Aspect: The Viper Ascendant
Existence State: Proven (Cultivated)
Apparent Age: 17 (Rejuvenated Ascension Form)
Damian no longer appears as the hardened middle-aged man he once was. The surge of Proven power has rewritten his form, restoring him to what appears to be his physical prime — seventeen, the age where his ambition first eclipsed fear.
Physique: Lean, athletic, honed rather than bulky — a predator’s build. Every movement carries restrained violence, as if kinetic force is constantly coiled beneath his skin.
Face: Youthful but emotionally ancient. His eyes remain dark, piercing, and utterly unsoftened by youth. When anger surfaces, the contrast is deeply unsettling.
Divine Tattoos (Marks of Sin):
Once faint, symbolic scars of guilt and crime, the tattoos have erupted into full Proven sigils, now covering most of his body — arms, torso, neck, and spilling across his face in elegant, razor-sharp lines.
The designs resemble fractured halos, broken chains, and serpentine geometry
They glow faint crimson or obsidian-black depending on his emotional state
When channeling power or commanding loyalty, the tattoos pulse like a heartbeat
These marks are not decoration — they are cosmic indictments, proof of sins acknowledged, accepted, and weaponized
Eyes: Occasionally flare with kinetic distortion — the air around them warps subtly when he exerts dominance.
Attire:
The Razorfield gown remains, but now reshaped into something more fitted and intentional — halfway between a syndicate leader’s coat and a ceremonial Proven mantle
When fully manifesting authority, the fabric stiffens as if reinforced by invisible force, rippling with suppressed momentum
He looks young.
He feels inevitable.
Damian’s abilities are not miraculous — they are systematic. Every power reinforces control, momentum, and hierarchy.
Damian operates far beyond superhuman thresholds, even when not consciously channeling power.
Strength: Capable of lifting, striking, and restraining at levels that distort local physics
Speed: Movements appear instantaneous at close range; kinetic wake effects often trail behind him
Durability: His body absorbs impact by dispersing force internally rather than resisting it outright
Reflexes: Predictive, sharpened by criminal instinct and Proven perception
These traits scale upward automatically with his loyalty-based powers.
This is Damian’s signature domain — the power that defines him as Proven of Power.
He can:
Absorb kinetic energy from:
Impacts
Motion
Explosions
Even emotional surges (panic, riots, mass movement)
Store that energy within his body, tattoos acting as conduits and capacitors
Redirect or release it as:
Devastating strikes
Shockwaves
Directional blasts
Momentary acceleration or deceleration of objects or people
Advanced expressions include:
Stillness Fields: Cancel motion in a localized area
Momentum Theft: Steal movement from opponents mid-action
Authority Blows: Strikes that carry command — targets feel compelled to submit or kneel after impact
To Damian, violence is not chaos — it is applied momentum.
At the center of Damian’s existence is the Criminal Core, a metaphysical engine forged from loyalty, hierarchy, and belief enforced through fear and order.
Effect:
The more individuals who are loyal to Damian, the stronger he becomes.
Loyalty does not require love — only submission, trust, or belief in his rule
Each loyal individual adds weight to his presence, durability, strength, and authority
At small scales, this is noticeable
At massive scales — planetary loyalty — Damian approaches near-unstoppable Proven dominance
He does not draw strength from worship.
He draws it from organization.
A disciplined criminal empire is more valuable to him than a religion.
Damian possesses the innate ability to assign ranks, formalizing loyalty into structure.
Normally this manifests as divine parchment
Damian, rejecting archaic symbolism, manifests it as a spectral smartphone
The screen scrolls endlessly
Names appear only when loyalty is sincere
Ranks cannot be falsified or stolen
Rank Structure (Mafia-Style):
Associate
Soldier
Capo
Underboss
Consigliere
Boss
Each rank allows Damian to bestow a portion of his Proven power onto the individual:
Enhanced strength, speed, resilience
Partial access to kinetic manipulation
Authority over lower ranks
Cost:
Every empowerment diminishes Damian’s personal power proportionally.
However —
Damian cannot permanently die so long as at least one ranked loyalist remains alive.
Upon destruction, his essence recoils into the Criminal Core
He will reincarnate through a surviving ranked individual, overwriting their form or emerging from them
Higher-ranked loyalists accelerate resurrection and restore more power
This makes assassination meaningless unless:
His organization is dismantled
Or all ranked members are destroyed
To kill Damian Carrow, one must destroy the idea of him, not the body.
Over-empowering lieutenants can leave Damian personally vulnerable
Betrayal causes violent backlash within the Criminal Core
Lawful Evil constraint: he cannot empower chaos — loyalty must be structured
His youthful form causes enemies to underestimate him — once
Damian is not a god of love.
Not a god of justice.
He is the god of organized survival.
Where saints fail, he enforces.
Where chaos breeds extinction, he builds hierarchy.
And where gods rely on faith…
Damian relies on loyalty written in blood and law.
