; so if you can take away that stress for an evening or two, why wouldnât you?â
âMy Drum Setâ
âAhh, my most prized possessionâŠmore than any one of my instruments, and I do have a variety, this is my most prized. I protect it with my life. No sarcasm.â
âSweet Guysâ
âYou rarely ever find a bisexual guy that is justâŠwell, sweet. Someone who isnât so sure of themselves for whatever the reason may be; itâs a total turn on for me, probably considering that I am the exact opposite. Opposites attract, right?â
âWriting Musicâ
âI adore writing music. It is everything I am, and for a moment, everything that I feel is on a sheet of paper; a paper that will be heard by everyone. It really is an unexplainable feeling.â
Dislikes
âThe Colour Yellowâ
âI donât why this colour bothers me as much as it does, but I just canât stand it. Itâs so happy andâŠcheery. Something that honestly annoys me.â
âReligionâ
âReligion completely goes against everything I am. Iâm open about who I am, and I am damn proud of that person. If you canât accept that, well, look at how many fucks I give. None.â
âPeppy girlsâ
âEhhâŠI donât really know what to say about this. I simply canât stand girls that are so upbeat and positive about everything. Just because youâve had a silver spoon shoved up your ass for years, doesnât mean everyone else has.â
âIgnoranceâ
âIgnorance is bliss? I donât believe that at all. If you have no idea what is going on in the real world, well, thatâs just too bad, then.â
âRap Musicâ
âThis should come to no surprise to anyone that knows me, or even sees me on the street. Alternative is my style for life. No exceptions.â
Secrets
I| Damian never truly âlost his virginityâ with a woman.
II| Damian is secretly suffering from depression, though he pushes it aside as best as he can.
III| Underneath his dark, seductive outer personality lies a guy whoâs not at all what people expect, and most off all, he is lonely.
IV| Damian has never told anyone that he loves them. Ever.
Personality
Damian is a very complex individual. He certainly has the character traits like that of a leader. He wants things to go a certain way, and if they do notâŠwell, you donât want to see that side of him. Donât go thinking heâs a complete control freak, though, because when he isnât playing with his band, and trying to keep things perfect, he can be a lot of funâŠthat is, if you consider fun that isnât always legal, you catch my drift.
Damian can be a trouble maker, and itâs no surprise to anyone around Paris. He is known for just that. But, really, itâs all in good fun. At least, that is the way that he sees it. Heâs never hurt anyone, nor would he ever. Heâs been exposed to this kind of lifestyle from a young age, and it doesnât faze him. Since joining the band that he now puts everything into, heâs doing better about acting out; but there are still those times when he just wants to have âfun.â
In addition to his âacting out,â Damian is known to have a temper. Not necessarily a violent one, heâs just the type of person that isnât afraid to act out on his emotions. Especially when it has to do with his band. You can usually find him yelling at one of their many band practices, or complaining when things donât go his wayâŠthis also brings me to my next topic: relationships. Damianâs temper tends to follow him into the few relationships that heâs been in. Heâs extremely protective, and wants that person with him at all times. It can be a lot to take it for someone whoâs been in a lot of relationships, and the fact that he likes inexperienced guys, doesnât help. This has been the reason for the break-ups in just about all of his relationships.
History
Being born and raised in Paris, Damian has always wanted more out of life. He hates where he is, and would love nothing more than to find an escape away. But the truth is, since coming out to his parents at the age of sixteen; his lack of funds has always kept him here. He spent the majority of his late teen years staying with boyfriends, older than him of course that had their own place, or even just friends that had a place for him to take refuge in.
At the age of seventeen, he found himself playing the drums for an unheard of band, Darkness in Refuge. It really changed him to some extent for the better. He stopped getting into trouble as much, and put everything he had into the band. He quickly made his way up to the leader of the band, and now composes all of their work, and people actually know who they are. They play gigs at pubs all around Paris, and have even opened for a few famous bands, in the hopes of getting signed.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he puts into the band, thereâs still a sadness that lurks inside of him, just waiting to burst through. He no longer wants to stay in Paris, which is, undeniably a big part of why he wants to get signed. He wants to explore the worldâŠonly, heâd rather not do it alone.
Welcome to my Life||Simple Plan
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place,
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you?
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you're screaming?
No, you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No, you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like (What it's like)
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
