Height:

[/color] 6'2".
Weight: 158lbs.
Hair Color: Blond.
Eye Color: Blue.
Notable Features: Multiple tattoos, including one across his chest that reads "All the Worlds a Stage".
Play-By: Craig Owens.
General Description: Jeans and t-shirts as well as converse and tennis shoes make up the most of Damon's closet. He wears boots sometimes and has maybe one dress shirt, but he's all about comfort more than style. He likes to wear hoodies instead of jackets, finding them more warm and comfortable than anything. If he could, he'd probably just go without shoes, but seeing as that would be a health and safety hazard at St. Abram's, he doesn't. Sometimes he'll wear a little eyeliner, but that's typically just when he's playing at an open mic night.[/justify][/blockquote][/size]

Likes:

[/color]

• Early morning runs. Damon gets up early every morning to run around the local park at least once before getting ready to go to the school.
  
• Late night coffee. While he's always a fan of coffee, there's something even better about it late at night.
  
• IHOP. 24-hour pancakes? Yes, please. They're completely amazing, and a great place to go to relax or get some work done on those sleepless nights.
  
• Singing. Damon wouldn't say he's the best singer, but he's decent enough and he enjoys it. That's the most important part, after all.
  
• Playing guitar. He's been playing guitar since he was a kid. It's one of his favorite hobbies.
  
• Tattoos. They're intriguing. Each one has a story, even if it's as trivial as "I just thought it was pretty". Every tattoo can tell you a little about the person that has it.
  
• His job. It's very rewarding, he finds. Getting to help students who aren't in the best of places is one of the best things he feels he's done with his life. After all, everyone deserves to have people who care enough about them to help when the rest of the world has given up on them.
  
• A good banter. Nothing is more relaxing and entertaining than having someone you can have a really good conversation with that goes back and forth with jokes and the like thrown in.
  
• Sarcasm. Damon is the king of using sarcasm, and he does it so well that sometimes it's difficult to tell if he's really being sarcastic, or if he's being serious.

Dislikes:

• His job. As much as he loves his job, it's a little disheartening as well. A lot of the students go through the system without getting anything positive out of it. It's always sad to see them leave just as miserable as they were when they came in.
  
• Snow. Just no. The snow and ice needs to go away. He doesn't like it and always dreads when the weather starts to turn cold. He prefers to stay indoors as much as possible when it's cold, though he doesn't forgo his morning runs unless there's snow or ice on the ground.
  
• Denny's. The food is nasty as all hell in his opinion. He'd rather go hungry than eat there. IHOP is definitely a million times better.
  
• Snakes. He isn't scared of them and he doesn't freak out when he sees one or anything, he just isn't that fond of them. He'd much rather them stay somewhere else.
  
• Katy Perry. Really, Damon has no idea how she's gotten so famous. He doesn't think she can sing, nor is she that pretty. He doesn't think she's ugly, he's just not that attracted to her.
  
• Dubstep. Is that seriously supposed to be music? To him, it's a slap in the face in all that is holy in music.
  
• Christmas. It holds a lot of bad memories for him and he'd really just rather avoid that holiday as much as possible.
  
• Churches. He isn't religious at all, nor does he have a problem with people who are, but being in church always freaks him out a bit. They make him feel uncomfortable.
  
• Country music. Every once in a while there will be a country song that he doesn't mind or that he even likes, but those really are few and far between. Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw are about the only exception.

Strengths: Guitar, making other people smile, writing, math.
Weaknesses: Musicians, allergic to sunscreen, can't lift his right arm past midchest without pain due to a broken arm that wasn't set back right.
Fears: Horses, spiders, heights.
Disorders: None.
General Description: Damon is one of those people that always speaks his mind, whether it sounds mean or not. It makes some people think he's an asshole, but he's okay with that. He's also very sarcastic. It's almost like second nature to him. If you don't understand sarcasm well, it might be difficult to get along with him. He's a little "rough around the edges", known for being a bit crass or crude at times, but it's just part of who he is. Damon's a good guy, despite all that, though. He's caring and often volunteers to help the less fortunate. Damon often uses pet names like "hon", "sweetie", and "darlin'" for just about everybody, but that's the norm in the town he was raised in. The guy does have a slight anger problem, but he tends to focus on taking it out on the punching bag he has in his apartment rather than someone else after he's learned how to channel it.[/justify][/blockquote][/size]

History: Damon Haile had a relatively normal childhood. He wasn't abused or mistreated. There weren't family feuds or divorces. Really, he had a happy childhood. Sure, there were low points, but those were nothing compared to a lot of people. He'd always had anger issues, though, but was enrolled in martial arts classes in junior high to try to help him with it, something that actually worked well. At least, until he started doing drugs in high school because a "friend" introduced him to it. The young man fucked up his life pretty badly there for a long while, losing himself in drugs and alcohol. However, he was given an ultimatum by his high school sweetheart: get clean or she was walking. So, he did. It took a lot of time and there were some slipups, but by the time he was in college, he was clean for the first time since he started high school. Life was great for him and things were going much better than planned. He was going to try for a teaching degree at least enough to be a substitute teacher, but what he really wanted to do was to be a child's counselor.

So, that was where his main focus was. After having lost a friend to suicide when he was in high school, the startling increase in the number of teens doing it seriously saddened him and he wanted to put a focus on that, so he could try to help kids in ways he'd not been able to help his friend. He was twenty three when his personal life fell apart, however. It was Christmas time, and he was planning on asking his girlfriend (the same girl that had given him the ultimatum) to marry him. That ended up crashing and burning when on Christmas Eve she broke up with him, only for him to later find out she'd been messing around with his friend the entire time they'd been together. Since then, he's not enjoyed the holiday, nor has he had any serious relationships. He puts more focus on his work than anything, especially after getting hired on at a school that focused on helping young people with serious problems. It was a way for him to ignore his own personal issues, but he would survive. There were more important things, after all, like attempting to save the life of someone who had just begun to live. That, and a friend who worked there, lead Damon to apply for a job at St. Helena's, which he was given.[/justify][/blockquote][/size]
