Appearence:

Danny is a really tall guy, and he's also rather built. After all, he works out and practices his fighting skills almost every day. To tell the truth, he's rather vain when it gets down to it. He won't leave the house if he feels he smells bad or that his hair is totally out of whack. He styles his hair every day, and if he doesn't then he 'doesn't style it' to look like the bed head look. In other words, there is always some sort of effort put into his hair.

He has piercing blue eyes that a lot of girls like to swoon over, and he obviously isn't about to stop them. His jawline is strong, and a lot of guys are, secretly, a bit envious of it. Danny also has rather high and pronounced cheek bones, which also make girls love him even more. When he was in jail, a lot of the guys called him pretty boy because of his hair and his facial features. Of course, that got him into a few fights here and there.

As for what he wears, sometimes he'll dress up and sometimes he really won't care what he's wearing as long as it's clean. A few times, he has worn a suit jacket to school. Yeah, he's strange like that. But, honestly, he doesn't care. Sneakers and dress shoes are mostly his choice for footwear. Although, on occasion he was known to wear a converse of sorts.

Personality:

Daniel is one of those guys who you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley if he had something against you. He can hold a grudge for, probably, a very unhealthy amount of time. If someone were to do something terrible to him or someone he loves, that person is going to have a hell of a life. Daniel can, and will, make someones life like a living hell. It helps that he has the 'gangster' status so a lot of people in the school are rather scared of him for no reason other then what 'clique' he's in.

As much as he enjoys a good fight, Daniel is trying to clean his act up so that he can actually become something in this world after high school. Because, let's face it, he really doesn't want to go back to jail. That place was a hell hole. Plus, since he has missed so much schooling he's already way behind everyone else. So, unless he's severely provoked, no more fights for him.

When it comes to girls, he's a bit of a gentleman. Daniel believes that chivalry isn't dead, even though 'hardcore feminists' have tried to kill it off. He loves to show a lady a good time, and he's a bit of a flirt when it comes down to it. He's also rather jealous though. If he see's a girl he likes flirting or getting hit on by some other guy he tends to go a bit crazy. Dan's also totally protective. He will stick up for anyone he cares about no matter what.

Sometimes, he'll let his curiosity get the better of him. If he hears a sound coming from an ally way you better believe that he would go check it out. That's another thing about him, he doesn't really have any fear. Sure, when it comes to his life and what he wants to do with it he's scared of being useless and stuff, but as for the conventional things he has no fear. So, it's probably for the best that he has a lot of common sense that tells him when he should be scared of something.

History:

Daniel's mother died while giving birth to him, a fact that his father never let him forget. His dad beat him and constantly told him he was a failure and a killer. At the age of 8 he finally got the guts to run away from home. At the time, he had been living in England, so there were plenty of places to go and hide from his father. During the first day he was gone, he ran into a 'group' of teenage boys who saw him pick pocket someones wallet and decided to take him in. It wasn't until he was about ten that he realized they were actually a gang. They got by from stealing from stores, people, and they actually pulled of a small bank robbing when he was 11.

It was during the bank robbing that he got arrested. The camera's caught him on tape and he was caught by the police when they recognized him the next day when he was walking around trying to find something to eat. They took him in, and after his hearing they gave him a 5 year sentence on the fact that he was a minor and because of his situation. Of course, the police found his father and told him about what had happened. Since Daniel was going to jail, though, he didn't actually have to stay with his father and only exchanged a few words here and there. Of course, his father was totally furious about everything.

While in jail, he learned how to fight in many different ways. He made a friend who knew tae kwon do, one who knew karate, and one who was the best street fighter he'd ever seen. So, when he finally got out of prison after his five years, sadly for him he didn't happen to get parole, Daniel was a bit of an expert at fighting. Since jail wasn't exactly the nicest place in the world, he vowed to himself that he would never go back. The gang found him as soon as he was let out and tried to get him to join again, since he was 16 and still had the young and innocent look to him, but he refused. They put up a bit of a fight; but, strangely, they finally took no for an answer and left him alone.

After jail, his father found him again. It had taken all of his mind games to hide from his dad for so long after jail, three weeks. But, thanks to the fact that the police had felt it a necessity to inform his father of his release, Dallas found him rather easily. When he was found, Daniel was living in a one bedroom apartment in a bad part of the city. It was a bit of a miracle he hadn't gone back to gang life yet.

Sample Rp:

Laney rushed out to her car in a bit of a frenzy, she had waken up ten times too late today. Her hair was a total mess and her makeup was most likely smeared over her face in a hazardous way. Biting her lip as she pulled quickly out of her driveway, nicking the garbage can on her way (damn she'd get in trouble for that when she got home), she tried not to imagine the look on her first room teachers face if she walked in late. Not only was she a total outcast to the students, but even teachers didn't seem to like her all that much. In reality, not many people liked her in general. It was mostly because she never talked.

Her car ran down the streets at what was most definitely an illegal speed and she prayed to whoever was listening that she wouldn't get pulled over. Strangely, since at the way this day had started it seemed as if she'd be getting in as much trouble as possible, she managed to make it to school without so much as a ticket. Her breath let out in a soft whoosh, she hadn't really been holding it so much as trying to breath as little as possible. It was stupid really, but it was the same feeling of security you get when you hide under blankets if you think someone is after you. You honestly know it won't help you, but it gives you a sense of being safe. Well, her mind somehow managed to think that if she breathed in and out quietly she'd be less likely to be caught by police by her atrocious speed level.

As she jumped out of the car, she made her way up to the now rather deserted school and straightened the strap of her bag, which crossed her body. In her haste, she totally disregarded the shape of a boy just sort of standing there. She was busy going through her side bag in order to make sure she hadn't forgotten any text books. If she had, she'd be totally screwed over. All her teachers were pretty strict and something as little as forgetting a text book seemed to be a huge deal to them. It was sort of stupid, since it was only a stupid book and they did have extras, but they had already given out a number of detentions to people who had forgotten their books and Mel didn't want to be one of those people.

Anyways, in her hurry and lack of observation skills, she ran straight into the guy. She seemed to bump right off of him and land on her butt with her books falling out of her bag and all over the ground. Laney had been holding the books in her bag and when she fell, her hands flew out in an attempt to steady herself and she'd forgotten to let go of the books so they flew out of her bag and her hands. Stupid stupid, stupid. Mumbling a few select words under her breath, totally forgetting there was someone else there, she crawled across the ground and started to collect her belongings. As soon as she saw the guy though, her breath left her and she blushed immensely. That guy had totally just watched her make a fool of herself. And she had bumped into him. "I'm sorry!" She all but yelled at him in her Irish accent. Then, once she realized what she had done, she clamped a hand over her mouth. All this time she'd gone without talking to anyone, and she didn't plan on making a habit of saying things out loud, and she had gone and ruined it just because she was all frazzled and her shyness had left her for a few moments.
