Character Information
Known History
Basic Timeline:
1986 – Born somewhere in the midlands
2000 – Taken by the Fae
2006 – Escaped the Fae with LX and starts working as a mercenary
2007 - Forms a motley called The Self Preservation society with LX, Quill and Charlie Tyrrell
Current Activities:
Mercenary offering his services to the local Lost. He's also been Maze diving and hedge prospecting with his motley mates. Danny makes a point of helping to keep the freeholds hollow in good repair and will gladly offer his aid to anyone looking to build, expand or repair a hollow, at a price of course. Lately Danny can often be found 'patrolling' the outer edge of Edinburgh looking out for signs of trouble (Danny is acting as City-Warder but hasn't been given the position officially and he's unlikey to ask for it).
Merit Details:
Mantle - Danny is a young and inexperienced member of the Summer court
Court goodwill - Danny's work with the Autumn court has earned him a little goodwill from them
Brawling dodge - Danny knows how to defend as well as lay down the punches
Shared hollow - Danny has done (and will continue to do) his bit for the freeholds hollow, mostly by using his control over stone/metal and his skills as a craftsman to keep the structure of the hollow sound. Lately he's spent a resonable amount of time putting the hollows library in order and making it fit for uses.
Shared Hollow - The motley that Danny is a part of has a Hollow somewhere outside the city bounds. He does his part to keep it in good shape.
Harvest (Hedge bounty) - Danny's patroling of the hedge means he knows of a number of spots where he can pick up a goblin fruit or two.
Resources - Danny's meager resources come from his work as a mercenary and hedge prospector (selling some of his share to the wealthier members of his motley etc) He also does odd jobs for a number of members of the freehold.
Strong Back - Danny is good at heavy lifting
Perfect Stillness - Danny has a knack for standing still
Background:
Danny still doesn't remember much from before he was taken. He's certain that he used to live in the midlands, that Danny Axon is his real name, that he was born in 1986 and as such is 21 years old. However he cannot remember who his parents are or exactly where he lived. Short of looking up every Mr and Mrs Axon in the midlands (and he's not certain they still live there) Danny doesn't really know how to go about reclaiming his old life and even though he'd quite like to forget about his durance and move on he can't. His anger at his Keeper is too great and won't let him until adequate vengeance has been taken. While in Arcadia he was set to guard a secret underground tunnel out of his keepers castle and promptly forgotten about (or at least it seemed that way). With nothing but rats to eat and a little moisture that would drip from the walls of the tunnel to drink it wasn't long before he fell into a deep sleep. After what seemed like an age Danny awoke to find that he had begun to turn into stone and his form was taking on the likeness of a Gargoyle. Still no one can near the tunnel and so again he fell into a deep slumber. Then one day he was roused by someone coming down the tunnel. This was the first time Danny met LX. LX was escaping and at the time Danny simply couldn't remember what he was meant to do, so he allowed LX to pass and after a short pause for though decided to go with him, LX was after all the first person he'd seen for a very very long time. The two Lost stumbled out of the hedge together and into Edinburgh and have been friends ever since. Free at last but with nothing to there name's, Danny and LX started to offer there services in whatever manner was needed to the local changeling's and are beginning to get there feet on the ground.
