Danny Richardson is an agent trainer with the Department of Personnel . He was formerly a DMS agent in the Video Games Division until being severely injured in the field. He was created by PoorCynic.

Appearance[]

Danny is 6'1" and thin as a rail. He has short dishwater blond hair and brown eyes. He dresses quite formally for an assassin, favoring a black v-neck over a dress shirt and tie. He walks with the assistance of a brass-handled blackthorn cane. Additional images of Danny can be found here.

Personality[]

Danny is level-headed and diplomatic. He considers himself firm but fair in regards to his training regimen and does his best to make sure that every recruit he sees gets the best start possible. That being said, he is also fairly laid-back, and isn't above taking a few good-natured pot shots at both his companions and the recruits under his pervue.

Danny is 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. The subject of literature is a favorite one for him and he enjoys suggesting good titles to other agents. He despises grammatical errors and deliberately poor spelling.

Danny is also a habitual smoker, calling it a nasty little habit that he acquired in graduate school. He also enjoys Bleepka tonics and bar-centric activities such as billiards or poker.

Agent History[]

Danny fell through an unexpected plothole 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.

He was sent to the Video Game Division and partnered with Laura Dukes. The two of them were also given the intern Rachel Calendar for training purposes. Both he and Laura received praise for dealing with several noxious Left 4 Dead parodies. In mid-September 2010 HST, they were temporarily transferred into the Department of Improbable AUs as punishment for prematurely exorcising a Mass Effect parody. Their new DIAU supervisor was Cornelius, an artificial intelligence program. This arrangement lasted until November 2010, after which they returned to the DMS.

In May 2011, Danny helped defend the International Academy of Hetalia Fanfiction from a Mary Sue invasion. He was awarded the Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the Mochi (GCMG) for his assistance.

Danny suffered an injury to his leg during the course of a mission in June 2012. It was serious enough that he left the DMS to become a trainer in Personnel. He has refused cybernetic implants and instead walks with the assistance of a cane.

Danny is a member of the Pennacook Club, the PPC's only private bar.

Plot Protection Agency AU[]

An alternate version of Danny Richardson has appeared in the AU PPC known as the Plot Protection Agency. This alternate left the PPA following his injury in the field but was re-recruited a little over a year later by Madame Sub Rosa. He serves as a member of the Office of Preliminary Investigation.

Although they appear similar (including walking with the same type of cane), PPA!Danny is far more bitter and cynical than PPC!Danny. He also seems to have something of a drinking problem, picked up in the wake of his departure from the PPA. What specifically caused him to leave the PPA is not yet known in great detail, although he does assign some blame to the Flowers.
