He looks like he's in his mid-30s but is much much older, however, nobody needs to know that. [/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjMyLmFjMTkwYy5SMlZ1WkdWeS4wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img] [indent]Male[/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjMyLmFjMTkwYy5VbTl0WVc1MGFXTWdTVzUwWlhKbGMzUnouMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img] [indent] Daniel doesn't have a problem over whoever gender is his the partner that he is trying to pursue as long he likes them. Not minding if whatever he gets into is either a fling or short-term relationship, usually bouncing with different people for the added spice in life and exchanging moments between them. Having little worry who he is involved with as long both of them are having fun and enjoying themselves when they are together for how long. On occasion, though, he does have long-term relationships with someone usually special who he feels attached to. For all purposes, he is considered Pansexual.[/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjMyLmFjMTkwYy5RWEJ3WldGeVlXNWpaUSwsLjAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img] [indent]Daniel's bulky form has been something he has worked on which has on occasion been the subject to a few people glancing at twice. Perhaps its from his tall stature of six feet and three inches where he is usually the tallest in the room and weighing around 189 lbs without else. Born in Ireland, his previously lighter skin has tanned from being in the sun all the time which has absorbed its color along with his chocolate colored hair and matching light brown eyes. With his hair cut short on the sides for a fade and then styled, he seems to have a good handle of his own appearance. Having some tame facial hair on his prominent jawline that prickles against the skin if you feel it or rub against it, trimmed to remove any messiness with it. Along with his lips angled to always seem like he has a small smirk whenever you look at him.[/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjMyLmFjMTkwYy5VR1Z5YzI5dVlXeHBkSGssLjAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img] [indent] Adventurous, Confident, Uninhibited, Talkative, Flirty Daniel's prominent trait is him as an extrovert with an obvious outgoing personality that anyone can see just by looking at him. With the look on his face, knowing he is confident about himself and what he is wearing which conveys much without being said. Having this air of self-confidence about himself that seems unwavering, it also shows when he talks with that cool headed and calm demeanor that wouldn't be embarrassed to ask or reveal anything. As a person with his confidence, he wouldn't be afraid to stand as a rebel against the norm or at the same time take the position as a leader for something that he believes in. He is a person who would be considered being fun to be around, as he is always looking for something to do whether it be with a group or by himself. Seemingly having an appetite for conversation, he is clearly a people's person who loves to talk to people and get to know them. Combined with the fact that he is a flirtatious person, he can make a person chuckle at how smooth he can pull something off without a second thought. It makes his personality great for taking along to go to any kind of party as he's a polite guest who isn't afraid to join in the fun once it starts rolling. Daniel as a guy with many friends is inclined to be generally trusting and doesn't mind lending a hand to those who needs it and freely offers help to those who won't ask. He has a rather positive view on life but with a good dose of realism that keeps him in check, seeing many of the faces that appear in humanity and himself. All he can do is always try to do his best to live his own life the fullest with the hope that nothing will throw it too out of whack.

Born to parents both witches who raised him well and proper as expected of the time and raised him to be like them. Teaching them the magic of their practice, talented enchanters who forged weapons with runes that enchanted their properties. A relatively mundane form of magic compared to the explosion of the elements and the dead being raised from the graves. Learning the art of enchantment and was eventually taught the ancient practice of using runes from his parents. Growing up, his abilities only increased as he learned more and more before finally leaving his home and began to explore the world as an entrepreneur to broaden his horizons. Trading secrets with other witches that he met and came across countless covens both good, bad and evil. Meeting his fair share of witch hunters as well, fighting off a good majority of them and on rare occasion befriending one or two that he'd meet. Making many memories as he traveled all over Europe to finally America. Experiencing a fair amount of animosity for the supernatural and simply race, he quickly grew hard skin from the poisonous culture back then. Eventually, he got his hands around a few blueprints for several mystical runes that could be forged into powerful spells. Having to go back to Europe to snatch the pieces of magic which would greatly benefit him. He had to do several unpleasant things to achieve them but it's all for the results that would come to fruit. Obtaining the runes with a few bloody prints on them, where he went to study them. At the age of forty with his life dedicated to magic, he unlocked the secrets of those mystic runes after a decade of experimenting. A few disastrous results but he obtained what he hoped for, a method to achieve immortality which would be permanent. Escribing the spell onto his body which held his physical form together and eventually after a few additional lines which mended the scars. As time would pass, his later edits to the template of the spell allowed some recovery of aging as well. Allowing him to live much longer than what was possible and sought to give this gift to his family. Of course, they accepted and their bodies were able to face the test of time, as they lived for a