Personality
There’s no two ways around it, Daniel can be cocky at times and can act like his doesn’t care. He is confident in himself and is rather independent, especially when it comes to his shape-shifting. He can often make smart-arsed comments or replies if he really wants too. Though he does hold his tongue every so often when he sees it won’t get him anywhere or would land him in trouble. He can often be rather stubborn in his ways and opinions and most of the time, it would take a miracle to change it. This gets him in countless arguments with anyone that tries to change them. However, not everyone sees him for who he truly is. Deep down, Daniel does actually care. More often than not, he’ll worry all day long about something he’s done or said, but he just won’t show it. Just like he won’t show how much he cares about his family. Very few people know this side of him and those that do don’t speak about it very much. He rarely opens up about what he’s feeling and would rather keep the feelings inside his head to try and deal with them there. Daniel likes the occasional drink and can often be seen in a bar two or three times a week. He does like to flirt, whether or not he’s had a drink and if he sees someone he likes, he’ll go over and try to start a conversation. Though this does not always go too planned. Many a time has he had a drink thrown in his face for accidentally saying something wrong.

If you do get past this ‘façade’ that he’s got going on, Daniel is a sweet guy. The change you’ll see is quite surprising. He’ll turn from a cocky guy into a gentleman. It should come out more, but only to those that he cares about immensely. It shows that he does have feelings and he does want to be loved in return for the love he gives out. This by no means indicates that he turns into a push over. He’ll defend people to the end of the world and likes to make some decisions. Just don’t expect to control everything he does if you see him like this. The whole reason for his attitude is because of his parents. They act like have little to no feelings what so ever and that money can solve anything. This then lead to Daniel and his younger sister have pretty much all the freedom they wanted and he grew up with very little love in life. Granted his personality could’ve turned out worse, but it’s down to his younger sister and a few friends that he didn’t turn out like them.

Background
Daniel grew up in a small family, having a mother, father and a younger sister in Sydney, Australia. His father is a successful businessman and his mother barely works. His accent is still there, even if it has been several years since he’s lived there. Daniels parents weren’t the nicest of people. They were acted like they had no feelings what so ever and practically left Dan and his sister to fend for themselves. Dan grew up to believe that they had no feelings and didn’t really care for them at all. Of course Dan was always there for his sister, no matter what happened. He went to one of the best schools in Sydney and done pretty well in school despite his parents and everything going on around him. He had no idea that his mother was having an affair until she came out with the news. That was mainly due to him having no interest in his parents doings anyway. He ignored them as much as they ignored him. He moved to Honey Tree with his father just after he finished college because of his parents divorce. Turned out his mother was having an affair with his fathers co-worker. Ever since then, Daniel has detested his mother completely. His mother stayed in Australia with the man and hasn’t been in contact since.

Daniels father still has all his money and does all the necessary work online, which means that he spends most of his time in his office. If it hasn’t already occurred to you, Daniel’s family is rich. Not flamingly rich, but rich enough for to seem like money will solve everything. Daniel and his sister still have their freedom and hardly ever see their father anymore. Even if he doesn’t necessarily need the money, he got various jobs around the small town, ranging from a bartender to various shop assistants. He eventually settled down as a waiter last year and has been working there ever since. Daniel felt it was the best idea since he doesn’t like using his parents money after what they did. Though he has to be careful not to shift into anyone he touches. This doesn’t occur unless he’s concentrating on shifting or his mind wanders, which it did often when he had little control over it. People do know about his shifting abilities, including his family and other people he’s shifted into. He enjoys shifting into people he’s just met and likes watching their faces. However he does need direct contact the first few times he does it until he gets used to the feeling of the person.

Shape shifting
As mentioned before, Daniel can only shift into humans if he has direct contact with them. This has always been true, even when he was younger and first found out he could shape shift. For animals, it’s a slightly different story. He can shift into animals without direct contact but it’s exceedingly difficult for him. He first has to have seen the animal, or touch it to be able to shift. If not, it can go horribly wrong. Thankfully he has never tried it without doing so just in case, but he’s heard stories. When he first found out between the ages of 12 and 13, Daniel couldn’t really control it. If it was in contact with someone, he had to mentally stop himself from shifting. It was difficult for him because, like most people, he didn’t know what was going on. His parents never said anything about it and he never dared ask them. Instead, his sister helped him, which is why they’re so close. With training and concentration, Daniel was able to control himself when in direct contact with someone. She allowed him to practice with her image to get used to shifting in and out of people. Dan also practiced on both his parents on various occasions if could and got used to their image as well as a few animals. Granted he might still have to have direct contact with humans and a load of concentration on the first couple of tries, but his shifting with animals has become a lot easier over the years.
His favoured animals are a few breeds of dog, foxes, a few birds and occasionally a few big cats. It’s the reason he loves going to the zoo so much. While he might not change into the animals there, it can help him see their mannerisms and such for if he ever needs too. If he wants to change into anything other than something he’s practiced, human or animal, it takes a great deal time, energy and concentration to be able to do it.
Daniel doesn’t currently know if his parents or anyone else in his family have powers, whether they be shape-shifters or otherwise. He has noted some suspicious behaviour from his younger sister, but he’s currently unsure whether she holds any power herself.
