Danny Volf

Written by TailorOfFates

Great Dane, Daniel Teelund Volf (a.k.a. Danny, Dan-man)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

His physique type is thin and lanky, this eventually shifts to athletic.
Once the lycanthropy in his blood is activated Danny's growth rate is suddenly accelerated. This allows him to reap maximum benefits from the training regiments forced onto him by Karma and Rizza.

Body Features

Like most other Terranian's, Danny has shoulbols, elbols, and heelbols. The heelbols allow him to tremor sense. Danny's still has both of his elbols, and all of his bols are still softstone to start, but gradually develop into solid rock.
Initially he has no body jewelry, but eventually Danny gets a few piercings made from unique metals with magical properties up his left ear.

Facial Features

Danny has a rectangular shaped face with moderately soft features. He's one of the only Terranian's with blue eyes and this actually catches the wrong kinds of attention in most cases.

Identifying Characteristics

The best way to describe him is, Danny is the smartest man in the room who appears to be confused.

Physical quirks

  • He has unusually long top and bottom canine teeth for a Terranian. 
  • Danny has a birthmark that looks like a scar just over his heart.
  • He's missing his pinky and the tip of his ring finger on his right hand.

Special abilities

  • Danny is an empath and is very much in tune with his aura.
  • He is able to Memread exceptionally well.
  • He can willingly shift between Terranian and Lycan forms with little mental pull from his animal urges. This took practice.
  • Danny is able to create aura shields. From focused and small, to large and static.

Apparel & Accessories

Danny mainly wears casual clothes with a serious lack of armour. He finds it slows him down and is a waste of money considering that when he shifts, his transformation destroys most, or all of it.

Specialized Equipment

He briefly uses a sword, but later stabs it into Red Desert glass.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

As an infant, Danny migrated with his father from Teravitahl, TN, to the Forest of Silence where his father, Erinson Volf, helped found a small settling known now as Volfclen. He grew up in the safety of Volfclen, surrounded by Quiets and the forest for natural protection. Danny was raised by his father to have an open mind, constantly being taught the histories and secrets of the world in the form of creatively reformed games geared towards making learning fun. Fortunately for Erinson, Danny took to this method and developed a hunger for knowledge. He was taught basic self defense and battle strategies, however, Danny always seemed to struggle with combat related skills, instead sneaking off to read slip-scrolls he had swiped off his fathers desk.
At the age of 3, a young, bruised Valkorri girl was found in the woods near the Endzone and brought into Volfclen to be raised among the woodsmen. She was given the name Freitza and assigned a homestead which Erinson built while Danny "helped". Despite her individual home, Freitza was raised by Erin and spend the next 13 years attached to Danny's hip as his best friend and self proclaimed defender.
When Danny turned 13, Freitza was given Erinsons blessing to join the Night hunt, an honored tradition upheld in Volfclen weekly. This frustrated Danny as he and Freitza had always spent their time together after class, so he was forced to learn how to handle himself in his alone time, opting to sink his nose into more scrolls instead of exploring his own sense of self. A year later when he was called to his rite of passage, he was told that he could not join the Night hunt and instead must travel to a place that doesn't technically exists in order to awaken a sealed Guardian from ancient times. This reasonably upset him as he had been promised not only to be able to join the hunts, but that he would one day succeed his father as Chieftain of Volfclen.
Danny ran off, yet somehow fate seemed to lure him toward his objective regardless of his grievances with the task at hand. It is only once he made it to the tiny/big hut in the woods that he learned his true purpose, however, in that telling he began to fear whether or not he was capable of saving something on such a large scale.

Sexuality

He is a heterosexual that would technically classify as a xenophile.
He finds most races of women attractive.

Education

Danny is incredibly well educated, being gifted slip-scrolls and historical journals by his father. He spent his class time and his free time studying the stories of old, enchanted by the intrigue of histories mysteries and the techniques lost to us through time.
The only times a young Danny was not studying was when he was doing something asked of him by his father, or spending time with Freitza.

Employment

Danny doesn't claim any career officially, but helps when needed and will often moonlight as a builder for quick kye.

Failures & Embarrassments

Danny's fears start out fairly trivial, as failing the coming of age Volfglen trials and never being able to make his father proud but later they expand to a much larger proportion. His main fear focus is failing to seal the Omni-lock and having the gods war on Eden again, the potential death toll if the divine pantheon were to resurface could be insurmountable.
However his biggest fear is losing himself to his animal instincts. To potentially become nothing more than a savage beast and hurt an innocent.

Mental Trauma

Danny faintly recalls a cutting betrayal from a close friend and subconsciously holds a deep seated rage toward this person as a result.
There comes a point where Danny remembers Danes death, this triggers a lot of Danes mannerisms to resurface, and also causes a suspicious outlook toward people.

