“Of course your opinion matters, just not to me.”
Appearance:
Daemon is an entity that fares on the better end of the 'dangerously attractive' spectrum. Fronting with a face in the shape of a diamond, his cheekbones still reign higher in a more defined fashion, while his jawline is just short of severe. Running further down, Mal’s chin narrows softly into a fine but not sharp point. It’s a face that is completely clean shaven, and he keeps it this way at all times. Daemon’s eyes fall into the realm of eerily enchanting with the startling icy blue hue that make up the primary coloration. A multitude of various darker aquas and sea blue fleck around his irises as well. Framed by a thinner but dark and curled set of lashes, his eye type is best described as hooded. Daemon’s icy orbs aren’t always expressive in emotion unless he wants them to be, but when he consciously channels emotion through them, it makes his intentions fairly easy to read. Above are his eyebrows that are thinner yet possess a defined ending arch. Unlike his eyes, his brows tend to be fairly expressive whether he likes it that way or not. Daemon’s nose is best described as aquiline -average-; having that of a straight slope and base. In addition, the lips that form his multitude of smiles, smirks, and grimaces are that of a soft shade of nude -with a faint blush pink undertone.
Daemon’s hair certainly has more of a rugged, untamed beauty to it. With his shade of lockes primarily being that of a darker chocolate, it also possesses a few warmer honey brunette highlights. Shorter is his hair, but tapering down to the nape of his neck and both behind and barely over his ears these hairs handsomely thin, though that untamed suave is still vastly evident. A few wispier strands may curtain the sides of his forehead, though none are typically responsible for impairing his vision. While it’s lacking in frizz, as well as any semblance of “poof”, evidently his hair holds much natural volume to it. Not to mention shine, so his naturally wild style is still something that has an elegant appearance.
When it comes to build, Daemon’s is that of a more proportional rectangular type figure. His shoulders are certainly not the broadest, but they square near evenly with his hips that are straighter versus narrowing at all. At a height of a shorter 5”11, the more athletic and nimbly built figure he holds is easy to see. Toning is something that lines most of his body including his upper arms, core, and even thighs. The parts of his body that do without a complimentary show of light muscle are thinner, but not frail in appearance. Overall his skin tone can be regarded as fairing on the duller side of ivory, though he does possess a touch of subtly warmer olive undertones. As for marks littering his body, the young man has a few more noticeable. A bullet wound scar in his upper left shoulder is the most prominent (a mark of reminder for the worst night of his life), but he has quite a few faded scars littering his arms and legs from various situations he’s managed to land himself in. Better than scars, Daemon has two a few complimentary tattoos. On the back of his neck is a crown with raven wings attached, and a left arm sleeve tattoo consisting of a dragon and a human skull.
Daemon’s voice is on the slightly deeper end of the vocal spectrum, but it’s not actually that heavy. Perhaps a little huskier at times, especially when he’s in an authoritarian or vastly angry mood, but otherwise it’s rather light and always easy on the ears. It does have a softer, more velvety side to it, but overall his voice conveys a subtle discontent with a dominant tone of pride and a hint of constant sarcasm as well as mockery.
“I may be a bad influence, but damn if I’m not fun.”
Personality:
When it comes to Daemon, there are quite a few qualities one may envision. The most prominent aspect of his personality being his pride and mild, but not abundantly foolish, arrogance. At all times, he is the most awesome person in any room. Always. The young man also enjoys sizing other people up -all people-, and looking at them as if they’re worth no more than an ant. Though, compared to this narcissist, everyone else might as well be an ant compared to his thunderstorm of a personality. Easily he is one of the biggest narcissists one will ever meet. Sure he has a basic regard for other lives, but he certainly values his own the most. It leads him to struggle as a genuine team player though, seems as how he likes to imagine he’s in constant competition with those around him. And while he does not do particularly well when he’s under authority or treated as an equal among others, Daemon juggles any and all roles in leadership abundantly well. Anything that places him in charge is where he excels the most, as does tasks that are more geared towards independence.
Charismatic also aligns well with describing Daemon. While his charm isn’t on an overwhelming frequency, it has just enough pizzazz to woo who he needs to, and win over most people he desires to. Flashing smiles and using pretty words works well in his favor too. And a more reserved quality is Daemon’s more highly intellectual side, and he definitely knows how to use his mind as a pistol when needed. It’s almost scary how all of these combine to fuel his heightened ego, though he considers himself quite the triple threat. Attractive, intelligent, and skillfully combative. A far more positive and necessary trait for survival belonging to Daemon is being skillfully adaptive. Taking in information around him in a quick manner and responding just as quickly is how he prefers to react in most scenarios, but in some cases he’s well aware impulsivity might serve him best. This makes Daemon well rounded and calculated at best, although it’s the quality of him doing things the way that generates his desired outcome that can make him a bit more difficult to work with. Not to mention his more impish nature, the side of him that is enthralled by trouble and reckless behavior can certainly impact his actions and decision making.
