Damian

**Damian** is a major character in the A Falling Mystical World (落下する不思議な世界 Rakka suru fushiginasekai) series. As Darkwin Dust's self-proclaimed best friend and his roommate, Damian is heavy involved in the plot of the story.

He once was a supernatural, but as he said himself, he never had any desire to train and improve his ability. Later he started to repair, invent and build things, which gives him a very big advantage compared to practically all other people in this world. He is extremely intelligent and can quickly figure out tactics and strategies of his opponents and then act accordingly. Usually he never loses sight of the situation, even if sometimes it doesn't look like it.

He is in possession of a mechanical right arm, which he uses mostly for fighting or repairing things.

## Appearance

he has a thin build and is quite tall. Damian has a very unique way of dressing. He normally wears a black suit with a bow tie over a gray t-shirt. He mostly has a black hat on, and wears black jeans with it. The sleeves of his suit are often rolled up, especially on the left arm. His right sleeve is only rolled up when he wants to show off his robotic arm, which is only half painted with skin color.
A characteristic that stands out even more is that he wears his belt not under but over his suit. This therefore wraps around the pants and the suit.

## Personality

Most of the time Damian is in a good mood and always tries to throw in a few jokes, even if it is misplaced in some situations. He is very sociable and tries to get along well with others. But he also doesn't really care if someone dislikes him. Even when he is facing a hopeless situation, he remains calm and looks for solutions.

He considers himself as Darkwin's best friend, but Darkwin doesn't quite agree with this, because Damian always gets him into trouble and can be very exhausting. This can be seen in the fact that Damian prefers to help other people rather than him. He himself doesn't seem to notice how Darkwin feels about this.

Damian has a very intimate relationship with his car, which he names "**Betty"**. What it's all about, we can't exactly say with the current knowledge, but it seems to be the centerpiece of his collection.

Damian loves to be in the center of attention. This is also the reason for most of his actions. He also just does what he wants. It doesn't have to be logical. For example, if he wants to destroy a wall, he just does it. Since he is a technical genius, he can afford to do it. Every day he spends his time inventing things or improving his skills by helping his neighbors to repair their stuff.

## Abilities / Skills

### Ability

He was once a supernatural, but by his own statement he had unlearned his ability by never training or using it. By his own account, he had apparently been too lazy and back then it didn't really bother him not having one.

### Skills

In the meantime he has made up for his lost ability. With his above-average intelligence and his enthusiasm for mechanics and robotics as well as many other topics he started to repair, then to build and finally to invent all kinds of things. He can now build all sorts of stuff, including things you would never think were possible, such as the car Betty and his right robotic arm.

### Mechanical arm

Damian can be seen as a cyborg because he replaced his cut-off right arm with a robotic one, which he now uses in fights and assists him in fixing things.
He has painted his actually gray metallic looking arm only half with skin color, because according to his own information he was too lazy for it. This means that you can see his robotic arm when he rolls up his sleeves.

In combat, he mainly uses exactly this arm. Damian can use this arm to extend all kind of weapons at any time and then use them as he likes. You can't say exactly where the limit is, and even his opponents are always wondering about how this arm can exist without any kind of magic. From baseball bats and swords to even machine guns, he has already used anything. As the story progresses, he also often uses a grappling hook.

## Background

Not much of Damian's past is known. According to the story, he was a homeless man and Darkwin let him move in his house. It is not known how this happened, but in any case many of Darkwin's problems began with this event. Nevertheless, Damian was a great enrichment, because he helped many poor people in Mizuushi, as well as Darkwin, with his inventions and builds.

The backstory of his mechanical arm is also quite interesting. It is about Darkwin having accidentally removed Damian's hand with his "randomness" ability one day. That's why he built himself a new one, which is based on almost the highest level of technical progress imaginable. Darkwin is still ashamed of having cut off Damian's arm, but Damian doesn't seem very upset about his loss. It seems rather the opposite.

## Etymology

The name Damian is derived from the Greek form *Damianos*. This in turn has its origin in the Greek word daman (engl. powerful). The name therefore means something like "the powerful man". The Latin form is *Damianus.*
Damian's last name, if he has one at all, is not known. And even if he has one, it is possible that he has forgotten it himself. (Like with his age.)
