Damon Nightingale
[/size]Name: Damon Nightingale
Age: 25 years
Mother: Lynne Nightingale - deceased
Father: Alex Nightingale - murdered
Siblings: He is the oldest of two siblings. Michelle is his younger sister who is also living in Eden Town but he doesn't know it yet.
Physical Description: Damon has pitch black hair that is medium length. He has grey blue eyes that have a piercing appearance and seem to stare right into one’s soul. He is built rather averagely and has some muscle tone but he isn’t as ripped as some of the guys on here. He has a tattoo of an eye on his right wrist and writing on his left arm.
His style is unique to himself and most of the time he's wearing black. He loves his black leather jacket as well as his black leather boots. He has a few piercings in his ears and he has a tongue ring. Damon often wears black, expensive clothing. He seems to favor black leather riding boots as footwear, black jeans, a black belt, black sweater and a black leather jacket. Although, he has been seen to wear white T-shirts with a black leather jacket. Like his brother Stefan, Damon wears a large silver Lapis Lazuli ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
Personality: Damon is a very strong anarchist and doesn't like playing by the rules. He is darkly handsome, strong, charming and can go from casual and playful to pure evil in less than a heartbeat. He has a lustful, seductive and compelling aura and a very dominant, strong and commanding appearance. Because of Damon's Adonis good looks and compelling, dominant and commanding physical appearance, Damon has a huge ego and has a constant ongoing tendency to be rather vain, arrogant and proud. He is frequently described to be hauntingly beautiful, handsome and drop dead gorgeous by many different women. Damon has perfect, refined facial features and a rather strong, angular and masculine bone structure, including remarkably high cheekbones and a masculine jaw-line and chin.
Furthermore Damon is sinister, dangerous, generally unkind, uncaring, cold hearted, ruthless and unsympathetic. He is an extremely vain, selfish, proud and self absorbed individual and he generally shows an uncaring attitude towards others. Damon uses whatever and whoever he can to get what he wants; not caring about who he hurts in the process. Because of his highly vain and selfish personality, Damon often resorts to either the use of manipulation, threats, or direct coercion or force in order to get his own way. However, when Damon does not get his way, he resorts to extreme reactions of anger, envy/jealousy, vengeful and intimidation. He generally acts flippant, arrogant, and constantly plays word games, especially when it comes to dancing around an issue, and even more especially when that issue involves his real, true feelings or his intentions on or about a serious subject. He is also highly prone to extreme jealousy/envy, possessiveness, obsession, chauvinism and egoistic tendencies when it comes to the opposite sex.
History: During his life, it appeared that Damon was always in the shadows of his younger brother Stefan and because of it, there was always a lot of jealousy towards Stefan on Damon's part due to the constant favoritism towards Stefan by many people, including their father Giuseppe and even his former lover, Katherine von Swarzschild. It was also apparent that Damon didn't care much for his family, his home life and he never cared about responsibilities or ambitions whatsoever. Damon never took his academics, studies or school seriously and he was never a scholarly, academic individual by any means. In fact, instead of focusing on his ambitions like his brother Stefan, Damon was more interested in his unconventional hobbies such as gambling, fighting, womanizing, and hunting and hawking. Damon had never gotten along with his father, Giuseppe and he would always get into serious, intense and heated arguments and fights (mostly verbal and physical).
Damon has intensely hated his younger brother Stefan since childhood for various unknown reasons, but the main reason Damon really hates Stefan and has hated Stefan for all of his life is quite clear. Damon was very close to their mother who had died tragically when Damon was a very young human boy a few years after Stefan was born, when Stefan was just a very young infant. Damon's (and Stefan's) mother died because of her giving birth to Stefan had caused her to become extremely weak, vulnerable, sickly and fragile physically and health wise. Stefan believes that because of the death of their mother due to her giving birth to him is where the initial hatred Damon has had for Stefan since childhood had came from. This has caused Stefan to feel extremely guilty because of it, although this was something that happened beyond Stefan's control. Aside from the tragedy of losing his mother as a young boy, Damon has also faced many, various issues of abandonment and abuse (physical, emotional and mental) caused by his father, Giuseppe. Their father used to abuse, hit and physically torment Damon, and Damon and their father used to get into vicious, violent and stormy fights, mostly physical in nature. Most of the time during Giuseppe and Damon's fights, Giuseppe always happened to be intensely drunk and he would take out his anger and frustrations on Damon—most of the abusive behavior towards Damon stemmed and became significantly worse after Giuseppe's wife had died. Giuseppe's wife's death had also caused Damon's father to resort to severe alcoholism.
The moment Damon was able he left his home and his family, glad to be rid of them and set off in search of a new life...
