Damien

Art by Toxic

Damien, also known as Big D, was a follower of the Phrog Church and was well known for his undying loyalty to the Phrogssiah. He was also co-owner of Da Ween & Co.

## Appearance

Damien had pale blonde hair, blue eyes and wore a lilac hoodie, paired with cuffed blue jeans and white trainers. Since joining the Phrog Church, Damien had adorned the robe of the church, with a phrog emblem on the back.

## Personality

Damien was first and foremost a loyal follower of the Phrogssiah, basing most of his actions off what the Phrogssiah would want. He was incredibly loyal and willing to sacrifice himself for the Phrog Church, especially for the Phrogssiah. He often handled the Phrog Church's darker secrets and dirty work, so if anything were to go wrong, he would have taken the fall and protected the Phrogssiah.

Damien was a risk-taker and was happy to get his hands dirty, such as when he helped steal the flag of Berryburg. He could be reckless and act without thinking. This was both a strength and flaw to his character. Damien's charismatic attitude contributed to his recklessness, but his charisma is what made him easy to talk to and outgoing.

Sometimes he was naïve and too trusting of those in his own faith, and was often manipulated by Eryn. He had been passionate about his beliefs.

## Backstory

Damien's past before the Phrog Church is unknown by most. As discussed in their private meetings, Pluto and Damien come from ‘the factory’. They had spoken of the terrible lives they lived there that neither of them like to discuss, preferring to reminisce on the few good memories they share when they were spending time with each other and usually causing mischief. They had grown up together until they were 12 and escaped ‘the factory’, getting separated in the storm upon their escape. Damien presumed Pluto dead until they met again after 6 years.

He joined the Phrog Church 6 years ago, when he was 12, after being found by the Phrogssiah, who Damien referred to as Big E, in a horrible storm. Ever since then he had dedicated his life to the Phrog Church and its teachings. He was taught to believe that anyone who is not a member of the Phrog Church is an enemy of the Phrog Church. It was at the Phrog Church that he became well acquainted, and found family, with fellow members Wren and Blue. His chosen family helped develop the person he is today and shaped his life for the better (in his eyes at least). His known role in the Phrog Church was the legal representative, however he often acted as the Phrogssiah's second.

## Plot

During meetings between the Phrog Church and Berryburg, Damien backed up the Phrogssiah constantly, and also supported the action of the other members of the church. He wrote the original contract to form the alliance between the two sides.

On a visit to Berryburg, Damien and Eryn stole the flag of Berryburg together. However, when confronted and threatened by Lily (the President of Berryburg), Eryn made Damien take the entire blame for the theft and return the flag.

Damien, along with the other members of the Phrog Church, built an underground base for the drug lair. As head of the cartel, Damien managed the project and the lair was built under Mount Phrogmore, which is located on her land in Nawps. As well as this, Damien and other members of the Phrog Church were working on other projects, and Damien also invested his time into her business he co-owned with Wren, Da Ween & Co.

Damien and Pluto began to meet in private the days before the alliance meetings, which they deemed ‘Thriendship Thursday’. He decided not to tell anyone else about this secret, especially Eryn, who he knew would disapprove. He didn't see these meetings as a betrayal and saw them as a harmless catch-up with an old friend.

Damien partook in the egg heist with the rest of the Phrog Church (including new member Danny) as he believed that Berryburg did not deserve to have the egg that the whole server worked together to get. After the heist, Damien met with Wren, and found great trust and comfort in him and his words, and soon after they were engaged.

On the day of Damien and Wren's wedding he waited nervously with his best man, Eryn, for the wedding to begin. When Big E walked him down the aisle, Damien joined Wren at the altar, with Steel officiating. The two exchanged their vows and then as Steel was finalising their marriage, Damien was decapitated by an unknown person.

## Relationships

### Blue

Blue and Damien served together in the Phrog Church and were found working together as their jobs as the head of finance and the legal representative crossed paths often. They had a good working relationship and get on well. Damien considered Blue a strong ally and a friend, his worship of the Phrog Church making him more trustworthy in his eyes. Damien saw Blue as an older brother.

