Mental: Damian is a rather intelligent individual who has spent nearly all of his life so far in self-study. As a result of this near constant pursuit of knowledge, he tends to have a very good amount of general knowledge on multiple subjects, and two areas in which he could be considered as a specialist of sorts: Chemistry and Biology. The subject that he had taken the greatest interest in out of the curriculum his mother had drafted for him, they also prove quite useful for his abilities as a shapeshifter. With his knowledge of biology, he can create create entirely new organs inside of his body with remarkable ease. And when mixed with his knowledge of chemical reactions, he can produce some rather interesting effects when he puts his mind to accomplishing something.

Aside from that, Damian is also a very empathetic individual that is always ready and willing to listen to anyone's plight, no matter who they may be. This allows him to better understand people then others in his profession, and assists him greatly in his goal to seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts when everything goes well. Unfortunately, when mixed with his generally naive nature, this can make him rather easy to fool by anyone who can make up a good sob story and take advantage of his kind heart. Even after a year of living in Ominar's underworld, he still refuses to close off his heart to those who could very well be in need of just one act of kindness in there day.

Another dangerous trait of his mentality is that Damian is both pacifistic in nature, as well as a bit of coward due to how much he was coddle before his introduction to the true nature of the world. This leads him to often try his best to avoid and run away from conflict when ever it rears its ugly head, even when it comes at his own expense. Whenever he does choose to engage in a conflict, it's often in order to protect or assist someone near to him who is in danger that they couldn't possible handle or escape from. And even in those situations, he never tries to kill those he faces, and will even try to stop others from doing so depending on the situation. The extreme nature of his moral compass is due to his naive nature and often causes him to get into no small amount of issues. While most would think a year working for Darius would cause his morality to fade, but if anything, the things he's witnessed have seemed to strengthened his resolve in this regard, if only to avoid becoming like some of the others in the kingpin's employ; devoid of any morality and driven solely by their own selfish desires to commit no shortage of terrible things.

Physical:Due to his Nightwalker blood, Damian possess an extreme versatile shapeshifting ability, able to change his form into whatever he so desires with little true limit besides his inability to hide what he truly is from those who can sense his Vis and being careful to keep his soul cores from potentially getting damaged or targeted. This ability to shift his body also feeds into his ability to heal, making him rather durable and very hard to put down for extended periods of time though it isn't impossible, especially due to the weakening of this regenerative factor by his Incubus blood as they are known to be relatively slow healers when compared to their shadowed brethren.



His Inucubus blood doesn't just disadvantage him, however, far from it. While not quite as quick as Incubus may be, Damian still possesses impressive agility and speed. His reaction times and speedy movements, when mixed with the fluidity of his body due to his shapeshifting ability, can make him a very elusive target to hit. This is made even more apparent when taking into account the enhanced senses of a nightwalker, which make it very difficult to catch by surprise if he happens to be on the look out for something.

While lacking the finesse and skill in his control of Vis in order to supercharge a particular sense at the moment, his shadow senses give him the ability to see perfectly in the dark, as well as giving him knowledge of where exactly shadows lie in his surrounding area. On top of this, Damian possess an ability to view the Vis of those around him that works like a mixture of sight and smell, allowing him to identify people by their specific Vis signatures, as well as view those nearby through walls and other obstacles.

A unique aspect of Damian's Vis sense, however, is that his Incubus blood has mixed to enable a secondary sense of sorts that enables the ability to glean slivers of information from a person, making him capable of gaining glimpse their dreams . . . and their nightmares. All the information consists of, however, are brief, sometimes barely coherent flashes of it's contents, never really telling him what the dream is really about, but give the general feel of the dream. This info can be misread, however, if the dream is more complex than Damian is used to dealing with. His main use of this sense is to see when people near him are having bad nightmares so that he can offer them some relief and a good sleep with his dream magic.

As strong as Damian's physical capabilities are, he's definitely not an immortal or unbeatable. While Damian does posses an impressive baseline of abilities and great potential in this front, he is sorely lacking in the skills and mindset necessary to completely capitalize on them. In the times where he must fight, he tends to run through his Vis very quickly through over-use of shapeshifting and his magic to overwhelm his foes, relying on the fact that he often keeps his Nightwalker nature a secret to launch a surprise counter-attack, hoping to deal with his opponents as quickly as possible before they have time to adapt.

The issue with this, however, is that if his initial assault is rebuffed or ineffective (or if the foe already knows of his capabilities before hand) then he can be rather easily taken down by taking advantage of the known weaknesses of Nightwalkers(light/purification-based magics, spells that disperse Vis or hold it in Stasis, and Vis-infused platinum), as well by simply letting him burn himself out. Due to his habit of only feeding in small burst, Damian's vis reserves are often smaller than average, meaning that if his initial onslaught fails, he has very little to fallback when he runs out of Vis to throw around.

