Description

Personality

Developing a somewhat cynical mien of late, Damien has a relatively bleak outlook that can throw some people off, but is surprisingly social for it. He can generally hold back from dropping his grimly opinionated views into everyday conversation and his temper is seldom seen except when he's been drinking in excess or deliberately provoked, though he does admittedly prefer the direct approach to subtlety. Can be uncompromisingly relentless at times.

Tends to dress somewhat scruffily – the only consistent possession of note being a silver locket with a picture of a young man inside it whose long dark hair frames kind and gentle eyes.

History

Damien was ever ruled more by his heart than his mind. Growing up without much by way of trauma, he got himself but a basic education before getting a typical labouring job, hiring out to building contractors and similar. Having both running and whittling as hobbies gave him an escape when needed, and shortly after his twenty-third birthday he met the love of his life: Alex Byrd. They met in a park - both out jogging of a morning, and took almost half a year to act on their mutual attraction. They meant the world to each other but as everyone knows - “The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.”

Their love was so very bright, and so after almost four short years of blissful contentment, Alex was claimed by a deadly traffic collision. This prompted Damien into a deep depression lasting several weeks. He turned to drink, and became the most temperamental anyone had ever seen him before in his life: erratic. Prone to mood swings. Almost resorting to violence on more than one occasion. Eventually seeking help after the insistence of a few close friends, he has managed to claw back some semblance of self-control, but his previously sunny disposition could not be salvaged.

After having 'visions' involving a strange woman he had never seen before in his life; he began experiencing strange things. He felt lighter of body, and was sure he had even hung in the air for a moment. Static shocks have been occurring around him with increasing frequency, and a blue spiral like a tattoo he never had appeared on his left arm.
