Physical Description: Damien has short hair, cropped in a military style. It looks to be a dirty blond, when it’s really brown, but sometimes it’s too short to tell. His eyes are a hazy green, leaning more towards the hazel side.

He stands at a tall 5’ 9” and it’s almost six feet but not quite. From regular workouts and his exhausting hours of dedication to sports, Damien has a well defined muscular structure. He has a normal skin complexion, basically a well rounded tan. His skin gets paler in the winter months, but for the most part its tan.

He favors jeans over his school uniform, but complies to it because he can’t break the rules every day. His favorite kind of shirt is a plain cotton t-shirt that he can feel comfortable in.

Personality Description: Damien is an easy-going guy, he likes to be laid back and he likes to relax and drift away from the problems of real life. He doesn’t get too stressed easily, probably due to the fact that his organizational skills are quite handy when it comes to outlining and finishing schoolwork and other necessities on time.

One of his main weaknesses is his need to be adrenaline fueled; he likes to do daring things often. It ranges from skinny dipping in the lake, to pulling pranks on his fellow classmates, to doing something stupid that will inevitably get him in trouble.

He cares deeply for his friends and is as loyal as a puppy dog; he would gladly stand up for any one of his buddies in any situation. His bravery goes a long way, and his friends have come to know him as easy-going, yet serious at the same time.

Even though it’s a weird mixture, somehow his personality just works. Serious, and yet carefree. It all depends on what kind of day you catch him on, and whether it’s a good day or a bad day.

History: Damien was born in Boston, Massachusetts to a loving stay-at-home mother and a military father. His dad wasn’t present for most of his childhood, often being summoned away on another mission overseas or some detail that had to be completed. Being an only child, Damien captivated his mom’s attention almost 24/7. Growing up, she was his best friend, he told her everything that went on in life and everything that happened from day to day.

He started out elementary school, but weird things were happening almost every day as he got older. It eventually took the confidence of a relative to tell Damien’s mother that something was obviously going on. Days later, a surprise visit from a mysterious man revealed everything. Damien was magical.

At first, his mom was skeptical of everything she was being told. Her husband was in the middle of a desert, her child was being picked on relentlessly; and here was a man telling her that her kid was magical. But the days wore on and even dear old mom couldn’t deny that something was up with Damien.

His invitation to Salem called for nothing less than an all out celebration, a trip to go shopping for school uniforms, a wand, and ingredients for the best cake that would ever be baked in the Reynolds household. Damien and his mom held a mini party, just the two of them, with multiple servings of confetti cake and a James Bond marathon. Damien still regards this night as the best one of his life.

School started, and it seemed to move by even faster than Damien expected. He met his expectations, set goals for himself, and seemed to be destined to rank quite highly in his class. And all of his hard work payed off when he got the opportunity to partake in the tournament. His enthusiasm was great, and he just wanted to leave and get to Hogwarts as soon as he possibly could.

Why Was The Student Allowed/Permitted To Attend The Tournament?: Damien's grades were nothing short of exceptional, his mother and father had taught him that hard work came with rewards and he had always wanted to do his best.

Also, he is a fast learner when it comes to memorizing spells and charms, and he has a hand for defensive and offensive spells. His strength and determination made him stand out when they were choosing people to bring to the tournament.

Sum up your character in one paragraph: Damien is a determined and head-strong sixteen year old. He finds the tournament fascinating and the opportunity to meet new people makes it all the better. While spells come easily to him, potions does not and he found that certain classes make him quite impatient. Overall, he's a great friend and loyal until the end.
