Powers

• Psionic: In a similar fashion as his older sister, and their father, Daniel has a "psioic" like powerset which manifests in a much simpler way. He can generate and control his own aura, using it for a wide variety of different purposes. This "psionic" energy generate will typically always generate force, or "physical" substance but can also have secondary effects which affect living entities, or entities capable of feeling and understanding emotions.
  
  
  
  • The Ranger: Daniel's mainstay and general purpose "offensive" way of dealing damage from a far. Comes in whatever SHAPE or design Daniel can imagine, though some are more effective than others- I.E: a Spear pointed projectil, VS a ball. These yellow/white glowing energy attacks use speed and force to do any meaningful physical damage, able to HIT with up to 15 tons of force by moving as fast as a bullet- at about its absolute max; SIZE does impact speed normally.
    
    While normally launched from his hands, Daniel can also manifest the energy at different areas around him with reduced effectiveness. One of his preferred methods of using this energy is by creating "bracelets" of it around his wrists, which he then releases when punching. This energy also damages a person's spirit, and weakens their willingness to fight.
    
    
  • Seeking Shots: Through his control over his psionic energy, Daniel can mentally guide most of his shots with greater accuracy or effectiveness to the point of launching  ONE "arrow" and have it ricochet many more times- but the faster a projectilemoves the less able he can do this.
    
    
  • The Cleric: Uses green psionic energy to instead of causing damage or pain, to reverse it. Effectively his "lay on hands" class ability which allows him to heal himself or other people, even able to cure disease. The only defining factors are time, and how healthy he is at the time of using it. He can heal minor scrapes, bruises or cuts within several seconds, and more severe injuries in as many minutes;  certain afflictions may require entire days of on and off attention
    
    
  • The Knight: Uses yellow psionic energy to envelope himself or another person in a protective, and enduring personal suit of armor. While not an actual, physical suit of armor, the wearer isn't burdened by weight and is protected from all forms of damage up to a point; able to withstand UP to 15 tons of force before something can pierce or break through it. Can be partially applied to body parts and used in conjunction with "The Ranger." CANNOT be combined with The Ranger if covering the entire body. The spirit of an opponent striking the armor with melee will feel a portion of the damage that would've been inflicted, weakening their willingness to fight.
    
    
  • The Mystic: Violet colored psionic energy which doesn't manifest in any notable, or tangible way. However, Daniel's eyes being purple is not a coincidence, and like Chessa, he too "remembers" things from across timelines or realities, just not as with much clarity. It's more akin to a gut feeling that he KNOWS something or someone from somewhere else, but he can't immediately figure out why.

  Physical Weaknesses
  
• The Knight Flaws: While not actual "weak" as simply gaps in The Knight's armor, while not burdening the wearer with added weight, it does have openings intended to allow them movement. In doing so however, there ARE places exposed to possible damage. In addition, the armor is not insulated or capable of protecting the wearer from overwhelming cold or heat.
  
  Also in addition, even if Daniel "gives" the armor to someone else, his ability to also use The Ranger is locked. Daniel is also the only one that can control whether or not the armor covers his body, or only partially covers it in places- he cannot do this while someone else wears it.
  
  Mental Weaknesses
  
• Resolve: Daniel has an easier time using his powers effectively when his resolve is strong, and if his emotional state ever drops too much, his powers become weaker as a result.
  
  
• Restraint: Daniel is gentle at heart, and while understanding sometimes you have to hurt alittle to do alittle good, he rarely tries to fight at his strongest if he can avoid it.
  
  
• Trusting: He wants to trust people and give them the benefit of the doubt, and someone could exploit that charity.

Personality
Daniel is an energetic, friendly and very good natured young man. He always thinks of other people before thinking of himself, much to the point of embarrassment sometimes. Daniel is always willing to lend a hand when someone needs it, and is prone to making excuses for certain... lazy and unmotivated older siblings. Daniel enjoys being active and especially likes soccer or basketball.

Daniel is also the kind of person to always seek new ways to better himself, or help others better themselves- even when they're at their worst. He feels that there are enough probems in the world, and tries not to judge people off of first impressions, appearances or otherwise; he's generally very open minded and considers other people's thoughts or feelings.

Though sometimes he can be slightly overbearing or over zealous, having high expectations of people that he later has to adjust- not everyone can keep up with him.

History
Daniel was originally born to a pair of scientists living in the states with his older sister. His mother passed away soon after having him, and before too long his father also "passed on" in a manner of speaking. This left him in the care of his older sister, and like her, Daniel also had incredible cases of "deja-vu." His psionic abilities manifested much earlier on than Chessa's through these cases of deja-vu. But he was mentally unaware of why, though when she did try to explain to him what happened to their father, he simply accepted this as inevitable.

His sister was quite overprotective of him while he was growing up, and while difficult, he understood how hard she was actually working to make sure they were well taken care of and instead tried to keep bettering himself to help take the load off of her shoulders. Daniel was a star athlete, and was fairly bright with a bright future in whatever he set his mind to. He looked to possible military service, which Chessa strongly disagreed with. His status as a Metahuman made him initially a valuable candidate. But fortunately he was discharged for reasons being that he wasn't suited for service under emotional and mental reasonins- he was too nice for his own good. After enduring a depression for a time over not knowing what to do with himself, and how he could make a difference for people, he started looking to law enforcement.

"Does this color work for my text?"

"People might get confused if we're in the same thread together, Bro,"

"I see, that is definitely an issue. Perhaps something brighter like this then?"

"I think the Bar's Lowe as it is~"

"I see what you did there, ha ha. Still, I need to find just the right color!"

"What's the difference between that one and just Yellow?"

"A very good question sister! How's this? Does this answer your question?"

"That's bananas bro,"

"Potassium?~
