Name: Damian Thysania (Aristides)
Age: 19
Birthday: June 1
Gender: M
Category: Student
Class: College
Grade: Freshman
College Major: Demonology
Appearance Description: Damian is about 5'7'' tall, slightly dark skin and dark hair, but light brown eyes, almost reddish. He's pretty skinny and prefers baggy clothing he can hide his arms and legs in, to hide the scars of bitemarks. Also tends toward high-necked shirts and/or hoodies to hide his neck and throat, where he has one large white scar.
Personality Description:
Damian is personable and friendly on a superficial level, but doesn't usually like getting close to people. He tends to be excessively foul-mouthed and rather crude, though not terribly opinionated on most things. Doesn't have a lot of strict morals and often enjoys wild parties, though he will also sometimes spend long periods of the time in the library, being very quiet, and falling asleep over his books.
Powers:
Overall, fire and shadows. Fire mainly extends to setting his hands alight, though he could make a larger blaze if he so chose, but he usually has to be in a significant amount of trouble before he's willing to do so. The fire does allow him to create shadows, which he is much more likely to use, as he can manipulate shadows as if they were extra limbs. He can also travel through them, but only out of direct sunlight and only into a large enough and dark enough shadow. He also doesn't like using this unless it's a route he's already set up, since he's terrified of getting lost and not being able to find his way back. Using his powers, especially the fire, drains his own life energy, and he'll be exhausted and sick for some days if he overdoes it.
Biography: Damian grew up in an isolated village in the middle of Kentucky. Not somewhere you'd necessarily expect to find a den of vampires holding the town in an iron grip, maybe, but the Aristides line has existed in Silver Falls since the eighteenth century, or so the story goes. Damian's frightened parents sold him to the vampires as a pet in return for protection, and he grew up as just that. Pampered and coddled, but occasionally fed upon, he always knew that he would be drained dry by the patriarch when he reached fifteen years old. He searched desperately for a way out, and finally made a pact with a demon who called herself Noctis. In return for the fire and shadow powers she bestowed on him, she gave him until age twenty-five before the pact came due.
Damian decided that the extra ten years would help a lot, so he took the pact, slaughtered half the vampires, and went on the run. He lived on the street for a few years before making his way to Starlight Academy, where he vaguely hopes to find a way to break out of his pact. His mood tends to swing from fearful desperation (when he spends days straight in the library searching for material on Noctis) to casual disregard for anything but the pleasure of the moment, since in some sense it doesn't matter.
Additional Information:
He's quite desperately afraid of vampires, and for good reason. The remainder of the Aristides line has put out a bounty on his head, and they still have a lot of resources. Damian is never certain if he's safe from them. The name "Aristides" was bestowed on him much as a human might give their pet their last name, and he doesn't use it anymore, nor would he use his birth name, if he remembered it (which he doesn't.) Instead, he goes by Damian Thysania, after the genus of the white witch moth, which to him symbolizes transformation and freedom.
