General Appearance: Medium build, deceptively strong, lightly tanned skin. 
Short hair always brushed back, clean shaven. His eyes are the window to his 
soul, and usually reflect how he's feeling.

Background: Daniel lived a fairly comfortable life as a child, but his 
family didn't stay in one place too often. Through it all, Daniel learned to 
respect the law, and he admired those who kept it. He was also fascinated by 
the thought of being on a starship, as he had been planet-bound all his 
life.

At the urging of his mother, who disliked violence of all kinds, Daniel 
became a journalist. He published one major article, which questioned the 
Federation's commitment to peaceful exploration. It was widely criticized as 
being "the rants of a young man who has no idea about the real world". After 
some careful thought, Daniel gave up journalism and decided to pursue his 
original dream: to become someone who protected the peace. Soon after, 
Daniel applied to Starfleet Academy to become a security officer, and was 
accepted.

In his second year, Daniel was in a shuttle accident which killed everyone 
on board except himself. Though the file was sealed (and Daniel cleared of 
any responsibility) the accident still remains in Daniel's memory.

Shortly after graduating from the Academy, on the way to what he thought was 
his first assignment, Daniel was approached by a group of people who claimed 
to be rebelling against Starfleet. They had heard about Daniel's 
journalistic work, and asked him to join their cause. He agreed, and they 
sent him to the Cromwell.

Personal Profile: Daniel is a private person, though he interacts easily 
with his crewmates. He doesn't like talking about himself, and is a good 
listener. He is loyal to his friends, but sometimes has a hard time making 
them.

Daniel likes his work, and takes pride in doing a good job. He's patient, 
and is very cool-headed. Sometimes he's a little too serious, and needs to 
relax.
