• Description

  Daniel "Dakinu" Ferris is 4'6" and weighs 93 lbs., the average size for a rat from his area. He has light brown eyes and dark brown fur on most of his body. His hands, feet, ears, and tail are covered in light pink skin. His eyebrows are a darker shade of brown, and his hair is usually in the style of a green mohawk.. His tail also has been wrapped in a bandage near the tip, covering a nasty scar.
  
  Daniel wears mostly black leather clothing suitable for a biker or gangster. He's usually seen in a pair of jeans, and he chooses to wear a leather jacket without a shirt on regardless of weather. He wears a neckerchief around his neck, and can sometimes be seen wearing leather gloves. He also occasionally wears a backpack on his back, usually whenever he's on some sort of 'job'. On his feet are some no doubt expensive sneakers, as black in color as the rest of his clothing (Except for the green shoelaces).

• Biography

  Daniel was born into a loving family that lived in a decent neighborhood in New Jersey. He lived a moderately normal early life. He seemed to get good grades early on in school. He excelled at physical activity as well. His family was living comfortably, his mother being a successful businesswoman and his father a respected firefighter. It seemed like the perfect start to a perfect life.
  
  However, his mother's promotion to a higher position in her workplace led her to start thinking more of business growth than family enrichment. She began spending more and more time away from home, leaving her husband and son feeling completely forgotten. This led to fights between the two adults. Insults, blame, and even accusations of affairs were exchanged often between the two, some more true than others...
  
  The fighting only got worse as time went on, and eventually they decided to get a divorce. This confused Daniel, as he was still a child at the time. To make matters worse for him, his father insisted that it was Daniel's fault his mother left. It stuck with the young rat for a long, long time.
  
  Daniel's father began drinking and letting his emotions get the best of him after losing the love of his life. This led to him losing his job as well. Fueled by rage at the fact that his life was slowly falling apart, he began to mistreat his only son, Daniel. Daniel himself had his own problems at school, his grades dropping dramatically alongside his feeling of safety at home. Frustrated by his declining test scores, Daniel decided to drop out and focus on more pressing issues.
  
  Having little income to support themselves, a then teenage Daniel began resorting to thievery to keep him and his father afloat. He turned out to be quite good at this, as he had a natural gift for climbing, sneaking, and running off with stolen goods. His father didn't seem to mind the fact that he had dropped out of school to keep up his new clandestine occupation. He even yelled at him less on days when he brought in money.
  
  However, his father continually spent Daniel's 'hard earned' cash on alcohol instead of food or other essentials, leading to fights between the two. Fights that would usually get violent. One day, Daniel won one of these fights, leading to Daniel's enraged father ordering him to leave. It was an order the young rat was all too eager to obey.
  
  Having no home to speak of, no parent that wanted him, and no one but himself to rely on, Daniel had no choice but to live off the streets. He was often cold, hungry, and hunted down by the prowling gangs that owned the neighborhoods. That is, until he was found by Book, the leader of a group of freedom fighters known as TALON (True American Liberty Organization of Nationalists).
  
  Book took Daniel in and took care of him. He raised him and gave him the support that Daniel's father had forgotten how to provide. He also managed to convince Daniel to join his cell, and trained him in the use of knives, guns, and fists. Eventually he became a full fledged member of the group when he reached adulthood.
  
  For a while, things began to look up for the rat. He had the support of a father figure and a 'family' that was there when he needed them. He also enjoyed the missions he was sent on, and elected to be a courier for TALON's most sensitive documents.
  
  Until one day, after a routine delivery run, Daniel returned to his cell's headquarters only to find that it had been raided by the police. He could do nothing but watch as his friends and comrades were marched into prison vans, never to be seen again. He had no choice but to flee the scene to avoid being caught himself.
  
  Now, a few years later, Daniel is back to living on his own. This time he's older, nimbler, and much more confident than before. He keeps his connections to TALON a secret to avoid attracting the attention of the police. However, he occasionally investigates sightings of his old mentor, who had disappeared during the raid. He still makes his way as a thief and a courier, and tries to keep his skills sharp in the dangerous world he calls home.
  
  What happens next, only time will tell...
