I'm still working out everything for his backstory and how he met the Lostman (I was thinking that it might happen during the roleplay, not before it), but this is a rough outline for what I have down so far for this character. If there's anything I need to change to fit with the game, I am more than willing to edit it ^^.
<In the past I've had trouble posting pictures on here and having them show up, when I get my character sheet completely finalized I'll see about adding in a photo for him>
Identity:
Appearance: Standing at a flat 6’0, Damien appears slightly lanky for his height. He has a light beige complexion and dark, umber brown coloured eyes. He straight jetblack hair, but he often dyes it different colours. He is of mixed descent, his father being (presumably) japanese while his mother, Lorena Chattaway, is white. Known for flaunting his appearance, he tends to dress flamboyantly and you could say his fashion is,, avant-garde. He has a narrow nose and defined facial features which have been further accentuated with makeup. The amount of makeup he wears, while abhorrent to his mother, is something he displays more with a sense of pride than shame. He wears a small nose ring and small silver piercings shaped like rings. He often keeps his hair done up and pulled back except for bangs he lets hang out on the left side of his face.
Psyche: Damien can give off the impression of having a markedly carefree and light-hearted attitude. Always ready to find the silver lining in virtually any situation, he has a fondness for humor and optimism. This behavior can also be inappropriate in some situations, however, and can quickly become tiresome among more somber-minded individuals. He is remarkably flexible and adaptable to fitting in with different people and has a gregarious nature about him, flitting about in different social situations and using his charisma to make friends.
Despite his friendliness and laid-back nature, he can also be very criticizing and skeptical towards others. He is merciless when it comes to poking holes in other people's ideas and he isn't shy when it comes to voicing his own opinions. His sharp tongue can often land him in hot water.
To an acquaintance or casual friend, it might be easy to miss the mood swings Damien goes through, but for anyone who has spent a long time around him, it can become readily apparent that Damien has a temperamental nature with oscillating highs and lows. There are periods of time where he acts speckless, cool, and borderline egotistical as he engages in risky behavior. This sort of boldness could be attractive to others at first, but the gross overconfidence he displays even in peril could be downright troubling to others. There are other periods, however, where he becomes morose and seemingly unmotivated to pursue anything. There is a certain mark of apathy and carelessness to his behavior as he lets friends and family, as well as interests and projects, hang on the fence during this period as he stalls and puts everything off.
This can be hard to recognize however because Damien is generally closed off when it comes to having deep, meaningful conversations or having emotionally charged discussions. Usually he isn't making a point to “hide” his feelings, but he can potentially come off as being shallow or detached. As a general rule, Damien cares about the people he’s close to, and most of his actions have good intentions behind them, but he can fail to take into account the consequences of what he does first or look beyond his personal self interest. There is a lack of self-awareness at times that can become a foil and spell disaster for anything he does.
While not necessarily a fear, Damien does have a strong preference of hanging out around other people. Unless he is feeling super apathetic and withdrawn, he tends to experience anxiety and restlessness when completely alone for several hours. While this need for companionship makes him very broad-minded, it also means he has low standards when it comes to friendship.
Background:
Quirks: N/A for now
Relationships:
Haireth Chattaway: Damien’s older half-brother. He has dark auburn hair and often has a calm, if displeased look on his face. He has mellow brown eyes and stands just an inch taller than Damien is. Being two years older, Haireth often feels the need to be the more responsible person whenever he and Damien hang out. Despite not seeing eye-to-eye on a lot of things, they have a pretty tight relationship and grew up pretty close. Haireth has a rigidly traditionalist sort of mind, but his outward attitude is often doggedly marked by a grim pessimism and defeatist mentality which often undermines his goals and relationships. Naturally quieter and more emotionally stable than Damien, he functions as the “rock” of the family and he knows that mom could always count on him, even if all the expectations placed on him wear away at his mental well-being.
Kiyoshi Amagawa: Damien’s best friend and leader of “The Spades”. He appears scrawnier than what most would envision a punk gang leader to look like, but he has a ruthless intellect behind that frail body and a keen memory for details and observation. He and Damien are the same age, but he stands shorter, being only 5’9. He has dyed light blue hair cut in a mop-top fashion. He wears gauges and one earring at the top of his left ear. His eyes are light brown, but they almost appear hazel in certain lighting. They are framed by a pair of half-rectangle shaped glasses. He wears a long black overcoat that tapers down to his ankles and long knee high leather boots, which give him the illusion of being taller. Amagawa and Damien generally get along well, but they’ve also had their share of arguments in the past concerning the nature of The Spades. While he used to trust Damien to make decisions in his absence or confide in him when there were troubles, lately he’s been rather suspicious in regards to what Damien’s been up to lately. Keen and observant, he’s noticed that Damien’s been acting rather distracted and aloof lately. There hasn’t been anything yet that would lead Amagawa to think that Damien would cut ties with The Spades, but he has been concerned about his unusual behavior as of late.
hAha, I’m still thinking about who to put here.
Locations:
I know that these are only rough draft forms and characters haven’t officially been accepted yet, but I could see Damien hanging out around Tenoroshi North Park and Niimura Street. The ideas I was coming up with for locations he would frequent were similar to both of those places as well, so I don’t really want to “copy” or make duplicate locations, if that makes any sense? I can always make new locations though that aren’t directly tied to my character if you still want locations, however ^^.
Anthony’s Bar & Grill: His mother’s place of employment as well as the primary “headquarters” of The Spades after closing hours. (I was thinking that maybe it could be in between the hour walk from Sakura Mansion and Tenoroshi North Park if that’s alright?)
Identity:
- Damien Chattaway
- 17
- Male

- His brother and mom would say that Damien’s “unemployed” but Damien would beg to differ, considering delinquency a full time job.

Background:
- He currently lives with his mother and older half-brother, Haireth, in the equivalent of an apartment duplex located around the slums of Tenoroshi. His mother works at the local Anthony’s Bar & Grill.
- His mother still hasn’t discussed with him about how she and his father met, where he is now, and why they aren’t together. Haireth’s father had separated from his mother shortly after he was born, but Haireth still sees his father occasionally and they are on good terms.
- After witnessing a fight on the streets going on between two teenagers- one obviously bigger and and older than the other- Damien, in an uncharacteristic and definitely-not-impulsive-decision, steps in and intervenes, defending the scrawnier boy from a severe beating. Damien later learned this boy’s name was Kiyoshi Amagawa and that he was the head of a punk biker gang called “The Spades”. This initial contact sparked a longer involvement that Damien got tangled into as he became friends with Amagawa and joined his biker gang.
Damien was fifteen when he joined the biker gang and while he was supportive of the group at first, as time went on and he got older, he found himself repeatedly disgusted by the debauchery and criminal activities a lot of his friends fell into. However, he also knew that he was now an integral part of the group and that Amagawa would undoubtedly feel betrayed if Damien voiced his dissent and left.
