The first of Lucifer's kin, **Damian Morningstar** is the Omen that is fated to ultimately bring down Armageddon upon mankind. However, Damian isn't as keen to follow his father's orders, and rather focuses on his own, personal ambitions instead. Currently, Damian schemes to overtake Hell entirely, while helping his half-brother Revan exterminate the Nephilim.

## Biography

### Origins

Though Lucifer has sired many children, Damian is widely regarded as the first, and arguably the most powerful of them all. While most of his fellow kin were all too eager to please their father, Damian was much more ambitious; his designs far exceeded that of his peers, to the point where he would constantly work to undermine his rivals and carve his own empire. It would take him many years to do so, but Damian is closer than he ever has been at attaining his ultimate goal.

### The Following

It is ultimately unknown how Damian came to appear in Avashesh, but he hasn't come alone. His followers had set up within the Omen Cathedral, located in central Limbo City. Months prior, Damian had finally met with his half-brother, Revan. The two decided that it would be mutually beneficial for them to work together; Damian was still focused on his ultimate goal, while Revan wished to exterminate the Nephilim, a race already seen as abominations in the eyes of most demons. Since arriving in Limbo City, the two have managed to amass quite the army, and it continues to grow from there.

## Appearance

### Mortal Guise

As a mortal, Damian is a red-eyed, pale-skinned man of average height who often wears dark clothing, like flowing jackets or such things of similar likeness. His hair is a raven black, typically framed perfectly around his face and parted twice. His expression is often stoic, rarely showing emotion, but likely this is on purpose so his enemies never know what he's thinking. Damian wears two silver crosses around his neck, possibly in defiance of his father, Lucifer.

### Dread King

As a full demon, Damian appears as a massive black knight with a prominent skull motif. The armor seems to be formed through interlocking metal plates, made from some sort of otherworldly metal that emits a constant heat; the heat may be a product of the Armageddon Energy that surges through his new form, visible as a red-orange light that glows just beneath the surface of his armor.

## Personality

Damian is a charismatic and fickle individual, born from some of the brightest and dangerous minds of the underworld. Despite this, he is ultimately selfish and only cares to pursue his own goals most of the time. This can lead to interesting cases where he may ally or oppose with any number of factions, depending on if their current goals benefit his own. Of course, any alliance he makes is temporary, as Damian is quick to turn on his supposed allies the second they stop being useful to him. His only true loyalties lie with his followers, and his family sans Lucifer.

## Abilities

Damian's main power is derived from his manipulation of Armageddon Energy; a force unique to the Morningstar bloodline, that can simultaneously nullify foreign powers and produce temperatures rivaling the Sun's surface by contact. As well as his signature trait, Damian boasts a limited telekinetic power, as well as tearing wormholes in the air to quickly travel between dimensional planes. Even with how powerful he is, a single wormhole puts an immense strain on his body, leaving Damian weakened for a considerable amount of time afterwards.

Much like his father, Damian is capable of making "deals" with those who contact him, taking up their souls in exchange for powerful boons. Taking these souls onto himself keeps him in top shape, inching him ever closer towards his ultimate goal of dominating the underworld. On top of all this, Damian is an expert swordsman, utilizing his katana Lux whenever forced into melee combat.

Damian can temporarily invoke his Dread King form, changing his appearance into that of a full demon. This greatly enhances his physical strength and his Armageddon Energy, but at the cost of speed and finesse. Given the massive power he outputs while in this form, he can only maintain it for a short while, until he is forcibly reverted back into his weaker, mortal form.
