Damian

**Damian** is the character that Lost Pause/Noble plays in Rustage's One Piece D&D: Marines streams. He is a cyborg and an Ensign, who is a member of Branch 101 in the Marines. He joined the Marines to make the world a better place.

## **Appearance**

Damian has slick black hair, and wears a black coat and gloves on top of his standard Marine uniform. He has dead icy blue eyes and what appears to be a cigarette in his mouth. It was later revealed that the smoke that comes out of him is exhaust produced by sugar that he burns for energy, and the cigarette may actually be a lollipop.

## **Personality**

Damian is serious and calculating, typically basing his actions on facts and the law. Due to his serious demeanor, he has a hard time understanding jokes and verbal slang, misinterpreting them for their literal meaning. He enjoys sweets and has a strong sense of morality, trying to do the right thing while still following his duties as a marine. He seems to believe in the doctrine of absolute justice.

Ultimately, he seems to believe that it is his job to deal with the scum of the world. To make sure they pay, to make sure that they can never hurt anybody ever again. And to do that, he often resorts to superhuman and extraordinary measures.

He sometimes can be ruthless in his actions, an example of this is when he killed a pirate without permission of his commanding officers.

He also keeps a notebook with him, writing down anything he deems interesting or important.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

### Overview

Damian is a cyborg. The various modifications made to him have given his body many different functions, such as electrifying his punches, shooting fire, and mending wounds. His systems are powered by sugar, which means he has to regularly eat sweets, but at the cost of his body no longer being able to process other types of food.

#### **The Right Tool for the Job**

At 3rd level, you've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.

#### **Cantrips**

##### Firebolt

Damian hurls a mote of fire at a creature or object within range. He makes a ranged spell attack against the target(+5 to hit). On a hit, the target takes 1d10 fire damage. A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it isn’t being worn or carried. This spell’s damage increases by 1d10 when he reaches 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

##### Shocking Grasp

Lightning springs from Damian's hand to deliver a shock to a creature he tries to touch. He makes a melee spell attack against the target(+5 to hit). He has advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage, and it can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn.

##### Guidance

Damian can touch one willing creature. Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability check of its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the ability check. The spell then ends. It is flavored as Choppa giving the affected creature a tutorial on it's screen.

#### **Feats**

##### Mobile

Damian's cybernetic body modifications make him exceptionally quick and agile, giving him the following benefits

* Damian's speed is increased by 10 feet.

* When Damian uses the Dash action, difficult terrain doesn't cost him any extra movement that turn.

* When Damian makes a melee attack against another creature, he does not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature for the rest of the turn, whether he hit or not.

#### **Artificer Spells**

As an Artificer, Damian has access to various spells, reflavored as special sugar sticks of various colors. Ingesting one of these sugar sticks also causes the smoke he breathes out to change to the appropriate color.

##### **Green Stick**

* This stick represents the spell Cure Wounds. He calls this move "Sour Patch".

##### **White Stick**

* This stick represents the spell Expeditious Retreat. He calls this special move "Sugar Rush".

##### **Purple Stick**

* This stick represents the spell Catapult. After ingesting it Damian turns one of his arms into a cannon and loads and object into it before shooting. He calls this move "Berry Blast".

##### **Black Stick**

* This stick represents the spell Magic Missile. After ingesting it a cannon pops out of Damian's arm and shoots homing missiles. He calls this move "Homing Licorice". When use by Choppa he simply told him to “Fire the Torpedoes” . (Not yet confirmed to be a black stick)

##### **Yellow Stick**

* This stick represents the spell Shatter. After ingesting it, Damian shoots a star-shaped candy from his arm that blows up on contact, damaging everyone in a certain area. He calls this move "Starburst". There is a swirl pattern on this stick.

##### **Mirror Image**

* This stick represents the spell Mirror Image. After ingesting it Damian starts moving in place at incredible speed, making afterimages of himself to confuse his enemies. He calls this move “Sugar Rush: Gear 2”. (Likely a white stick with swirls.)

##### **Heat Metal**

* This stick represents the spell Heat Metal. After ingesting it Damian or chopper shoots an hot tamale at the target made up of metal, heating it up. He calls this move “Hot Tamale”. (Likely a red or black stick.)

### Infused Items (Inventions)

At 2nd level, Damian gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, reflavored as inventions or enhancements he has created.

