 .Daniel Wolf. Name from Mother: Hidden Wolf
Name from Father: Daniel Teller
Goes by: Daniel Wolf
Nicknames: Danny, Dan, 'Half-Breed', 'Two-Blooded' (These are insults, not nicknames, he was often called in childhood.)
Date of Birth: Unknown
Age: 22
Hair Color: Very, very dark black.
Eye Color: Green
Height: 5'9
Weight: 135
Religion: Atheist
Wife: N/A
Love Interest: N/A
Children: N/A
Talents: - Knowledgable in the delicate art of cheating, especially when it comes to fixing dice (note: this will never be used IC with anyone other than NPCs).
Reason: When Dan bet his violin, he no longer had a source of income, and thus used his love for gambling to develope a new one.
- Has a sort of 'green thumb'.
Reason: The old woman who raised him once said 'any woman as lovely as a rose can be won over by one'. Dan took an interest in gardening from there on.
- Very charming and convincing liar.
Reason: Er, none, really. He just is.
- Good at cooking.
Reason: Dan's caretaker was a very old woman, with hands far to shaky to cook and a mind already fading too much to remember the ingridients, anyway. Thus, Dan had to learn or risk starving.
Weaknesses: - Easily fooled or swayed by a pretty girl.
Reason: He really likes women?
- Not a very good fighter, aside from the occasional street brawl.
Reason: Dan was kept inside for most of his young life, and wasn't submitted to many fights to gain close to any 'practice'.
- Tends to be a coward and generally prideless enough to flee if his own a** is on the line.
Reason: Just the way he is. Dan cares little what others think of him, and 'pride', as far as he's concerned, falls under that category. 'Better to be a live chicken than a dead duck' is his motto.
- Though he it takes a lot of it, he tends to guzzle alcohol to the point seeing him sober is a rarity.
Reason: Dan likes to drink, plain and simple.
- Suffers from constant headaches which he claims are due to 'his genes' or 'bloodline'.
Reason: Dan actually suffers from constant headaches because of his constant drinking. They're the result of multiple, almost never-ending hangovers.
Weapon Of Choice: Generally, a broken bottle. He almost always has one handy, and they're sharp.
Likes: Women, alcohol, gambling, more women, money or anything of value, violin, roses.
Dislikes: Most other men, fish, maps, working.
Languages known: English, French (Note: He can speak both fluently, but can't read or write a word past his own name.)
Orientation: Heterosexual
Ethnicity: Native American/English
Father: Name unknown. An English settler.
Mother: Name unknown. A Native American woman.
Siblings: None.
Background: No one's quite clear on just who his parents were, but know well what they were. His skin and hair are that of a typical Native American, but his eyes, an unusual green, just scream 'half-breed'.
If said breeding that resulted in such a baby was consentual or not, too, has been questioned. Either way, neither 'side' took to the newborn with two names, one from each parent. Already ill, his mother died shortly after his birth. His father, deciding to return to his homeland, obviously didn't live under the 'if you name it, you'll get attached' saying. So, instead, he abandoned the baby on a doorstep and off he went.
The steps, and the house attached to them, belonged to an aged French woman who had seen far more years than most in her life. Even so, she breathed raggedly for many more, witnessing 15 of the strange boy that had been left on her doorstep with a note written in poor ink. It told of his name, or both names, more precisely. Uncertain of which to call him, instead of 'Hidden Wolf' or 'Daniel Teller', the woman addressed him as a mix of the two: Daniel Wolf Though, generally, she called him 'Danny'. Others had... not so affectionate nicknames.
Not that there were many others. Most of the time, he was what could be considered a 'shut-in', kept in the house and warned of the dangers and potential spite he would face in the outside world. This over-protective life may have perhaps ruined any hope for social tact the boy would have, but she saw it only as keeping him safe. Her mind was slipping far too much to teach Daniel anything, but she remembered her violin well, so such taught him that.
When his keeper passed away, he had no choice. With no skills or talents aside from what he had developed musically, and even lacking the ability to do so much as read and write past his own signature, Daniel Wolf struck out to... nowhere, actually, hoping to accomplish nothing more than survival.
It wasn't long before he discovered a fondness of woman. Far more than most teenage boys, which in most cases is saying something. Naturally, it was not his love for the female gender that kept him alive. That requires food and drink, which requires money. At first, he got what little he needed as a sort of street performer. Unfortunately, Daniel Wolf discovered his second and third love: Gambling and Alcohol.
Probably drunk at the time, he bet his violin. And he lost. Later, he scraped together enough money to buy another.
Despite his severe lack of education, Dan was always a very crafty individual, and as he'd generally learned to play the violin, he self-taught himself various and effective ways to cheat. A few black eyes (and one stab wound), also helped him learn how not only to cheat, but when and where to do it, and never to stay in the same place too long. He traveled constantly as a result, spending any money he didn't on food on, you guessed it, alcohol and women.
The exsistance was what many would consider meaningless, but for Daniel Wolf, a half-breed with no family and no real home, it suited him just fine.
Personality: If it's female with two legs and twitch, Dan is after it. Hell, it doesn't even need both legs, having one makes it easier to chase, doesn't it? As a result of being hated himself, Dan is not 'racist' or spiteful of differences like many, if not most, 'normal' humans. Besides that, if he was, it'd greatly lower the number of females he could pick up, and pick them up the charming young man does.
Dan has a tounge of silver and, to the eyes of the easily fooled women when he need to convince them of his worth, a heart of gold. While, in truth, he's not nesscarily a bad person, Dan does always put Dan first. At the end of the day, it's about him having what he wants and nothing more. This does allow him to survive as intended, but getting your happiness from a bed and a bottle only has so much effect after so long, and his selfishness, so far, has caused him to lack any real bonds with other people.
Said other people he often surprises with skills and traits one wouldn't expect, such as his affinity for cooking.
