Damion Battosai

Damion Battosai is a main character in the "Re:" series, played by Aurek Czarny. He was the one who wrote the book detailing his involvement during The Path Conflicts. He was also the first Lord of Darkness.

Background
In the middle of the Chaos War, Damion was born to Haste Battosai and Allura Battosai. Damion was also the first Vampire to gain the Element of Darkness, which made him and his brother the "black sheep". Near the end of the war, Damion secretly worked with Kuro Neele (whom was the King of the Demons at the time) to end the war without anymore bloodshed. This resulted in a concentrated spell which sealed Haste inside the Black Mountains for thousands of years.

Personality
Born under the suffocating influence of his father, Damion was on the way to becoming the next Overlord, he was saved by the presence of his loving mother, Allura. He was raised to be a kind and loving person, despite his heritage, which evolved and grew throughout his life, peaking at the perfect family man to his sons and wife.

As a Lord, Damion was the picture of confidence, both in public appearance and in battle. He was a calm and rational man, and one of the few who stayed calm under extreme pressure, even battle.

His relationship with Arikado was powerful, as both would confide their feelings when the time called for it. The same was with Izar Neele, who was his former student but rapidly matured because of the Conflicts, and Damion now trusts him completely and thinks of him as a slightly-younger brother, whom he has to protect and heal.

The issues with his father are nowhere as severe as his brother's, but he continued to hold an equal amount of love and hate towards him. When the time came to seal Haste away, he couldn't help but feel relief, but sadness prevailed through the years that he was forced to go that far. This would remain until his father broke free of his prison on Damion's wedding day, where Haste admitted his weaknesses, fears, and failures and passed away with Allura's spirit.

Damion has mated with three women in the past, all of whom he was love with. Malice Nightshade, who was commissioned as his guardian at first, but fell in love. But due to his constant, unexplained disappearances, Malice grew close to Izar, and soon had an affair that Damion didn't know about until he returned home. But, upon discovering this, he wasn't angry. In fact, he understood; it was stupid to leave unannounced, and wished both of them the best.

His second mate was a woman named Rune. Surprisingly, he felt much more strongly about her than he did about Malice, and this would prove true in his next mate. When both of them confessed their feelings, they conceived a child later that night Damion was prepared to propose to her. When Rune and Malice fled the city, presumably because of the threats that The Path made against them, he instead anger towards the enemy and shut himself off towards everything, and in response forging the Dark Rose Chaser.

For a long time since then, he was never sure of himself, and even entrusted Arikado to lead the people, feeling as if he wasn't good enough to lead anyone. This changed when Energy invaded Earth and attempted to kill his brother. Summoning his sword, he discarded the rose on his blade, signifying that he had moved on from Rune's death. His strength and courage returned tenfold, and knew that he couldn't allow anything to happen to the city and the ones he loved.

After the attack of Energy's was repelled, peace returned to the city and allowed him to focus on the people close to him. During this, he discovered the deep feelings that his close friend and comrade, Lillith von Ulf, kept secret. Feeling the familiar sensation in his chest, he fell in love with her quickly.

Appearance
Damion's appearance has changed dramatically over the decades. Originally, he wore a plethora of red clothes to coordinate the color of his long, crimson hair and eyes that came from his father. Before and after his father away, he very briefly wore a combination of a long robe with a black outer layer and red lining, and bandages that were wrapped around his torso and right, usually soaked in his own blood (from the training with his brother).

Then, after becoming the Lord of Darkness, his hair greatly darkened into pitch black, and his eye color shifted to a bright golden. Also, the Mark of Darkness was present on the back of his right shoulder, branching down to his right arm (and even further when in his Descended Forms). For quite some time (until he fell into a coma), he wore a loose black dress shirt and pants, and a very long necklace (adorned with a black cross) that he wrapped around his neck several times, paying silent homage to his father, who wore various chokers around his neck at the same time. He then grew his hair out, which fell to his waist for a long while.

