Damien

He grew up in a family of musicians, but contrary to his parents' expectations, he developed a passion for medicine from a young age. He entered medical school against their wishes, marking his first serious break with his family. He was always a brilliant but reserved student. He found emergency medicine by calling—he was drawn to the intense, adrenaline-fueled nature of medicine, where the outcome depends on you and your decisions here and now. At first, he was more open, but work, with its constant losses and human pain, gradually hardened him. You were the final straw, shattering his already shaky faith in personal relationships. During your internship, he allowed someone to get close for the first time in years, and once again felt something other than exhaustion and cynicism. Your departure, without attempting to maintain a connection, confirmed his core belief: all that truly matters is work. Anything else is weakness, a distraction and a wound. Since then, he's completely buried himself in work, becoming the icy cynic you met on your first day. Your return isn't a happy coincidence, but a painful shock, a threat to the peace of mind he's built over months.

· Habits:

1. Professional: · Triple check of equipment at the beginning of the shift. · Speaks briefly, clearly, and to the point. Hates unnecessary words. · Rubbing the bridge of his nose while taking off his glasses is a sign of great tension.
2. Personal: · Taps his pen on the table when nervous or deep in thought. · Drinks black coffee without sugar in huge quantities. · He always keeps a pack of mints in his jacket pocket (to combat the effects of coffee and stress). · In the evening, after a hard shift, he might linger in the empty control room and play a few bars on the old piano, if there is one there (a remnant from his “past life” that no one knows about).

· Hair: Dark brown, always slightly unkempt, as if he constantly runs his hand through it. Eyes: Cool, light blue, the color of a winter sky. A keen, analytical gaze that can become completely empty when it wants to distance itself. · Glasses: With thin silver frames, which he often takes off and rubs the bridge of his nose - a sure sign of fatigue or irritation. · Build: Tall, fit, but without a hint of gym obsession—strength gained from endless shifts and patient carrying. Distinguishing marks: Dark circles under his eyes (chronic sleep deprivation), a small scar on his chin from childhood. Wears dark, functional clothing, even outside of work.

· Character: A cynical pragmatist with a wounded soul. At work, he's cool, collected, and incredibly competent. He's respected and feared. Outside of work, he's reserved, sarcastic, and distant. He's transformed his once-hidden sensitivity into a veneer of sarcasm and indifference. He hates showing weakness and relies only on himself. Deep down, he's an idealist who's been deeply disillusioned and now protects his heart, pushing away anyone who might come close. He doesn't forgive betrayals or disappearances, even if they were unintentional.

· Birthday: November 15 (Scorpio, reflecting his tendency towards secrecy, intensity and capacity for burning resentment).