very long time. However, while they would remain unaffected by time, everything else would not wait for them. They only began to realize that their little bubble would not shelter them, long past the rumors which World War 1 would sprout itself up. It was they who were stuck in the crossfire between the warring countries as they fled for safety. With a few close calls, they survived as they bunkered down in Ireland and faced the brunt of the war with magical defenses. Despite the war, they thought everything was fine after the Triple Entente won the war. However, it slowly dawned on them when Hitler came into power, the red herrings were being released and they fled. Immigrating to the United States, while familiar to Daniel, it was a long time since he visited the country as he supported his parents. Allowing them to settle down in the great nation of America, they fully assimilated themselves with their neighbors as best they could. Even getting into the war effort, as they participated in many of the orchestrated events both nationally and from the neighborhood. Using magic to disguise them through the years and moving several times, they amazing never were caught. Cheering along with the rest of the Allies when the end of World War 2 came to be and the defeat of the Axis Powers. To survive the war but only die in the aftermath was saddening, as Daniel and his family were targeted by Hunter during the Red Scare. A popular time like the Salem Witch Trials where hunters sought to uproot covens of witches. In these tragic events, his parent's death and many more witches were killed and hidden with many innocents. These attacks were lead by Joseph McCarthy who organized many of these hunts and was the most notable hunter in his time. With hundreds if not thousands witches dead, Daniel only survived by his bare teeth when he moved to less populated states where hunters were less likely to hunt. Eventually, finding himself in the early 2000s in Carlsford where he made himself a resident. Feeling not obligated to mention that he was a witch, he heard of the coven here and they could think anything about him. It didn't matter so long they didn't go out of their ways to mess around with him. Eventually, he grew into the community as he bought and ran his own place of Main Street where he ran a restaurant. Calling it The Golden Cup where it served mostly as a bar but was a surprisingly accommodating place with a few rooms to be rented if asked for. However, recently drama been stirring up with the neighborhood coven which he still hasn't joined and made sure his nature as a witch wasn't blatantly obvious.

Able to write letters which symbolize certain words which can create and reinforce magical phenomenon, in more modern uses it can be used to make magical shields which protect or reinforce objects with magic. However, with more study and specialization in runic magic, it is a language which can reproduce magic so long as you understand how to perform them. With single runes being weak in terms of how advance it is, stringing together with the correct runes into phrases or arrays can craft a mighty spell. Usually, these runes have to be drawn onto a physical medium before their magic can be realized safely. If one is confident in their skills then one can recite their runes to cast spells at their own risk and should be limited to their knowledge to be safe. Runes generally have either 'positive' or 'negative' effects which dictate whether they are either defensive/supportive in nature or offensive/debilitating. Meaning that each spell has an predetermined effect when being constructed which can only do that, as an defensive spell cannot be used to harm or an offensive spell cannot be used to do anything else but harm.[/indent] [hider=Sample of Spells] [list] [*][b]Ehwaz - Rune of Strength:[/b] A common rune capable of being placing onto an object to increase its strength and durability akin to metal if its an inferior material. If placed on a metal, its durability is increased at a reduced amount but still functions as normal. However, if cast on his body (his arms generally), it temporarily gives him strength to do a variety of things and no doubt allow him to easily harm the average human. It adds a good 50 lbs of weight on him when he's benching if that counts for anything.[/list] [list] [*][b]Kenaz - Rune of Sight:[/b] A more uncommon rune which can be applied to ocular devices and used for a variety of purposes. Amplification or extension of sight is simple, while piercing magical abilites may take some time to adjust the magic to see through them. When placed on himself, he can see twice as far in the light and dark than a normal person.[/list] [list] [*][b]Laguz + Sowilo + Mannaz - Runes of Healing:[/b] A common spell among runecaster which described on their bodies can heal scrapes and bruises easily. Intended for more serious injuries, it can handle gashes and wounds up to moderate severity before actually requiring real medical attention. In cases of severe or fatal damage, it can stabilize the person in a single burst of energy and slowly continue to knit the body together but they will still be in a terrible condition if not taken to a doctor. [/list] [list] [*][b]ThursHagal - Strengthened Runes of Shielding:[/b] A combined rune of protection which is used in more magical battles, capable of defending the common spell thrown by a witch. Sufficient for most curses that are cast from afar as well which will be negated by this spell. Using it during battle is usually difficult or impossible but when placed on a object, it will indeed ward away spells and block them when hit. On apparrel, it protects against the magic of negative intent which is useful when placed on them[/list] [list] [*][b]Hagalaz + Laguz + Isa + Nauthiz - Protective Runes of Endurance and Retaliation:[/b] Another sentence of runes which no true practioneer of runic magic shouldn't know. It protects against both physical and mystical attacks, using their energy to reinforce and fuel the spell itself. Any magic left from the runes after each attack will be transfer into a single point where once passed will unleashed the stored energy as a powerful counterattack.