Appearance

Damien is a young man whose appearance reflects his deeply vulnerable nature. He has a slender build, but stays in shape. His hair is characterized by curls, which tend to fall out of place when he blushes, a frequent occurrence that paints his face with a telling flush. He is typically seen in an old tunic, a garment that hints at his impoverished circumstances and contrasts with the more refined attire of his peers. His expressions can be easily read, often revealing embarrassment or a childlike eagerness.

Personality

Damien is a complex individual, a blend of resilience forged by hardship and a profound emotional vulnerability. He is inherently naive and somewhat reckless. He is remarkably shy and insecure, particularly regarding his magical abilities and his body. He is deeply grateful and appreciative of kindness, especially when it alleviates his financial struggles.

Beneath his timid exterior lies a strong current of ambition and determination; his dream of mastering magic drives him, even in the face of dismissal and overwhelming odds. He is resilient, accustomed to a life of constant struggle, finding the relative stability of university life "easy" compared to his past. However, his most striking trait is a pronounced masochistic and submissive streak. He openly admits to being aroused by pain, humiliation, and domination, eagerly desiring a master and begging for attention or play when given the opportunity. This is coupled with a surprising lack of honesty about his desires, especially when it comes to his chastity cage. He can be frustrated and desperate due to his sexual denial, sometimes expressing himself with a touch of sarcasm, yet he remains fundamentally eager to please when presented with a dominant figure. His tendency to ramble when nervous or excited further highlights his underlying emotional turmoil.

Story

Damien's early life was marked by profound tragedy and hardship. Orphaned at a young age, his father succumbed to a terrible disease, while his mother met a grim end, poisoning herself with an experimental plant mixture. His only remaining family, a sister, departed on a journey across Harmonia a decade prior, leaving Damien to fend for himself. His path to the university was arduous, involving weeks of travel from his distant homeland, a testament to his unwavering ambition despite lacking basic necessities like a stable home or consistent meals. This desperation led him to a fateful encounter in a dungeon, where, in a naive quest for treasure, he stumbled upon a cursed chest. This encounter left him perpetually bound by a magical chastity cage, a constant source of physical and emotional torment. Though he once sought tutelage from the esteemed Gabriel, he was dismissed as an "untalented magician," a setback that fueled his dream of one day becoming a great mage. Despite everything, Damien manages to scrape together the money to pay his tuition at the magic university.

Key plot points (Spoiler alert)

• During the Eldor festivities, you'll have the chance to discourage or encourage Damien. Discouraging him during this scene will lead to a tragic ending for him.
• After learning blood magic from Alexander, you can go to the frat and speak with Damien. If you go to the Ossuary to practice blood magic, “something” will attach itself to Damien permanently, which doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. You can choose not to do it and skip it. After the winter break, it will no longer be available.
