# Blames himself for his long term girlfriend's death
"I should have done more. She was sick and I knew that, but I didn't help out enough. My parent's and even her parent's say that I did enough, but to me I feel like I didn't. I did not do enough and it's my fault she's dead... isn't it?"
# Often dazes off
"It just happens. While I may still be doing something, walking, doing chores, or swinging on a porch swing I just daze off into thought. If you are talking to me I will only hear bits and parts of it, and if I do that to you then I'm sorry."

Personality
|| Kind/Caring || Protective || Strong Willed || Romantic || Competitive || Trust Issues || Quiet ||
First off you should know that Daniel is actually really kind. Daniel likes to include people, help them out, and just be nice to them when he can. Learning from experience he noticed that he hasn't always treated people nicely and after losing someone he loved he changed. He has become just this kind, and caring individual because he knows that it could make a difference. You never really know what people could be going through and what could happen to them soon. They could be gone and you would feel terrible about anything you have said or done so Daniel makes sure to keep himself in check and be kind to as many people as he can. Which brings me to the part about how he is caring, he likes to help people out when possible, and has been seen as kind of like just this caring male. Another detail to him is that he is well... protective. He doesn't take people hurting those he cares about too kindly and will do what he can to protect them if he feels it is necessary. If someone he cares about is being put down or hurt he would stand up for them and jump into the rescue unless they didn't want him to. Yet another detail is that he is strong willed, and this can be kind of taken as a bit stubborn. If he has his mind set on doing something he will do it, not caring what other people may say to him or try to instruct him. Once he becomes determined to do something almost no one can get in his way to stop him from doing what is on his mind unless it is off course, ridiculous.
Daniel is also seen as well Romantic even though Daniel disagrees many of the girls before his long term girlfriend have mentioned how much of a romantic male he can been. Now not to the point where it becomes like this sappy romance story, yes he will bring flowers to a girl he likes, or will take her out to eat every now and again but not to the point where its like some kind of sappy romance movie. It just a few nice, romantic things here and there. That's it. Also another detail to his personality is how he is pretty competitive and can be a little bit of a sore loser. When competing against other's he does his very best to win, and when he doesn't win he doesn't take it too easily. Long story short, he isn't too much of a fan of losing and it is quite obvious when he does lose. Yet another detail is that Daniel has well... a bit of trust issues. Here is why: Many people have let him down and he doesn't really like to trust as easy not just because he is afraid to be disappointed again but also because he has never really like trusted people easy. He feels like you shouldn't trust people easily because not only will many people let you down, but because a lot of people you think are your friends will jut end up stabbing you in the back. Which finally brings me to the last thing about him which is that he is quite. He likes to keep to himself most of the time. He used to be this bubbly person but he just kind stayed to himself more and more. Now he just prefers to stay quite and to himself then to really open up to others. It's just the way he is.

History
Daniel was born in this small town and has lived in the same small town for his entire life. He was born to two well known adults. Kari Torres and Andrew Torres. Daniel also has a younger sister and an older brother who has his own house and wife at the moment. Anyways, Daniel at a young age was always pushed to do good things. His parent's always tried to get him to be good at almost everything he did that is why when he got into school he rarely had time to do any kid things due to the fact that his parent's pushed him to do great in not only school but several sports that they put him in. They pushed him to do great, getting trainers, and such to help him do the work. For years and years they pushed him to do nothing but great. Obviously by his teens years he rebelled a bit, throwing everything off with his family. They constantly gave him lectures for his terrible grades, blaming him for everything. For a while he was a player, he had bad grades, and even became a bit depressed because he felt like he wasn't good enough. Of course just like most people he picked himself up once again, being the same competitive person although he did a lot less sports.
He stuck with just boxing for now, and soon enough he met the one person he really cared about. He met a girl named Anna it was kind of jut like this romantic story between them. They were always together and when ever they had free time they worked together. Just like most young relationships they were torn apart, no not by another person but by his girlfriend becoming very sick. It devastated the couple and for a while Daniel tried his best to do almost anything for his girlfriend but after a while she just became so sick that she passed away and there was nothing more he could do. For a long time he blamed himself but now a year later he has learned to just move on. While he is upset Anna is no longer around with him he has always tried to move on and doesn't cry. At least he hadn't cried until one day when a family member during an argument brought up her death. He got angry, and so sad that he just ran away. He ran away from his problem from once in his life and this is when he took the subway to just get away. This was when the wreck happened and some how he survived. He believed he shouldn't have but afterwards it made him think in all the chaos. Just barley escaping death he ran home to his family only to discover they weren't there. Finally after a day maybe two of just walking around, trying to figure out what was going on 'The Traveler' stopped him and gave him his ring that has a bloodstone gem in it.
