Name – Dan D. Nathanson
Age – 14
Occupation – Occupant of Los Angeles Slums
Personality – Dan is quiet and reserved and doesn’t talk a lot. He would rather listen, absorb, and suppress rather than share full thoughts so he doesn’t make anyone mad with his thoughts on whatever was absorbed, good or bad. The usual answer from him in a friendly conversation is “cool,” “okay,” etcetera.
History – Dan actually lives in the slums of Los Angeles with a dad who is trying desperately to get out of it. His dad works almost all hours of the day to make money to try and give his son what he thinks he deserves. The only time Dan ever gets to see his dad is when he comes in to his room to wake him up at midnight to tell him good night and that he loves Dan. Dan equally hates the smelly and shady slums, and wants badly to get the Hell out of there, just like his dad does. But he goes along with his day just fine. He doesn’t really have a choice in the matter, after all.
Dan goes to the local middle school and gets okay grades, namely A’s and B’s. He’s a good student for living in the slums, as at least half of the students don’t care, and neither do some of the teachers. Dan excels particularly in English, where he writes exceptionally well. He keeps multiple notebooks in his binder, where he stores all sorts of short stories that he writes in class. After school, he mulls around the slums, watching people walk by and listening to their conversations, coming up with interesting stories for each individual.
