{ P a r t 3 }


{ F a m i l y : }
Samantha Morgan Croix- At forty-nine, Sam has officially been dubbed the best mother any asshole could ever ask for. By Danny and the rest of her sons, the only people who really matter, of course. Seriously, Daniel knows that taking care of five boys is probably the most difficult task anyone could ask someone to do, but she's done it for all these years -and still does- with the utmost grace. Wearing a smile on her face the whole time, even as him and his brothers are the most obnoxious. As you can probably guess, Daniel is extremely protective of his mother and isn't afraid to knock anyone down a peg should they turn on her. Including his own brothers. Correction: especially his older brothers.
Nicklaus Croix - His father died two years ago, at age forty-six, doing what he loved: Farming. The loss of their father was something that hit the whole family hard, enough to leave even their mother momentarily frozen in time. Ultimately, it's the fact that the farm meant so much to his father that caused Danny to man up and decide he would take care of the farm. For his dad. Nicklaus had never, not once, given up on it, and shed blood, sweat, and tears in that farm to support his family. And Daniel is willing to do the same. Besides, if they were to sell the land? It would be like selling a part of their father's memory.
Vincent "Vince" Joseph Criox- Vince is the oldest of the Croix boys and, at twenty-nine, he's made a pretty good life for himself. He's married, -to a girl that, personally, Danny's never been a fan of, but to each his own- has a house of his own, a job, and is expecting a child in a few months. He visits every so often and a few times during harvest season to help Danny out with the family farm. Out of all his brothers, Vincent is probably the one Daniel clashes with the most. Why? Because there's always going to be this part of Danny that thinks that, as the oldest, Vince should have been willing to jump in to help with the farm too.
Taylor Rowan Croix- The newly wedded brother Taylor was the brother the whole family assumed would be the last to actually get married. Aside from Seth, of course, who’s still very much so living up to his title. Taylor, on the other hand, finally managed to settle down at twenty-five. He’s the jokester of the family, the one who always manages to find humor in everything. The comic relief when you need it most, the annoying one who won’t shut up when you don’t. Aside from Danny, Taylor was actually the son who took the death of their father the hardest and it’s something he still struggles with. That’s not to say it didn’t hit all the brothers hard, because it did. Depending on your family as much as the Croixs always have means they’re a lot closer than some families.
Declan "Dec" Jace Croix- Declan is somewhat of the black sheep of the family, both physically and mentally. He’s the brother with the lightest hair, the one with blue eyes in the midst of all green, and just overall the son who resembles his father the most. He was the brother who moved out of the as soon as possible: eighteen. Dec has always been the most distant of all the brothers, even at the little kiddie stage of things, and it’s because of this that Danny really doesn’t know that much about him. While the brothers would be out on the farm playing football or soccer or whatever else would occupy their time, Dec was the one who stayed inside, either helping his mom cook or practicing his abilities.
Seth Darkmyr Croix- Twenty years old, Seth is the brother most famous for being the playboy of the house. He also has it in his mind that he's some sort of appointed cupid and is constantly assuring his youngest brother he could hook him up with a nice girl to get their mother off his back. Yeah, like he trusts Seth with his love life. Riight, that'd be a smart idea. But despite their differences, Danny’s actually the closest with this brother. Maybe it has something to do with their close age, but Seth is the one who knows Daniel’s honest opinion on basically everything. In other words, if you ever needed dirt on Danny boy here? Seth would be the one to go to. You’d just have to get creative as to how you get him to spill.

{ W e a k n e s s e s : }
Assuming- Danny has this really bad habit of jumping to conclusions about things. Most of the time, his assumptions are centered around people. Yup, he's a bit of a judgmental jerk at times. If you strike him as the type of person he wouldn't willingly hang out with? Welp. Good luck getting him to tolerate you, meaning being in your company for anything longer than five seconds maximum? Not likely. And it would be one thing if his snap judgments were right- but ninety-five percent of the time? He's so off base, it's rather pitiful. Daniel would have so many more friends if he didn't make assumptions about people, instantly writing them off.


{ H i s t o r y } Samantha Morgan and Nicklaus Croix were that couple you read about in books, the ones you see in movies and can’t help but smile at. Just because it’s so picture-perfect, it seems too good to be true. But, believe it or not, it was real. They met when Samantha was seventeen and Nicklaus was sixteen and, according to Nick, he knew from the moment he laid eyes on her that she was the one he would wind up marrying. Maybe it was because of his precognition ability, or just the fact that love at first sight really does exist. Either way, they wound up getting married a year later and, because of their young age, people made the mistake of labeling them a divorce in the making. Well, guess what? That never happened. In fact, Daniel’s parents were probably the happiest couple in all of Asteria, despite the fact that money came in short supply and the only way they could hope to make a living was from the inherited farm on Nicklaus’s side.

