Damien

Damien is an original character of Li. He was created around September 2020.

## Appearance

Damien is a young man in his early 20s with a tall lanky appearance. He has dark blue-green hair parted in the middle of his foreheard while the back of his hair is slightly longer, falling at the nape of his neck. He has heterochromia; his right eye being a lighter shade of blue green and his left, a deep violet color. Above his eyes are a pair of thick eyebrows. He often wears a smirk on his face which accentuates the thin scar at the corner of his mouth. It is often referred to as a 'Joker' smile.

He can be seen wearing a red collared shirt with the top button unbuttoned, white collared shirt with a loose black tie and or a collared shirt with a vest over it with dark slacks. He also wears socks and slides or normal sneakers.

## Personality

Damien has a bold personality and isn't afraid to speak his mind, or rather he has an unfiltered mouth and makes comments that comes off as insensitive or unneeded. He can be quite judgemental towards anyone including his friends. On the surface, he appears to not take anything seriously, mocking those who are morally righteous or those he believes are less intelligent. Because of his academic intelligence and knowledge in tech, he comes off as a know-it-all. It is because deep down he has the desire to impress others to feel worthy. He believes his achievements can garner the recognition of others despite his poor image. Damien has goals he wants to achieve but when they become unattainable, he becomes lost and aimless. He often acts without thinking of the consequences and when it is too late to redeem himself, he feels a heavy wave of shame and guilt. He attempts to right his wrongs to feel better about himself. On a rare occasion, he can empathize with others especially if he went through something similar.

## Relationships

### Cadell

Cadell is Damien's best friend. They are partners in crimes and do everything together from hanging out to annoying others for fun. They share an apartment dorm together and even adopted a lizard named Lizzy. Their room is unkempt with clothes strewn all over the place and live off of cereal and ramen. However as close friends, they never share anything on a deeper level such as the problems they go through. Damien is also judgemental towards his taste in anime.

### Banyi

Banyi is his cousin he finds annoying but gets along with because they share too many things in common such as their clout chasing behavior.

### Mingyu

## History

Damien grew up in a household where he never felt like he belonged. He was the bastard of the family; the half child and he was always blamed for his existence despite his father the one having an affair. His family never liked him either but it wasn't only because of his birth but because of his behavior. He lashed out, talking back to his older relatives. His attitude towards them and towards life was a defense mechanism. He wasn't going to let them step on him but his behavior only led him to become more ostracized. He was never invited to family outings, thus he secluded himself to his room where he found a liking towards computers. He had a natural knack for understanding technology. At first he enjoyed hacking into games and had a hoot at annoying others and it soon eventually became a hobby of his that developed into something more detrimental.

He had the privileges of being raised by a wealthy family but it was a shortlived experience. They often made him feel guilty about using their money and status and by the time he had to go to college, he was kicked out of his home. He had no money to his name and no help from his so-called family. He worked part time at a minimum wage job and got a cheap apartment room to himself. His most prized belongings is his computer setup that allows him to continue his obsession. No matter what he did in real life made no difference so he looked towards another means to get noticed. He adopted the alias, Midnight and quickly made it on the headlines as a black-hat hacker who hacked banks, major corporations, government departments, universities , almost every web server on the internet, and leaked and sold private info without leaving a trace. If one asks for his motivations, he would simply say it's just for fun and he doesn't mind the attention, good or bad.
