Personality
Brooding
His rough upbringing has led to him being more of the quiet brooding type. Preferring to spend a lot of his time by himself thinking about building ships, a certain princess or life in general.
Protective
The few people he loves know that he would run through a wall for them. Some would call him a bit of a worry wart, always having his friends wellbeing on his mind, but he prefers to just call himself protective.
Dry
Damon has an incredibly dry sense of humour, often landing one liners when people least expect it and with a lack of emotion. Sarcasm, dry jokes and eye rolls make up a large portion of his personal interactions.
Rage
There are a few times when Damon is consumed by rage but they are few and far between. It only happens when someone he loves is in danger. That's when he sees red and things go south from there.
Unnaturally Kind
His kindness knows no bounds. Damon cannot help himself if someone needs help he always has to help them. It's a trait that endears him to others but could also get him into some unfortunate and uncomfortable situations.
Appearance
Damon stands taller then most people he meets. Some would call him an imposing fellow, tall, covered in corded muscle from years of working on ships and long black hair. His hair is down to his shoulders and is usually kept in check with a headband to keep it out of his face. Between his size and the stubble that usually covers his face, Damon looks much older then he actually is. For being such an imposing figure all one would have to do is look into his hazel eyes to see the kindness that radiates from him.
His attire varies depending on the day but most times includes tapered pants, clean looking boots and then something much cooler up top. Damons go to for tops could be anything from simple plaid shirts often with the sleeves rolled up or sleeveless shirts. His muscular arms and shoulders often make for a tough fit on regular shirts. He's often seen with his canvas jacket, the collar lined with fur but that depends on the current temperature.
Traits
--
Polar Bear Human
Zoan Devil Fruit - 100 xp
Having eaten the Kuma Kuma No Mi Model: Polar Bear, Damon has the ability to switch between a full beast and hybrid form to utilize the traits of a polar bear. The fruit has given him an increase in strength and defense, while making him a bit slower. The fruit comes with the general weakness's of becoming a hammer in the sea, as well as the weakness to seastone. Oddly enough he's become a full carnivore since eating the fruit, following the diet of most polar bears.
Inhuman Strength
Human Trait 1
Between the increased strength from his devil fruit and the years of being a shipwright, Damon has developed an inhuman level of strength. Able to put an extreme amount of force into his strikes.
Inhuman Resilience
Human Trait 2
The years of natural training his body endured as a shipwright, as well as his extremely large size has led to Damon being able to withstand an unnatural amount of damage. Between his hard headedness and general bodily abilities he doesn't go down easily.
Keen Eye
Human Trait 3
In part thanks to studying shipbuilding from a young age, Damon has a keen eye, being able to sum up structures quickly and pick up details most would overlook, allowing him to identify problems and understand architecture and the like much more readily than most. He can use this to strictly help with ship building or perhaps in battle to target structural weaknesses.

Background
Damon never knew his mother. His father, Enzo, was a pirate and Damon spent the first five years of his life on a pirate ship. The young boy was just as much part of the crew as anyone else; sometimes he might’ve even been like the crews mascot. Enzo was a kind man for a pirate, very even keel, calm, cool and collected. He was also a good father, managing his responsibilities as first mate with taking care of a young toddler. Despite their situation he always made time for Damon, and most of the boys fondest memories came from the five year period he spent on the ship.
The pirate crew took a transportation contract in the grandline, looking to make some extra bellie to upgrade their ship before they began their adventure into the New World. It was on this transportation contract that everything went wrong. The horrors Damon saw that day would be burned into his memory for the rest of the young boy’s life. The crew was attacked by marines, as it turned out the cargo they were transporting was actually a person, and that person was a highly valuable military asset that was trying to escape. The Marines sent a Vice Admiral after the budding crew, and they were dismantled ruthlessly. The marines made short work of the entire crew, including Enzo, the young boy’s father.
Sitting by his father’s near lifeless body tears streamed down Damon’s face at the state of his father, his hero. Enzo was a bloody mess at this point, not even a smile gracing his fair features. Half the crew had been arrested, their cargo had been seized and Damon had hid the entire time as his father requested. Damon could remember the cannon fire piercing the hull of the ship, the dead crew members and the young five year old the only ones still being transported by the now sinking ship. Before long Damon was clinging to a wooden board, floating for what seemed like forever until he washed up on the shore of a place called Duoro.
He spent the next few years on Duoro as a street rat; he hid, stole and did whatever else he needed to survive. By the time he was ten he had become accustomed to the street rat lifestyle. Damon lived in an abandoned building in the markets, giving him easy access to any street food stalls and other goods merchants were selling. He was surprisingly quick and evasive, most of the normal citizens knew he existed, they just couldn’t catch him.
His eleventh year was the year he got in trouble. Duoro was holding an annual festival and it was a perfect time with all the crowds and people for Damon to make some extra coin and get some great loot. His eyes were drawn to a particular lavish looking street stall, full of gold and jewels and one peculiar fruit looking object in a padded chest on display. The only thing on the young boys mind was that it must be the best tasting food ever if it was on display like that.
Using the crowd around the stall as cover Damon was able to sneak up and snag the fruit but not without being noticed. Running from the merchant guards with the fruit in tow, Damon used all the back alleys and shortcuts he knew. When he finally thought he was in the clear Damon took a massive bite of the fruit. It was not the best tasting thing ever; in fact it might’ve been the worst. The kid was hunched over, pain in his stomach, and nearly heaving. That was when the merchants guard caught up to him, dragging the heaving boy back to the merchant.
By the time they got back the pain had subsided for Damon, but the merchant was ready to give him to the city guards because the boy couldn’t pay the ridiculous price for this terrible tasting fruit. Just as his fate was about to be sealed and he was going to be given over to the guards, a man claiming to be his father stepped forward and handed the merchant a bag of money to cover the cost of said fruit. The man was massive, nearly seven feet tall, covered in muscle, his hair down just past his shoulders and his bushy beard down to his chest. Damons “father” pulled the boy aside after dealing with the merchant, telling him his name was Henrik, and that he was a shipwright in the city. He offered Damon a job to pay off his debt.
Damon accepted, grateful to Henrik for saving his life, and spent the next eight years of his life learning everything there was to know about ships from the best shipwright in Duoro. It wasn’t long before Damon too was covered in corded muscle from all the physical labour. Though the boy wasn’t sure if it was the shipbuilding, the devil fruits effects, or if his new physique was a combination of both. During this eight year period he not only learned shipbuilding, but learned a bit about his new abilities. He also made a friend, that he was sure might be a friend for life.
Damon had been working on a ship out in the harbour. Harnessed in as he hung from the side, hammering away at a board when his rope broke and he fell quickly into the sea below. As soon as his body hit the water he basically went limp, sinking to the bottom, the devil fruit rendering him unable to swim his way out of the situation. The apprentice shipwright passed out from the lack of oxygen and then next thing he knew he was laying on the shore, staring up at perhaps the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
They developed a friendship, exchanging letters, often enjoying food snuck out from the palace and just enjoying each other’s company. Damon, quiet as he was listened more than talked, but he did feel comfortable to open up about his early life. He learned tons about her plight, being shipped off to a kingdom due to an evil step mother. Everything he learned about the young princess endeared her more and more to him and he was basically willing to do anything to protect her. When she came to him needing to leave the island and escape her fate, Damon prepared one of the small schooners he had built himself, said his goodbyes to Henrik and set sail with the princess by his side, willing to do whatever he had to do to keep her safe.
