How did I get here?
...What have I done...
To some his face might be familiar. His reputation as the former Police Captain of SAPD really only circulates among those in the Force or those with family members in the Force. But even then.. First arriving here, he didn't exactly look like the same man. Sure, he still had that intimidating presence, and still preferred drinking alone. But those blue eyes weren't nearly as bright as they once were. His clean shaven appearance had given way to scruff, a gift from being retired for a few years. To those very few who approach him, asking him if he is THE Donnie Darko... He would only shrug and reply with a very simple,
"Don't know him."
It took a lot of self convincing. Or maybe just one more hellish night of insomnia and bad thoughts that pushed him to do it. Leaving in the middle of the night, he found himself walking right into BCPD with a fire in his eyes. One that had been extinguished from the moment he was handed his severance package from SA. His reputation alone was enough for him to earn a spot on the force. Though what he didn't expect was the offer of being Captain of their new unit... Counter Supernatural and Special Operations Bureau (CSSO). Little did the Chief know, but Darko has had his fair share of run ins with the supernatural and probably has endured countless of wrongdoings with one demon in particular. For Darko, it was a natural contract to sign.
Personality wise, he doesn't speak much about his past or how he got to Basin City. Hell, he doesn't speak much at all. You just have to look into those faded blues, and see that he has lifetimes of pain and turmoil still hidden away there.
What he won't say out loud, not even to himself.. Is that this city is to be his new start. A new life away from that reputation he once held in a city not too far away. Yes, he is THE Donnie Darko. But he will never fucking admit it at all.