A year later, their first son was born. Vincent was their pride and joy and even five years later, after the birth of their second son Taylor, they were those rare parents who knew the perfect way to love both of them simultaneously, something all kids seem to worry about. Then, three years later, Declan was born, Seth and finally Daniel following. Despite the high possibility of them going hungry when the farm stuttered to supply what it should, Nicklaus always had an answer. He was always able to provide for his family even when eating seemed so unlikely because food seemed so far away. It was a talent, something Daniel had always admired about his father and something he secretly hopes he’ll be able to do one day for his own family. If, you know, he ever actually has one.

As for the brothers? Well, they did what brothers always do. Mess with each other, tease and push one another to always do better, be better than they were yesterday. And they made helping around the farm into a game, a challenge to see who could pull the most crops in one day or who could pull a set amount of corn husks off the fastest. It was Vincent, the oldest, who normally came up with the game and set the rules and the rest of the brothers went along with it, just happy to have something to do. It was during that time when Daniel met Renee. She wasn’t like most girls their age, the ones who played with dumb dolls and wore stuff all over their faces. Yeah, Danny to this day believes natural beauty is the way to go.

Renee wasn’t afraid to get muddy and she kept up with all the Croix boys and their competitive games. The fact that she beat him was ultimately what won his respect for her. And as they grew up together, riding horses bareback and having mud fights, Daniel came to realize something. The girl he called a best friend was actually really, really pretty, something that had never occurred to him before. Even with her pants torn from falling in the grass or dirt smeared on her rosy cheeks. Of course, she was still a girl and, at twelve, girls were. . . . Girls. But she was the prettiest he knew and the one and only who wasn’t afraid to get her hands a little dirty. In other words, the least of all evils.

But things change, don’t they? And it was a year later when she was suddenly gone and, at twenty three, so was his older brother. Vincent had moved out at the same time Daniel lost his best friend –for a reason he didn’t really understand until a few years later after his mother gently explained that they were able to make a better life for themselves- and Taylor, who was eighteen, no longer found playing with his youngest brother to be a priority. Seeing as how Declan was. . . Well Declan, that left Seth. Who discovered that girls weren’t quite as bad as he’d once thought. So that pretty much left Daniel alone. Instead of dwelling on all that he’d lost so suddenly, he instead focused on the farm. Focused on helping his dad harvest things, learning the tricks of the trade. And he quickly learned that farming, doing something that took so little thought and much more brute strength, was an easy way to forget about everything. To just focus on the burn of his muscles and be distracted from the world for a few hours.

And then his world completely blew up four years later, when Daniel was seventeen and had long since developed a sort of cynical view of anything and everyone who wasn’t his family. One moment, things were fine, he was focusing on pulling the tomatoes that had finally come in, and the next? The next, his father was one the ground, hand clutching his chest and making these awful gasping sounds. Danny had yelled for his mother after running to his dad’s side, but it was over much too quick for anyone to really do anything. His dad was dead at forty-six and Daniel’s whole life felt like a lie. How was it possible to be laughing and joking with someone and end that same very day by making funeral arrangements for that same person? Danny’s eyes had never really been open to death before but now it was sucker-punching him in the gut.

Vincent, Taylor, and Declan all came home within that week and the house was a whirlwind of activity. All except their mother, who had shut the door to her room and stayed there for a solid day. It was like she was trying to shut the world out because she didn’t know how to handle being without Nicklaus. Which was understandable, considering Daniel had always believed they were the true definition of soulmates. It wasn’t until Danny was boiling hot water in an attempt to make something edible for his mother, Vincent and Seth had started arguing and Vince wound up shoving Seth after a comment about how it was stress and their oldest brother should have been there helping him. Seth had fallen back against Danny at the stove and, one second he was trying to move the pot of water, and the next it was sloshing all over his arm. Now, Daniel’s not ashamed to say he cried. The water was hot enough to leave burn marks that he has to this very day, for Christ’s sake. He’s not immune to pain.

