Name: Damien Markwell Age: 21 Gender: Male Profession*: Trainer Appearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/anime%2Bguy/nighttimeskyangel/anime%20guys/anime_guy-1.jpg Not heavily muscled, but not thin as a rail, Damien weighs around the average weight of someone his age. Weighing around one hundred sixty pounds, he knows that he could easily be crushed by most guys his age, as long as they went to a gym of course. He's about five feet and ten inches in height, which is the average height for someone his age, and he's never been the tallest in school before either. Of course he was usually bullied in school for the fact that he always was of an average height, and if he didn't weigh what he should, then it was because he was fat. Things are much better in his eyes when you're average and not fat. His hair is always cut to the same length. Not too short, and not too long, sometimes people say that his hair is kind of shaggy. But he never did care much for what other people had to say about what he looked like. If he did, then he probably would have bleached his hair blonde like his mother really wanted him to. Luckily for him his dad always backed him up and let him keep his hair the way he wanted it; natural. Piercing blue eyes are clearly visible from under the bangs that he keeps out of his face. Girls have always sighed and dreamed about those eyes that were always said to be a crystal clear aqua blue. They seemed to always be lit up with some kind of light, which matched the smile that was usually around as well. Everything about his face could melt most girls and young women, although there were always the few that were mostly jealous that they couldn't have someone like that. A lot of guys beat Damien up because of the fact that he was such a "pretty boy," though he isn't gay in any way. Damien isn't too picky with his clothing. Most of the time he'll usually just wear a t-shirt with a pair of jeans and maybe a light jacket. Usually he wears regular casual sneakers as well. Every once in a while, once is forced to dress nicer, though Damien doesn't get much fancier than a button down shirt and nicer looking jeans along with a pair of black dress shoes. When it gets too hot out for jeans, Damien switches it up with some cargo shorts and will sometimes wear a gray tank top. History: Damien was always treated like an adult, even when he was a child. He was also expected to be able to make decisions as an adult would make, which definitely wasn't very good for him. First of all, he didn't have the mental capacity that he needed for something like that, and second of all, he was constantly put into conflict with any friends he might have had. Since he was always supposed to make his own choices, he did and ended up getting fat from eating all the things one shouldn't eat. Every time he wanted something at the store, he'd spend whatever money he had on it and therefore wasn't very good at saving money. During the year he was twelve, his father started coming home later, and his mother seemed to be in a very bad mood. One night his father came home drunk, cursing at his wife for raising their son to be a good for nothing future disaster. So his mother picked the gun up off of the wall it was hanging on and fired two warning shots... into his head. Well Damien knew that as an adult you weren't supposed to go around killing people, or else the police would have to come take you away. It was only a minute after he called the police that they showed up and started dragging his mother away, who was screaming about how he had it coming. Screams of how he only had himself to blame, and how if they had been there and if they had seen it she knew that they would have done the same. For the next year, Damien lived in an orphanage home, which wasn't very good for him at all, but luckily a couple adopted him shortly before his fourteenth birthday. They showered him with love and care and promised to take care of him. But more importantly, they showed him how to be a kid and have fun, which was great. It took a little while before Damien was actually able to completely shed off the expectations of being an adult, but when he did, he was a great kid. Pokemon were always around in the wild and such of course, but Damien's adoptive parents only had a Skitty as a pet. While Damien loved Pokemon in general, he could barely stand the Skitty, who was obviously jealous after Damien was adopted and kept trying to take all of the attention. Even Damien's adoptive father knew what the cat was doing and threatened to put her into a Pokeball forever if she kept it up. It got better, but it never completely stopped, which is always expected, right? At fifteen years of age, Damien began to steal from stores, just small things, like gum and lighters. However he was caught stealing a soda from a store, and then everything started to unravel. But worse than being in front of a judge was the looks of disappointment from his adoptive parents he got. They promised him that they still loved him and all, but he knew that he had really screwed up and that they lost a lot of trust they had in him. From then on he was constantly supervised, and his freedom was becoming increasingly smaller. Once he had gone months without stealing anything, his parents began trusting him again, and he could go out and do things. Damien still stole, though it wasn't from stores, and