Hello, all. As I did before with Adrian, I’ll be a character breakdown here, with a certain close companion of his. So, without further ado…
***********************************************************************************************************
This member of the cast is named Damian. Damian is a dragon, measuring at a height of 5’6’’. He is 25 years old. Damian's head is smooth and elongated, with a curved end going backwards. Damian’s physique, like many of my characters, is very muscular and robust, this one carrying a chiseled six-pack and massive pecs, and a very thick tail. The tail, by far, is the strongest muscle of Damian’s body. He can lift 1000-1500 lbs with it when he focuses on it. Damian’s body colors are black and blue. The front of Damian’s body - his forearms, torso, chest, the front of his legs, and his face, are all colored a deep black. The rest of Damian’s body is colored blue. His eyes are also colored blue. His attire is often a pair of tight fitting blue sweatpants.
To introduce Damian’s persona, the core traits to it are his confidence and charisma. Determined, brave and proud, Damian’s a hard worker with a drive as big as his muscles. He’s no stranger to getting his hands dirty if it means fulfilling his goals. He also naturally inspires strength and joy in those he interacts with, seeming as if he naturally attracts others to him. Damian’s next biggest aspect is his sense of honesty. Damian’s incapable of telling lies, and always keeps his words and thoughts unfiltered. Anything Damian says, he means, whether it be kind or harsh. To that end, Damian’s also a naturally snarky individual, not being one to mince his words or hold back his thoughts.
While Damian is someone who can be counted on, his persona isn’t perfect. For one thing, Damian’s remarkably blunt, and he can often lack tact when speaking to others. He feels that neither he nor those around him should have to restrain their feelings, so he doesn’t restrain his words. As such, Damian won’t hesitate to knock someone down a peg if they bother him. Damian’s determination makes him resilient, but it can also make him stubborn. Additionally, with the strength he possesses, he finds it difficult to be gentle, and struggles to keep from being too forceful.
Regardless, Damian is a highly compassionate and empathetic individual. Despite being openly proud of his strength and what he can do, Damian is surprisingly humble at the same time. No matter how strong he grows, he always believes that he can push further, and as such, isn’t one to rest on his laurels. He likewise tries to encourage those he befriends or connects with to do the same. When it comes to solving problems or helping others, Damian often tries to seek simple solutions, preferring to be simple, but practical. Finally, while he can be boisterous, he’s hard to agitate, but won’t hesitate to defend himself or his friends.
Now, as to his origins? Damian was born in the Central District of Scaltus City, near the wooded forest contained within it. Damian’s father is an actual bodybuilder/athlete, as well as an avid outdoorsman. As such, Damian was raised from the start to grow strong and fit. Living adjacent to the woods, the young dragon was instilled from the start with a powerful love of nature and the outdoors. When he was 10, during a camping trip with his family, Damian’s father told him how he had to learn for himself what it was like for him to have freedom, and to always hold onto it.
As for the answer to what would be, Damian would get his first real exploration of that when he became 12. One day, while he was working out in a nature park in the city with a lot of older men, he saw a certain black Rex approaching. He appeared confused, overwhelmed, even scared…and then, he collapsed, right before Damian’s eyes. Being the first to see him, Damian helped this fellow reptile to safety. The young dragon, after getting more help, stuck around and watched over him, waiting for him to wake up. When he awoke, the young Rex introduced himself as Adrian.
Damian, in turn introduced himself to him, asking why he’d have fallen over that way. Adrian explained how he lived in the hospital, and that this was his first time going outside of it. Damian was shocked, and the shock only grew as Adrian told him of his body’s weakness and damages. Damian wasn’t given much time to process the story with him, though, as when Adrian finished, his parents came along to take their son home. Before he left, however, Adrian asked Damian if he could visit him in the hospital - he did help him, after all. Taking a minute to ponder the request, the words his father gave him about his freedom flashed back in his head. At the same time, hearing Adrian’s story, he realized that Adrian didn’t have much freedom himself. Making up his mind, Damian agreed.
With that, Damian became Adrian’s first friend from the outside world. He came to spend a lot of time with him, educating him on Scaltus’ bodybuilding culture, which would inspire Adrian to desire beginning to exercise himself. When Damian had turned 14, Adrian had recovered enough to go live in a normal home, with his family. It was then that his new friend asked Damian to begin training him. Damian wasn’t too keen on being a mentor, but after being practically begged to by Adrian, the older dragon agreed. The two became best friends, Damian acting not just as a trainer for Adrian, but also as a guide for him in the city, to start learning to take care of himself.
