"I didn't ask for anything. Now I have to deal with it."
Personality:
Danny is a nerdy, fun-loving, calm, smart, and insecure guy. He loves just about anything nerdy, this includes movies, games, comics, and tv shows. He is a very kind guy who genuinely wants to help people. He is plagued with insecurities due to his childhood, but he tries his best to hide it. He has a knack for remaining cool under pressure. He does hold some guilt over what happened to the cultists, his friends, and releasing the gods, piling on to his already tons of insecurities. And he will try his best to make up for what he's done. Since he gained his powers he has started a spiral down to depression. He's having a hard time dealing with everything that has happened to him, but he hides it well.
His likes include anything nerdy, sweets, waffles, and dogs. His dislikes include being forced to do something he doesn't want to do (which is all the time), cats(because he's allergic), and being counted on. As you can tell he doesn't really like his new position, but begrudgingly accepts it.

History:
Danny was born and raised in Boston to a very successful lawyer, and a housewife. He's a only child, so a lot of pressure was placed on him when he was young. He had to get good grades, he had to succeed. His father was a very intimating man, and Danny was always fearful to even think about failing. Danny was never really happy with his childhood, but he learned how to hide it.
When it was time for him to go to college, he got a full ride to Columbia University, and his father was ecstatic. How could he say no? So he went to college to do become something he's never wanted to become, a lawyer. Once there, he found himself a roommate and apartment, he found a roommate that was just about the complete opposite to himself, Brian. Brian was confident, laidback, and just all around better adjusted.
Brian started rub off on Danny, as he began to loosen up. Eventually he gained enough confidence and asked out a cute girl who lived across from their apartment. Things were actually going good for him, he had friends, and a girlfriend, he was happy. That all changed when the cultists kidnapped them. After everything that happened with the cultists, and with him gaining his powers, he found himself in another position that he doesn't want. But still, it's better then being a lawyer. He's been trying to get the cultist's compound back up and running to use as a base for the last few weeks, and now it just needs the finishing touches.
