suspicious • observant • pessimistic • evasive • tired
He often tends to be a little closed off, defensive and nervous, but you know he's comfortable with you once he can scream at your face and not flinch. Usually he means no harm, either you've annoyed him for far too long, or he's looking out for you. Meeting people can be rather difficult for him, & Izzie is usually the one who encourages or forces him to do so.
After having been extensively suspicious, once Damon feels confident that the person in question is genuinely being kind, he'll often have a very difficult time not getting attached. Alternatively, once he gets to know jerks, they recieve silence, passing glares, snide remarks, and, occasionally, face oddly inconvenient occurrences that may or may not be related to him..
Damon can be very elusive when he wants to be, and is talented with defensive-combat + managing technology. He thinks Izzie is pretty pathetic, so he's decided to try and help her with her combat ability. In regards to himself though, he'd rather evade an enemy rather than confront them.
traits
Easily offended: what are you looking at??
Quiet? Loud?: unless prompted to speak, quiet most of the time, but its 50/50 whether he'll retaliate to insults with screaming or disapproving glares.
Paranoid: person he's seen in public multiple times? stalking him? food, gifted by a someone he's only known for weeks? poison? reasonable thoughts.
Sleep deprived: one can't always tell, but he's conserving what little energy he has. his paranoia really doesn't help him preserve it.
likes
Code-work: one day, can numbers do his bidding so that he doesn't have to do anything anymore? other than sleep.
Flora: one of the first things he saw when leaving his planet was a seemingly endless field of flowers, just as incalculable as the stars.
Sugar: can you cope through tiredness with sugar? probably not very well, but he'll try. prefers Mex. sweet breads, like conchas.
Card games: he wouldn't really want to play cards with strangers... but he might consider it.
Babysitting: his brother took good care of him, and he wants to take care of others. Even if they're just as unruly as he was, he'll endure.
dislikes
The tall: scary. maybe he would like tall people more if he was also tall. but that's not the reality he's living in.
Lying: voice gets really pitchy and cracks under pressure, so he's really bad at telling effective lies... that means you're not allowed to do it either.
Being stared at: as much as he understands that people think he looks weird, he'd prefer if they didn't make him so aware of it.
Sand: worst natural resource that is often found in the sun-induced-death zones.
Being thanked: alright? he gave you a little gift, be quiet or it'll be a secret next time.
skills
Combat: he's a reactive fighter, focusing on deflections and parries to compensate for his smaller stature. which seems to be working so far, given that he's alive.
Codework: make the machine move, and use your killers against themselves.
Thievery: Izzie and Weis told him not to steal anymore, and he plans not to... but, if they're not there for him anymore, and he has to? he will.
Cooking: he's not that good at this yet, but Izzie is teaching him.
