[COLOR=C0C0C0][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]Appearance[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]Slim to an extent that is worrisome. His clothes don't seem to completely fit him, and while it isn't obvious in a slight glance, further inspection shows that he was once much more rotund. When he's not wearing his work clothes, he tends to still dress in a now-ill fitting tweed jacket and slacks. It almost makes him look professorial. [i]Almost.[/i] He wears thick, round glasses over his face, and if times had not been so harsh on him, he would almost look handsome. His beard, thin and wiry, covers most of his face. At times, he appears as a man who has been lost at sea for many years. His hair is tar-black and straight, combed and treated with pomade; the one luxury he allows himself. His eyes are stark gray, and are magnified by his glasses.  [/INDENT][/INDENT]
[COLOR=C0C0C0][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]Personality[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]Daniel Marlowe is a smart man. A very intelligent man. A young man who-if he had applied himself at another time-could be teaching the brightest minds in the world before he turned 30. Obsessed with reading books and learning over hard work and turning a profit; his personality has always trended towards the introvert over the extrovert. He is a man who if given the chance, however, can fall into a loquacious diatribe about the importance of classical literature, the idiocy of the popularity of phrenology, the dangers of European politics and the sort. Needless to say, this has not earned him many friends among the fieldhands. 

But beyond his obsession with learning, he is a sad and tortured man. Denied his dreams, he has become bitter and angry over the fact that he has to work under an old racist bastard who probably wouldn't know Goethe if the man came back from the dead and bit him on his ass. 

Still, he is a man who, if the olive branch is extended, will make friends with anyone. A student of progressive education, Daniel rebukes social norms and is willing to break bread with anyone, regardless of their history. [/INDENT][/INDENT]
[COLOR=C0C0C0][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]History[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]Born to an upper middle class family in Atlanta Georgia in 1910, Daniel was just a child when his eldest brother Charlie left to fight in the great war. Charlie returned in 1920, barely able to speak due to damage of mustard gas. The vision of his childhood hero broken spurred Daniel on into more liberal and progressive ideals, and he became an early student of progressive education, reading the works of Dewey, Steiner and Monstressori. His time in higher education introduced him to some of the finer points in a civilized society, such as polo and horse riding, fine dining, riding in cars and other such things. But sadly these things were not meant to last. Beyond just the reading of progressive education, he fell into groups of students who believed that education should belong to all people, regardless of race, gender, religion, etc. This led to a falling out with his family, and his first job teaching at a public school in Atlanta in 1929. 

By mid-1931 his school had closed. Over 1300 schools had closed across Georgia by the end of that year, and Daniel was forced to look elsewhere for work. He was unable to find it, finally settling in Cypress Hollow, working for the Tackett Farmstead. This work has not suited him mentally, and he had little love for his employer as well. Still, his position as the most literate man on a farm did come with its perks. Being able to read for some of the least literate farm hands did well enough to make him a few friends around the barns. [/INDENT] [/INDENT]

Beyond his simple clothes provided by the farm, Daniel also has a second set of clothes that look slightly more respectable: a tweed jacket, slacks, and scuffed boots that make him seem as if he is from a better station than he is truly from. Daniel also keeps several books of differing disciplines, from education to chemistry and architecture. Daniel also keeps a leatherbound journal and pen on his person at all times, and while his eyesight is poor (and forces him to wear his glasses) he is still keen at observing important things: all of which go into his journal.
