Damon Salvatore
---- THE BASICS
Character's Full Name: Damon Salvatore
Nicknames and Aliases: I'm sure he gets called TONS of names, but the only thing he'll respond to is Damon or 'D'
Age: Born on July 28, 1840 Damon is 172 years old, though he appears no older that mid to late twenties.
Species: Vampire
Played By: Ian Somerhalder
Appearance: Damon Salvatore embodies the description devil may care. He is strikingly handsome with hair the color of a raven; a bluish black that seems to catch the light and change depending on the angle. It is somewhat longer on top and at times appears to have a mind of its own. His handsome and somewhat pale visage usually wears a sarcastic smirk; his intense crystalline eyes often widen in amusement or narrow with wrath.
Damon is tall and sinewy; well defined without too much of the 'bulk'. His attire usually consists of black, whether the man is dressed up in tailored slacks and button-down shirt to well-fitting jeans and tee-shirts. It really depends on his mood, because no matter what he wears he’ll look good in it.
He is hardly ever seen without his leather jacket and he -always- wears a Lapis Lazuli ring that enables him to walk in daylight without being harmed.
Personality: He might be bad, but he's perfectly good at it.
On the outside this handsome vampire appears confident and arrogant. He wants what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it. He knows he's right, and that he looks better than you, and he's pretty damn sure he can get your girlfriend's phone number by the end of the night. She'd never cheat? For him, she would. -wink-
Damon is very charming and persuasive, and will use his looks and charisma to get his way, though won’t think twice about using his powers to compel you if the aforementioned don’t work.
His behaviors border on sociopathic at times, as he feels there is nothing wrong with doing a little bad in order help his endeavors and often shows no remorse for taking the life of another.
The vampire does not spare his trust for anyone, as there are only a few that he believes in, and even this wavers with his moods.
For all his dry humor and seemingly uncaring behavior, within the man is forlorn and isolated. He craves an acceptance he has never known, is loyal to those he cares for, and would die for them, if it came down to it.
He desperately adores Elena, but loves his brother as well and reveres him too greatly to jeopardize the relationship. In addition to the loyalty he feels towards his younger brother Damon feels that he does not deserve Elena, though Stephan does.

---- ROLE PLAY SAMPLE
Damon rolled his lucid blue eyes at the crowd gathered in and around the Grill. It was Friday night so of course it was going to be busy, but even knowing that prior to coming to the popular hang out, the ever-exasperated vampire was exasperated and not afraid to show everyone in his way exactly how annoyed he was.
Making his way back to the bar the horde parted like Moses and the Red Sea. Good thing too because if he’d had to stop it wasn’t going to be pretty.
At the counter he tilted his chin up in silent greeting to the bartender and leaned against the edge all ‘I’m too important to look at you’ while he ordered his favorite non-plasma beverage.
The amber colored liquid was placed before him a moment later and Damon wrapped his palm around it, tossing the whiskey back with less than a wince before he set the little glass on the counter with a bang to signify he needed another.
“Keep them coming.” The blue eyed male told the guy, who refilled the tumbler and left the bottle before moving off to tend to other patrons.
Lifting the drink to his lips Damon took a more unhurried swallow this time; savoring the taste and the burn down his throat this go around instead of merely tossing the liquor back for the buzz.
The liquid distraction was what he really needed though, so he wasn’t going to try and mentally fool himself into thinking it was for the taste. With wink and a salute to a group of giggly high school girls (still in their cheerleading uniforms, I might add) Damon tilted the tumbler back again, swallowing the spicy fluid and then smiling side-ways at the slow, satisfying fire in his belly.
When Damon felt the familiar pull he tried to ignore it…he really did. Of course, it was always futile.
Glancing back over his shoulder the vampire knew what he would find even before his crystalline eyes fell on her sweet face. She was there, just like he knew she would be, surrounded by friends and smiling faces.
‘Look at me…’
And she did. Without being bound by magic, her soul-filled eyes always turned to his; always burned into his stare so deep he could feel it at the pit of his stomach.
The vampire heaved his gaze away as if it weighed three thousand pounds; turning back to his liquid lifeline and pouring so hastily it ran over and onto the mahogany bar.
There was another pull he could feel deep within; another pair of intense eyes that wrenched his glare towards the window like metal towards a magnet.
His brother was outside, watching…waiting for god knows what. What -was- he waiting for? She was here, waiting for him…he was, he was being a fool.
So why did it always feel like he was the one outside looking in?
