Damon Kirkland

Damon Kirkland is a recurring character in the Sapphire Fox universe as well as the Beyond Universe(s) and serves as somewhat of an antagonist in the animation series "Halloween Switch" and "Ashes to Ashes" and one of the main characters of the One-Shot spin off "Halloween Switch: Mommy Makeover". While he is a self-admitted Asshole, he is still considered a friend of Ash/Ashley and despite his selfish and somewhat arrogant disposition he does admit to his mistakes in certain cases. Damon is a diamond blooded sorcerer who is not all that advanced in magic compared to some of his other friends. While he does claim to be at least on Teir 3 of his magic schooling his less studious side has left him seemingly uninterested in pursuing magic much further and rather living his life more on his own terms in the Non-Blood world and using magic as a luxury to find some ease and amusement in things. He is rather selfish and more focused on his own pleasure and comfort than the wellbeing of others. While he does have a bit of a humbling moment when his magical antics come back to bite him where he offers to help in whatever way he can he does not change his ways overall and continued his less than polite habits.
== Design/Appearance ==
Damon is a young tall and relatively fit Sorcerer. He has pale green eyes and; like a lot of sorcerers, has a hair color that reflects the color of his bloodline, a pale white. He has been shown with a number of different outfits throughout his appearances but tends to usually where something white in the more casual settings. While his natural body seems to be more average built, he is shown on the beyond comic "Halloween Switch: Girls Night Out" to use magic to enhance his muscular build and crotch size when desired. Overall, his appearance is rather basic apart from the white hair but like most sorcerer kind he tends to alter his appearance to a more appealing form when he sees fit. 
== History ==
===== Halloween Switch =====
Damon is first introduced in "Halloween Switch, Part 3" where he is seen wearing a Steel Soldier (Parody of Iron Man) costume. He thinks to himself how he and his girlfriend Lydia are sure to win the couples costume contest at the party he is going to as both Robin and Riley pass behind him in their cross-dressed costumes. Damon keeps his helmet on throughout the party, but he briefly displays a Mana Mark through its tinted green visor showing that he is a sorcerer. At the party Damon joins Lydia and only briefly crosses paths with Robin and Riley. However, when the couple are announced as the winners of the couples contest, he is annoyed to have lost simply because the two of them cross-dressed to earn extra points with the judges. In his annoyance he decides to pull a Halloween prank on the two of them and uses his magic to transform the two of their bodies to match the figures of their cross-dressing costumed forms thus Robin is made into a real woman with curves matching her breast forms and Riley is made into a real man with muscles matching his body suite. Both of them are oblivious to this as they were slow dancing and kissing during the process but once the dance ends they realize what has happened and after confirming the impossible they head out of the party unsure what to do now much to Damon's amusement. 
Outside of the party the couple are debating what they could possibly do now, but Damon is quick to make a minor comment as they pass by him, and they realize he was the one who did this to them. Damon smugly admits it and displays his Mana Mark. Riley demands he changes them back, but Damon remains condescending and simply begins to cast a memory spell to make them forget about him but Riley punches his jaw before he can cast it. Damon retaliates by raising Riley into the air and choking her with magic. Robin pleads with him to stop, and Damon agrees so long as he behaves himself. He then admits that he is an asshole but he's not cruel and that the spell he cast on both of them is set to wear off after 48 hours and they will both be back to normal by Monday morning. Riley still threatens to hunt him down if he's lying but the three quickly part ways after that. 
