Occupation
"Student and Costume, Lighting, and Sound Technician. When I'm not up to those shenanigans I'm just your average set up guy and odd jobs doer. The band needs me? I'm there. Haha."
Relationships with others
Naomi: "Ha! She's a piece of work. Real quiet like, yknow? Real unpredictable with all that pent up anger and frustration, too. I wish she'd just say things on her mind more! It'd bring the group together way more. And she needs to realize she's totally part of the family just like the rest of us! Haha. I guess I should take my own advice though. She's a real sweetie. I wish she'd stop hiding all that's up there in that thinkpan o' hers."
Indiana: "What's with all these secretive girls? Hah. When I first showed up I totally thought I had a crush on her. Before I figured things out, yknow. She's probably one of my best damn friends now. I hope she doesn't have any hard feelings about how that crush thing went down. Haha."
Morgan: "M? Dang. I don't know her too well but I sure as heck like her attitude yknow."
Sutton: "Sutton. Ha. I wish I knew him better. He's got some real great opinions if you ask him for them. And he's super smart yknow? Like wow. Heh. He's pretty cool. Great friend, really."
Zachary: "I dunno. He seems a bit like a big ham, yknow? Something about him makes me real nervous. Not sure why. But he's real polite and stuff on stage when we're setting up so haha. I guess I just don't know him well enough to see all of the amazing stuff that makes him up."
Dating/Crushes
"Ha! I haven't dated anyone in ages. I guess it could be said I haven't actually serious-adult-really-actually dated anyone ever. I was always too busy with school. I wish I could get in with someone soon though. I'm feeling a bit isolated and damn it would be nice to be someones first choice, yknow?"
Secrets
-"The band still doesn't know this, and yknow, I shouldn't be keeping secrets. But uh. Heh. My sexualities been in question for ages and I dunno. Chicks aren't realy my thing. Heh. It's a pretty well kept secret though, yknow. So I no one knows that. I kinda hope to keep it that way. Haha. My personal life isn't really their business anyway."
-"My self esteem's been downright shit since high school. And yknow. I've got scars on my thighs from all those times I cut and in all my high school photos ycan see I've been starvin myself. I eat now. Still cut a little, though. When things get too much. And all this being happy gets real tiring sometimes... so I just sleep sometimes. And sometimes when I disappear from the set for a day or two it's cuz I just wanna go hide somewhere and cry for a little while. But that's okay, right? Heh. Not like I have severe depression that I'm overcompensating for or anything."
-"Heh. This is the big one. Kinda completes the whole damn sob story. I don't let it get me down to much. It's another thing I don't go round tellin the band, yknow, don't wanna get em down and anyway it's not like I'm real important to the whole shebang, considerin they could get a new stagecraft kid whenever they want. But I've got lung cancer. I'm on meds and stuff and it's real early stage so the survival rate's like fifty percent but it's a little scary. I just hope it doesn't spread or anything. And it's putting my ma and da in a real financial bind yknow. But hey, I've got a job now, right?"

Personality
Presenting himself to the world with a huge grin, Dan almost always has this giant charisma that makes everyone in the room light up. He's a miracle worker in making people feel great about themselves and is always over-enthusiastic about good things. Despite being the youngest of the group, he often plays mother to the entire band and their associates, trying to make sure everyone is fed and clothed all of the time and counseling them in the most friendly and caring way. He likes listening to people talk and can ramble forever on his views of the universe and loves talking about other people and how he thinks the universe works.
However, after a certain amount of listening and being carefree, Dan will disappear for a day or two. Just to hide, to let all of his sadness out and curl up in a little ball and hate himself for a day or two. It blows over quick though and he'll often return to his group of friends stronger than ever when he does happen to leave like that. While very happy he doesn't talk about himself a lot, and is relatively secret in his personal affairs, which sometimes puts people off a bit.
History
Born in England Dan's family didn't even stay long enough for him to develop the accent but he does still have family throughout Europe. His father was from a rich family in London, while his mother was a poor woman from France. His father and mother broke up when he was two and his mother and the man she'd cheated on his father with moved to the U.S. with him and the man's daughter. They were raised as siblings and a warm family altogether. Things went well. In the last year of middle school Dan decided he'd audition for an Arts high school with a Stagecraft and Technology major. Through high school he flourished in his major, recieving top marks and growing especially in lighting, sound, and costume tech. All of which, he was scouted for for the band before he was out of high school but his school allowed him leave for the concerts and now tour due to it being perfect study for his major as long as he digitally submitted his homework to his teachers while he was touring and such.
