He also keeps his hair much shorter than in the image, never letting it pass his eyebrows in length, and usually keeping it above the midpoint of his forehead. Personality: Damien is a kind-hearted person, willing to stick his neck or his heart out for those around him. He's generally easy to get along with, and likes to crack jokes, but he also knows when to get serious. When it comes to battle, he's merciful, but as a mercenary he understands that a job is a job and sometimes, people just gotta die. Backstory: Damien received a general education until he was 15, after which he was personally taught by his father, a freelance mercenary. His father taught him how to fight, how to shoot, and most importantly, how to take care of weapons. While he's certainly no expert in making or maintaining weaponry, he can keep one battle-ready for a very long time before having to replace parts or see a professional. After a few years learning with his father, the pair started working together on missions. While Damien started off on less dangerous missions, eventually his father trusted him enough to let him come on every job he took. As a pair, they were efficient, and Damien always worked for reduced pay compared to the standard as incentive for them to be hired over others looking for a job. Besides, between the two of them, Damien and his father made more than enough to support his mother and younger brother. Unlike Damien, his brother was a scholar, and even at 21, he still studies in a University, hoping to become a surgeon. When he turned 23, Damien bid his father farewell and made his way on his own, picking up a job or two before moving on from where he would stay, growing ever closer to his goal: joining Galdexia, the Mercenary's Guild. Equipment: Bayonet Rifle: Fires 6.68x43mm rifle rounds, kept on a sling when not in use. Gladius: Simple 30-inch gladius, strapped to his left hip. Revolver: A .357 caliber magnum revolver, strapped to his right hip. Talisman: Angel's Amulet -Abilities: The Angel's Amulet bestows a simple but useful power upon Damien: regeneration of wounds at will, and a passive immunity from scarring. While it seems to be a powerful item, it is not omnipotent: if a limb, or even a hand, were severed, the amulet would heal the stump if asked, rather than reattach the limb, unless the severed limb were perfectly set in place. Even then, the action is not instantaneous: even healing a minor scrape can take a few seconds. Reattaching a limb would likely result in an extremely uncomfortable period where the bone and blood vessels were slowly healing together, while the skin was perfectly attached as if nothing had happened. For this reason, the Amulet is more suited to heal minor wounds that would otherwise overwhelm Damien as time continued, rather than protect him from killing blows. -Backstory: Damien was presented the Angel's Amulet when he was 20, working with his father. They had been hired to protect a shipment of goods from an area in the slums to the noble regions of the city. As it turned out, the shipment held a number of unbound Talismans being kept in a warehouse, on their way up to be bought by nobles or otherwise studied by scientists or professors with particular interest in the amulets. Why Damien and his father were chosen for such an important job escaped him until he met the client he was providing: his brother's professor. As it turned out, the professor had mentioned the job to Damien's brother, who told him where he and his father could be found. After the successful completion of the job, Damien was rewarded the amulet. He was shocked at the payment, but when the professor explained who he was, Damien understood and told the man to thank his brother.
