Damian Mendoza is a 2022-introduced and all-around character. He is the son of Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy, from Greek Mythology, and currently attends Ever After High through the Mythology Program. In the destiny conflict, he is on the Roybel Side, since he has some mixed feeling about being the next Athena

## Character

### **Personality**

Like his mother, Damian is an intellectual genius, wise, and very witty. He is also very hyperactive and can get excited over small things. His eyes look calculating like he is analyzing whoever he is looking at during a first meeting as if thinking of the best way to take the person down in a fight. He loves architecture and spends his free time designing new buildings or visiting national monuments. Damian is very strong-minded and stubborn, showing to be incredibly determined and daring. Though he is very kind-hearted, Damian can be very harsh and judgmental during first meetings, but he is very loyal to those who later had won his approval and he isn't quick to give up on those who he cares about. He also tends to be impulsive most of the time but knows when it’s time to be serious. Damian is prone to start shouting in Spanish when overwhelmed. Damian is also very adventurous and loyal to his friends.

However, every hero has a flaw. Damian's fatal flaw is hubris, otherwise known as excessive pride: he thinks he can do anything and do it well, even building a world better than the gods he believes that he could get his parents back together, build great monuments. However, Damian knows it is a really dangerous fatal flaw, which shows that he can recognize and acknowledges his mistakes. Damian can be extremely prideful and stern, having a "bad" side as many people do. Most of the time, he is only active around his friends and much more quite around new people. According to Sadie, Damian is the most level-headed demigod she has met in a long time. He hardly ever shows his true feelings, often hiding worry or upsetness with raw or teasing anger.

### **Appearance**

Damian is noted to be a boy of Latino descent and is described as very short, around 5’2, with puffy brown hair and the bangs pushed up, storm-gray eyes, smooth tanned skin. He is normally known to wear a black sweater, dark blue shirt with an owl on it, black jeans, and black and grey covers. He is usually known to have grey or black in his clothes

### **Hobbies and Interests**

#### Reading

As the son of the wisdom goddess and ever since he was young, Damian had loved to read. Whether it was trivia books, or just random books like History, Fantasy or Sifi, Damian is always reading.

#### Spear training

Since Damian's mother is the goddess of battle strategy and war, Damian is skilled at using as a spear much like his mother. Damian is often described as a fierce, astute, and extremely unpredictable warrior and tactician, much like his mother

#### Writing

Much like Melody, Damian is a writer. He is normally writing ideas for new monuments designs or different strategies for battle, he is also known to write essay's for fun

#### Architecture

Damian often studies ancient buildings and designs her own works, such as a temple for the gods. He can calculate the respective weights of several construction materials with few glances. He also owns a sketch book with designs for monuments and temples only for his eyes to see.

## Myths

### **How does Damian fit into it?**

Damian is the son of Athena and Arrio Mendoza, a mortal, though he was conceived when Athena joined her mind with Arrio. Since Damian is destined to be the next Athena, he will be a part of any myth Athena is from

### **Viewpoint on Destiny**

Damian is mostly okay with his destiny, though he has said he has a bit of mixed feels since he is destined to make monsters such as Medusa or Arachne, so he doesn't know if he wants to be the next Athena, so he is a roybel.

