Damien Cross

DAMIEN CROSS

Age: 21
Role: Major Recurring Character / Rival
Type: Mage
Affinity: Pressure Manipulation

Damien is an experienced Westbridge student and one of the major rivals introduced in the story.

He’s cocky, competitive, and occasionally arrogant. Damien knows he’s good and isn’t afraid to let people know it.

However, he’s not simply a villain. Damien is fundamentally a good person whose pride often gets in his way. His character develops significantly throughout the story.

Damien has a complicated background. His biological parents were villains and are deceased. He was raised within the adoption system before eventually being adopted by Mundanes.

Because of his upbringing, Damien has no desire to follow the path of his biological parents.

He initially looks down on Adam because he’s Mundane, but eventually develops respect for him after seeing what Adam is capable of.

Lulu, meanwhile, has a tendency to get under Damien’s skin.

Personality: Cocky, competitive, proud, intelligent, occasionally arrogant, secretly compassionate.

Voice Direction: Young adult male voice with confidence and authority. Damien should sound like someone who knows he’s talented without becoming a cartoonishly arrogant bully.

Casting Notes: Must be capable of portraying both rivalry and vulnerability. Damien’s later character development will require emotional range.
