Danny Richardson

Danny Richardson is a DMS agent in the Video Game division. He is a creation of PoorCynic.

Appearance
Danny is fairly tall and thin as a rail. His dishwater blond hair is cut very short. He dresses quite formally for a Assassin, favoring a black v-neck over a dress shirt and tie.

Background
Danny fell through an unexpected plot hole into the PPC in 2010 HST. After a few minutes of pure terror at having his view of reality rocked, he was able to adapt and applied for a position in the Department of Mary Sues. He is reluctant to talk about what he did before arriving in the PPC, calling it 'a much less interesting existence.' Some people have suggested that he was something along the lines of an English teacher, based on his dress code and intense dislike of grammatical errors.

Personality
Unlike his firebrand of a partner, Danny is level-headed and diplomatic. He prefers to act only when a suitable plan has been laid out before hand and will continue to lay out possible strategies up until the very last moment. Danny is also fairly laid back and isn't above taking a few good-natured pot shots at his companions. The one area where he is a bit sensitive is in regards to spelling and grammar. He has an extremely low tolerance for errors of that sort. Badfics with exceedingly poor grammar and spelling may send him into a sort of stunned rage, which is often accompanied by acts of intense violence.

Danny's a literati through and through. He enjoys nothing more than finding a quiet spot in PPC headquarters and holing up there with novels thick enough to crack walnuts with, which is a bit strange considering his presence in the Video Game division of the DMS. The subject of literature is a favorite one for him and he will often end up suggesting good titles to other agents.

The weaponry Danny uses on missions tends towards heavier fare. He favors shotguns in continuums that will permit them and longswords everywhere else.

Danny tends to smoke cigarettes under stress. He calls it 'a nasty little habit' that he acquired in graduate school.

Missions
