Background
First Life(Unawakened)
Damien Allen was born in San Diego, California in 1972. Both of his parents were under 20 and unmarried. His father soon left leaving his mother to struggle in California to raise a child with no support. When Damien was 3 years old his mother left the sunny skies of San Diego and followed some friends to New Orleans. She left San Diego looking for a new start and only found another end. She fell further and further down the spiral of drugs and depression leaving Damien to fend for himself. Eventually she purchased a small house in the French Quarter of New Orelans giving Damien a sembalance of normalcy. It was in this time where Damien met one of his life long friends. Wayne Censi. They tended to stick together and look out for each other.
A few months after Damien turned 15 his mother decided she was moving back to California. She and Damien didn't get along so she didn't invite him to follow. Left with more bills then he could image and a rundown house, Damien eventually found his way to the streets. He dropped out of High School just to survive. As fate would have it he eventually ran into a few kids at the local community college and quickly learned his love and ease with computers. It was an easy thing for him to eek out enough to eat just with the public terminals available at the libraries and local colleges.
The group he hung out with in the labs insisted that he finish high school. It wasn't until Wayne pushed that he decided to take the tests. Wayne and Damien ended up jumping for low paying job to low paying job until one night after Wayne had been fired and Damien quit a job at a local video store. Everything changed when they decided to stop for a drink.
Second Life(Virtual Adept)
Damien and Wayne ended up in a small club in New Orlean's French Quarter called the Jazz funeral. The night progressed as most of their nights did, Damien having fun half the time and the other half of the time trying to coax Wayne into doing the same. They were in a booth resting and argueing about Wayne's choice of drink, water, when a beautiful woman slid in next to Wayne. Cassandra Vanoy, a local Hallow One, saw the fact that the two guys were about to awaken, or explode and thought she should introduce herself before that happened. Due to a recent bout of paradox the Hallow One was literally smoking, as if slightly on fire. The who guys decided they'd had enough of the club and decided to walk home, hoping the night air would clear their heads.
On the way home, fate once again conspired against them, they were attacked by a pack of absurd creatures. Displacer Beasts. In that moment both the Avatar's of Damien and Wayne awakened and helped to two young men survive. Damien was able to teleport out of the way of a Charging beast and Wayne turned into a dragon. The two men easy killed the Displacer Beasts and managed to keep a few teeth as a souvenir thinking that this was all just a drunken dream.
Over the next few weeks things got stranger and stranger as Damien and Wayne were pulled, forcefully at times into the awakened world. They met a few local Mages, some were ok and some were insane. Theora Hetirck a Euthanatos pulled to the area by Fate and a need to investigate the Displacer Beast attacks. She brought with her a Virtual Adept named Kid Africa and an Akashic Brother name Mickey Chan. Damien and Wayne fell in with this group and they 3 experienced mages too them under their wings and taught them about the awakened world.
Kid Africa brought Damien full bore into the Virtual Adept world. Teaching him the ways of the Digital Web, and general life as a Virtual Adept. At the same time Theora decided New Orleans was a place to set up a permanent home, and soon Theora, Kid Africa, Mickey Chan, Damien and Wayne signed the charter founding The House of the Rising Sun. Theora being a Euthanatos and just the person she was quickly turned the chantry into a War Chantry. Often sending Damien and Wayne out to investigate and fight things that went bump in the night.
The two mages were sent to investigate a Nephandic group running a club downtown, there was evidence that they were selling awakened drugs to the sleepers. Wayne living a sheltered life and not knowing how the streets worked inadvertently took some of the drugs and became hopeless addicted. Over the next few weeks and months Damien watched his friend fall more and more apart. The drugs eventually overcame Wayne's willpower and he attacked Cassie the head of the new College chantry and sister to House of the Rising Sun.
Damien was able to bring Wayne around and it put a lot of stress on the chantry. At the same time Damien was having trouble of his own. The more he tried to help and fit into this War Chantry the more useless and out of touch he felt. His easy confidence that he had always had was slowly faltering. Everytime he tried to defend his friend he would hurt someone, everytime he tried to be strong he was weak. This lead to the hardest decision he ever had to make.
Damien decided he was going to join the Euthanatos. He first talked to Theora and she was skeptical at best. Thinking he was just upset about shooting Waynes mentor in one accident and almost killing Wayne in another. But it didn't take long for Theora to see that he was serious. She started teaching him the ways of Wheel, what Death really meant and what it took to met it out and guard it.
Damien agreed and Theora began to make arrangements. The next day Damien was standing in the Chantry house at the top of the stairs talking and joking with Wayne when he felt a pressure on his neck and passed out. As a right of passage into the Euthanatos one must first die in order to know what death is, and Theora had killed Damien, with a garrote and dropped him down the stairs. The body landing at Waynes feet.
