COLOR NAME REFERENCE

Color name reference recognized. Daniel means God is my judge when translated from Hebrew, and sayings pertaining to Christianity often calls forth an image of holy light or the color white.

APPEARANCE

Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue, ladies or lads might love it. Nothing to detract from. No problems here.

PERSONALITY

The doubtful leader. The personality works, seeing some doubt and grind against people he can't quite get along with, but still being there for them. Sounds very real from an actual leader perspective. It would be interesting to see if his time in Menagerie might allow him to relax his realistic ways a bit. No obvious contradictions. No major problems here.

BACKSTORY

Growing up, striving for the glory he may one day receieve. Daniel's backstory paints him well as the ambitious hero, something I like. It's good to see him strive to be the best and struggling with it. Noted presence in Vytal Festival. No stepping on canon toes. No problems here.

WEAPONS AND COMBAT

Weapons are within guideline specifications. We have a set of dual, non-transforming primaries in the form of his Dao swords. They seem to be well defined, it's good that you mention their Dust capabilities. It's also nice to see him honor his grandfather by using his preferred weapons. No problems here.

As for Daniel's combative ability, they seem reasonable. His fighting style is laid out fully, with his focus on switching offensive and defensive strategies in close quarters. It's good to note that he has skills when fighting unarmed, but that they are limited in a sense. No problems here.

SEMBLANCE

Predatory Glare as a Semblance, I would say works. It isn't crazy, and it can be resisted. From what I can read, it seems passive in nature, but it has enough conditions that needs to be met. I assume that the Semblance requires actual, direct eye contact. Because if it's just happens to cross his eyes, that... that would be too much. No major problems here.

CONCLUSION: ACCEPTED

'''Daniel seems to be a perfectly fine character. He doesn't have a too dark backstory, he has a realistic response to his sudden peers. His weapons are not only fitting, they have a very grounded choice behind them. All in all, solid effort.'''