But the sound of her youngest baby screaming profanities through his tears was a wake-up call for their mother. She instantly jumped back into the game like she’d never left and, even though he wound up with a second degree burn, Danny wouldn’t have changed the events even if he could. Not knowing it’s what pulled his mom out of her tail-spinning. After that, it was decided that Daniel and Seth would be the ones to take care of the farm. After all, Vincent, Taylor, and Declan were all making names for themselves in the world, right? And even after Seth offered to stay home and help by the time it came for him to move out, Daniel let him go. Who was he to deny his brother the opportunity to make a life for himself?

Daniel took over the duty of the farm solo and has remained there since.

"What've you got to be sad about, Danny? Smile okay, baby boy? Your dad would have wanted you to."
"What are you talkin' about, ma? I'm happy as a clam."



{ N a m e : } Daniel Tyson Croix
N i c k n a m e : Tyson, Ty. Danny, Danny-boy. Just, for the love of God, not Dan. No. Just no. Please. Something about that nickname just grates on his nerves: It's right up there with the name Bill or Bob. He may work for a living, yeah, but he's no hick.

{ A g e : } Nineteen, the youngest in a household full of older brothers -which is a chore in itself- who've teased him about carrying his own weight pretty much since he began talking. Which came relatively early, because this kiddie? Yeah, he was a talker.
B i r t h d a y : January 1st
Z o d i a c : ♑ Capricorn ♑



{ G e n d e r : } Masculine. Working on a field, as well as having those pesky brothers who insist on using each other as punching bags, has made sure of that.
S e x u a l . O r i en t a t i o n : Heterosexual
R e l a t i o n s h i p. S t a t u s: While it would probably make Mrs. Croix the happiest woman on earth to finally get rid of her son see him married off, Daniel's never really given relationships much thought. Sure, he's been with girls before, but never anything serious. Someone who has to constantly make sure the family's source of income is kept up doesn't really have much time for love or anything even in that proximity. What can he say, he's a momma's boy, and making sure she has food on the table will always be his top concern.



{ S o c i a l. S t a t u s : } There was a time there when the Croixs were piss poor, could barely afford food to keep the kids from gnawing on their own feet. But somehow, they managed. Maybe that had something to do with the farm they fought to keep in operating shape? But of course, when the crops struggle, so does the family, so it really all depends on whether or not the field decides to behave. But even when they're able to produce something worth selling at the market, Daniel's family isn't the most fortune or financially-advanced one around. They live on the shader side of town, something that's sort of shaped him into he is today: a snarky smartass who's only gotten away with it because this farmer knows how to defend himself, believe it or not.
{ P o w e r : }
Astral Project - This is the ability to enter and travel on astral plane by separating mentally from Danny's physical body. Of course, this leaves his physical body extremely vulnerable and he's yet to figure out how to exit. . . Gently, if you will. Meaning his body often times will simply collapse to the ground once his astral self leaves it, like deflated balloon. But on the bright side, he's able to phase through physical objects and occasionally interact with the things in his environment -and even people- should he be emotionally stable. Yeah, forgot to mention that, did I? It takes an intense amount of concentration to be able to touch things in his astral form and, often times, that's an impossibility when his emotions are running high. Because Danny's a relatively emotional person, you just have to know his tells to be able to notice it. Oh, and his astral form is invisible, by the way. score.



{ A p p e a r a n c e : }




(view spoiler)[

(hide spoiler)]

