Background: Damien grew up in an orphanage after his teen birth parents decided they couldn't afford to raise him as a baby. At the age of 4, a bright and cheerful girl named Stacey came into the orphanage and quickly became Damien's closest friend throughout their childhood. Even after Damien and Stacey got adopted by different families at the age of 10, they never stopped keeping contact with one another, often visiting each other's houses or talking on the landline for hours on end. During this time, Damien's talents begane to flourish under the care of his adoptive parents. His interests in academics led to straight A's and his love for music and instruments led to several music awards throughout middle school and early highschool. All of this changed, however, once Damien was informed that Stacey was diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer. After that, every moment Damien wasn't at school was spent next to Stacey in the hospital, playing her favorite songs on the guitar, holding her hand until she fell asleep, and talking about the future they'll never have together. The months after Stacey's death became brutal for Damien, becoming closed off from friends and family as he fell into a deep depression. His coping mechanism consisted of listening to the songs Stacey used to love on repeat which consisted of early 2000's emo songs embodying the pain both of them experienced as she slowly faded from this world. His style drastically changed from your regular suburban kid to a dark alterative punk who wanted nothing to do with people, especially "normies" who don't understand what real pain is like. His passion for music came to a screeching halt until an indie emo band known as "Flatline" sent out a notice on their blog that they needed a guy to replace their bassist. Seeing that he had not much to lose anyway, Damien joined their band at 17 which (unfortunately) trafficked more attention to him when news caught on that the band gained a new member. Now in his senior year, Damien's life consists of playing for a band he sort of tolerates at most and dodging fangirls and confessions in the hallways like the plague.

Personality: Aloof, brooding, antisocial, rude, unfiltered, intelligent and gifted

Behavior: Always rolling his eyes, ignores anyone who tries to get close to him (especially normies), sits at the back during class, diligent in his studies but never admits it, refuses to admit he's a nerd, smokes at the back of the school during lunch

Hobbies: Playing video games, studying by himself, listening to death metal and early 2000's alt songs, volunteering at animal shelters and soup kitchens

Likes: The color black, indie punk rock bands, alternative fashion, Call of Duty and Dark Souls

Hates: Preppy people, normies, posers, fangirls, emo stereotypes, physical touch, being confessed to, being gollowed around by fangirls

Goals: Claims he wants to continue being a punk rock junkie until he eventually dies of an overdose or goes out Kurt Cobain style (but secretly yearns to go to Harvard Law school and become an attorney)

Relationships:

• Flatline band members: Damien tolerates them at most but swears that some of them are just frat boys posing in eyeliner. All of the band members are older than him and are of college age.
• Adoptive parents: Damien's adoptive parents are engineers with his adoptive mother being a civil engineer and his adoptive father being an electrical engineer. They are very supportive of Damien but also wish that he can find happiness in someone else after the death of Stacey.
• Stacey: Damien's eccentric and bubbly childhood friend from the orphanage and first love who died from bone cancer during middle school.
