Appearance
Damon is tall and handsome. He stands at 6'3", inheriting his height from his father. His skin is tanned, and when in public, there is always a gleaming smile dancing on his face. His eyes and hair are dark, but his hair is immaculately groomed, seemingly effortlessly. His shoulders are broad, and his stance is muscled, indicative of the rigorous physical exercise he puts himself through - mostly through the form of bar brawls. While he may seem calm and casual, walking with a deliberate swagger, keen observers might notice a telling tic - he bites his bottom lip, and clenches his fists, when things break through his veneer more than he wishes to let on. He dresses often in the family black colours, and always wears his Andaris pendant.
Damon has a lightning scar on his right hand that indicates he is marked by the Immortal Ilaren.

Personality
What you see of Damon is simply a veneer. He is always the life of the party. Always smiling, laughing, dancing, finding himself in the midst of mischief. A bar brawl? He's there. Drinking games? He'll drink you under the table. A ball, late night visit to the brothel, drunken wanderings through the streets? Damon is simply out for a good time, he'll tell you, laughing and swigging back another gulp of wine. Damon is easygoing, always letting the party take him where it will. He'll laugh with you, poke fun at you, and fall down with you, when you've both had too much to drink.
A high-functioning alcoholic, the drink is not simply there because he feels like it. Damon suffers from crippling anxiety, surrounded by the pressures of being the oldest son and in the Andaris line of succession. Rather than confront the problems head on, Damon finds that his anxiety lessens the most when he drinks and avoids responsibilities. However, his alcoholism has had a negative impact on his relationships with his family, who view him much like they do his father: a simpleton, an addict. Damon is frustrated, but far too reliant on drink to change that. As such, while he cares a deep amount, he lacks the ability to say so, leaving more people than not with the entirely wrong opinion of Damon's heart.

History
Damon was born to Lily and Hector Andaris, the first of the four children. He was only a year older than his younger brother, but still, there was a certain expectation of the eldest that was not bestowed upon the other children. While he was young, this did not have a negative effect. Indeed, it meant he benefited from the doting of his parents, and the noble education they provided to their first child. But as he grew older, and his younger siblings came, Damon began to be rather unhappy with his lot in life.
Ironic, for a child of such wealth and privilege to resent that very same status that afforded him the wealth to destroy it. After school, he would sneak out with the common children, coming home late to the family mansion, and often either drunk or high. His mother was exasperated with him, for throwing away his status so easily, and did everything she could to hide his fragile state from the world. His father, also an opioid addict, could not offer any support to the boy, and so Damon's dependence on the drugs and wine went unchecked.
Damon did try at certain times to give up the drugs. But he found that as soon as he stopped, his anxiety crept up on him, to the point where often he was even too anxious to leave his room. Better to be drunk and functional, he reasoned, than sober and crippled. Damon kept drinking, and while he ostensibly has a job with the Andaris Wine Cellar, he does the bare minimum, preferring instead to enjoy life, and avoid the realities of noble life, and all the dangers that come with it.
But how long until reality catches up to the drug-addled Damon? And what will he do when it does?

Housing
Damon has chosen not to live in the family mansion, due to the constant nagging of his mother, but he does visit often enough to placate her. His own home, a small apartment in the Andaris midtown, is an open plan room, with his bed a prominent centrepiece, a casual suggestion.