H a i r . C o l o r : While most people residing in the kingdom of Asteria have light colored hair, the Croix family has always been a rather prominent exception. Seeing as how his father had dirty blonde hair and his mother's had dark brown locks from the day she was born, you can probably guess that the whole family has relatively dark hair. Danny, along with all of this brothers except for Declan, have darker colored hair, taking after their mother. Just like with everything else, the resemblance between Daniel and his mother is rather uncanny.
E y e . C o l o r : Danny's eyes are a rather intense shade of green, the outside of his iris colored with a starburst that appears to be somewhere lost between a brown and a yellowish gold. All the Croix boys, along with their mother, have mirroring eyes, so it's not like his eyes are particularly anything special. Declan's the one Croix son whose eye color differs, the reason for the brothers constantly joking that Dec is a mutant, his blue eyes seemingly have came from no where.
B u i l d : I mean, Daniel works on a farm. He's constantly lugging around hay, heavy barrels, yanking crops from their deep roots in the earth, and carrying boxes full of whatever they've happened to harvest that season. Seeing as how he's really the only one who works the farm while his mother cares for the numerous animals, he's sort of had to develop quite a lot of muscle. Otherwise, he'd probably be tipped over by the weight of all the things he hoists in his arms. Farmers have it a lot harder than they're given credit for, the main reason he can take off his shirt and feel confident about what the world sees. As well as being a fit kid, to say the least, Danny stands at 5'10", an inch or so taller than the average male mentalist.
D i s t i n c t i v e . M a r k i n g s : He has a tattoo. A single one, the top of a stopwatch all that's visible up to the waistband of his pants. Meaning, unless you just so happen to catch him without bottoms on? You'll likely never know just how far down that particular ink goes. Or what it says under said stopwatch. Along with the tattoo, Danny boy also has burn marks –which have long since done their best to heal naturally, not that it necessarily did any good- on the inside of his forearm.
D r e s s i n g . S t y l e : Their family has never really had much time to be considered with things like style. Considering they have to struggle to pay for food, fancy clothing is the least of their concerns. Typically, Danny can be found in a simple pair of a nameless pair of jeans, no doubt mud splattered and torn. You know, the type of tears that clearly weren't intentional. As for shirts? Well, if he hasn't opted out of that option, wife beaters -as in, the sleeveless shirts and not the disgusting excuses for men who do things that make his fists curl- and short sleeves are about the only thing in his dresser. Seeing as how he has hot blood, it's rare for him to ever really get cold and the one jacket he owns is a plaid zip-up that used to be his fathers. Meaning if you touch it without his consent? He may just break your finger.





{ P e r s o n a l i t y : } At one point in his life, Daniel would have been the boy who gave anyone a chance. Who smiled at the smallest of things and found fun in doing something stupid like playing tug on his family’s farm. The brother quick to laugh and even quicker to help. At one point, Danny was even happy. I know, crazy right? But life forces you to grow out of that immaturity and face the reality of the world: That it’s a cold place. Money makes who you are and if you don’t have a lot of it, then you’re nothing special. Not worth a second glance. Because of where he lives, this is a notation that’s constantly being highlighted by every faintly disgusted look he gets from nobility. One of the many reasons for sarcasm and smartassery as his defense.

Don’t get me wrong: Danny’s lips still quirk up on occasion. He still laughs when the moment strikes him as fit to do so. But it no longer has the same innocent intent it used to. His smiles are more so smirks than anything else and his chuckles are one of mocking amusement. Instead of competitive games being the way of proving his worth, it’s now fistfights to verify that he is, in fact, capable to defending himself and his mother. That, if you want to test him, go ahead and try: he can play the game right back.

Daniel’s also extremely bold: if he thinks you’re using him, that you’re a shallow person, or just generally thinks you’re a waste of the oxygen you just breathed into your lunges, he will let you know exactly what he thinks. And no, he’s not blunt about it, either: he’s worse. He lets smart remarks and insulting comments do the talking for him and it’s only when you’re still not getting it will he straight up let you know that he. Doesn’t. Like. You. For whatever the reason, when Danny’s made up his mind about something or someone, it’s very unlikely for him to ever go back on it. He’s just that stubborn, refusing to give anyone that satisfaction of knowing he’s second-guessing how he originally pegged you. Ahaha, no.

He’d rather loose the possibility of you becoming one of his few friends than admit he was wrong. Concerned about his pride much? Yeah. Maybe just a little.

That’s not to say Daniel’s a completely horrible person. If nothing else, this boy is loyal. He is literally like that hound from The Odyssey, the one who waits all those years for his master Odysseus to come home before dying. Should you actually manage to mean something to him, he will go to the ends of the earth to insure that you’re taken care of. Like his mother and the fact that he’d given up any chance at having his own life to take care of the farm. When this boy cares, he cares a lot. Deeply, the type that would be impossible to uproot just because there is really no place where his love doesn’t touch. Yeah, the extent at which he cares is pretty massive. But it’s rarely something he just gives out, so don’t hold your breath for it.

{ S t r e n g t h s : }
Emotions- It's kind of something that's both a strength and weakness just because of the magnitude at which he feels things. When something hits Danny boy, it hits him hard. He's relatively skilled at hiding any hints of these emotions though, having a great poker face, but should you be one of the few people who knows him well enough? You become accustom to his tells. The twitching muscle in his jaw or tightened hands when his pissed. The way a single eyebrow raises when he's surprised. The sparkle in his eyes when he's pleasantly caught off guard. Knowing how to read all of this is a little like it’s own separate science.

@Antonia: No, no worries !
Whenever you get a chance is completely fine, no rush ^^

@Cece: Injured ? Twat ? ;o
