Damien Cooper 

biography

Damien was convinced from a one night stand. He was left on his father's doorstep with a note that read "His name is Damien". Mr. Cooper, was not pleased in the slightest about the predicament he was now in.

 The worst thing about this whole situation was Mr. Cooper was married and had cheated on his wife. They had no kids of their own, because he constantly told Mrs. Cooper that he did not want kids. When Mrs. Cooper found out, she was livid. About to leave and divorce the man, but he begged her to stay. 

Damien didn't have a chance at this point, his dad never wanted kids, and the person he knew as his mom, despised him for being another women's child. As Damien grew up, things only got worse. 

At just four years old Damien started showing real talent with his drawing. It wasn't must being so young, but it was there. When his pre-school teacher seen his drawing of a dog, she told him it was amazing. This put a huge smile on his face and he was so excited to go home and show his mom and dad. 

That was the first day he felt sad, when he showed his mom and dad, they both just shrugged it away, his mom made a snide comment and his father just laughed at him. Damien didn't understand why they acted that way, when his teacher seemed so happy. 

As Damien got older, his drawing became more and more impressive, but his parents became more and more aggravated and disappointed with him. When Damien was six years old, he father threw away all of his color pencils that he had gotten from his school, ripped up the drawings he was working on, making Damien cry. His father didn't care though, he yelled at him to stop crying like a girl, that drawing wasn't going to get him anywhere in life.

Mr. Cooper decided that putting Damien into a sport would make him more of a boy. Forcing Damien into playing Baseball and Soccer, and anytime Damien tried to back out, his dad started to beat him. It started out with just being spanked, but when Damien didn't improve in the sports his father started to use a belt. By the time Damien turned ten years old, his father was beating him with anything he could get his hands on leaving welts and bruises all down his backside. 

Damien cried himself to sleep most nights. He hardly wanted to even try to draw anything, or even show the slightest interest in anything crafty, afraid his father would see him and beat him again. His only safe place wasn't exactly his favorite place, school. He wasn't the best at school either, which also didn't help things at home, but he had a best friend at school. 

Damien met Xavier when he was nine years old, and they become best friends fast. Xavier was never allowed to come to his house, so he only got to see him at school. His favorite thing about his best friend was that he could be himself, he would draw all kinds of pictures at school and let Xavier keep them. 

When Damien turned twelve years old he started to get a small rebellious side, thanks to Xavier. He started sneaking out at night to go hang out with his friend, who was secretly letting him discover his love for other mediums beside just drawing with a pencil. There were some nights that his father caught him, and beat him. These beatings caused black eyes, bloody noses, and busted lips, but Damien just made-up excuse after excuse as to why he had those marks. 

About a week before his 13th birthday, Damien had snuck out to meet his buddy Xavier. While he was on his way to their meeting spot, something caught his attention in the glow of the streetlights. He stopped in his tracks, eyes wide, as a serpent like creature that had what looked like a dragons head, came into view and it was headed straight for him. Frozen in fear he hardly noticed when he was being tossed to the side by another creature, or human, he rubbed his eyes, blinking as his eyes adjusted he recognized him, it was Xavier, but with horns! He watched in horror as his friend fought this giant creature off. 

Xavier eventually killed the creature, and stuck his hand out to Damien, "come, we need to go talk to your father" he said in a serious tone. Damien shook his head still in slight shock, "n-no" was all he could get out, he was scared of what just happened, but his friend saved him somehow, but he was still scared of what his father might do to him, and even to his friend possibly. Xavier pulled him to his feet "Your father won't be able to hurt you anymore, you're a DemiGod, and I am here to take you to Camp Half-Blood" he told him with a smile, "but we have to tell your parents, we can't just leave" Damien caved and they headed back to his house.

When they got to the house, his father was already up and knew he was gone again. Damien was physically shaking when his father stood up out of his chair and headed toward them. Xavier moved to stand and front of Damien "Mr. Cooper, I am here to tell you that Damien is a DemiGod and I am taking him to Camp Half-Blood" Mr. Cooper stopped in his tracks, not only hearing the words Xavier spoke but now seeing the horns on his head. "Fine take him, I didn't want him anyways! He is a pansy!" he yelled. Damien raced to his room packing his stuff as quick as possible. He really didn't understand where he was going but he was ready to leave.

After a couple days they were standing in front of a Big Blue House. Damien was so excited to find out more about his life as a DemiGod. Walking through those doors, changed his life. He was claimed by his godly parent, the Goddess Iris. And then put into a cabin with his siblings that were also born from Iris. 

When he first arrived at camp, he kept to himself, and hardly interacted with anyone. He didn't know what to make of camp or of the other campers that lived there. After almost six months of keeping to himself, and not wanting to show off any of his stuff or even act as his true self, afraid of how the others would react. Damien finally did open up, and all the campers welcomed him for who he was. He was finally happy. He found his passion for oil painting and when he was sixteen, he discovered that he was gay. 

Personality

Damien is a sweet, colorful, and flamboyant guy. Most everyone at camp loved his high spirited, fun loving personality. There were some that found him annoying, and he learned to be ok with that. 

You can find him in the art center, his favorite medium is oil paints. But every now and then, specially on a bad day, he would use paints and splatter them all over the canvas, making a mess everywhere. It was his way of letting his anger out. He is overly cheerful, always trying to make sure his friends are happy.
