*Warning: Some mature themes ahead (obviously)*

NAME: Damon Redgraves.

NICKNAME/S:
-Demon
-Red
-Graveman (he HATES this one)
-Dr. Redgraves
-The Butcher

GENDER: Male.

SEXUALITY: Well, he's bisexual, but getting him to actually like anyone at all is a damn miracle in itself.

AGE: 26 years old.

APPEARANCE: His FC is Cory Michael Smith. Damon is a tall man, looming at six feet, along with a slim physique. He doesn't work out, but he does eat healthy and makes sure that his body is kept in check. He has brunette hair that is typically groomed or gelled, but sometimes will be left in its natural curls. He has fair skin, though littered with faint scars along his torso and back. His signature feature is his smile, one that could almost reach up to his ears and dark eyes with a hint of a devious glint behind his glasses. He takes every opportunity possible to dress and look his absolute best, mostly wearing suits and such with a gentlemanly demeanour, and can never stand even just the tiniest mess or detail out of place.

OCCUPATION:
-Police department M.E.
-Serial killer

BIO: Damon was born into a dysfunctional family. A mother who was severely abusive, and an addicted father who sold drugs as well. He grew up in the bad and poverty stricken side of town, and not a day went by when he wasn't yelled at or beaten. It left a really harsh emotional and physical trauma on him, which caused him to be incapable of proper interaction with other people and opting instead to stick to himself and rely on things like encyclopedia books for entertainment and comfort for just a few moments. Due to this, he has always been seen as weird and was outcasted and bullied. No one ever knew what was going on back home (if it could even be called that).

Eventually, his father died from an overdose which hit his mother like a freight train. It made her immensely depressed and angry at the same time, taking her upset out on Damon and the abuse only worsening even more. She was officially off the rails until finally, a police car that was doing rounds in their neighbourhood (which was rare) heard shouting and furniture being thrown when it passed by their house. Damon was saved and his mother locked up for good, and he was put up in foster care. He went from family to family, and was assigned for constant therapy sessions. But nothing worked, and he still never felt genuine love from any of the different families he was forced to be a part of.

And that was when he was suddenly adopted by Filch Redgraves, the respected medical examiner at the local precinct who heard about Damon's situation and took pity on the young teen at the time. Overtime, Dr. Redgraves managed to get Damon to come out of his shell and warm up to him. They grew close, and for once Damon felt like he could be happy. Dr. Redgraves made him realize his full potential, and supported him on wanting to follow in his footsteps of becoming a medical examiner and accepting him as a hardworking and committed apprentice.

But it would merely be after so long that Damon would discover Dr. Redgraves' true colours. One late night, Damon was awakened by a loud scream coming from the basement that was vaguely familiar. He was told that it was the only room in the house that was off limits, but concern and curiousity got the better of him. So he carefully made his way down the creaky stairs, noticing the basement's concrete walls and floor stained with blood both old and fresh. And in the middle, lit up by a faint flickering lightbulb, was none other than a dishevelled and bloody Dr. Redgraves holding a knife. He stood over a woman tightly bound and tied to a chair sobbing excessively, when Damon recognized her as his own mother.

Dr. Redgraves wasn't alarmed in the very least, only shooting Damon a Cheshire Cat-like grin as if he was expecting him. Damon made a run for it, but Dr. Redgraves was too fast and caught him.

"Aren't you tired of being pushed around, Damon?" Dr. Redgraves questioned, his voice filled with venom. Totally unlike the kind man that Damon knew. "This world is an incredibly terrible and dangerous piece of shit, my little apprentice. The only way to survive is to be an even worse monster. Come, take what's rightfully yours! Make your grand debut into LIBERATION!"

Dragging Damon to the middle, Dr. Redgraves shoved the knife into his hands and made him stab his mother. Over and over and over again, even after she was already long dead. It was then that Damon saw Dr. Redgraves wasn't even grasping his hands anymore, and he killed her all by himself.

In a mix of burning tears and crazed laughter, in the days to come Damon finds that his morals and own sense of humanity are further and further slipping away. Dr. Redgraves took him under his wing, thoroughly teaching him the fine arts of murder and pain.

When Dr. Redgraves was diagnosed and passed away due to cancer, however, Damon took it upon himself to continue his beloved mentor's lethal legacy. He harbours a resentment towards most of the population, thinking of them as worthless and a weed in his garden. He's talented on staying low and efficiently disposing of the bodies without a trace, but sometimes he'd feel eccentric and want to garner other people's reactions. So he's gained the title 'The Butcher', because of how he leaves a large trashbag somewhere in a public area or even at his own precinct where the contents are a bunch of body parts brutally chopped up and formed in a new disgusting and utterly disturbing way. It is yet another horrifying mystery that would most likely remain unsolved, and the police have no idea that the culprit is literally right under their noses. Their 'innocent' medical examiner.

And throughout everything, Damon proceeds to deny his crippling psychopathy. He firmly believes that it is a gratifying form of liberation and that what he is doing is justified, and will be forever grateful to Dr. Redgraves for showing him his purpose in life.

PERSONALITY: There are two sides to Damon. First; cheerful and pleasant. Then the other; cold and ruthless. There often seems to be a personal power struggle going on in the depths of his mind, and none can be too keen which one they'll get. But whatever side is taking control, he still almost always has a wide smile etched upon his face--chilling and mysterious. He also tends to be a bit of a show off, having a preference for theatrics, and finds such great pleasure at the torture he inflicts on his unfortunate victims. He is very precise and patient, desiring every single object at his will to be nothing but perfect. Which is why he completely despises being interrupted or something (or rather *someone*) ruining his twisted fun, leaving him to have no choice but to swiftly slaughter them with a simple and boring gunshot straight to the head to ease his annoyance. At the workplace or rather in general society, however, he is perceived as a bumbling and nerdy man that is quite easily pushed around. But that is all only an act, and his brain is truly a frightening and fucked up place especially when he deliberately plans the vicious murders of his co-workers.

THEME SONG: Rag Doll Physics by Diablo Swing Orchestra

OTHER: Damon had a girlfriend once. He was super smitten with her and thought that he could finally trust another person, but when she found out what he truly was she left him and broke his heart. He got his sick revenge before she could report to the authorities, of course, but she's the reason why he loathes people even more than he already does and is closed off. He never wants to be distracted by something so foolish and pathetic as 'love' anymore.

"Darling, I'm FAR from crazy... I'm FREE!"

Hope you like him! But I just realized that he has some similarities to Eddie boi, haha. Anyways, I'm so excited to RP him and here are a couple scenarios:

SCENARIO #1-
Your character wakes up in what appears to be a basement, tied up and gagged. They have no idea how the hell they got there or what their purpose even was, and from above they could faintly hear classical music playing. They tried struggling, but eventually gave up as it was no use. Dejected, they just sat there with tears in their eyes until the door opened and footsteps approached after what seemed like a dreadful eternity. They looked up, seeing an unfamiliar man with a malicious smile. "Well, well... Took ya long enough, Sleeping Beauty~" Damon chuckled lowly.

SCENARIO #2-
We can discuss!

Aaand here's le taggies again!
