Physical Description: Strongly built and athletic, Daniel is a physically capable young man -- as his career demands. Bright - unnaturally so - green eyes form the centre of well formed and slightly chiselled features, with a warm and charming smile. Mid-length brown hair falls in a slightly wavy style to just above and around his ears, and a rose-vine tattoo runs the length of his right arm. With more than one scar, largely on his upper body (though as of yet his face remains unblemished), Daniel prefers to wear a coat most of the time (despite a certain pair insisting that the scars are 'sexy'), though usually with a tank-top or short-sleeved tee underneath. Daniel wears his back-holster complete with two pistols almost all of the time, as well as carrying a combat knife and a wrist-blade.
Personality: Daniel is a fun-loving and joking young man, with a good sense of humour and a confident demeanour. More than a little bit brash and reckless, Daniel is perhaps a little too confident in his invulnerability, particularly when driving or free-running. To give credit to him, crashing and falling off/through things is his job, but as Embre says, "Generally there's a net and an ambulance waiting for you at the bottom when you're working". Not exactly quick to anger, but neither mind-numbingly patient, Daniel will resort to violence when provoked strongly, but generally prefers to keep his retorts verbal.
Skills and Talents:
- Driving -- in order to safely crash cars, you need to be an expert at not crashing them by accident at high speeds too.
- Free-running -- a hobby, as well as coming quite handy when he's chasing down more reluctant bail-skippers.
- Melee combat -- both with his knife and wrist blade, and without.
- Marksmanship -- Daniel is most skilled with his pistols, but he's a good shot with a rifle too, and has the practice necessary to cope with a shotgun's recoil.
- Ambidextrous -- Daniel can use both of his hands with equal precision.
Abilities:
- Aura-Energy: Daniel is not an angel, despite his misleading tendency to sprout glowing wings from his back. As their insubstantial nature might suggest, these aren't permanent, but rather an aspect of his 'mutant powers' as an X-men fan would call them. This enables him to fly - with wings as largely an aesthetic extra, despite the motions having an effect on his flying Daniel isn't sure that they're the cause, or whether the movement causes them to react to it. They're certainly far too small, and he flies far too steadily, for them to be the sole reason behind the flight. As well as this flight, Daniel can project energy from his hands as physical or pure-energy bursts, i.e. force or lightning, as well as shield himself and others (if they stand close enough, that is). More uniquely, Daniel can utilise the power of astral projection.These powers are biological in nature, rather than magical, though they do draw on magical energy insofar as they are sourced from demonic genes implanted in him, they are not reliant on it being present in his surroundings.
Equipment:
- Two pistols.
- Combat knife.
- Retractable wrist-blade (similar to Altair/Ezio's weapons, if you are familiar with the game, but broader and larger, as well as located on the back of his wrist rather than the front - comparable to the width of a thin shortsword, with the length of a dagger). A clenched fist on the mechanism is required for it to remain outside of its sheathe.
History (brief): Daniel is, in most respects, an ordinary guy. His daredevil career and tendencies are something that you could feasibly see in any adrenaline-junkie man or woman. However, the source of this excessive thrill-seeking is in fact that as a child, he was signed up to a medical trial in order to save his life. Daniel had cancer at a very young age, and his prognosis was fatal -- but his parents found a treatment trial through less than legitimate sources that offered the possibility of a total cure. Desperate, they took the chance. The process involved genetically altering Daniel and enhancing his human genes with supernatural ones - sourced largely from demonic entities. The process was a success, and seemingly miraculously, Daniel's cancer was cured by the unmatched immune system that the supernatural genes provided him. Of course, there were side effects. Unlike a number of the patients, Daniel didn't develop physical characteristics - horns, claws, wings (both bat-like and feathered) or tentacles - from the treatment, but instead he gained his aura-based powers, and his daredevil and vigorous personality. The treatment was shut down after the mutated patients were revealed to the world, and many of those involved were quarantined 'to safeguard the public'. Daniel escaped to Wing City, where he has lived ever since.
