Daemon Everon is a world-renowned, two-time champion in the world of boxing. He's young, he started even younger. Grew up in the ring. Always had a passion for it, though it was less than the talent he possessed. He does what he's good at and sticks with it. That's the kind of man Daemon is— ambitious, not unrealistic. Gets over his head sometimes with his arrogance, usually when he's drunk or high on victory. Even the mightiest have their flaws. The higher they climb, the harder they self-destruct. Daemon is no exception. He's brute, straightforward, and confident by design. There are fractures in the composure. He struggles with comparing himself to others and plays up his own image to conceal the insecurities. He refuses to let them show. Blunt. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, often being impulsive and speaking without first thinking. Persistent. He never gives up. Never. He takes everything as a personal challenge, fuel to the competitive fire he was taught to nurture. Decisive. Always knows what he wants. Always. Doesn't hesitate. Genuine. He doesn't have the energy to pretend he likes someone or something. He'll say it how it is. Diligent, sociable, charming, and free spirited (often recklessly). Cowardly when it comes to anything outside of physical confrontation. He struggles with being vulnerable. Irresponsible. Tends to let things get to his head and slack. Cynical. Tries to be realistic, often ends up being a bummer. He's seen the worst of the world. Evasive. Fear of vulnerability leads to him doing everything he can to hide his insecurities, flaws and struggles. He'd rather drink or smoke than deal with his problems. Wishes he could punch everything away. Boastful. Can be overly proud. Stubborn. Hates being wrong. Hates being told what to do. Inside of the ring, he's focused, channeling all his thoughts and energy into his opponents and training. During press conferences, he cranks the charm up to the maximum, smiles continuously, cracks jokes and plays it cool. That exhausts him, so often he'll immediately go home, collapse, have a drink, or do literally anything to start himself back up from zero. His fear of vulnerability isn't a quirk— it was taught to him, by his parents and the adults that raised him. Humanity is a weakness. Boxing is your everything. You cannot make mistakes. This is what you're meant to do, only this. Daemon has spent his entire life not only training physically but learning how to be the perfect version of himself in the spotlight. He's had a lot of pressure on him to be a specific person. Embarrassed: Arrogance meter skyrockets. He acts cocky and defensive to hide it. Frustrated: Becomes aggressive— not towards people, towards objects and in small ways. He'll walk faster. He'll speak louder. He'll try harder to hide it and he'll handle things with more strength without realizing it. Worried: He shows his concern for other people in silent ways. He'll insist on tagging along to run errands or do them instead, buy two coffees and say the second one was a mistake. Affection: Though unafraid when it comes to hookups and casual flings, Daemon is far more conscious with his personal relationships. He's loud and proud about who he loves in private but if it's serious, he'll play it down in the spotlight, half worrying for his reputation, half worrying for privacy. He spoils the people he cares about with gifts and compliments, but struggles with communication. Sad: When Daemon finds himself depressed, he considers it a personal failure. He was raised in a world where emotions are weaknesses and whenever he's feeling down he questions what he did wrong, leading to frustration. He does whatever he can to hide this part of him. When he feels lonely, he'll find the nearest club or bar or hangout spot. When he feels like he's not enough, he'll rewatch old matches, admire his awards, or go out in public at a place he knows he'll be recognized.
