- Damson about Onyx

Damson Shade is an antagonist in Team FLME and a member of the Lower Cabal. He was the third official member and dubbed the master assassin of the group. Damson's weapons of choice are two throwing knives which he uses for hand-to-hand combat as well called Jekyll and Hyde.

Early Years
Little is known about Damson's early life other than he was born on Menagerie with his mother and uncle, Tyrian. His mother died when he was very young and was raised mainly by his uncle Tyrian. Tyrian trained Damson in his form of combat and made Damson into a grand assassin, but also quite insane. Sometime in his life, Damson became a cannibal and ate his opponents placing him prison for life.

However, years later, Damson was freed by his uncle and the two went around as assassins for hire and were proven to be a serious threat to those they were hired to kill. Damson and his uncle were soon found by Salem and Onyx and were recruited into their ranks. Damson then became the third official member of the Lower Cabal.

First Missions
Once Damson was brought into the Lower Cabal, he was assigned to hunt down minor threats of the Cabal or Salem's Faction with quick and relative ease. He was easily able to deal quick blows to the foes of the Cabal and soon was tasked with finding the final member. However, Onyx would find a proper member before hand, thus he continued on his mission of hunting minor threats.

In time he began to hunt down the Winter Maiden per Onyx and Salem's request. However, once Beacon falls, Damson is recalled back to Salem's Domain with Lavenza Volt, Shadow Ombre, and Roz Quarzo.

Meeting with the Lower Cabal
Following the Fall of Beacon, Roz and Shadow retuned to Salem's Domain to report to Onyx about the battle and the failure to kill Isaac and Frederic Scorch. Prior to the meeting, she introduced Lavender to the realm and let her witness the birth and taming of Grimm but Volt and Ombre's forces. While their, she was scolded by Lavenza who claimed that she should have died at Beacon due to failure to kill Isaac. Damson then joins stating that she should hunt Isaac down a rip out his heart for destroying her's. Ombre then joins in stating that it was shameful that she lost to Isaac.

However, prior to her backlash towards the three, she is interrupted by Onyx entering the room and silencing Lavenza's unneeded "belittlement" of Roz. Despite her failing to kill Isaac, she is hailed by Onyx for her efforts in Vale and the role she played in having Taurus' allegiance to Salem. However, due to her defeat by Isaac, she is instructed to remain with Onyx to continue her training to hopefully kill Isaac and later Frederic. This leads Lavender to take over for Roz and Damson to now hunt down Frederic and kill him.

Hunt for Frederic Scorch
Damson was assigned to hunt down and kill Frederic Scorch in place of Roz doing so. He was able to track the boy down to Menagerie and witnessed him defeating Shadow and his fleet of ships. Damson was then recalled by Volt to assist him in destroying Furno Village.

Lavenza and Damson also lead an attack on Furno Village with Ombre's troops in hopes of collecting test subjects for Volt's experiments. Volt and his troops marched through the main passageway and killed the guards overlooking the path. When the army arrived at the village, Lavenza said no words with his troops looking and standing at the ready. When Volt was question by Azula's father, Lavenza simply raised a hand and the attack began.

Damson and the troops charged in attacking all in their path. Lavenza then began to walk through the town and soon released Grimm into the town to finish off the civilians. Damson counties to kill several guards and civilians, even children via strangling them with his tail and fist. He then pushed forward to the last few guards and with Volt the two killed the last remaining enemy troops. Damson then went to local towns to tried and find Fred and his team again.

- Damson to Fred

Personality
Damson appears to be a highly unstable and maladjusted individual. He frequently bursts into fits of uncontrollable, maniacal laughter and relishes in gruesome thoughts, such as removing Isaac Scorch's heart to get back at him for Roz. He also expresses extreme glee when it comes to a hunt or killing of people, mainly that of children or a younger crowd. Another one of his eccentricities is sitting in a crouching position in his chair, much like his uncle.

He finds amusement in killing and taunting his opponents in the middle of combat as he did so when he was attacked by the guards of Furno Village and a local huntsman. When he appears to have the upper hand in a fight he becomes unwary, causing him to take unnecessary hits. He also has a flair for the dramatic, wildly posturing and gesturing with deliberate dramatic pauses as if he were giving a stage performance.

Physical Appearance
Damson is a tall, lightly tanned man with bright blue eyes and a blacked colored mohawk like haircut that leads down into a mullet. He wears two small belts around his underarm and shoulder with a gray and white buckles on each. His arms are covered with purple bandages and leather vambraces. His emblem can be seen as a tattoo on his left breast. He wears a black jacket around his waist with white colored laces around the sleeves of the jacket. He wears a white colored belt around his waist and has a small black colored lemur tall below his belt.

He wears a pair of dark purple pair of pants. He also wears leather boots covering his entire shin with knee guards. He also wears a gray strap with a single plat of armor on his right leg. When he attacked Furno Village and hunts Frederic Scorch, Damson can be seen wearing a hooded cloak.

Weapon
Damson Shade's weapons of choice are two throwing knives called Jekyll and Hyde. Damson uses his knives for quick strikes and hacking away at opponents. Damson can also use his knives as throwing knives which give him an extra range in combat and can easily cut throw other metals, including armor. His weapons can also become pistols and rapidly fire off ballistics for a solid long ranged attack.

Fighting Style
Damson's fighting style is similar to his uncle, Tyrian, style. is extremely quick, able to dash behind an opponent and attack in the blink of an eye. He is also strong enough to throw fully armored soldiers with his tail and use it as an extra limb, like a monkey would do in the wild. he is incredibly combat efficient, is smart enough to know which targets to prioritize.

Semblance
Damson's semblance allows him to duplicate himself in order to overwhelm his opponents while in combat or to distract them. It is unknown as to how many clones he can make of himself but it appears to be no more than three. Unlike many though, he can make clones while moving at extreme speeds.
