Overview
Alias(es): Amen, Damon Sinclaire
Real Name: Unknown
Age: Late twenties
Concept: Merchant of Petals
Entitlement: None known
Physical description: Amen's mask is that of a remarkably attractive man who seems the embodiment of indolence. Everything about him seems lazily hedonistic, from his bored stares to the heady, almost sopophoric scent of sandalwood that emanates from him. This is occasionaly belied however, whilst lounging in the corner, he will occasionally be caught studying someone most intently. In his Mien, Amen seems... Delicious. His skin seems at times like that of an exceedingly succulent peach, his violet eyes make you think if only you plucked them out, they would taste of juicy blackberries. Around his eyes, his skin blooms into flower petals appropriate to the season.
Mantle: Amen's mantle manifests as pollen. Those with hayfever descend into sneezing fits around him. But it also instills an unseen feeling of productivity, the pollen in the air evokes the feelings of possibility and life to those near.

Background:
Motley
Amen does not belong to a motley. He is a solitary flower. If this is choice or simply circumstance is unknown.
Allies
Rosie - Rosie works in Amen's florist part time, to help her adjust to the mortal world and give her a mundane constant to work with.
Shard - As a fellow Monarch of the new era, Amen holds to Shard in a fragile alliance, for necessity if nothing else.
Carin - Not allies as such. Amen rarely agrees with Carin's actions, but he recognises the strong ties to the Spring court that Carin has made.
Zenica - Zen often seems to be the only member of her motley that Amen happily acknowledges. Perhaps this due to their 'unsavory' dealings or another matter.

Quotes
- He's pretty...so pretty...but not easy to understand. He's given me a chance at being something more than a doll though, and I'm grateful for that. - Rosie

- "For someone who smells like flowers Amen is very good at dancing. Plus he always look in control, or quiet and amused, I like him and he good friend to motley and Archduke" -Drago Dokic
- "I can not find it in me to walk the path he has chosen, but then he wears the green to my red. I can admire his strength in following his road, and the dedication he displays.

- "It just goes to show - never listen to rumour when you should judge a person for yourself. He's a good man, and I'm grateful to him for everything he's done." - Aria
