Ok time to talk about the character.

Spoiler for Appearance:

Dan's appearance is as his nickname implies is hard to tell at first glance, in other words he isn't that easy to read. His hight is 161 cm, has blue eyes, which are sometimes covered by a pair of aviator sunglasses (apparently they help him concentrate) and he has short dark brown hair. Butei uniform or not he is always found wearing a woodland coloured camo jacket. His build is average but deceiving, leading people to underestimate his physical abilities. There are also two noticeable bullet hole shaped scars on his chest.

Spoiler for Background:

Dan's background starts to become of noticeable statues when his grandfather joined the newly formed SAS. Fast forward a few decades and Dan's father who had also join the SAS had moved from Ireland to London to live with his newly wedded wife. But that didn't stop him from fulfilling his duties as a 2nd generation SAS solider.

When it came to Dan's turn at life it was a bit of a rough road. Not earning many friends Dan's father and grandfather alike had many enemy's and they where not to happy to hear about the 3thd generation of the Slate blood line. 2 weeks after birth Dan was shot in the heart by an unnamed assassin, but due to some miraculous twist of fate Dan survived, this was also the triggering point for his ability, which he would not discover until 16 years later. Dan was to join the SAS just like the two Slates before him. He was personally trained from the age of 10 by his father and his old service buddy to prepare him for the army. The training was tough and Dan had all but learnt to drown out the verbal thrashing he got for his screw ups. In short Dan was being groomed for the military.

When it came for Dan to serve his necessary time in the military to qualify for the SAS Dan had doubts. He wanted to join and fight the good fight, but he wanted to do it of his own volition and in his own way. So he boycotted the whole thing and decided to sign up for the Butei instead.

Annoyed that his only son didn't want to continue the family's name in the armed forces Dan's father became increasingly hard on Dan. He was even more furious when he found out that Dan joined the English arm of the Butei Academy, calling it a waist of resource.

Dan quickly rose through the ranks and attained a B rank, thanks the the years of training prior. Other Butei students called him blank Slate for his hard to read personality and general lacks behaviour.

During a routine scouting mission Dan was betrayed and shot in the heart once again, this time by his partner; Thomas Hunt an A class Buteo who had also killed another student that day during his escape. Again Dan managed to survive and awoke the following week in a hospital bed. But things were not as they seemed, the world around Dan has become slow but in real time Dan was just moving abnormally fast. This was caused due to Dan heart having to work over time on two septate occasions and constantly changing rhythm to keep him from flat lining. This also earned him the nick name stubborn Slate among classmates, for his refusal to die. This also started a sudden change in his personality.

He went to live with his grandparents in Ireland for a few mouths until he was put under investigation for killing a suspect in a recent car jacking/murder. The charges where dismissed after Dan's and his grandfathers alibi matched up. Dan was also dropped for promotion to A rank after physical harming suspects upon apprehension on multiple occasions.

After 4 mouths Dan heard that his former partner and now rouge Butei; Tom Hunt was hiding somewhere in Japan. So Dan filed for a transfer to Tokyo's Butei academy in a search to even the score.

Spoiler for Personality/Characteristics:

Although his nickname is blank Slate his personality is anything but. His nickname only comes from the act he puts on when he is around people that he is not very commutable with. In true terms Dan is a charismatic, easygoing person. Dan has also inherited some of his fathers *ehem* Irish qualities, meaning his temper can turn foul easy and by Christ if he doesn't like you, you'll know.

Dan hates seeing people who are guilty get away scot free and he doubly hates seeing weak people being oppressed and has his own sense of right and wrong, which sometimes clouds his better judgement. Dan will never drop things no matter how trivial they may be. Dan hates awkward situations and conversations, he is also very bad at making friends, but if you do become one of his friends you'll be able to sleep easy.

Never one for letting a pretty lady walk but unharassed, Dan will try to flirt with anything that has an X chromosome, this includes; students, teacher single and married mothers of a certain age, he has never really struck lucky though. So much for luck of the Irish.

Ok, time to expand on his ability's

Spoiler for Ability and Technique:

Dan's ability of enhanced reflexes make him an invaluable sniper. Using such ability's at will though puts grate strain on his body and mind, therefore he rely's on the situation to trigger it for the impact of the strain is lessened when mixed with high amounts of adrenalin. This then triggers a reaction that helps Dan think straight and calms him down a bit in order to regain control of the battle situation. Even with the addition of adrenalin Dan can not keep this up for more than a minute.

Dan is also trained in hand to hand and close quoter combat. For these encounters Dan has been know to draw and use his bowie knife but the sight of it usually causes the enemy to ether flee or surrender, he has also been know to use what ever he has close to him at the time as a weapon as well, which also explains the nicks and dents in the butt of his rifle.

Although trained to use them, Dan has only drawn his twin Uzis with intent to use them once, and that was on that fateful day when he was shot and betrayed.

As for his grenades their mostly for show, but they are live.

- Dan once tried to chat up a married woman, unfortunately the woman was married to a big rugby player...... things didn't end well.