it wasn't anything anyone would really miss. Plus he only stole something from somebody once in a great while, when he thought that he would end up finding himself in an act of self combustion if he didn't. This was when he had enough gall to face himself in the mirror and call himself a kleptomaniac. While he still stole even after this, he started leaving something else for the person that he thought they would like more. In a way, he felt that he was doing some good for people, even though it was still obviously morally wrong. One night when he was seventeen, coming home from a school play, he was jumped by a gang who demanded that he give something up. Since he didn't have anything on him, they forced him to lead them to his house, where he was hoping his father would be to help him. When they got there, they gagged Damien and tied him up to a tree and threw a rock through a window with a note on it that told both his mother and father to come out if they wanted to see Damien alive. They immediately came tearing out of the house, and one of the gang members went into the house and set it on fire before coming back out. Another member shot Damien's father while yet another one tried raping his mother, but the cops showed up before he could drop his pants. The gang members started running, and the police had orders from the mayor to kill anyone that was in a gang on the spot. So all of the members ended up dead, and since this was a huge part of the gang, it eventually fell flat. Damien's father recovered fine, but because of Damien's past with stealing, they thought that maybe this was a hazing ritual for Damien to be part of the gang. No matter how much he denied it, they didn't believe him and they sent him to a penitentiary after the judge decided that they were probably right. Those three months in the penitentiary were the worst in all of Damien's life, and when he finally came back home, he couldn't even look his adoptive parents in the eye. When they realized their mistake, they tried apologizing to Damien, but he didn't care what they had to say anymore. Right after he turned eighteen, Damien basically told his parents to screw off and he left them without a look over the shoulder. He has come back to his house now and then just to see how they were doing and what was going on, and they have never been the same. Neither one of them leave the house except to go shopping and go to work, and Damien's mother was fired after her boss determined that she couldn't work properly anymore. The last he knew, his father was probably on the brink of the same thing with the amount that he drank. When he asked neighbors about them, Damien was constantly told how he should go back and make amends with them, as their lives were slowly going down the tubes. Shortly after he turned nineteen, Damien finally walked into the house that he had lived in before, and both of his adoptive parents were stunned to say the least. A lot of tears were shed, and many apologies were given, but it was wonderful for the family to be reunited once more. Only a couple months later, his mother got a new job that had better pay and gave her more freedom. His father had quit his last job and opened up his own shop which was doing very well before Damien left on his journey. Everyone in the neighborhood talked about how the Markwell family was really good for everybody who lived in the area. When he turned twenty one, Damien quit his own job and told his parents that he wanted to try out a career as a Pokemon trainer. They were surprised since he had never shown interest in Pokemon other than pets, and he told them that it was something he had just decided he wanted to do. His parents told him that it wasn't very practical to just get up and leave because he just decided he wanted to do something, but he wouldn't budge from his decision and so they let him go. First they wanted him to wait until they got him his very first Pokemon. Wanting to pick something they thought would suit him well, they went out on their own, but returned with a Mawile, which Damien really liked. And now his journey awaits... Personality*: As said in his history, as a younger child, Damien was forced to be more like an adult than a child. This severely stunted his emotional growth and he used to be a cold and very unlikable kid. Whenever something didn't go his way, he usually did something behind the kid's back that went against what he had wanted, and this would make them an exiled case. Obviously he was very intelligent in order to do this, and was also very secretive. Most teachers would think that he was great in the classroom when he was in fact a little terror. Now, however, he had become a lot nicer and is almost always smiling. He greets people kindly, and does his best to take other people's feelings into account. When he has the compulsion to steal from somebody, he does his best to leave something else behind for them in compensation. If a fight breaks out between two people, he usually doesn't take one side over the other but instead points out the positive in both arguments and can usually help settle the quarrel. Damien has been characterized as warm, gentle, and having a heart of gold. Starting Pokemon: ![]() Starting Town: Nogou Village Poketech Color: Green Other: Has a goal to go back home (in Millenia Town) as a strong trainer. Really wants to be a Pokemon Gym Leader.
