Damien

Damien is the son of a human mother and death god-demon father, however he is not aware of his demonic bloodline since his father disappeared when he was quite young and his mother was presumed dead when he was still a child. In his early life, he was quiet and he felt like he didn't fit in but his mother continuously supported and encouraged him to keep trying. He endured a bit of bullying but eventually found the strength to defend for the sake of others. Since then he became quite outgoing and confident, though a part of him is still introverted.

His mother once also told him that butterflies are an important symbol to their family because it represents the soul and hope. He promised to release butterflies if he were to ever lose her, as it is their family tradition to help send off the departed. He hoped he wouldn't have to do it any time soon but sadly died before he reached middle school. Although they never found her body, she was assumed dead due to the evidence found at the scene. He kept his promise and still carries the butterfly charm she gave him. Upon her passing he inherited a key, a large tome full of supernatural lore and his mother's journals also filled with paranormal information and spells. Damien didn't believe in the supernatural at the time and simply believed his family were writers who loved fantasy. His uncle arranged and attended the funeral but seemed distant and left the next day without any explanation.

Having no other close or known next of kin, Damien went into foster care for about a year or two before his uncle suddenly returned to take custody. He couldn't understand why his uncle left at first and was quite angry about it. His uncle simply told him, "Go ahead and be mad, kid. All I got to say is I couldn't take you with me because I had loose ends to tie and things to sort." Damien spent the next few years living with his uncle. He was a bit wild and reckless in his teens and got told off plenty of times for the trouble he caused or got into. Though they disagree and bicker sometimes, they are still close. They may not be father and son biologically but Damien still considers the man who raised him to be his father.

In present time, Damien is studying criminology and working towards becoming an investigator to help solve cases though he also hopes to help prevent it from happening to begin with. He wishes to travel far and wide uncovering mysteries as well as the ones about his family and himself. He doesn't realise it yet but the seal his mother placed on him since birth has weakened as this particular seal's power fades after the caster has passed. He will get spontaneous headaches and nosebleeds because his powers are beginning to surface however they only seem to be usable when they are needed most.

Every year on his birthday he receives a large sum of money from an anonymous sender. Initially he thought it was from his uncle however he claims he has no idea who sent it but they don't seem to pose any harm. Damien is hesitant to use this money unless absolutely necessary since he wants to find the sender and thank them personally. Incidentally, he also sees flowers at his mother's grave every anniversary of her death as well as her birthday and special occasions but he's never been able to find out who.

He has a huge fascination for mysteries and as time went on he continued to read through everything his family wrote and began to question his belief on the supernatural. He started gathering more information and investigating unsolved crimes and cases, some of which have so few clues they became urban legends. He will occasionally get in trouble with the police for meddling but he can't help himself since he wants to find the truth. One of his goals is to find his biological father, whether he is dead or alive, he still wants to know who he really was and deep down he has a feeling his father is still alive.
