[b]The man before Alon... Well... He was different. Beyond different. He was bizarre. But he held a kind of weirdo charm, like something from Alice in Wonderland.[/b] [b]He was, without much effort, 6'3 and thin, but still decently muscular. He had tanned skin, not quite like Alon's, rather more caked by the sun. To crest his head was long spiky blonde hair that poked out in all directions. But that's where the normal stuff ended. Next came the eyes... Yellow pools with pupils like a cat's... And of course the jaw. A metal augment, with sharpened teeth that was held in place by two clamps running up his cheeks and down his neck. From there, was a metal neck, eventually hidden by a white t-shirt. His attire was strange too, a tacky olive green fur coat with a massive hood over his previously mentioned shirt. And of corse baggy jeans and massive fur boots. Upon his lower metal jaw and still intact upper lip was a simple smile. He wasn't very attractive... But he wasn't unattractive either... Just very plain... Besides the otherworldly commodities.[/b] [spoiler]https://i.imgur.com/mZui5GQ[/spoiler] [i]"Damien... Damien Lordan. Lance told me about you... And some others... And Lana said she thought you were interesting... I like interesting... So I figured I'd come find you eventually. Just happened to be passing through."[/i] [b]It was highly unlikely he was just 'passing through', but he wasn't about to discuss that.[/b] [i]"I see your point. I don't know... I have hero story syndrome... I hear the tales and suddenly I assume you don't struggle like the rest... Burdens, right?"[/i] [b]He shrugged, his hands buried deep into his large coat pockets as he spoke, the wind ruffling his hair, revealing a bio-sensor right above his right temple, grafted into his skin.[/b] [i]"Well, besides that, it's a pleasure to meet you."[/i] [b]Damien padded forward, slipping his right hand from his pocket, which was covered in long hands of cloth... Much like Lana. He extended the hand, his eyes narrowing to slits.[/b] [b]And the more Alon looked, the more he realized the presence he gave off wasn't magical or psionic. Damien wasn't a mage or telepath... He was simply a man with plenty of burdens... And so, such burdens leaked out spiritually.[/b]
