Claiming:Camp/Katie Williams

Name: Damien William Michaels

Age: 14

Mortal Parent: Julius Mark Michaels II

God/Titan: Melinoe

Personality: Damien is a major introvert, quiet, shy, and reclusive. Certainly unpopular, and certainly ignorable. Being an only child, Damien grew this way, always noticing the difference between him and other children. These observations made Damien shy, and a loner. Having family ties with the Virtuoso family, Damien grew up alongside Drew Campwood, although a less abusive path. Damien's shyness resulted in him never actually having friends, to this day.

Damien, however, is also very intelligent, and enjoys science, particularly biology and the Periodic table. Damien's intelligence landed him a future in the machine industry, as Domonick Farmer, owner of "Code Red", promised Damien a job by the age of 16. However, Damien's demigod powers aren't the only he has. His other three (Collossus, Motion-Adapt, and Transformative) are all transformations granted to him by the green pendant around his neck, gifted to him by his mother.

History:

Before Damien was born, Melinoe and Hades were having "issues". Arguments seemed to always span between the two, despite Hades being Melinoe's father. Finally, as a peace treaty, Hades instilled some of his power into a charm that enhances one's physiology. Melinoe loved the gift, and wore it on the day she went to Hollywood.

Julius was a blockbuster screenwriter and up-and-coming actor when he met Melinoe. Only 23, Julius had wrote six movies (two Oscar-nominated) and acted in two shows (one Emmy-nominated). Having an Academy-award for 'Best Actor' already, Julius was definitely catching the public's eye. Especially after purchasing his own yacht and finalizing a fragrance deal (Sceptre). Julius was at an afterparty for the celebration of a new movie he was both screenwriting and acting in, when he met Melinoe. Telling him her name was 'Melissa', Julius only spent an hour talking to her before inviting her back to his hotel room for the night. The next day, upon waking up, Julius found that 'Melissa' was gone, without a trace. Believing it was a one-night stand, he went on with life. Nine months later, only a few weeks before the movie would premiere in theatres, someone knocked at the door of his recently bought penthouse. Upon answering it, Julius found a baby wrapped in a blanket on the steps. Lying next to him was a gold-looking staff and a emerald necklace. No note; nothing. But Julius could tell, from the very shocking resemblance of the child and him, that the infant on the porch was his son. And if it wasn't, well... Julius could've used a child anyways. The high-life gets boring without someone to enjoy it with, so Julius decided to bring the infant into his life. And as he picked up the infant and moved towards the house, he saw a second infant... that looked exactly like the first.

At first, everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of the two children that appeared out of nowhere, but after making up a tear-jerking story about finding the twins abandoned (which was half-true), Julius was painted as a hero, and the suspicions dropped. Meanwhile, Julius' movie (A Silent Night) gained blockbuster fame, getting a box office profit of about $250 million, within the first two months. As many actors and corporations reached out to do movies or make a franchise out of A Silent Night, Julius started putting his focus into raising his sons. Naming the one he found first Murphy Allen Michaels, he named the second one Damien William Michaels. As the two got older, it was a main difference between the two. While Damien was perfectly healthy, Murphy had Type II Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a rare genetic disorder which left his bones extremely brittle. By age five, Murphy broke his collarbone twice, and fractured several bones to the point he was consistently in wheelchairs. He also showed a unidentifiable learning deficiency, that ultimately resulted in him being diagnosed with brain cancer. On their sixth birthday, Damien discovered Murphy in his bed, unresponsive. He had a seizure while sleeping, and due to his brittle bones, he broke several ribs, and passed away... all in his sleep. Julius was fairly sad and mournful, but Damien took it the worst, considering Murphy as his "only friend" (which is sadly, but accurately, true). Blaming himself for his brother's death, Damien became withdrawn, unable to figure out why Murphy had two different diseases, while he was perfectly healthy. But soon, Damien returned to school, never forgetting his brother.

Damien was first attacked when he was 11. By then, Julius was not only one of the most sought-out screenwriters, but, at age 34, owned his own movie studios (Michaels Pictures), half of Apple, Inc., his own liquor (SinSation, a champagne), and mansion. As A Silent Night V: Deadly Insticts won an Academy award for "Best Screenplay" and Julius won his third "Best Actor" Academy award, Damien became obsessed with biology and the Periodic table. While Julius stayed in the limelight, Damien avoided it, almost forgotten by the public. One day, when Julius went to Toronto for a book signing ("How to be a Better You!" by Julius M. Michaels II), Damien was outside dismembering his old bike when a harpy swooped down to attack Damien. Ducking out of the way, Damien was scared to death by the sudden appearance of the harpy. Crawling away, Damien ran inside the mansion for protection, only to be followed by the harpy. Running upstairs, Damien ran through eight different rooms, trying to lose the harpy. But the harpy wouldn't leave, and Damien ran up to the attic. Hididng, Damien was next to a box when he saw something gleaming inside. As the harpy banged on the attic door, trying to get in, Damien reached in the box and grabbed the shiny object, which was a green pendant with a silver chain. The pendant had ancient markings (later realized to be Greek) on it, that initially, Damien couldn't read. Then, the words seemed to rearrange themselves, until they formed a message: "Stone of Transformations. To my sons. From your mother Melinoe". Upon reading it, the harpy broke into the attic. But, Damien was froze in surprise. He never thought that his mother was a Greek goddess, but here was a stone stating it. As the harpy inched closer to Damien, Damien finally realized he was cornered. Thinking he was going to die, he clenched his hand around the pendant and closed his eyes. "I wish...I wish I was stronger!" Damien thought fearfully. Then, pitch black... and a cold, blinding purple light. When Damien opened his eyes, he felt different. He looked different, too. Glowing green inscriptions covered Damien's body, and his body seemed more toned and muscular. He felt stronger, faster, better. As the harpy attacked, Damien grabbed it's arm and slammed it into the floor... and it went through. The harpy flew through the attic floor and crashed into the front door. Before Damien could move, his abilities deactivated... and his arm was broken. His other limbs were burn, frostbitten, and bruised, but Damien stood... full of fear. "What was this? How did I..." Damien thought, before fainting.

when Julius returned, Damien explained his findings to him. At first skeptical, he seemed to believe Damien after seeing the security footage. Although it didn't show the harpy (just a pidgeon), it did show Damien transform (it showed the gleam from his transformation, but his actual transformation wasn't there, just regular ol' Damien). Julius then had his son taking boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes. As Damien got older, he seemed to understand the stone more. The stone contained the fused and altered DNA of several monsters, making Damien wonder if Hades created it (after all, Hades can control several monsters.) Damien can also enter a state where he can boost his body, with very drastic and nasty consequences. After seeing some of the consequences firsthand, he wasn't excited to continuously use the stone. One day, he got a knock on the door. Damien was 14, and was attacked several times already by monsters. At the door was his cousin, Andre Virtuouso, and his best friend, Drew Campwood. Convincing Julius, they invited Damien with them to Camp Half-Blood. That is where Damien's been ever since.
