General Description- Naturally strong, he is very into fitness and finds time in the gym relaxing--but not as relaxing as playing on the field! He's a bit of a jock but he's genial and always has a smile. He wears a lot of blue and white, after more than a decade of playing for Scotland's team, his wardrobe has synchronized and only rare articles of clothing break from the pattern. He lost a significant part of his left leg at the battle of Castle Innvar, but other than a limp on the prosthetic (too much time passed to heal it properly) most people don't notice.
Possessions- His jersey, #29, his Nimbus 3500, various trophies and awards. A small kelpie statue he received from his brother Orion the day he made the national team.

There's always another cute guy around the corner! He's a solid friend and a good man to have in your corner, especially if you can get him to be serious for a moment! He grew up during the wars, and has seen some very dark things in those days, and sometimes his smile seems a little forced.

History-
Second of three boys, Damien was the middle child and the hellion of the bunch. He often goaded his brothers into some mischief or another, but was never mean-spirited. Their childhood was happy and rough and tumble, just three brothers out for fun. Damien was always a bit of a prankster though, and there were many times through their childhood and even their school years in which some tenuous peace had been broken by a prank of his.
Damien went into Hufflepuff where he was swift to make friends. He did well enough in his classes, but where he truly excelled was quidditch, it was there that he found his true passion. He loved flying and felt at home on a broom. He tried a few positions before settling on beater. It well suited his strong frame and he started working out to be even better. His grades dropped as he spent more time on the broom, but he managed to scrape by, mostly because he couldn't bear to lose his spot on the team. From then on his one goal in life was to make his country's team and be a quidditch star.
And then the Wars came. At first it was just a few monsters in the night. A little magic gone wrong. But by the time Damien graduated, demons were everywhere. The ministry made people carry blood purity cards. Everything was pretty much going to shit in a handbasket. So he joined the Black Watch and saw just how terrible things actually were. He started carrying an axe when he patrolled the night, ensuring those out past curfew were able to get home safely.
He fought in the Battle at Castle Innvar, losing the lower half of his shin to a spell. During the chaos of the battle he propped himself against a wall after slowing the bleeding, continuing to fight. Suddenly it was over, the Kamerens and Harknesses descending from the tower with a small boy and... the minister?? Headmistress Brightweather cast a spell that transported them all to Mungo's, where he was recovering when the Flux hit. The sudden disappearance of his brother, the loss of his leg, it all sent Damien into a bit of a tailspin. It was almost two years before he regained his motivation, driving himself to practice, to work out. His brother Orion cheered him on, refusing to let him quit. And then, like a gift from the gods, he made the team! (2025) Orion gave him a small statue of the team's mascot, the two went out and got spectacularly drunk, ending up toasting their lost brother and the lost leg before stumbling home.
Damien soon worked his way up from second string to starting player, receiving the nickname "The Sting" as a play off his middle name and the hard-hitting backhand he hit with blinding accuracy. He became a star.
