Background:
Both of Damien's parents were severe alcoholic drug addicts. His mother found out she was pregnant with him when she was in labor. He was taken from them immediately and bounced around from foster home to foster home until he was 8 and his aunt and uncle turned up and took him in. They weren't much better, being alcoholics themselves.

Damien's elemental powers manifested when he was getting his hand held over a gas burner for some imagined misbehavior and he caused a fire where only he survived. He lived on the streets for a time and made a fair living as a tattoo artist until he was outed as a mutant and was run out of town because of it.

Damien has a heart condition, asthma, and nearsightedness from his mother's drug use. Without his contacts or glasses, he's lucky he can see five inches in front of his face. He does suffer occasional trembling fits and has a nervous tendency to drag his tongue post across his teeth. Because of his overall appearance, no one believes his skin colour or eyes are real, thinking he's wearing makeup and fancy contacts for shock value. Between his appearance and personality it's hard for anyone to get close to him, likewise he's cautious about who he lets get close to him. He is an addict as well, pretty much believing if it can kill you, it can also get you high.

Personality: Borderline Manic/Depressive. When he's on an upswing he's a blast to be with, when he's down things get scary, and he has previously tried suicide during the worst of these. He also is a little obsessive. It's unknown whether his personality is like this from birth or upbringing.

Known mutant powers:
Supposed to have been reality warping (like Proteus), but extensive drug damage before and after birth has greatly altered his potential. Whether his future children have the power is a hard call.
Mutant Detection: Not so much an active power as it is perception. His eyes see everyone except mutants in pastel hues. He doesn't consider this a power as he assumes everyone sees like he does.
Elemental Manipulation: Strictly limited to Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. At his current skill he can only use one aspect at a time and keep it up for about five minutes tops. Anything longer and he runs the risk of a heart attack especially with the earth power. He can be hurt by materials he manipulates. His current abilities with each are: Air-Can call up a strong breeze and in time might be able to fly. Weather manipulation like fog, snow or storms are impossible. Fire-Can control it's intensity, but once it's source is gone the fire's out. Water-Can affect the current and make it move like something's moving underneath. Can also make small waves. Earth (applies to clay and rock only)-can roughly shape it and make rock explode