### Danny

Damien was welcoming to Danny as she became the newest member of Phrog Church. Damien wanted to get to know Danny more and admired her chaotic charm. He already trusted Danny in the short time he knew her as she was faithful to the Phrog, however never trusted her to the extent to how he trusted the other members of the Phrog Church.

### Eryn

Eryn was Damien's role model. Ever since Eryn saved Damien from the storm, Damien had dedicated his life to serving under the Phrogssiah and aspiring to be everything she was. Damien's loyalty for her was undeniable and there wasn't anything Damien wouldn't do for her. Eryn knew this and used it to her advantage, using Damien for the plans that required more risk and secrecy. Damien believed everything that Eryn said was law, and didn't question her authority, which had caused for Eryn to manipulate Damien at times, for example the case of the Berryburg flag. Eryn was the closest thing to a parental figure that Damien had, and Damien was incredibly attached to her as he found Eryn at a time where he had nothing. He trusted Big E more than anyone else, even his own fiancé, however, towards the end of his life, Damien noticed Eryn starting to become suspicious of his meetings with Pluto. But Damien didn't see the meetings as a betrayal and thought that he knew in his heart that he could always trust the Phrogssiah.

### Lily

Lily and Damien did not get along. They had contrasting views and often disagreed on things. Lily was not part of the Phrog Church and did not believe in the Phrog, so she was an enemy in Damien's eyes. Lily had threatened Damien after he 'stole' the flag of Berryburg and both had shown to have an antagonistic relationship with one another. Damien felt Lily is too reliant on violence and too uptight when it came to leadership and communication.

### Muffin

Damien looked after Muffin for many years as they lived with one another, Muffin having a room in Damien's basement. Damien became a parental figure for Muffin and deeply cared for them. However, Muffin left Damien to find their own path and form Pearoot Inc. with Toxic, and since, Damien and Muffin had fallen out of touch. Whilst they didn't interact much anymore, Damien still had a place in his heart for Muffin.

### Pluto

At first, Pluto and Damien had not seemed to have had many interactions since the start of the partnership between the Phrog Church and Berryburg. At meetings, they tended to avoid talking to one another, and when they did it could get aggressive quickly. Some kind of built up tension seemed to be there, something from the past. Pluto was not with the Phrog Church, so fundamentally Damien should have seen her as an enemy - but Damien still hoped she would join the Phrog Church instead of be against them. Pluto and Damien begun to have meetings in private, which they deemed 'Thriendship Thursday'. The two discussed their upbringing in 'the factory' and their close childhood relationship. After the storm the two were split up and presumed each other dead. It wasn't until Pluto left Damien's favourite flower at his house that Damien knew Pluto was still alive. It seemed that in the present, the two get on well in private and had a playful relationship, one shared of close memories and comfortable jokes.

### Steel

Steel claimed to be a god, but Damien worshipped the Phrog, not Steel, so he was conflicted towards them. On one hand, the Phrogssiah seemed to respect Steel, but on the other, Steel conflicted against Damien's beliefs. Damien had a neutral relationship with Steel, but a distrusting one. Damien could not comprehend how Steel could be a god when the Phrog already existed.

### Toxic

Damien was one of the returning customers of Pearoot Inc., sometimes buying items or services from them that are probably scams. The Phrogssiah seemed to trust the incorporation for now, so Damien did too. Otherwise, Damien's relationship with Toxic was neutral as he had not done anything to upset or anger Damien, and Toxic was currently employed as a spy for the Phrog Church.

### Wren

Wren was one of Damien's closest allies and friend. He saw him as a brother and the two of them, of a similar age, were often seen together causing all sorts of havoc before things started getting serious in the Phrog Church. After the Phrogssiah, there is no-one Damien trusted more than Wren. The two had also started a company together, known as Da Ween & Co. where they sold various high valued products (firework rockets, tridents, etc). They spent most of their time together and grew closer with one another every day. After the egg heist, Damien and Wren got engaged, and were set to be married on 19th March 2021. The two almost tied the knot, however, Damien was assassinated during the final part of the ceremony before they could become officially married.