After waking up from the coma that immobilized him for two years, his wife had continuously cut his hair to his ear and back of his neck. He then began to wear completely black, closed up attire, but still wore the black cross, albeit shorter. Also new was the white mark that laid on the very base of his spine, which was where the Mark of Enlightened Time rested, and constantly fought with the Mark of Darkness.

Abilities
From a young age, Damion has been able to control Darkness with a fair amount of control, and was mainly formed as waves of black that protected him. It wasn't until he sealed away his father that his powers jumped significantly, after becoming the Lord of Darkness.

In addition to powerful Darkness spells, he is an adept swordsman and physical fighter, but prefers to use his magick and Descension Forms. While he never places his sword on his person, Damion has the power to summon Dark Chaser through a specialized portal that his brother constructed for him.

Dark Damion
The first of his transformations is Dark Damion, in which his physical speed and strength are doubled, as well as magick attack originating from the mouth, at the cost of intelligence. His flesh automatically grows bruises and obtains cuts from the intense muscle upgrade. Miniature wings then sprout from his head and back (which remain permanently), and his eyes become blank and fully white, turning entirely feral. The Mark of Darkness then spreads over his chest and neck, though it stops just at his jaw. He loses control of himself, attacking the first person he sees (usually an enemy) before turning upon anyone else, as he cannot differentiate friend or foe, resembling a Base Vampire. Additionally, he is forced to speak in pure Delusian, and attempting to speak English wrecks his throat.

Pitch Damion
Upon changing into Pitch Damion, he becomes taller and his skin darkens to a light indigo, and grows crystalline-black, serpentine horns on his forehead. Damion's ears enlarge and curve into a point, and his eyes narrow, yet retains the whiteness of his earlier form. The Mark spreads further, branching around his head and focusing on the center of his forehead, and reaches his other arm. His power and agility are increased sixfold, all the while retaining his intelligence, and even raising it.
 * Pitch Chaser: An upgraded version of the Dark Chaser, this blade is used instead of brute force, showing excellent swordsmanship with it despite only having a short amount of time in using it.
 * Tactical Intelligence: As his intelligence was extended, Damion is able to form complete and smart strategies in defeating opponents, and never loses his collected calm.
 * Death's Grasp: Damion thrusts out a hand, enshrouding his target in Darkness before it hardens and shatters, piercing the foe with shards of darkness.
 * Dragon of Infinite Darkness: Using all but a few specks of his power, he summons a gigantic dragon from his own being, opening a portal from his soul to the material world. He then fuses with the dragon's spirit and runs his opponent through. This attack forces Damion back to normal with very little energy left.

Depraved Damion
A form of utter last resort, Depraved Damion grants him the whole of Lord Dakol's power skyrocketing his abilities to unknown heights. Damion's skin grows pale to dangerous degrees and gains a glowing red color to his eyes. His hair grew to his waist and his hands were soaked with - presumably - Dakol's blood, fingers becoming sharp as his skin hardens to the strength of diamonds. He dons a black chest-guard that rises up to his lower jaw, and along with his black pants, gains a light red sash that bears the symbol of Darkness. In this form, he was able to kill Xenos, The Path's ultimate Wraith.

However, initiating this transformation deprives Damion of his title and power, weakening him significantly after, with no way to become stronger. It is unknown if this form had a weapon with it, as Damion never needed one.
 * Speed of Light: Damion's agility and speed increases to such that he can move without actually being seen, leaving a real-looking afterimage in his place, and leaves no hint of where he might appear next.
 * Heightened Intelligence: While he is in this form, he can access Dakol's memories and intelligence, allowing him to almost-instantaneously find the weakness of his opponent.
 * Giver's End: He is able to summon a remnant of Dakol's appearance, which ca easily pierce any substance or material, and can erupt any organs it comes in close contact with. While doing this, he can "sentence" his enemy as he pleases: in the case of the Xenos, he condemned him to "an eternity of immobility", enhancing his victim's age enough so that they disintegrate into dust, banishing them into the Great Beyond.

Summoning the Archangel
After obtaining the Mark of Enlightened Time and enduring a two-year coma, Damion was able to summon the Archangel, using both the power of Darkness and Light to call on the Angel at anytime.