## Powers/Abilities

### Athena Kid Powers

* He is an innate expert in battle strategy
* He innately possesses enhanced intelligence,
* He innately possesses wisdom beyond his years
* He is instinctively able to use any weapon
* He is innately adept in various crafts, such as weaving and pottery
* He gives good counsel
* He can communicate with owls, as they are his mother's subjects
* He is very persuasive and can get people to do his bidding easily
* He never forgets what he heard just like his mother
* He can weave weapons since his mother is the Goddess of weaving
* He has audiokinesis, meaning he can create, shape and manipulate sound, a periodic disturbance of a medium (air, ground, water, etc) that radiates outward linearly in the form of a pressure wave. The effect these waves upon the ear is perceived as sound. From the point of view of physics, sound is considered to be the waves of vibratory motion himself, whether or not they are heard by the human ear. He can mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound, using it as a powerful physical force and high-speed movement. At low frequencies, sound can be potentially fatal to living beings by causing internal damage, while high frequencies cannot be heard by normal humans but can be used for sonar-like effects. Since sound vibrations can travel through the air, ground, water and any form of medium, defense by using physical barriers is difficult. The vibrations can also affect at a molecular level. In essence, sound is an invisible, deadly weapon and a versatile tool. A common use of this ability is Sonic Scream.
* Like Sadie, he was also blessed with Enhanced Hearing, he can hear with amazing clarity, distance, and even frequencies outside the normal range. His ears can pick up every single sound, can decipher layer upon layer of differing sounds/conversations, locate the source of noise or pick up a sound from a mile away in a busy city. However, unlike Sadie who hears everything, he can tune in on one sound, but he can also tune out to hear everything
* He can memorize others by singing. He also can hear quiet things
* He has minor mystiokinesis. He can curse objects and he is kind of like Children of Hecate but dimmed down a bit. He can't do all spells and big spells need to be done with help of Hecate Kids
* He has minor chlorokinesis as his aunt is Demeter and Athena was able to control (to a degree) over flora, so can her son
* He has control over Owls and Serpents just like his mother
* He can turn into an owl
* He can see people’s memories
* He can telekinetically control pots, items made from weaving, books, etc.
* He has the ability to see each specific pressure point on another person and are proficient at striking them in order to immobilize or greatly pain another person for a short time.
* He is changed during battle and become stronger and quicker in combat than a normal human could achieve.
* He is able to generate loose materials or manipulate any loose materials found around him to weave a wall. The wall obstructs the view of anyone facing him, and also blunts attacks. However, it does not stop attacks entirely, it is only capable of slowing the attacks down (possibly say that the wall will cut like a bunch of woven stuff or something ~ spiders and what not).
* Damian, using his inclinations of battle and strategy, can most of the time, predict the course of action an opponent attacking him will take, and are able to dodge or parry accordingly. However, if the prediction is wrong this may cost Damian dearly.
* He has the innate ability of hyper-cognition. He is able to perform more complex mental operations than a normal human could achieve. He is able to process thoughts and learning far quicker than others with little cognitive effort.
* He has the ability to empower strength and intelligence upon nearby allies and instill fear upon nearby enemies with a deafening war cry for a short time.
* He has minor telepathic abilities, making them able to telepathically communicate with their allies and read the current thoughts of an opponent’s mind. But this mind reading does not always work.
* Damian, through telepathy is able to alter the moods of a person or group of people for a short time. He is able to make an ally calmer and more courageous or an opponent panicked or depressed. Once a target has suffered from this power, they become resistant to it for a moderate amount of time.
* Damian can curse an opponent, temporarily ruining their ability to formulate battle strategies for a short time. With this curse, the target would only think up rather silly and quite awful strategies. This gives him a chance to attack or flee. Ex: The target would fake a heart attack and fall back on the ground, thinking Damian would believe it and give up on the fight.
* Damian, due to the strength of his mind, is gifted with the ability of clairvoyance. He is able gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through means other than the known human senses, for example beyond his normal sensory range or when unable to use his physical senses. Some techniques of clairvoyance are veridical dreaming, scrying and parasight.
* Athena gave Damian a power where he can curse an opponent with severe stupidity and ignorance, temporarily stripping them of their intelligence and knowledge. The curse can cause an opponent to lose their common sense, fighting skill and tactical abilities. The target could even be unsure how to swing a sword or use their powers properly. After a short time, the curse will wear off and the target will regain their intelligence and knowledge. Their minds will be resistant to further use of the curse for a moderate time and the user will be substantially drained.
* Athena gave Damian a power where he can turn into a normal sized owl of whichever species he selects for a short period of time, allowing him flight. He has the option to grow into a giant owl, it can be up to 2 to 3 times bigger than his size as a human. This will make the transformation more draining. As a giant owl, he would be twice as fast as a normal owl mid-flight, be able to transport allies and possess a very loud scream. After the transformation, he will be extremely drained. Unable to move and they could possibility faint.

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### Athena (Mother)

Damian has a close relationship with his mother despite meeting her very little, perhaps attributed to his poor relationships with father and step family. Damian holds her mother in very high regard, often trying to follow her example. He would often carry out her actions in accordance to what she thinks Athena would do, stating "Athena always has a plan". Likewise, his mother trusts and sees her son as "her pride and joy". They seem to discuss many things and have a set of plans in preparation for any catastrophe.

#### Arrio (Father)

Damian has several issues with her father. Because of his status as a demigod attracting monsters and knowing that he had been reluctant to take him in as a baby, Damian felt that he, along with the rest of her mortal family, hated him. While in Greece, Damian still lives with him mortal family, his father, verbally abuses him and belittles him, so you could rattle their relationship off as negative for now. Damian also has issues with his step brothers, Matthew and Travis, who make his life worse and his step mother, Annie, who also belittles him a lot

### **Friends**

#### Isaac Reynoso (Son of Zeus)

Isaac is Damian's best friend (and crush). The two have been friends since they were eight when they met at a park and began to play games with each other. Isaac was the first person to accept Damian for being Panromantic-Asexual and the two are close (Very close...dare I say...lovers)

#### Melody Potvin (Daughter of Apollo)

Melody, or Milly as he calls her has been Damian's best friends since they were eight. The two have been through everything together. Monster attacks, classes, you name it, they've been there and done that. While Damian is the son of Athena, the wisdom goddess, he is much more reckless and impulsive, sometimes Melody has to remind him "don't do anything you'll regret later" Damian is always lending her books to read and they talk about everything together. They met at the library when they were eight, where Damian was looking for a specific book to read, which Melody just so happen to have. Melody offered to share it with the son of Athena and from then on, the two have been best friends

#### Michelle Edwards (Daughter of Metis)

Michelle is technically Damian's aunt, since Michelle and Athena are half-sisters. Michelle and Damian share a sibling-like relationship, arguments, getting along sometimes, you know the usual. However, Michelle sees him as a little brother and Damian sees her as an older sister, however, they have a small rivalry due to their shared skill of craftsmanship and strategy but get along well nonetheless.

### **Romance**

Damian first and for most, loves everyone, but he has said he will **never** engage in sexual activities with anyone. But he has had a few crushes on boys, girls and anyone in-between, so he identifies as Panromantic-Asexual. The person he is crushing on, is none other than his best friend, Isaac Reynoso
