Personality: Ambitious, hard-working, and extremely competitive, Danny has established himself as the heart-and-soul of Coastal Daytona Academy's defense since taking over as the defensive captain of the varsity football team in his junior year. Being the son of the head football coach, who was also an ex-NFL player, Danny has always felt as though he had to prove himself, to work hard, and to earn his own stripes in the backdrop of his father's shadow. Danny can come off as unsympathetic at times, even too serious in his dealings with his fellow players, yet always plays with a fire and passion that frequently inspires others, challenging them to play their hearts out as well. Danny takes his academics just as seriously as he does his sports, mostly due to his father's unwavering demand that his son remains on the honor roll in order to partake in athletics of any sort.
Sexual Orientation: "0" on Kinsey Scale
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good
Personal Skills: Danny has developed excellent memory, has superb fitness, and is extremely confident in his ability to get any job done. Danny is also quite the womanizer, and has scored many an occasion -- having become quite the object of desire for many girls on campus. His family legacy, and influence, on both Coastal Daytona Academy as well as on himself, personally, has also made him feel as though he has more responsibility on campus, and thus has taken upon himself to conduct his affairs with propriety in his dealings with students and faculty alike.
Personal Vulnerabilities: Danny is not exactly the most gregarious person, ceding to guys like Rick Palermo in that category, and sometimes allows people to get under his skin. Danny has an unhealthy obsession of dwelling on little things, always trying to achieve perfection, and will frequently beat himself over when he fails to live up to his own expectations -- which are mounting, due to his living in his father's tremendous shadow, feels as though any personal failure will let down so many others in his own family, and others, who have invested time and attention into forming him into what he is today.
Biography: Unsurprisingly, Daniel has always felt as though he had to live up to his father's image and (sometimes unrealistic) expectations set of him as a result of his immediate lineage. His parents had always pressured Daniel to excel in school, as well as in sports, yet he had since taken those expectancies upon himself and has developed an unhealthy self-demand of sheer perfectionism. This has always been the case for him throughout his middle school and, particularly, high school years. Daniel has lived his entire life in Daytona Beach, raised in a relatively middle-class family, and has decided he will attempt to play collegiate, and even professional, football for as long as he can -- though with the preference for doing both outside of the state of Florida.
Other: Starting middle-linebacker, and defensive captain, of the CDA football team. Son of Coach Carl and cousin to Sophia, Sydney, Scott, and Sean Taylor.