* Enhanced Defense: gives him a plus 1 to his armor class

* Homunculus Servant: See Choppa

#### Armor

At 3rd level, Damian has learned to enhance a suit of armor to grand him various abilities. He can choose between 2 different Modules and can change the module of his armor after a short or long rest. He is currently using the Infiltrator Model.

**Guardian.** this armor is designed to be in the front line of conflict. It has the following features:

* **Thunder Gauntlets.** Each of the armor's gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while Damian isn’t holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than Damian until the start of his next turn, as the armor emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else.

* **Defensive Field.** As a bonus action, Damian can gain temporary hit points equal to his Artificer level, replacing any temporary hit points he already has. He lose these temporary hit points if he doff the armor. He can use this bonus action a number of times equal to his proficiency bonus, and he regains all expended uses when he finishes a long rest.

#### **Infiltrator**

Armor customized for subtle undertakings. It has the following features:

* **Lightning Launcher.** A gemlike node appears on one of Damian’s armored fists or on the chest (his choice). It counts as a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 90 feet and a long range of 300 feet, and it deals 1d6 lightning damage on a hit. Once on each of his turns when he hits a creature with it, he can deal an extra 1d6 lightning damage to that target.

* **Powered Steps.** His walking speed increases by 5 feet.

* **Dampening Field.** Damian has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on such checks, the advantage and disadvantage cancel each other, as normal.

## **Relationships**

### **Branch 101**

#### Kai

Though Damian was intimidating to Kai at first, the two worked together to rescue Lieutenant Pluto. During the Acrylic island arc, Kai strained their relationship by revealing his hatred of the marines and his desire to desert. During his promotion to ensign, Damian withheld promoting Kai until he proved that he would not repeat his mistakes. After completing the mission, Damian promoted Kai to the same level as Taiga.

#### Yokan

Damian and Yokan got along decently well after their initial meeting and worked together to rescue Lieutenant Pluto.

#### Bradley

Shortly after their first meeting, they worked together to rescue Lieutenant Pluto.

#### Taiga

Though Damian seems confused and occasionally irritated by Taiga's actions, Taiga found Damian and his abilities very cool. In the end, Damian was glad to save him upon seeing Taiga reunite with his brother Fips. Despite seemingly having a low opinion of Taiga, he was willing to create a device to disguise his face, after noticing Taiga's discomfort being seen in the Ballywood Kingdom. Damian is repeatedly called ‘brother” by Taiga, with him responding that they were not related.

#### Pluto

Though they haven't interacted much, due to Pluto being Damian's superior officer, he worked with his fellow Branch 101 members to rescue him when he was captured by pirates. Damian respects Pluto's authority and only stood down against Malady when ordered to do so by him.

#### Bailey Turner

Bailey is Pluto's and, by extension, Damian's superior officer. Upon first meeting Damian, Bailey appeared to recall a relation between the two at some point in the past, but couldn't determine it exactly. Bailey was impressed with the abilities of Damian and his associates, but reprimanded him for attempting to execute a pirate without orders from herself or Pluto.

### **Enemies**

#### Jeperd

The chief scientist on the project to build Damian's Black Armor. Once Damian was demoted he began declaring himself the true creator of the Armor, as well as modifying it in an attempt to make it better. Damian is angered by Jeperd's tampering with his creation, installing a new system that just made using it more complicated, without improving anything.

## **History**

### Past

#### Birth and Childhood

Nothing is known about Damian’s childhood.

Damian invented and used an advanced set of black armor on behalf of the marines in order to aid King Malachite's in retrieving his son after he escaped from the palace with his royal guard. During that event he slaughtered various soldiers and bystanders, including Malice's parents. Before the events of Marines: Episode 1, Damian had been around The Marines for a long time and held the rank of seaman recruit. Despite going on a mission previously in his career, an unknown event caused him to stop going on missions for quite some time.

### Present

After he was finally given a new assignment, he was placed under the command of Lieutenant Pluto and became a member of Branch 101. Damian and the rest of the men under Lieutenant Pluto's command were sent on a scouting mission to the surrounding islands. During the crews stop at Sakajima Island, Damian was able to meet several of his fellow Seaman Recruits during dinner. After the poor food quality caused one of his comrades, Kai to leave and catch fish, Damian and a handful of other Seamen Recruits followed. After the groups success in catching and cooking fish, they all went to their bunks and turned in for the night.