Morality & Philosophy

He is a willful and compassionate person. Danny is doubtful at times, but his determination usually out weighs the doubts.
Despite his calculative nature, Danny considers himself an optimist. He always tries to see the best in people and believes that everyone can, or should be saved. part of that comes from his compassion, but most of this stems from his inability to let go.
He can be a very sympathetic person, but not because he chooses to be at first. It is more so because he is an empath with the potential to actually feel what other people are feeling. Though he isn't initially aware that this is what's happening to him, he's compelled to help out people in need.
Danny's determination to learn lies in a theory he has yet to prove true, he wishes to find where the line is drawn between magic, religion, divinity, and science because he believes that all together they might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. With this in mind, Danny doesn't like to jump to conclusions. He likes to try and find both as logical and reasonable a cause as possible so he can set the best solution in place.
Danny's greatest wish is to stop the second coming of the war of gods and return to Volfclen as a man worthy of dawning the title "Chieftain". Later, he reimagines this dream, only this time with Lilianna at his side.

Taboos

  • Danny will never just write someone off, there needs to be a damn good reason that he decides you aren't worth saving.
  • Danny will never plane shift a child. He considers this cruel to underdeveloped bodies (He himself hates it).
  • He never allows his Lycan bloodlust to take over.
  • He never mistreats scrolls, sculptures, art or anything with either historical or sentimental value. He considers this horribly rude, and a waste of knowledge.
  • Danny will never leave a man behind, he needs to be either unconcious or damn near dead to loose someone in the heat of battle.
  • He will never ignore signs of declining well-being. This includes signs of physical sickness, mental decline, and emotional distress. He's an empath, he feels it as well.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Originally Danny's base motivations lie in protecting the people from Volfclen and Thriving until his generations as chieftain end. Now, it's to prevent a war that could destroy the entire planet.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes;
Element bending and spell weaving of any sort, advanced or unique techniques, research, Piccow meats, lost cities and artifacts, training, history, gratitude
Dislikes;
Selfish people, Corpus trees, death, war, racist and/or sexist behavior, unwarranted violence, Duel, Balthazaar, watching others suffer, random orbs, Danny's talisman, plane shifting

Virtues & Personality perks

  • Danny never leaves a man behind if given the option.
  • He is well read, and is considered a problem solver.
  • Danny will never jump to conclusions, prefering to remain open minded in case the impossible decides that today is the day to drop two letters.

Vices & Personality flaws

  • Danny cant accept death, he finds it difficult to let go once he's suffered a loss and will dwell on this for quite some time. In contrast, after the loss of a friend he will become extensively more protective of those he has left close to him.
  • He's also dangerously curious, always needing to find the solution or understand the mechanics of whatever it is peaking his interest at the time.
  • Young Danny is not at all physically inclined, it takes many training sessions and travels for Danny to outgrow his distaste for physical exertion.
  • While in his Lycan form Danny finds it difficult to focus, his constant hunger for the hunt alters his ability to maintain mental stability in this form and essentially begins to turn his mind (just like his body) from man to beast. This only changes when he accepts who and what he is.
  • Danny's overall biggest flaw is that he is plagued by an overwhelming sense of self doubt. After being told what the objective for him and Karma was, Danny was concerned that he would not be capable of effecting the universal balance on such a large scale while being just one person. This is the issue he most often thinks about while trying to stop the second coming.

Personality Quirks

After Danny's first turn he begins to display many animalistic mannerisms. The regularity of these little displays increases throughout Danny's growth and as he notices them at first they upset him, making him feel like he has no control of himself. After Danes full mem-read, Danny becomes proud of what he is openly displaying

Hygiene

He is fairly well kempt, Varying on travels and water access. He will often run the tips of his claws through his coat in Lycan from, this feels great for him.
His Lycan forms coat has a healthy gloss to it, when not matted with blood.

Social

Social Aptitude

Though he starts off as a bit cautious of others, Danny is oddly charismatic. He uses a mix of analyzing body language and his empathic abilities to get a feel of the person he is speaking with and then says what he needs to say in a manner he's tailored to that individuals interests.

Mannerisms

  • Danny's curious expression is the same as his confused expression.
  • He exhibits many canine-like tendencies. 
  • He's always scratching at the talisman around his neck, even after removing it.
  • Danny gets rather bashful around half naked/naked women. He may prioritize work, but he's still a young man who's inexperienced with the ladies. 
  • He likes to find the least invasive way to touch people so he can better understanding what they are feeling.

Hobbies & Pets

He loves to read.

Speech

Danny's speech is clear and concise, unless he's speaking Belani. He butchers Belani, despite his accuracy with understanding the language.
His tone is typically welcoming, with hints of doubt when faced with difficult situations that rely on him to solve. He speaks Elemat well, but retains a common tongue accent. 
He will do his best not to swear, he believes that someone with a vocabulary as large as his should be able to express how they feel without the use of profanities.