Magical/Technological

Dreamwalking: Damian's most unique magical ability is his special brand of Dreamwalking, as it differs drastically from that of normal Incubi, instead more closely resembling the shadow-walk ability of Nightwalkers. Instead of it being a purely mental/spiritual process, the first step in his brand of dreamwalking is to physically enter the dream. This is done by turning into his true form and allowing their form to coalesce around them, a soft, calming glow emanating from the center of the mist before it disperses upon his entering of their dreamscape. The pros to this ability is that it allows him a heightened connection with his target, giving him a better idea generally on how to manipulate their perceptions to achieve a desired effect. Not only that, but he gains a more direct connection to their subconcious mind, enabling him to subtly alter them inside their dream in a way that leads to their dreamselves becoming more willing to listen and accommodate Damian in his request, though they still have the ability to refuse him and/or wake up from the dream should they notice the deception, though most will only have foggy recollections, at best, of the incident upon waking.

Damian's dreamwalking also enhances the range of his dream sense ability, allowing him to perceive the dreams of anyone with in half a mile of his current situation. By sensing out these dreams, making use of the strange state of his body while inside of a person's dreamscape, and borrowing some Vis from the person he's inhabiting, he can near instantly transport to another person's dream without having to slip out of the dream world, though he can only accomplish this about 2 times, maybe 3 if he pushes himself, due to the strain it places on his body. This allows him to very quickly escape from a waking dreamer without having to risk getting caught and/or captured by them.

This is a powerful ability in terms of info-gathering and infiltrations, but not without it's downsides. One such issue being that Damian's wounds from a dream often carry over to his physical body upon exiting, and aren't as easily healed as his body reconstitutes it's self thinking that it's supposed to be like that, not to mention that the shock to his system often prevents immediate shape shifting after exiting a dream while wounded. This ability is also more dangerous and difficult when used against those skilled in the arts of defending their minds from invasion, as they can not only resist and drive him out, but if they are lucid dreamers, then they could trap him in the dreamscape, leaving him at their mercy unless he finds a way to wake them.

Currently, this is the only way that Damian can directly meddle with someone's dream, as his skills at using magic aren't the best, especially in regards to dream and illusion magic.

Vis-Drain & Shadow Magic: Like any Incubus, Damian is able to drain Vis from people through physical contact with them, though his rate of drain is somewhat diminished when compared to that of other Incubi. However, he makes up for this with an added feature of his shadow magic. While Damian has skill in the art of shadow magic like any other nightwalker, his Vis gives rise to an odd effect. Basically, he can drain Vis of multiple targets via contact with his shadow with an amount of drain equivalent to that of his normal Vis drain. This drain can be combined with that of his normal vis drain in order to gain more Vis, though it's something that Damian would likely never do unless pressured to by outside circumstances. This ability works best on foes who are asleep, as his shadows cast a sort of relaxing affect on those they touch, lulling them into a deeper, sounder sleep while he feeds off of them. When used with his Vis and Shadow senses, Damian is able to maximize his feeding without putting himself in danger and minimizing the amount of Vis he needs to take from each individual.

Not only that, but if he's in a good mood, then his shadows often leave the target with more pleasant dreams then when they started, though Damian has no control over how exactly that occurs within the person's dream. And on the other side of the spectrum, if Damian feeds on someone while under some form of duress or while suffering from a bad mood, his shadow will often cause the dream to worsen, resulting most often in rather frightening nightmares.

This ability also comes into some effect when used on a aware target, but tends to be even less effective than usual. This makes banking on the shadow's draining capabilities to keep his Vis up inadvisable, as he'd need a lot of targets in order to make it worth it, not to mention that they'd have to be fine with letting letting his shadows cling to them. In general, Damian's skill with shadow magic is middling. While his range and overall strength is good, allowing him to hold most foes in place if he gets the drop on them, the vis composition within his shadows tends to be rather rratic and unstable, making it easy to disperse them with a sudden impact, such as a punch, an explosion, a sudden burst of Vis, etc. All these things often cause his shadows to instantly break apart, making them rather ineffective weapons and defenses.



Aura: Damian is capable of radiating an aura around his person that, depending on his intention, can have one of two effects on a person. In most instances, his aura works like that of an Incubus' irresistible charm, making it easier for him to get on people's good side, especially with his kind and caring demeanor. However, if he gets greatly stressed or afraid, like in the middle of a fight or while on the run, his aura will twist into that of an aura of fear. THose affected will feel a heightened sense of paranoia while within range of his aura, followed by other, more personal effects that differ from individual to individual, such as slight visual and auditory hallucinations, thoughts turning towards past fears and tragic events that would serve to heighten their sense of fear.
