Physical Appearance

Damian is an a tall, lanky individual that has very pasty and sensitive white skin. He stands roughly 5'8" and is 130lbs, which makes him very skinny. Despite being the skinny, young individual that he is, Damian has a very well developed muscle structure and is very well defined. While he does not boast the most impressive physique, people often underestimate the strength within him because of his lanky stature.

Along with his ghost-like skin, Damian's fierce green eyes are enough to pierce into the mind of anyone who gazes into them. Having been through a lot, it is often said about his eyes that they are sad; as if people could tell he has been through a lot.

Atop his head is his head of hair, which despite having to keep it short and neat being a part of the Colonial Marine Corps, Damian does his best to get away with keeping it as long as he can. Despite being born with blonde hair, Damian dyed it black in his early teenage years and has kept it that way since. If he lets his hair grow too long without dying it, the roots of his hair are the only tell-tale sign of his true color.

Other than that, he has no visible scars on his body in any place, except or on his left wrist; thin and white in color, it runs down his wrist for about an inch vertically. It is there as a result of an accident involving a knife when Damian was a young child.


Personality

Damian has always been known to be an honest, charismatic, and unique individual.

When he speaks, Damian is full of charisma and always fills his words with emotion; whether they be of the positive or negative side. He has always had the ability to make as many friends as he wanted, as he is a very easy-going, easy to get along with, and friendly person. However, despite his easy-going and friendly exterior, Damian can be a very nervous, unsure, and doubtful person. He rarely reveals this side to people at this stage in his life, but he has been known to in extreme circumstances.

Growing up, Damian didn't have the best of lives and that made him very much a recluse. He became self-destructive during his teenage years and was the epidemy of sadness and misery. However, as he began to get older and grow out of those horrible years of teenage life, he became more confident and more sure of himself. He discarded the sad act and started molding himself to be an upstanding individual, the complete opposite of what he used to be.

Though he is friendly and accepting, not everyone accepts him for who he truly is. He is interested in a lot of things that mainstream society necessarily wouldn't be. For example, he prefers the darker side of almost everything; tending to root for the bad guys. It's because of this darker side of him that he often pushes some people away, though not by any fault of his own. He never understood why people just couldn't accept him no matter what, but it's something he has come to accept with life and does his best not to let it bother him.

Some of the things Damian truly enjoys in life are video games, movies, music, and he has an irrisistable thirst for women. He has been known to be completely charming and has more often than not swept women off of their feet, but as much as he loves them, he knows they are his weakness. When things don't go the way he wants to with women, he feels as if his entire world comes crashing down around him. It never fails. But that doesn't stop him from being a ladies man.

Damian is very vocal about what he likes and doesn't like, so much so that it would be nearly impossible for him to list off everything from memory. If one were to ask him his opinion on something, he would be completely honest about it and not be afraid to state whether or not he liked or disliked it.

Fear is something that Damian lives for. Other people prefer to get adrenaline rushes from action, doing dangerous things... Damian would rather fear for his life and feel the effects of his heart pounding in his chest and feeling as if there was no hope in sight. He gets a rush out of that that simply cannot be quenched.


Background

Damian was born on to an unwed Mother and Father on the first of March. Unfortunately, from the get go, Damian's life would throw nothing but hardship at him as his Father chose to leave both his Son and his Girlfriend to live a life of crime.

Growing up, Damian knew little of his would-be Father. He was there for brief moments (if at all) and would always make his Son promises that would never be followed through with. Damian came up realize that this man never intended to be and never would be a Father, so he managed to stop himself from being dissapointed every time his Father let him down. As far as Damian was concerned, he didn't have a Father.

Raised by a single Mother who struggled with sometimes two jobs in order to support them, Damian found growing up to be a very lonely experience. He would often come home from school to an empty house (if they were lucky at the time to not be living in an apartment) and spend time with his best friend the television. While his Mother did her best, they never did live anything close to a life of luxury. This didn't stop Damian from loving her with all of his heart and respecting her for everything she was trying to accomplish for her Son.

Also growing up, Damian found he was almost always one of the most popular kids at school due to his natural charm and accepting nature. However, when high school rolled around and Damian began to hit puberty, things would change to him being popular to being one of the most disliked individuals at his school.

When he was thirteen-years-old, Damian met his first love. They did everything together and made all the false promises to each other under the pretense that they would be together forever and would end up getting married and starting a family. However, after a strong three and a half years, Damian was forced to move away from his love as his Mother married.

Despite pretending that the distance didn't matter to them, it tore the two young teenagers apart. Even though they did their best, evetually Damian was given the news that he had been cheated on. The news devestated him and he felt as if he had no more purpose in his life. He felt numb inside, completely hollow, and began to withdraw himself from everything and everyone. He adopted a darker sense of fashion and lifestyle and even a few times tried to take his own life. It was because of this reckless and angry behavior that he was alienated from the rest of his peers at school. He was picked on and got into a lot fights and risked being suspended, if not expelled.

It was also during this time that his step-Father and Mother had another child together, a younger half-Sister to Damian. He wasn't sure of how to feel about the newborn right away, but eventually he warmed up to her and not only accepted her, but began to look after and protect her. Unfortunately, after their Daughter was born, Damian's step-Father became very abusive, both mentally and physically not only to him, but to Damian's Mother, as well. This led to Damian getting into fights with the man, not only verbal, but physical as well. The police were often called and had to pull the two apart on numerous occassions, but no charges were ever lain. However, not being able to take the constant abuse, Damian's Mother filed for divorce and settled for joint-custody with their Daughter.

As the years went on, Damian became more accustomed to the fact and he began to calm down. When he reached the age of eighteen, almost all of the teenage angst within Damian had dissipated and he had once again become a functional member of society. He made new friends and managed to even form new relationships, but nothing like it had been before. He knew that he still hadn't matured enough to have a proper relationship. Thus, he was known to have more than one Girlfriend at a time and wouldn't be with them long.

After graduating from high school, Damian decided it was time to pursue his dream career in the military by applying for the United States Colonial Marine Corps. Ever since he was a child, he knew that was what he wanted to do with his life. Unfortunately, due to his unstable teenage years, his grades weren't good enough for him to enroll as an Officer. This not phasing him much, he enlisted after spending a year in semi-retirement, as most 18-year-olds do and by the time he was 20, he was a Marine in the Corps.


Sample Post

Damian had never been through a touger struggle in his entire life.

But had had done it. Not only had he accomplished one of the most physically gruelling challenges he could think of, but he had done it as a team along with his fellow Recruits. Now they had the priviledge of passing Recruit Training and being considered a Marine.

A swirl of emotions went through him as he stood at ease while the Drill Instructor gave his speech. He was half-listening to the man he had come to fear, hate, and eventually respect. The other half of him still couldn't believe he had managed to do it. He had literally pushed himself to the limit and he thought at times that if he just said, "I quit", things would be so much easier and simpler.

But in the end, he realized that wasn't what he wanted. He was here for a reason! He would prove to everyone that he was better than they thought; that he would amount to something far greater than they could ever have expected!

It was finally his turn. His Drill Instructor stood before him and handed him the famed eagle, globe, and achor pin that he would wear with pride in one hand. The Drill Instructor's other hand was held out and Damian gave him his own hand, shaking it firmly and nodding to the Drill Instructor before he moved on down the line to the next Recruit.

He had finally done it. He was now one of the elite.

He was a Marine.
