(Daniel about to engage a Brute Minor aboard the High Charity)
NAME: Daniel Anderson
AGE: 25
GENDER: Male
HAIR: Dark brown with blue streaks(dyed and spiked)
EYES: Steel gray
SKIN: Caucasian
HEIGHT: 6' 1"
WEIGHT: 189 lbs
FACTION: UNSC
CLASS: Orbital Drop Shock Trooper(ODST)
RANK: Lance Corporal
GEAR: ODST armor, UNSC shotgun, pistols(2), frag grenades(2), flashbang grenade, radio/comm, "Vicky" (combat machete), engagement ring
PERSONALITY: Daniel is very crazy when out of combat, and tends to be called an "adrenaline junkie." Plus, when in a fighting scenario, or one where any amount of "fun" is nearby, he can be quite boisterous, and, to quote superiors, "bat-shit crazy." He respects the Elites in combat, believes that Grunts are slaves, and should be saved, and despises Brutes. He has a distaste for Jackals, and thinks Hunters are incredibly weird.
HISTORY: He was born on Earth, in the North American region, to a Sergeant in the UNSC, and a civilian woman. He grew up looking up to his father, and learned the art of weapons by age 13. He was an expert marksman, and could handle sniper rifles, SMGs, Battle Rifles, machine guns, and explosives with relative ease. But his preferred gun was the Military Shotgun- he worked magic with it.
Daniel was a prime recruit, and he graduated from the UNSC's Marine Academy with flying colors, and was assigned the weapons expert in a squad of Marines handling insurgent terrorist fundamentalists. After two years, the job was finished- and the Covenant-Human war began. He fought few Elites, but many Brutes and Jackals in his service. His father, however, was killed on Harvest by a Brute Chieftain by the name of Malaccebus.
The young marine became engaged to a 23-year old woman that he met before the war named Adrienne, and is currently still her fiancee. However, he was captured by a squad of Spec Ops Brutes, and only he survived the subsequent escape attempts(by his fellow Marines) and executions by the Jiralhanae, who had recently replaced the Sangheili as the Prophets' guardians.
He was sent to the High Charity to be interrogated by a lesser Prophet- the Prophet of Charity- and his subordinates. Daniel resisted the torturous information probings, and was sent into a cell block with several other Marines. Cortana freed them, however, and the Marines are currently attempting to escape the Covenant's Holy City.
After escaping, he served in many other battles- most, if not all, of the major ones. The battles he served in are:
- Battle of Sigma Octanus IV(July 17, 2552)
- Battle of Reach(August 30, 2552)
- Battle of Installation 04(September 19th, 2552)
- First Battle of Mombasa(October 20, 2552)
- Second Battle of Earth(November 3, 2552)
- Battle of Voi(November 3, 2552)
- Battle of Installation 00(November 3, 2552)
- Battle of the Citadel(November 3, 2552)
He is known to always have "helljumped" alongside another ODST, Lance Corporal Mitch.
