Character: Damen


There was once a time where my birthday was on 6th of June 2006...the taboo number of 666 encouraged film makers and modern story tellers to talk about a peculiar character named Damen. He was said to have been borne on the particular date....as the Omen. A devil born in human society, brought up among us, to destroy us.

The story was intriguing in many ways. And I would never forget that name. Damen.

Though stories would remain stories. In my head, I too see Damen as feared and unpredictable. Secretive and worriedly over defensive, he may not be the best candidate for making a friend. But as the story continues, I knew immediately he was misunderstood.

Brought up by his father in a fairly wealthy and up-tight family scaled life. As he grew up he saw that his father's ways weren't always right...some even cruel. He had never known his mother and had been told since birth that his mother was an evil woman with no understanding of the greatness Damen had. Damen was told time and again, that he would succeed his father.

But Damen was restless with the idea to be living empty, using and stealing from poor people was not his way of bargain. Then he found out who his mother really was, and discovered all the lies of his father. Especially the fact that his mother was left to insanity by his own doing. He blamed his own birth and turned rebel towards his father.

As his father was a strong force in Damen's own community he couldn't completely run away from his plans and minions. With a forced agreement Damen agreed to attend a training academy. Where no one knew of his background. And his own father was to never speak of him.

In the beginning he is seen as an unfriendly, secretive and dark character. But after his friendship with the twins.... his charismatic, loyal and concerned side unraveled.

He is a very private character, a man of few words, but decisive in his decisions and his actions. I foresee a great bond of friendship and usefulness between him and the twins. As their anchor. Their steady support and in some ways the one who changes the course of the destiny fated for both himself and the twins.

"Beware of the two Hidden's, whom only set out to destroy you. Destiny tales of the one eye and their creatures behind the wall. The End is like two fingers together."

Do you have someone who changes your presumed destiny?