Then, when Damian was 17, while he was relaxing in a spa, he happened to meet a certain new reptile, a purple-and-yellow velociraptor, with a gold ring on each hand, napping in the sun. The following year, as he was walking out the library with Adrian, he and his best friend were met by another new face: Evan. Evan was a talent scout for the local “Rippling Scales” gym, and came to recruit Damian and Adrian for it. Accepting the offer, Damian ended up meeting the raptor he had seen in the spa before. Learning that his name was Dustin, Damian…didn’t exactly have the best kind of relationship with him.
Considering their personalities, Damian being blunt and direct and Dustin being smug, vain, and…not traditionally communicative, the two had a rocky start. Damian saw Dustin as just an arrogant prima donna, and conversely, Dustin saw Damian as a simple meathead. Before long however, Damian actually found himself competing with this new reptile in exercising. Damian actually became the first person Dustin ever truly argued with. One year into their time knowing one another, the two’s relationship started to change. Damian recognized how, while he wouldn’t admit it, Dustin actually envied him for how he seemed to make friends easily compared to the loner raptor. Calling him out on it, Dustin admitted his envy and how thought Damian to be a hard worker. Damian reciprocated this, admitting that he thought of Dustin as being intelligent and, unlike him, an actually gentle person, something that greatly surprised Dustin.
Over the following year, having admitted respect for one another, Damian slowly grew more comfortable with one another, eventually forming a full-fledged friendship. Damian became an inspiration to Dustin, just as he had to Adrian. He pushed Dustin to maximize his efforts in bodybuilding, to give his body the same level of effort he devoted to his brains and his art, resulting in Dustin having the hunky physique he has today, as well as to make more of an effort to approach others. In response, Dustin helped Damian to begin learning how to become gentler and more composed, even with his strength. 
The younger dragon became the raptor’s best friend in the present, the two affectionately calling one another “diva” and “brute” respectively often. As Damian’s gentler side began to grow, he began considering the idea of love in his life. Specifically, towards Adrian, whom Damian had recognized he had grown quite close to over the years. By the time he was 23, Damian had given Adrian his first time having sex. He then asked if Adrian wanted to date him, but the younger Rex declined, saying that he just saw Damian as a friend. Not long after this, when Adrian tried to get along with Dustin, displaying signs of becoming entitled, Damian strongly rejected this, pointing out to his close friend how he wasn’t entitled to anyone’s favor - he had to earn it, just as he had to work and earn his strong body in the present.
Moving forward to the present, Damian earns money for himself as a personal trainer. Damian’s focus is to refine the exercise routines of others, helping those who hire him to find their flaws, recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and adapt accordingly. When Adrian decides to start working towards the same, starting with a dragon his age named Honey, Damian would be there to help advise and guide him along. For his role amongst his friends, Damian can be seen as a guardian, being amongst the oldest and strongest of them. He’s also recognized as being quite good at diffusing arguments between his friends, usually by letting his strength do the talking for him.
Damian’s favorite pastimes, beyond his exercising, include doing parkour, gardening, and meditating. Though, when it comes to working out, his favorite exercises are pull-ups and squats, and doing curls with his big thick tail. His favorite things to eat are fruits, particularly oranges and peaches, and barbecue, especially ribs. He also loves cheeseburgers, too, just not as much as Adrian, and is legitimately surprised by how far his craving for them goes. While he likes sweets, he’ll only really have them on occasion, his most favorite being mango and caramel ice cream and his least favorite being dark chocolate. His favorite thing to drink is milkshakes, especially vanilla and chocolate ones.
Finally, regarding sexual manners, Damian identifies as bisexual, although he leans more towards enjoying men rather than women. Damian is dominant-leaning, but can become more submissive around people he’s grown close to. Even so, he’ll only get it on with someone if they allow him to, feeling that everyone’s body and what they do with it is up to them. His favorite method for sex is to pump partners while he's standing up, as it gives him a chance to wrap his big arms and tail around them and hold them nice and tight, keeping them warm as he enjoys their sweet bodies, especially doing anal. His favorite service places are his arms, his tail, and his abs.
