This is how Insomnium's armor looks
Outside of missions, he usually wears a jacket, like the one shown, and some regular jeans and combat boots.
Weaponry - Shadow constructs, Lightning Constructs, Shadow-Lightning Constructs
Equipment - N/A
Powers - He has an ability known as Divided Mind, in which ones mind can become more when placed in a stressful environment. This ability affects his other abilities by changing the ways the powers work, or changing the strength of each power. Damian bears a rather strong Electrokinesis ability, able to use it directly or in a variety of ways, but his Umbrakinesis suffers for it, as his shadow constructs are noticeably weaker. He has a slightly above average toughness, and a very high healing factor as well. Insomnium is the opposite with weak Electrokinesis, and very powerful Umbrakinesis. Insomnium's body becomes much more durable, but the healing factor is lessened by a lot.(Ex. Damien gets shot by a pistol, he'll heal up in a couple minutes. Insomnium gets shot by a pistol, it will leave a small bruise, and thats about it.)
Limitations - A light source is need for their shadow powers to work, as they need actual shadows to work with, and they must have an electrical charge flowing inside there body in order to generate more. Damien can't always surpress Insomnium, who can and will come out in the middle of battle to join a fight, and is much more able to restrain Damien.
Skills - He is excellent at hand to hand, as well as sword and gunplay. High pain tolerance, and has real-life combat experience.
Weaknesses - No light means no shadows, and the shadows available need to be of sufficient strength. needs a charge to jump start electrical energy generation. Insomnium is rather easily bated into a dangerous berserker rage then can be as dangerous to his allies as it is to him.
Morality - Neutral Good when Damien, Chaotic Neutral when Insomnium
Personality - Damian is rather relaxed outside of combat, if a shy around others and a bit of a wall flower, he likes to sit back and watch rather then step up. In combat, however, he bears no such hesitation, being very much a go to kind of guy, whose always thinking about what he can use to his advantage to win the fight. Insomnium, on the other hand, is anything but. He is very happy go lucky, liking to go with the flow and talk with people, even if they don't want to talk to him. In battle, he only cares about fighting, and will do whatever it takes to get a satisfying fight, even if it means sabotaging his sides efforts. He can even go into an uncontrollable rage if the fighting gets him excited enough, in which case their is no friend or foe, only enemies to be destroyed.
Bio - Damien was born into the world of mercenaries, with both his father and his mother being one. When his powers were discovered at the age of 8, he was immediately started on a path to become a soldier of fortune. He was happy, thinking of the whole experience, both the good and the bad of it, as an adventure. Then, he got captured on this one mission when he was around 17, and was tossed into a deep dark hole, where there was no light. He spent about 2 years in that darkness, unable to see anything, and only able to eat when he heard food get dropped from above. In that darkness, surrounded by nothing but a dark void, is where he found Insomnium, born from his fear and encroaching madness. He was birn in the shadows, and so they became his weapon. When his captors came to feed him, Insomnium escaped and completely destroyed the compound, located in the Sahara dessert, and traveled through it until he reached the border of Egypt, where his parents had an agent located. He was returned home, but was never quite the same, and he always seemed to be conversing with a voice in his head, though it didn't affect his combat abilites in anyway.
Presently, Damien is wondering around, trying to find something to do with his life. While being a mercenary was fun, he wants to do something more meaningful than just fight for a paycheck, which he'll still do if the cause is just and the pay is good.
