Hobbies:
Theater || Among the few things Dami remembers are lines and speeches from Shakespeare, and chasing them down has helped him put together a few pieces of who he might have been. His interest in theater is currently more passive than active, in that he enjoys finding time to attend shows and movies and take them in versus attempting to actually perform - he's a bit cautious about putting himself out publicly like that - but he still loves it, and he would like to perform again someday. The spotlight is an addicting thing, after all.

Cooking || About the only other thing Dami remembers besides Shakespeare is how to cook. He finds it soothing and comforting - food doesn't care if you're an amnesiac failure who can't accomplish anything, it "cares" if you can competently prepare it. He has considered enrolling in culinary classes, in order to further his abilities, because it seems like a distinctly surer career path than attempting to get (back?) into the world of the performing arts.

Krabi-Krabong || Although krabi-krabong is a rare martial art outside Taiwan, Damian considers himself incredibly lucky in that he found someone willing to teach him and a small handful of other students. He finds both calm and power in the forms and dances of the art. Plus, the weapons involved are close to the ones he uses as an officer, which makes learning to fight in this style an extra win for him - dual-wielding martial arts are not exactly a super common thing.

Virtues:
Determined || When Dami wants something, he will have it. He almost never gives up, and will do whatever needs to be done to get it, or to complete a necessary task or achieve a goal. Whenever he sets out to do something, it will be done, and done to the absolute best of his ability. He hates letting something go or feeling like he’s failed, and so he does his absolute best to never let that happen.

Fake It ‘Till You Make It || With no recollection of his civilian life or the person he used to be, Damian’s actual confidence in himself is all but gone - but his new role as an officer absolutely demands that he pretend to believe in himself even though he doesn’t. So Damian works twice as hard as he might have before to present a confident, self-assured veneer, to convince people that he absolutely believes in himself. Lack of confidence is weakness, particularly in the shark tank that is the Negaverse, and Damian refuses to be weak unless it would benefit him long-term.

Charismatic || Dami might not remember that he was a trained actor, but he still retains the skills and stage presence of one. It means that he is very good at getting and holding attention, and at inspiring and charming people. He is also surprisingly talented at public speaking in general, and it is one of the few things he legitimately regards as an actual talent. It’s not perfect, of course, and not everyone is going to fall for his charms, but it’s still generally a highly useful skill.

Flaws:
Cynical || Dami has absolutely no faith in humanity. The entire score of his memories has been reduced to his powered side, and as Ploutonion of Saturn, he saw a hell of a lot of failure and disorganization and general terribleness, and it has left him profoundly bitter. His cynicism tends to mean that he is bitter, snarky, and sarcastic, particularly when he stops giving a s**t about being charming. The world is s**t, you’re probably s**t, and unless he has the energy to put up an active effort to be nice, Dami is as likely as not to tell you to ******** off.

Low Self-Esteem || Damian has even more trouble seeing any good in himself than he did before. He is not sure there even is a “self” to see, because he’s so busy putting up a thousand masks for every situation that he’s not entirely sure there’s even a real person under there. He tries not to let it show, but it informs absolutely everything he does, from the way he pushes himself to the way he aggressively projects confidence to divert attention from how little he actually has.

Manipulative || Damian is a manipulator, pure and simple. He will smile and charm and convince you that what he wants is what you want - but he is still a manipulator. It is one of his primary ways of getting what he wants and needs; once, he did it for the benefit of others, but now, it is almost entirely for himself. There are very few people he absolutely will not use to further himself; it takes him having an extraordinary amount of affection for a person for him to be completely open and honest with them.
