## Backstory

Wrestling was his life, the sport being his favorite thing through his teen and early adult life. He went pro and was very successful as a face (face being a Good Guy wrestler that the audience is meant to root for), but it was never enough. He wanted more, he wanted to be the perfect wrestling machine. He turned to occult means to achieve his ends, finding a way to replace his own body parts with someone else’s in his research. He can easily manipulate the human form to remove what he wants and replace it with his own, and it was made all the easier through wrestling where sometimes it’s hard to discern which part goes to which body. He’s not sure how much of “himself” there still is anymore after the amount of times he’s done this.

His career as a wrestler started to fizzle as he started swapping out pieces of himself, all of his scarring and increasingly stoic demeanor leading the wrestling association to recast him as a heel (the bad guys of wrestling). He continued for a bit longer, using wrestling as a means to take parts until he quietly faded out of the wrestling scene, pouring his focus instead into his pursuit of attaining his vision of the ultimate human form. His wife couldn't understand what he was becoming and left him around this time, but not before he took her ring - and her ring finger- without replacing it with his own (its the only part he’ll never change out).

He’s spent his life since then working security for the Magnus Institute and taking whatever odd bodyguard jobs he can find with people who dont ask questions about his appearance as he continues to take any pieces of people that are to his liking. He is a strong and stoic type being basically a zombie at this point, often unnerving people by staring intently at them in his attempts to see if he wants part of them.

## Powers

**He Has Your Eyes**

He can take body parts from anyone at anytime and graft them into his own person. He's gotten experience enough over the years that he can halt any bleeding for a short time as he does his work. He can stitch muscles and flesh back together, but is thus far unable to prevent the scarring prominent all over his body.

**Hands On Approach**

He has the ability to phase his hands directly into flesh and manipulate it to a degree.

**Physical Strength**

He is freakishly physically powerful, even for his already hulking form. He is almost impossible to stop when he's coming at you, and anything in his way isn't there for long. He can easily lift great weight with next to no effort. In thanks to his wrestling experience, he knows exactly the best ways to immobilize foes completely for a time.

## Notable Events

**The Magnus Institute Valentine's Party**

Damon worked security for the party. He was approached by Ainsley and Jade and spent some time with them, smoking with Ainsley and witnessing Morti die again. He grew suspicious on seeing Dominic staring at him, making mental note to keep a sharp eye on that one. He had some fun intimidating Max because honestly interns are too fun to mess with. Ainsley had delusions of grandeur about the two of them taking care of any troublemakers while Damon set them straight that he would be handling anything that went south. His group is approached by Carli and Dominic. A cat begs him to get picked up, which he does and spends a good while holding and petting her, to the point where people just start to assume she belongs to him. A fight almost breaks out between Ainsley and Dominic, which he de-escalates by talking Ainsley down. Ainsley thanks him, to which he assures them that he's just doing his job. He's approached again by Tayln to pet Lizzie, which he swiftly shuts down when it's clear Lizzie doesn't want to be petted by them. Lizzie is curled about his shoulders when he feels momentarily Seen. He's then approached by Diana, who alerts him to a spy locked in the Institute for him to deal with. He hands over Lizzie for her to look after, not knowing Diana's allergy. He whispers on his way out to her that Ainsley can handle any trouble until he returns. He goes to the room in question to manhandle the intruder out of there, seeming put off that they recognized him but actually removing them without grievously injuring or killing them because he did love his fans, way back when.

**A chance encounter**

Damon goes out to get lunch one day and is followed by a stranger. He tries to shrug them off, but they persist in walking along with him, invading his personal space and piquing his interest when they mention what they do. The two talk and he softens considerably as they make their way to the Institute, even allowing them to accompany them inside. He forgets all about his lunch as they get increasingly tactile with him, initiating physical contact and even sitting in his lap. The tension between them comes to a head and he finally kisses them before retiring with them to Elias Bouchard's office which he has secured to give them some privacy to do with what they will...

Lux later introduced Damon to J3zab3l, whom he also struck up a romantic fling with.

**Doctor's Appointment**

Damon meets Dr. Frederick Chapman, a doctor who enlisted his assistance in navigating his own experience with the Flesh. Damon found that his organs were all wrong somehow, and offered himself as a resource so the doctor doesn't become a liability. They have since met regularly and have formed an odd friendship as a result.

**Curtain Call Rave**

Damon attended the rave put on by Lux, enjoying the night with Jezzi and Dr. Chapman. He was called away by Ainsley to ask his assistance in a scuffle backstage. He fought alongside Ainsley and Bri to help neutralize the threat, carrying the two of them out to the doctor when the perpetrator vanished. Damon found out Lux was kidnapped and was ready to rush out to find them, despite his own injuries. He was talked down eventually, aided by Dr. Chapman physically stopping him from leaving.

**Attack on the Institute**

Damon was working at the Institute that day, helping people evacuate and intervening physically where necessary. He encountered Oscar who was holed up with Cad and Oleander, Damon getting frustrated by the fact that they were in the way of him doing his job. He was gifted an end-touched sword by Diana, a sword meant to be held two-handed that he easily could wield with one. He diffused that situation and moved on to assist Batty with an intern in the library. He continued to help where he could, gathering injured interns so the doctor could take a look at them.

**Lux Rescue**

Damon was part of the team to rescue Lux from their kidnappers. He fought hard and killed one of the attackers, taking numerous injuries before getting Lux back. When Lux came to after the perpetrators were dead, they admitted they loved him. The two of them and Jezzi returned home to recover afterward.

**Fisticuffs Crew**

Damon is currently participating in a fight club to get out aggression. No one is using their powers, but he is using his vast repertoire of wrestling moves.