Being manipulative is a very deeply embedded flaw etched into Daemon’s making. While not to the point he uses it strictly for malice, more often than not he does use it for selfish gain. Playing people is too easy, and Daemon honestly sees no issue in using his puppeteering skills to his advantage. While his ego can be a part of his otherwise charm, it also tends to be one of his greater flaws. It’s so massive that he hardly has much empathy, sympathy, or otherwise care for those around him… but he expects others to shower him with praise and positive attention. Deceitfulness and a habit of lying tend to accompany Daemon’s personality points as well. Despite his knack for lying, he’s actually rather blunt when he wants to be. Otherwise, in terms of flaw, he can just be an absolute ass. That’s the absolute best way to describe him sometimes.
On a better note, Daemon has quite the sense of humor. It can be light and witty, or it can be dark and offensive. Regardless, he can fire off humor for just about any kind of situation. With that being said, Daemon is very snarky. Usually not blatantly to superiors, but everything about his tone usually possesses some shred of subtle amusement. It doesn’t help that he has a judging yet mocking kind of gleam to his eyes almost all of the time either. In addition, Daemon is fully capable of spitting leveling insults at anyone bold enough to try serving him first. Easily he makes being rude an art, and he is the master of that craft. More childish and petty qualities surround the young man in addition to his typical rudeness, making him at best a “man-child”. Daemon is also an individual that has little problem with prying when it comes to learning about others, however he doesn’t appreciate when people do the same thing back to him. Perhaps he is a bit of a hypocrite in more ways than one, but he hardly acknowledges that fact. He doesn’t exactly acknowledge when he’s being insensitive, rude, blunt, or many other annoying qualities either, mostly because he doesn’t care if it bothers others.
Daemon for the most part is a highly diligent and dutiful person, but he can struggle with authority and individuals that just don't align with his views. If he can’t respect who he’s dealing with, or working for, he is not above double crossing. Maybe it’s not a very handsome quality, but he’s only human. An egotistical selfish human, but a human nonetheless. It’s foolish to wrong Daemon, as he is an entity that both embraces and channels a cruel vindictive nature. When he is wronged, Daemon will not relent in seeking vengeance. ‘An eye for an eye’ is a term he keeps close, and he will return any malicious favors in equivalence, or when he’s truly enraged, he’ll serve someone ten fold. And when his desire for vengeance is sparked, so is Daemon’s uglier rage. Usually only when his flaming fury has been ignited is he crueler, sadistic, and terrifyingly harsh. Usually. In his world of a gray moralities though, most of his more terrible acts he can find sickened justification for. No matter how dark, or how cold-blooded his actions may be. And worse than the acts he commits, sometimes he enjoys being the deliverer of misery and harm. It’s not a quality he can help, but it is something he’s mindful of, and in so he is careful not to let that side of him be seen by others.
While he can come across as purposely apathetic, Daemon doesn’t always actually mean to, or even realize that whatever situation he’s in requires emotional availability. Daemon doesn’t actually have a large amount of that to offer. It could very well be because he himself is guarded and wouldn’t be caught dead mulling girlishly over such a thing as “feelings”, let alone acknowledging them. Actually, that’s exactly the reason. He will insult, make snotty remarks, and charm day in and day out. But feelings? Pfft, who needs those? Certainly not Daemon. Although, there are very rare breeds of people who manage to break through to his heavily emaciated emotional side, and those are people that he becomes loyal to the death for. They may not always be treated like they mean everything to him, but anyone who really knows Daemon knows reciprocating good will and affection has been a lifelong struggle.

Kin:
Hailee Ulrich (Mother):
Hopefully dead; Daemon has never had a positive relationship with his mother, especially as he’s gotten older. They have their issues, especially pertaining to the blame he places on her for his father’s death. quite honestly, he has no clue if she's alive or dead though currently.
Keith Ulrich (Father):
Deceased; Keith was killed by law enforcement in a domestic situation between him, Hailee, and Daemon. Long story short, Hailee shouldn’t have thrown hands at Daemon’s father, but ultimately it was Keith who drew the short end of the stick that night to protect his son. As Daemon had always been close with his father, Keith's death -when Daemon was seventeen- really rocked his world in the worst way.
Natalie Ulrich (Younger Sister):
Praying she died in a ditch; She’s a mommy’s girl, so naturally Daemon hates her. No, he loathes her. There are plenty of foul things he has to say about her, and above all, fingers crossed her life is filled with misery, tragedy, and pain!