Two days later Damon is in his dorm room gaming when Riley and Robin pound on his door demanding to be let in saying he lied to them. Damon can hear that Riley is using her female voice again, so she clearly changed back and tells them to go away. Robin, however, speaks still in her female voice much to his confusion and he opens the door to find she didn't change back yet Riley did. The girls are angry at him, but he swears he only intended for them to be stuck like that for the weekend and Robin should have changed back last night just like Riley did. He then asks Robin to lay on his bed so he can examine what went wrong. Riley says he should just change her back now, but Damon wants to understand why his spell didn't work right to be safe. Damon then examines Robin with magic and sees the cause of the issue. He asks the couple if they had sex while swapped and they hesitantly admit they did. Damon then announces that the reason Robin didn't change back is because "he's pregnant" since neither of them realized they were fully functional as the other gender they didn't use protection and now Robin is pregnant with Riley's child. Damon confirms he can see the baby inside of her with his arcane sight and while Riley initially blames him for putting them in this situation Robin says its not his fault and they were the ones who were careless by not using protection. Damon tells the two their only options are to either have him change Robin back now which would abort the baby or let Robin stay that way and become a mother. Riley asks if the fetus could be transferred to her instead, but Damon says that's not possibly with medicine or magic. 
Robin is in tears, but Riley says they couldn't live swapped because no one would know who they were. Damon however tells them about the spell Mass Memory Alter which would change their documents and the memories of everyone they know so they could in fact live as swapped genders. Damon however isn't advanced enough in his magic schooling to perform that spell, but he has a friend he can ask to do it for them. Robin leaves wanting time to think things over. Riley remains behind a moment where Damon apologizes his prank went this far and offers to help in any way that he can whatever the couple chooses. He then conjures a crystal and hands it to Riley saying it will let her transform back and forth freely from female to male but tells her not to use it in front of anyone except Robin or the DSC will be on all of them with the consequences of exposing magic. Riley then heads off to find Robin leaving Damon in his dorm clearly worried for both of them and for himself now that his prank has gone over the line and will no doupt get him in trouble with the DSC. 
A short time later Robin and Riley return with Riley back in his male form and announce that they've gotten engaged and that they want to live swapped until the baby is born and then change back once she's born. Damon likes the plan, but his friend Ash then appears and is upset because not only has Damon gotten into trouble, he needs to fish him out of but also that he needs to perform memory alter twice now. Despite Ash's discomfort and clear anger at Damon he agrees to the plan and casts the spell for him and the couple 
===== Ashes to Ashes =====
A few weeks following the Mass Memory Alter spell Ash mentions how Damon received a Legal warning from the DSC but not much else since Robin and Riley agreed to keep the secret. Damon is then seen again when he and Lydia join his friends Gwen and Chad at a night out to the club where he also meets a new girl Gwen introduces as Ashley. Unknown to Damon however Ashley is actually the transformed female persona of his friend Ash who had gotten curious after his experiences with Robin and Riley. Damon admires Ashley despite already having Lydia showing he hasn't changed all that much and after a short time in the club he walks up to Ashley at the bar and flirts with her a bit. Despite her outright saying she's not interested he persists until another very muscular man named Harvey comes up and defends her. Damon is scared off and resumes his date with Lydia. 
While Damon is later shown to have learned the truth of Ash/Ashley and maintained his friendship with Robin and Rylie he is not seen at the couple's wedding. 
===== Halloween Switch: Mommy Makeover =====
It was eventually shown that Damon remained close friends to Robin and Rylie and even formed a kind of "uncle" like bond with their daughter Katie, visiting and occasionally babysitting for them. At some point around two years or so after the events of "Halloween Switch" Robin has become pregnant with her and Rylie's second child, a boy named Steven and asked Damon to babysit Katie for a long weekend so the couple could have some time to themselves before Steven's arrival. Damon was at first happy to oblige and showed he'd grown very fond of little Katie however upon her goodbye, Robin shook his hand and revealed she and Ashley had put a plan in place to at last give Damon his comeuppance for transforming them and hitting on Ashley while he was still in a relationship with Lydia. Ashley had placed a powerful rune on Robin's hand that not only quickly transformed Damon into Robin's duplicate but also transferred Steven to him (now her) so Robin and Rylie could have the honeymoon they never got and Damon would be forced to be a mother in everyway for 72 hours. Robin promised that so long as she stayed true to her word and looked after Katie and Steven like they were his/her own the rune would reverse and Damon would change back as soon as she and Rylie got home in three days. Though upset the transformed Damon agreed and did her best to stay calm and enjoy the weekend with the kids fearing that getting stressed or upset may cause her to go into early labor. She then proceeded to breast feed Katie and get settled while Robin headed off to meet Riley with the couple and Ashley finally teaching him a final lesson for his past mischief. 
