Daeshim Moon

daeshim moon was born the child of a succubus and a human man - a man who was married at the time of his conception, but a widower before his birth. growing up he was a quiet boy who was often bullied at school and at home. Dae's older half-brother blamed him for, well, everything and Dae spent most of his childhood trying to stay out of his way

at the age of nine, he found a black wooden box of his mother's possessions, mementos of a woman whose face he could barely remember. dae opened the box and picked up the first of several small objects. he only remembers that it was shiny and star-shaped, and that it burned a hole through the palm of his hand. he remembers the intense pain, feeling like the edges of his soul were on fire. he remembers his brother's angry voice. and then he remembers nothing else.

two years later, he's strapped to a hospital bed and surrounded by priests. what family he had were gone, supposedly abandoning him during the years of what they said was a demonic possession. a less than ideal candidate for foster families or children's homes, he's been raised by one of the priests who drove a demon from his body.

but dae knows that it was there all along.

this and that:

- the "church" and "priests" in control of daeshim are more of a fringe sect within the larger establishment. more than anything they could be considered a doomsday cult rather than the faithful.

- he is somewhat sheltered, but far from naive.

- daeshim's formal education has some gaps here and there.

- he is, however, good with a lot of mundane tasks. he can fix cars, broken toilets, etc.

- he doesn't have a lot of relationships, but he values the few that he does.

- he suffers a little from imposter syndrome where those relationships are concerned, fearing that he will be revealed as someone who's really not meant for such things after all.

- straight-forward. daeshim does everything in his power to keep his promises - he knows he could be good with lies and deception. he doesn't want to be.

- keeps his left hand covered for reasons.

powers:

- mind control (only used on those who try to control him)

- telekineses

- thermokinesis

- his body also holds one of twelve prophesized weapons for bringing about the end times.
