Personality: Despite having recently lost memories, most of Damus's persona is still intact, though there are several notable changes.  For starters, his indecent behavior towards women, as well as minx and other races has changed from being taunting, manipulative, and sadistic; to quiet, nervous, and on occasion frightful especially towards seductive women regardless of race.  Formerly he was highly racist, but it seems as though classist has now become a more definable trait for him.  Some of his Sadistic nature has still seeped through, though it's mostly focused now towards those who wrong him, rather than to everyone around him who's either a woman or of a different race.  Outside of these changes, most of Damus Nostra's personality remains intact, including his desire for status, money, strength, and power; a disregard for those below him; and a typical rich boy attitude that tends to follow him; though his fight with the Sea King seems to have humbled him; perhaps causing these traits to be less intense than before.  If guided properly he could become a proper noble in the future, or even officer of the Navy.

Personal Goal/Dream: 
Once he's finished with his tour of duty, Damus intends to track down....... Track down...... Who was he going to find?  He can't remember for some reason; so for now he'll focus on something else.  He wants to end his tour of duty and take the family mantle from his father to live his life in luxury.

Defining Moment: 
Damus Nostra woke up in a holding cell.  For a while, he laid there, attempting to recall..... something.  He felt like it was important; but he couldn't recall it.... after a bit, he remembered a few things; from his name, his favorite activities, parents, and even his values.  Of course he also remembered his naval training, as well as the words from his father that day......

"Son, it's a family tradition that all the Men of the Nostra Household serve in the Marines for a full term.  That's four years.  I will not pass the title of this house to you before then."  The old man had been stubborn, and no matter what Damus had attempted he couldn't achieve his goals.  So he vented for several years,...... doing what?  He couldn't remember exactly.... he felt like he should, but instead his head ached as well as his wounds... Wounds he had no recollection of until he remembered being attacked by a Sea King.  Of course it was a fresh surprise when he found out that his embezzlement of confiscated weapons was discovered.  He felt irritated that he was losing his property, but he didn't have the status or rank to do anything; so while he admitted to embezzlement he was confused about charges of torture, illegal slavery, and manipulating a superior officer.  After some investigation, it was deemed that he had repressed memories.  What's more, his family had bailed him out of the situation; only further confusing him.  So... he simply decided that since his last year in the navy was around the corner, he'd just deal with it as an ensign once more.  How hard can it be?

Haki:

Combat Style:
Damus Nostra utilizes the Nostra Spear style, one of the family techniques that combines spear-manship with the power and accuracy of Javelin throwing.  While Damus is capable of defending himself and using a spear in close quarters to a fair degree, it's his skill and almost monstrous technique and strength in his throwing skills that he prides himself on.  Usually he attempts to engage at medium distance for the best results, using defensive techniques with his spear to create just enough distance to keep himself out of harms way, while waiting for opportunities to strike back.  If he gets the chance, he'll perform sneak attacks if he can get away with it, but otherwise his combat style is more akin to a sniper than a commando. That said, recently he has become fearful of women and worse of Minx when fighting them.  It's gotten to the point where he refuses to fight, opting to run away as oppose to engaging such threats.  Of course, if push comes to shove, he will fight when cornered by a wall, or worse his commanding officer.  He can't bring himself to do anything more than disable these individuals rather than cripple them like he does with most of his opponents.  When he can't fight an opponent, he'll try to use his charms to talk down, or convince them that he's more than they can handle and that surrender is the best option as he'll be merciful.

There is one exception to all of this.  He'll often become enraged towards those who harm his servants or loyal followers if they are of lower rank or criminals; or hold deep grudges towards those who are of higher rank or status.  

Techniques:

Spiral Spear:
Damus launches a spear with all of his might and using the Nostra Spear Style he adds a powerful and deadly spin to it, not only increasing it's accuracy, but also it's destructive power by adding speed and accuracy to it. To some it almost seems like a shooting star at night. 

Winding Twirl:
Damus twirls his spear in an attempt to create a defensive barrier around himself by twisting and twirling the spear at blinding speeds around himself as he spins.  He can use to parry his opponent and possibly knock their weapon away with a flourish.  He cannot sustain this move for long, as he'll risk disarming himself; and often times it uses a fair amount of stamina.  Usually a last ditch effort when surrounded or facing a faster close range opponent.

Meteor Thrust:
A unique technique that Damus has created on his own surprisingly.  Performing a normal underhanded thrust, Nostra actually releases the spear with and explosive underhanded throw, before grabbing hold of the very end of the spear at the last second.  The force is enough that it almost feels as if the user was struck by a meteor of some kind.  If Damus is struck in the middle of this attack, or is interrupted, he can lose the spear as it flies away.
