About.
Daniel lives in a world of magic. It touches every plant and animal, creating nearly every sort of entity imaginable... including monsters. These monsters are called Chaotics, and they are what happens when the magic corrupts wholly, turning them into a feral, unstoppable beast. Early in history a class of warriors, the Sentinels, arose to fight these monsters, and in modern times they are going strong, keeping the dark corners of the world at bay.
Raised in a town of Sentinels called East Hollow, Daniel followed the path of a warrior. His life was a balance of school, play, and training, right up until he was about 14. The day that East Hollow fell. Being trained on sentry duty that day, Daniel was distracted at his post (and his trainer having gone for a short break) when a horde of Chaotics, in numbers unseen before, came streaming out of the forests around the town. They easily broke through the gates and started tearing and devouring their way through everything and everyone. If asked about this day, Daniel has no memories of it, save some blurry images of running through the town- and finding his burned out house and parents dead.
There was something in the wreckage, though. Though Daniel had always known he was adopted, he didn't know anything about his birth parents. But in the aftermath of the event and sorting through what belongings were left, he came across a photo album of both sets of parents in their glory days. An idea formed, and in the middle of the night the 14-year old snuck out of the remains of East Hollow, set to discover the whereabouts of the last family he had left in the world.
Five years later, Daniel hasn't yet found his birth parents, but he HAS found other family. A cousin who took him in, realizing he was destroying himself being transient at his age, helping him take care of himself and put some meat on his bones. He's made friends and loved ones, and is learning to manage his PTSD from the event. Along the way an encounter with a werewolf gave him something else to manage, though by now it's under control. ...More or less. And of course mixed in with everything else, deep inside him yearning questions still echo. What caused East Hollow to fall? Why was there an unnatural number of Chaotics there? And why, even after everything, has he still not found who he seeks?

| Misc. Notes | |
| I try to portray his PTSD as realistically as possible, which means he has a few flashback triggers. These are (wild) fire, roaring (as if from a lion or other large animal), and breaking or broken structures. These aren't going to get him every time, but do note if they might come up with your character. | |
