He likes people, likes to get to know new people but unless they're fellow hunters he doesn't really let new people into his life. He feels it's safer for normal people that way, he doesn't want to bring the dangers of his life into their lives and still feels a large amount of guilt over the death of his wife. He tries not to dwell on pain and guilt though, Dan has become very good at compartmentalizing his emotions and not dealing with them. He keeps himself busy with hunting and training in order to avoid remembering what he's lost. Most of them time he just feels numb and to make himself feel more alive he searches for risks and danger; anything to get a rush of adrenalin. Sometimes it's picking a fight, sometimes it's hunting something dangerous and sometimes it's just gambling with money or possessions. [/indent] [indent] Despite his predilection for danger he is a good hunter. He respects and obeys the leaders of the towns he travels through, he'll speak up if he disagrees with a decision but unless he has an ethical reason not to he will follow orders. He is very loyal to any hunting party he is a part of and is protective of his fellow hunters and of other humans. He rarely has a second thought about rushing into danger especially if it is to help another. The work they do is important, and while he didn't always put hunting first he does now. Dan is impulsive, he listens to his gut and his heart over his head and while he isn't always right his intentions are almost always good. He can be hot headed, especially in a fight and he's doesn't easily forgive those who betray his trust.

He has a conceal and carry permit but normally doesn't carry guns with him unless he's actively hunting as it draws attention and of course he has silver bullets. His favorite weapon is a recurve bow, used for both hunting animals and vampires. He has a variety of arrows; traditional wooden ones, carbons with silver tips, and of course regular arrows for animal hunting. He’s descent with bladed weapons such as an ax, sword, or machete, but like with guns doesn’t carry those on his person unless he’s going after a vampire. Around his neck is a silver Celtic cross, a gift from his mother.

He trains almost daily to stay in top physical condition; as human he is already at a disadvantage hunting the supernatural so he does whatever he needs to do to improve his odds. He keeps his hair short and his facial hair well-trimmed somewhere between a shadow and a light scruff. His eyes are bright blue, though not as bright as they once were, he has a much harder and world weary look to him than he did as a younger man, but he makes the effort to smile and present an outwardly friendly appearance. His clothing choices are almost always casual, hunting boots or sneakers, usually jeans, t-shirts, hoodies and maybe a jacket if it's really cold or a flannel shirt. His clothes fit loosely enough that they don't constrict movement but not to the point where they look baggy. Wyatt hates wearing suits or a tie, unless there's a funeral, wedding, or something of that nature he won't be dressing up. He wears silver Celtic cross given to him by his mother and a plain gold wedding band that he’s just not ready to take off. [/indent] | [color=Cyan][b]Other[/b][/color] | [indent]He seems to almost always be snacking on something; apples, almonds, and carrots are his snacks of choice as he likes a good crunch. His main hobbies are archery and bow hunting, gambling, and playing pool. He loves to tell hunting stories, especially with other vampire hunters and almost always exaggerates them. He absolutely hates situations which he has no control over, people who complain, and cowards. Wyatt has a fear of flying although he’d never admit it, and mild claustrophobia.[/indent] [IMG]https://78.media.tumblr.com/51743a721775db794d5dc83f2528f7e8/tumblr_mz55w0Cqqo1qi3oh4o1_500.gif[/img] | [color=Cyan][b]History[/b][/color] | [indent] Wyatt was born into hunting, his father and mother both had been hunters and while they gave him a normal childhood they also encouraged him to take up activities like boxing, archery, and survival skills. His mother worked as a chef and his father would frequently be on long business trips but as a child he was never sure what exactly his father did. His mother had temporarily given up hunting to raise him but his father would travel to take part in hunts hoping to keep the violence of it away from his family. They lived a fairly simple life, his parents didn't have much but Wy always had what he needed. Their backyard was basically a forest and he was almost always outside exploring it. His father started teaching him to hunt animals at eight and he had a natural talent for archery. He always looked forward to the family camping trips they would take and hunting with his dad. [/indent] [indent] He was thirteen when his family was attacked by man during a camping trip. His mother died protecting him before his father killed the man by shooting an arrow through his heart. The strangest thing was how that man unnaturally withered into dust. It was that night that his father explained to him about the existence of vampires. The man that had attacked them was vampire, a member of a coven his father had hunted who had come looking for revenge. After the death of his mother he and his father moved around a lot. Wy was trained to be hunter and he spent all his spare time training and learning. He did well enough in school to get by, but it was his hunter training that he truly focused on. At eighteen his dad started taking him on hunting trips and soon afterwards he made his first kill. His father was proud of the hunter he was becoming and of how dedicated a hunter his son was. [/indent] [indent] Eventually he and his dad grouped up with some other hunters and spent some time in Texas going after and vicious coven prying on the homeless. It was there that Wyatt met a woman, Jenny, and he was infatuated with her from the beginning. He kept hunting with his dad and their usual hunting party for a year as they dated but things began to get serious and he fell in love. Although he struggled with the decision, Wy gave up hunting the day he decided to propose, he didn't want what happened to his mother to happen to his wife to be. His father was furious, hunting was the family legacy and his father always believed hunting should come first, that it was their duty. He and his father had a huge fight and they didn't speak for months. His father didn't even show up to the wedding and a few weeks later a fellow hunter called to tell him his father had been killed raiding a vampire nest. Losing his father was difficult but his wife helped him get through it. Although he had given up hunting he still trained like a hunter, always expecting something to come after him or Jenny and eventually it did. [/indent] [indent] He was working a late shift one night when he got the call, Jenny's body had been found in a park, exsanguinated. He was informed that the baby hadn't survived either, they hadn't known about the pregnancy and he tries not to think about it as one loss was hard enough. The news broke him, he had lost everything that mattered by trying to protect them from hunter life. He quit his job and spent months drinking, grieving and tracking down the vampire that had killed his wife. When he did find the vampire, he killed it in the slowest and cruelest way he could after finding out why it had come after him and his wife. Turns out the vampire didn't even know who he was, Jenny had been a random choice and the vampire had simply been hungry that night. After that he found a new hunting party and became an even more dedicated hunter than before, it has become what he lives for. He hunts to keep the violence and tragedy away from others, those who know nothing about the monsters out there. He takes solace in his kills, every vampire he puts down is a monster that will never destroy another life. He lives a nomadic existence, keeping in contact only with other hunters, those who have made the choice to allow danger in their lives, mainly to learn of towns and cities with a vampire problem. Wyatt doesn’t put down roots, he tries not to make connections with regular people because he can’t handle the burden of bringing danger into their lives; so he keeps moving, he drinks to numb his pain, throws himself into danger to feel something other than grief and loneliness and his stubbornness allows him to convince himself that he’s doing the right thing.