[/list] [list] [*][b]NauthHagal - Runes of Good Luck:[/b] Akin to the good luck charms of the eastern practices, this runes provides the same effect. While you're probably not going to win the lottery. it'll certainly help and slightly improve everyday life if applied onto an object to be carried around. Applying this onto the body will give a small boost to luck for a short instance but will face a surprisingly drain of stamina that approaches the point of exghaustion (trying to control fate ain't going to be easy). [/list] [list] [*][b]Frgïle + NauthUr - Strengthened Runes of Deteriorating Luck:[/b] The first curse of the list, imbued usually in an object which will radiate its magic onto its victims. Causing a moderate decrease in luck to the person or place that it was set which will continue until the object the spell is casted on is destroyed. If casting this rune onto himself, it must be something that Daniel really must want to fail to do so which will most likely fail. [/list] [list] [*][b]Frgïle + ThursFaHagal - Strengthened Runes of Fire Cage:[/b] The first defensive spell on the list, it is a combination of runes which when cast will cause a powerful cage of fire to trap the victim in. Its naturally weak to elements that would destroy fire but resistant to those that it naturally is.[/list] [list] [*][b]Frgïle + ThursFaHagal - Strengthened Runes of Consuming Fire:[/b] The first offensive spell which when cast will create a fireball which have a soft homing effect, angling itself slightly to try and best capture its victim. It will not do instanteous 90 degree turns, but it can curve itself to chase its target if it has the space to do so or be extinguished. At its quick speed, it rarely has the change to redirect itself but when it hits its target, the flames will rarely extinguish themselves naturally. Similar to a curse which will chase its target if it ever falls away, it can only be smothered by another spell or runs out of energy to sustain itself.[/list] [list] [*][b]Frgïle + ThursFaOs - Strengthened Runes of Beam of Fire:[/b] A simple spell but power that it literally is a laser of fire which will burn through most fabrics immediately if not protected. Metal will slowly heat themselves to melting point and be destroyed within minutes depending on what it is. Its capable of inflicting second-degree burns easily and third-degree if sustained in its entirety.[/list] [list] [*][b]Frgïle + ThursIsOs - Strengthened Runes of Spear of Ice:[/b] Another simple spell which is like a toothpick going through a piece of fruit. Its sharp enough to pierce through the human body and thinner pieces of metals but is fragile compared to sturdier materials. Sharp enough to make a cut into a mature tree but not sturdy enough to pierce through against its toughness. [/list] [list] [*][b]Frgïle + ThursHagal - Strengthened Runes of Binding:[/b] An empowered curse which binds the body that it is written on, restraining the limbs from being used and slightly numbing the body for the duration. It is capable of being written on the body of the intended target for more durability or placed on a object which activated will perform the spell. Literally pages of more combination but you get the general idea...[/list][/hider] [indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjMyLmFjMTkwYy5VbVZzWVhScGIyNXphR2x3Y3csLC4wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img] [indent]N/A for now...[/indent][/indent] [hr][hr][/hider] [hider=Restruant][center][hr][color=#cecece]♠[/color] [color=firebrick]♦[/color] [color=#cecece]♠[/color] [color=firebrick]♦[/color] [color=#cecece]♠[/color] [color=firebrick]♦[/color] [color=#cecece]♠[/color][hr][/center] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjcyLmEyMTExMS5WR2hsSUVkdmJHUmxiaUJEZFhBLC4wAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img][/center] [center][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/c1/2a/e9/c12ae9b6379219facc6a6937af6e188d.jpg[/img][/center] [center][hr][color=#cecece]♠[/color] [color=firebrick]♦[/color] [color=#cecece]♠[/color] [color=firebrick]♦[/color] [color=#cecece]♠[/color] [color=firebrick]♦[/color] [color=#cecece]♠[/color][hr][/center] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI4LmEyMTExMS5UbUZ0WlRvLC4wAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img] [indent]The Golden Cup[/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI4LmEyMTExMS5SR1Z6WTNKcGNIUnBiMjQ2LjAAAAAA/romochka.regular.png[/img] [indent] The Golden Cup is a small restaurant which during its open hours during the day is a cafe and bakery which sells a variety of food to the public. Often selling coffee in the morning and afternoon to passing people in the morning along with items for breakfast or those who skipped it at lunch. However, there are other dishes which they sell for a fair meal at a reasonable price which taste great for what its worth. During the evening, it turns into less of a cafe and more into a bar where adults come out to play. Serving a variety of alcohol which he stores safely under the counter and bar where it's easily accessible yet hidable. The Golden Cup is remarkable in the fact that it's a notable place in the town of Carlsford and a popular place for tourists. The place is well staffed to handle it's size as a multi-storied building and has an upstairs which is accessible by stairs. It is big enough to host a restaurant on the bottom floor and serve as suitable living quarters for Daniel with a Master Bedroom along with a bathroom connected to it. Underneath the restaurant, there is a basement which is secured by a hefty door which is locked by two deadbolts from each side and magically reinforced by magic. It guards the storage of materials used to supply the restaurant that are needed and more, anything else is placed into the kitchen. Its a perfect spot to perform anything magical which he doesn't want anyone to see and well secured to prevent the ordinary person from entering. [/indent] [/hider]
