Personality

Damien is as mysterious as he is upfront - he hides his true emotions from those around him, but never hesitates to share his thoughts. He doesn’t mince words or sugarcoat things, and he tends to take everything at face value and never pry deeper. Privacy is important to him, and he makes that known in how he both treats others and expects himself to be treated. He doesn’t like sharing much about his personal life, but is easily lulled into opening up a bit more than usual if someone asks a thoughtful enough question. At times, he almost seems to contradict himself, saying one thing and then doing the opposite, or changing his mind much quicker than most people would. It’s just that he’s open to change and learning and growth - it’s extremely difficult for him, but he knows it’s important. It takes time for him to really get the hang of it, though.

Honestly, Damien is just very neutral on everything. He only has truly strong opinions on a few things, but he’s not afraid to make those opinions known when he deems it necessary (even if nobody else wants him to). He doesn’t spend much time worrying about what others think about him, and likewise, he doesn’t make his thoughts on anyone else public, either. This does lead to him sometimes holding valuable insight from the others, especially when it comes to anything he may have observed that nobody else has, but he doesn’t do it out of ill will. His naturally observant and sometimes inquisitive nature lets him notice things that others wouldn’t, but just like with his opinions on other people, he’s usually hesitant to share these things with anyone other than his partner. Instead, he prefers to keep it to himself for a bit until he figures out if it connects to a bigger picture - if so, he’ll bring it up and let everyone else figure out what to do with it.

Damien doesn’t like getting too closely attached to others simply because he thinks it too much work on both their ends. He has to open up, they have to open up, they both have to get to know each other… He’s not exactly opposed to making friends - it’s just not on his top priority list. Therefore, he’s often confused whenever someone else tries to make the effort to be friends, but if they go out of their way to try, the least he can do is humor them. Combined with his whole “don’t ask don’t tell” mentality, though, it’s not easy for him to be on either the giving or receiving end of deeply personal information, which can make him seem emotionally detached. He sort of is, but not intentionally, and at least he’s aware of it? It doesn’t stop others from thinking he’s sort of cold, though - but, again, it’s not like he cares. At least he makes an effort… sometimes.

About

Damien has always been close to his twin sister Moxie, and, being 17 minutes older than her, loves giving her shit for being a “youngster” and not knowing how things were “back in his day”. Where she makes up for his unpleasantness in her abundance of kindness, he makes up for her worries in his total lack of such. They parallel and complement each other entirely, to the point where strangers will sometimes assume they’re not related at all, and that assumption has only become more common as they’ve aged. Their parents would joke about it often, too, sometimes claiming that they were both adopted from different families and it’s just a coincidence they look alike.

These days, Damien and Moxie live in the Digital World with their partners. They have no desire to return home, for a multitude of reasons that none of them, especially Damien, are keen to share. Even if they did want to go back to their world, they wouldn’t be able to - for some reason, the connection option on their digivices has disappeared entirely, and try as they might, they can’t open a gate back home. It doesn’t matter, though. They’re not going to go back.