=== Beyond Universe ===
Damon is reintroduced in the beyond comic "Halloween Switch: Girls Night Out" where in this retelling of their story Robin and Riley attend the party but only Robin cross-dresses. Damon is also at the party once more in his Steel Soldier costume and is drawn to Robin in his/her Fox Woman outfit. He reads his mind from a distance looking for a way to break the ice and flirt with her, but he instead senses the truth about her being a guy. To have a little fun with him Damon goes over and pretend to be convinced by Robin's costume and even gives her some tips about howe to better adjust to the corset and uses magic to give her the knowledge of how to walk in heals by taking it away from the passing by Holly Allen. As he plays it off however Damon is once again transforming Robin into a real woman. After a moment Robin tells him she is really a guy but Damon fanes disbelief. Riley tells robin to use his regular male voice or take off his wig but Robin can't do either and the two soon realize what's happened and leave before the costume contest. Damon follows them in secret using his magic and watches the two of them react as they undress robin and see she is now a real woman. He then sends a magic scroll through the window to them which explains that this is a Halloween Prank and Robin with transform back to normal in week so she should take advantage of the situation and enjoy it while it lasts, signed with a D. He then watches as the two girls have sex and masturbates as he watches them through the wall. After he climaxes, he teleports away. 
== Traits/Personality ==
Damon is a self-proclaimed asshole and is genuinely selfish and snotty. He sees his magic more as a convenience to offer himself greater ease and entertainment in life. He is very selfish and tends to use magic is very careless and irresponsible ways. While he is aware of the arcane laws and does know to stay alert and diligent enough to cover his tracks should things escalate too far from one of his pranks his own skill set in magic is limited and thus, he relies on his more advanced and skilled friends to bail him out at times. Damon is interested in little else than what amuses or gives him pleasure as is evidenced by his use of magic to prank Robin and Riley and constantly flirting with women other than his real girlfriend. 
Despite his misbehavior Damon is sympathetic and realizes when a situation he causes has gone too far. While it doesn't do much to change his ways he is at least humbled by the situation he faces with Robin and Riley and offers his help in any way he can. He doesn't seem to resort to magic as much following this and his resulting warning from the DSC. Eventually he is seen to have made amends with Robin, Riley and Ashley and become a bit more responsible and less of an asshole but still his friends see fit to teach him one last lesson in humility by transforming him into Robin forcing him to take her place as mother (in every sense) for three days to have their final revenge on him. While Damon seems to have made amends with the three of them in general they couldn't pass up the chance to get back at him and ensure his bettering himself sticks. 
== Relationships ==
===== Lydia =====
While the current status of their relationship is a bit unclear due to Damon's interest in other girls Lydia is Damon's girlfriend seen in both "Halloween Switch" and briefly in "Ashes to Ashes". She is a Non-Blood and Damon doesn't seem to have told her about magic as he is never seen using it in her presence. While she does seem to genuinely like Damon, he is not very affectionate with her and seems to be dating her more to not be single and less because he has very serious feelings for her. 
== Abilities/Powers ==
Damon is a Diamond Blooded Sorcerer with a magic focused on souls and memory spells. However, due to his lack of interest in more intensive study of magic he knows little beyond the more basic spells of transformation and memory erasing. While he does seemed moderately skilled at magic he is not able to cast more advanced spells like Mass Memory Alter and claims to only be around Teir 3 while others of his friends like Ash/Ashley have reached at least Teir 5 by that time.

== Trivia ==
*As a Diamond Blood sorcerer Damon should have found the Mass Memory Alter Spell easier to learn as it is Diamond based but this shows how much he doesn't really care about his schooling beyond the basics. 
*Damon's original character design from Halloween Switch had been used in the earlier pages of Halloween Switch: Girls Night Out, but on the final page of the first Volume we are given his updated form.
