[If it needs to be longer, do tell me!]
Character Name: Daniel Sherrington
Sex: Male. A bubbling pool of testosterone, honestly!
Date of Birth: March 12, 1984
Age: 23
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 142 pounds
Build: Kind of athletic. Maybe if he worked out more he'd be great at sports.
Hair: Brown, a bit past shoulder length and slightly wavy. Some girls would kill to have it, amazingly.
Eyes: Blue
Place of Birth: Pensacola, Florida
Occupation: Retail work at one store or another while hoping for a terrific opportunity.
Hits: Relaxing times wedged in between a book and a computer; good food; silly conspiracy theories.
Misses: People you can't escape from; crowds; boring places with nothing to watch or read.
Personality: Danny is usually rather easy-going and jovial to those who don't know him. While he's as prone to frustration and anger as anyone else working a retail job, he's pretty good at keeping that bottled up until he can talk about it behind the offending person's back. Somewhat of a rumor-monger at times, he loves picking apart popular conspiracy theories while presenting new ones of his own. A bit shy at times, especially when someone gets closer than just being a customer or distant aquaintance, he tries to be a pretty boy without really having the personality to back it up - for this reason, he's still single.
History: The second of two sons, Danny was never really as successful as his elder. The son of a retail store manager (different company than he worked at until recently), he was reasonably well taken care of as he went through primary schooling, coasting with a C average. In college, always two years after his brother who went into business, he decided on an alternate route and delved into the sciences, finally settling on two-year degrees in physics and industrial chemistry. Again, he graduated with a 2.2 GPA, just a C average, due to being easily distracted sketching robots and ships in his notebooks.
While his father never did like Danny's choice of major, his mom was at least supportive and brother uninterested. His father did, however, take kinder to Dan's move into retail as a starting career out of college, due to the shortage of jobs in his field close to where he lived. Retail, however, was not really his thing - He soon started to feel his knowledge was going to waste selling shoes and kitchen appliances.
Present Life: Rapidly growing tired of his employment, Daniel is also putting up with still being not only single, but single without a single date in his life. While he's considered that he may be gay or bi, Danny has ruled that out because he's just not interested in the male figure at all. Due to all of this, he' at what he feels is a dead end in life, and is checking classifieds and 'help wanted' ads of all kinds in a hope to freshen his life up a bit.
Reason for becoming a Taurian: Daniel is rather open-minded and fascinated by things such as werewolf movies and ancient myths and legends. After the initial shock, awkwardness, and general being upset, he'll likely come to enjoy the unique new form. In addition, aside from his family, he'd hardly be missed by anyone - and even they'd not mind so much if he left a note.
Species preference:1) Gemsbok, female
2) Donkey, female
3) Ostrich, female
4) Caribou, female
Mythical species preference!1) Unicorn, female (Arabian Horse with the lower legs and tail of an Arabian Oryx, young narwhal horn would likely be grafted to the head)
2) Eastern Dragon (Likely a blend of crocodile, snake for the extra length and flexibility, and some form of canid for longer legs, fur and a more mammalish face), female
3) Kirin (still deciding what exact species would have to be mixed for this), female
4) Griffon, female (Some kind of eagle and a lioness bolted together)
No matter which, his upper body will eventually mold to match the sex of his lower. In fact, after the initial horror about becoming a girl, she'll probably enjoy it. Being a bit on the shy side will seem to fit more, and she'll get to wear cuter clothes without being worried about how people see her.
