Basic Information[/u]
Name: Damien Willows Kross
Age/Grade: 19/Senior (Missed school time due to trip to Europe. Explained in history.)
Height: 6'0
Weight: 141lbs
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Eye Color: Blue
Hair: Red
Passtime Information
Hobbies/Talents/Skills: Gambling, parties, drinking, clubbing, Chess, Stratego.
Sports: Only mental games for Damien.
Clubs: Attempting to form a Play Production class.
Gangs: The Reapers (Former member of Nocturne, The Colossai, Reign of Blood, and Feudal Darkness)
Mental Information
Personality: In past times, Damien had been your average skirt-chaser, doing anything possible to sly his way into a girl's heart... and clothing. However, events caused from emotional trauma have slowly manifested into an alter-ego, known only as Jester. It used to be an easily controlled situation, letting Jester take control only to fight, but now, the side of insanity calls the shots, making Damien a far different- and more dangerous- person. The majority of the day, Damien appears and acts as though he was your average person, but on the inside, constant mental conversations between him and Jester are afoot.
Likes: Gambling, strategy games, Kate McHallin, vodka, progressive music.
Dislikes: Idiots, tuna sandwiches, clowns.
Mentality/Ideal/Belief: "All the world's my stage, but more and more, I find myself alone, and without an audience."
Physical Information
Build: Lean. Damien's metabolism keeps his body naturally lean, but his has a natural inability to rapidly build muscle, giving him only a partially toned body.
Defining Marks: Phoenix tattoo from 552.
Description: (Daily) - Damien enjoys wearing formal clothing day to day, but to a less extravagant extent. Dress shirts and pants are always in great supply, some days even calling for a sport coat. A clean appearance makes for a clear mind.
(Combat) - There is no more perfect an occasion for formal wear than a sanctioned fight. When a battle is in agenda, Damien wears black dress pants, a purple vest over a while shirt, a sport coat, and his trademark tophat. Occasionally, his silver cane and mask will accompany him.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Hapkido
Years Practiced: 10
Description of style: Hapkido (also spelled hap ki do or hapki-do) is a dynamic and eclectic Korean martial art. It is a form of self-defense that employs joint locks, pressure points, throws, kicks, and other strikes. Hapkido practitioners train to counter the techniques of other martial arts as well as common unskilled attacks. There are also traditional weapons including short stick, cane, rope, nunchucks, sword and staff which vary in emphasis depending on the particular tradition examined.
Hapkido contains both long and close range fighting techniques, utilizing dynamic kicking and percussive hand strikes at longer ranges and pressure point strikes, jointlocks, or throws at closer fighting distances. Hapkido emphasizes circular motion, non-resisting movements, and control of the opponent. Practitioners seek to gain advantage through footwork and body positioning to employ leverage, avoiding the use of strength against strength.
Overall Strengths: Hapkido allows Damien to make up for any disadvantages he encounters in battle. Those larger than him are perfect targets for Hapkido's focus of controlling momentum and using it against the attacker. Joint locks allow Damien to also control those smaller than him, making even the fastest of opponents helpless in his clutches.
Overall Weaknesses: Though Hapkido is a useful fighting style against people of all sizes, getting a hold of them is a difficult task to begin with. Damien's lack of powerful muscle prevents him from forcing his opponents into holds. He also has a slight fear of heights.
History Information
History: The far past of Damien is nothing short of average and undeserving of mention. Notes of merit include being birthed in California under a loving mother and father, learning the defensive style of Hapkido, and enrolling at PHS 552. Now, 552- this is where Damien's existance becomes worth explaining.
As a freshman, Damien Kross excelled in his classes, but came up short in the relationship department. His attempts were almost comedic in their failure, ranging from simple ask-outs to a full-on fake kidnapping/rescue with aid from Damien's friend.
Many conflicts required sides to be chosen, and always, Damien found himself on the side of revolution, be it under the iron-fisted tyranny of Reign of Blood or the steel-spirited revolution of The Colossai. The attempts at rebellion never came through, but always, the elusive Damien found his way out of problems, easing himself back into society and safety.
His time in Colossai brought him Kate, who he considered to be the love of his young life. Everything she brought to his life was everything that was missing. This bright chapter though, would soon turn to his darkest.
The Horsemen... A gang whose members took up the names of the Apocalypse Riders and the Seven Deadly Sins. Damien would find himself under the name Lust... In a rapid time, Lust became one of the single most hated people in the area, hunted down like dangerous game for his many acts. His acts you ask? The brutal rapes of Athalia and Darien, two local girls. The persona of Lust opened wider the doorway keeping Damien's dark desires at bay... In an act of repentace, Damien told everything to his lover and pleaded for mercy... But she gave none.
The loss of Kate led to a severe depression- the perfect conditions for Jester to make his move. The desires in Damien's mind manifested and became what is essentially an alter-ego... One that enjoyed sins of the flesh and the gift of insanity. At first, suppressing the creature was easy, but soon... the battle was lost.
Now, entering PHS42, little remains of the Damien that walked the halls of 552. What remains is a feeble grasp on reality... a kind-hearted madness... The Jester.

General Qi Description:
Damien's taste for theatrics was legendary amongst the people of 552. Talks of his Grand Orchestra were all too common, and now, Damien delivers the Orchestra to his foes. By manipulating sound waves, he can amplify the amount of sound sent to his foes or rob them of sound.
Qi Strengths:
By robbing his opponents of sounds, he can execute stealth attacks, or, he can use the sound offensively, overloading his foe's ears.
