He wrote some songs for Ouro Novo Currently practices Kendo Has been playing drums since he was 11 and Piano since he was 6 Deimos belongs to TheVerdantHawk's story, Verdant Hawk, but also appears in my story, Hellbent, too! Check out his information here! DESIGN BIOGRAPHY Deimos (Greek: Δειμος Κατσαρος) is the drummer of the Pink Top City electro synthpop band, Ouro Novo as well as the drummer of Nuklear Intoxikation. He met the lead singer and guitarist Anthony Ramires when he was 17-years-old. He dropped out of school when he was 16-years-old after his lover and music teacher, Arnold Duerr, committed suicide due to the scandal of their affair. The school prodigy, Ferguson Dettwiler, spied on them and exploited their secret, because “music is not science.” Deimos hated him ever since. Arnold was one of the fewer people to encourage him to pursue his passion: music. In 1985, when Deimos was 21-years-old he was traveling around Selene Valley with Ouro Novo where he met Ivy Ferraro who was 19-years-old at the time. The two hit it off and bonded over their similarities, however, Ivy was dating Larry Wood and Deimos was still grieving his late lover, Arnold. The two kept in touch as pen pals ever since and share a bond. Ivy often complains to him about Larry, and Deimos tries to encourage her to end things with him. Fast forward to 1988, Deimos makes his return to Selene Valley and he is delighted to see Ivy again. He also encounters Craig Medeiros and his thrash metal band, Nuklear Intoxikation when they were put on the bill with Ouro Novo at a nightclub. Craig took a shine to Deimos because he reminded him of the man he loved and lost in ways, but he wasn't anything like Andreas and Deimos gave him the blunt advice that he needed. Deimos was very disappointed to see what Nuklear Intoxikation had become as Craig let Veronika ruin the band. Deimos enjoyed Nuklear Intoxikation prior to that and knew they had talent, so it was an awful shame to see it go to waste. ​ Deimos is an intelligent and pragmatic introvert. He has a low bullshit tolerance and doesn’t take shit off anyone. He doesn’t like to kiss ass and won't stand for anyone's nonsense. This is something both he and Blake connect over. They both enjoy each other's company as they can be honest and open with each other, without having to censor themselves. ​ Deimos has a tough love approach to things and is eager to help those he cares about. He helps Ivy out with her Larry problems and he also helps rebuild Nuklear Intoxikation after their fall out, re-building again and becoming the new drummer of the band. He wishes his fraternal twin brother, Lazaros, would listen to him though. He is currently in a toxic relationship with Jaclyn Kovalenko. He feels that Lazaros and Jaclyn are incompatible and she is abusing him. Jaclyn has her sights set on Deimos but Deimos doesn't reciprocate and sees right through her bullshit.
