Description

Daniel stands at a lanky 6 feet tall, appearing to weigh no more than 150 lbs. His hair is a reddish brunette hue and is cut so that it just reaches his earlobes, barely masking two rather plain piercings. He wears a pair of generic sunglasses whenever the opportunity presents itself. Hidden behind said sun glasses are a pair of blue eyes that seem to fit his complexion which jumps between pale and varying shades of red depending on the season.

Outside of the piercings and sunglasses, his wardrobe is usually drab, mostly consisting of long sleeve shirts and jeans. He speaks with a thick Bostonian accent. After the experiment, he found that he had control over the element of water.

Daniel is 20 years old.

Personality

Calm, fearless and deceivingly intelligent would be the best way to describe Daniel when his less than admirable traits fail to show up. More often that not, he's a mixture of those and more negative traits that include a predisposition to lying without even realizing it himself. He's incredibly fond of liquor, and some stronger, less legal mood inhibitors. On any given night, one may find Dan under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs, and occasionally cocaine. Due to this, mood fluctuations are expected among those closest to him.

Equipment

-A lighter, more specifically a zippo with a Boston Bruins' logo on the front.
-A small, dulled pocketknife, kept around for show more than anything.
-Cigarettes, usually the cheapest available.
-Keys to a '98 Honda Civic Hatchback.

History

Daniel grew up in Seabrook, New Hampshire, born and raised around boats, becoming a fixture on his father's charter company until he was a teenager. Once he hit 14, Dan began drinking, and taking his mother's Xanax when alcohol was unavailable. When he was 16, his mother found out about his drug abuse and subsequently sent him to live with her brother, a veteran of the Vietnam war. Her hopes that the man's hardboiled nature would scare him straight were destroyed when he sent her a few pictures of his debauchery in Manchester, Kansas. Daniel became rather popular with less than savory types, yet he still found himself functioning rather well for a supposed deadbeat, going so far as to get a well paying job at an autobody shop.

Of course, the experiment could turn all of that upside down.
