DANNY ANDERSON is a STUNTMAN and 32 years old. Originally from ATLANTA, GEORGIA, he has been with the circus for 5 years. He looks like RYAN GOSLING and possess the ability of AIR MANIPULATION. He is known to be INTROVERTED, PROTECTIVE, and EASY-GOING, but can also be IMPULSIVE, SELFISH and AVOIDANT.

CHARACTER THEMES: Freedom, Responsibility, Loyalty, Independence, Guilt, Acceptance, Risk and Consequence

ABILITY SUMMARY: Danny's ability to manipulate air gives him control over wind and atmospheric pressure, allowing him to create gusts, lift objects, and alter the flow of air around him. He can summon currents that propel him forward, cushion impacts, or generate powerful blasts. With this skill, Danny can also shift air density. He uses all of this in his stunts with his motorbike.

Danny grew up in Atlanta with his younger brothers, Tate and Tyler, and younger sister, Margo.

Their father was a mean drunk, and one day their mother left without warning, leaving them to be raised solely by their father, who had violent tendencies.

They often raised themselves, becoming street-smart from a young age.

Their mother was a gifted air manipulator, and Danny inherited this ability, which manifested in his teens.

Always an adrenaline junkie, especially drawn to motocross and motorbikes, he began using his gift to enhance the stunts and tricks he could do.

Five years ago, the Night Circus appeared near Atlanta, and the Anderson siblings all went to see it.

Watching the performers, they grew suspicious due to their own experiences with abilities and returned every night the circus was in town, hoping to learn more.

Danny struck up a conversation with Jimmy Goode, who hinted that the circus held more secrets than it seemed.

With nothing to lose, Danny decided to join, confident his skills would impress; what he didn’t realize was that his siblings would also join, inspired by him.

Danny soon learned he could never leave, a fact his siblings also discovered to their surprise.

Over the past five years, Danny has tried to leave multiple times, but he always ends up back at the circus.

His ambition to escape has faded, but he feels a deep guilt for trapping his siblings in a life he can’t fully understand.

The only comfort he feels is knowing that they’re all in this together.

ABOUT

The Anderson wolves have long been entrenched in the Cross pack's activities in Atlanta, where violence wasn't just a way of life but a childhood norm for Ruben, Danny and Tate. Raised under the shadow of their father Bobby's notorious reputation, Danny and his brothers were left to their own devices often causing mischief, mayhem and chaos everywhere they want. Danny harbors little love for his family name, only finding loyalty to it because of his brothers.

Twelve years ago, when the Cross pack was uprooted from Atlanta, Danny silently breathed a sigh of relief that his father wasn't among them. The move to New York offered a fresh start for the Anderson boys, albeit under the careless guidance of their alcoholic and addict mother. Left to fend for themselves, the brothers unsurprisingly found their own paths within the Syndicate.

Danny has never had any grand ambitions and is content to drift aimlessly through life. The exact same can be said for his role within The Syndicate where, ironically, his aimlessless serves as usefulness. As a general member with no fixed direction, Danny has proved himself to be quite versatile and capable.

Five years ago, Yvonne Anderson was found dead from a drug overdose, her body found by Tate. Danny is able to see the connection between the youngest Anderson's own addictions to this grief, but the thing about every Anderson to ever live is they never talk about their feelings.

ABOUT

Bobby and Yvonne Anderson were not fit parents for a child, let alone two. They arrived in Center Hill while expecting their first and in desperate need of a pack after being exiled from another. The Cross pack welcomed them in, subsequently condemning their children to be born into the packs acceptable and encouraged violence. Dustin was almost two years old when his brother Danny was born and the Anderson boys were known as little street urchins from the get go. Yvonne was as disinterested as a mother could be and Bobby fit perfectly into the Cross' cruel way of existing. The boys relied on other pack members to help feed and clothe them, and it was no surprise how either of them turned out. They were double trouble, even towards each other.

Danny showed a lack of interest in most things from a young age, school was practically out of the equation considering the trouble he caused in classes but he was always certain to prove that he was nowhere near as bad as his older brother. The Anderson name was a problem in it's own right, let alone when it was linked so closely to The Crosses. Danny, just like all the other wolves, began his training at thirteen but he had already been in good stead thanks to Bobby's brutal way of running the home. Violence became a part of life for Danny, and it wasn't something he enjoyed. He simply accepted it, turning off his thoughts when he was needed for a fight.

In 2020 when the Atlanta Massacre ensued, Danny was separated from the Crosses with his brother Dustin and had no option to flee entirely or else they'd be caught by the military. For many months it was just the two Anderson brothers together but Dustin had never been an easy personality to deal with, not even during a life or death scenario. Somewhere near Iowa the brothers were split after a heated argument about Dustin's on brand shenanigans.

Near the beginning of 2021, Danny stumbled upon a group of wolves and they seemed his perfect chance of survival. Knowing Hawk and Bear from Atlanta made it an easy decision but he quickly learned that joining them was like signing himself over for a prison sentence. But, just like his childhood and life before the war, Danny switched off to the happenings he was a part of. He grew restless about finding his pack and his brother and it was then that Danny's requests for any searches were continuously shot down.

Eventually, he was among some of the wolves that created a plan of escape from the group. It may have failed but it instilled hope that there could be enough of them to make it work for the second time. Six months ago, the group arrived in Canada and were attacked by human mercenaries. Danny among some of the ones injured didn't use the chaos as a means of escape and instead stuck by them as they made their way to a safe town. Upon arrival, the group had to decide to move on again and eventually they landed sixty miles later in Hollow Cove.

ABOUT:

The Anderson name has never been spoken of highly in Center Hill. Between Bobby Anderson’s violent outbursts and Yvonne’s addictive personality, everyone questioned their capability of being parents. Good ones, at least. That didn’t stop them from staying together and raising three boys in the trailer park.

Danny embodied a lot of traits associated to being the middle child. He was always reserved and preferred to hide away and sketch with loud music playing. Neighbours took pity on the Anderson trio, looking out for the boys while they were young and giving them a sense of love that they lacked from their own parents. This didn’t last long, as each of the boys grew into a chaos of their own, leaving helpful neighbours no choice but to watch the Anderson brothers become the product of their environment. Everyone saw it coming, even the boys themselves. Even their cousin Katherine joined their troublesome ways, wanting to avoid going back home for the exact same reasons they did.

“The Anderson Boys” is rarely said affectionately, it’s usually with a roll of eyes and a huff. Either together or separately, the Anderson brothers could always find trouble. For Danny, it started in school. He showed all signs of avoiding any responsibility, his homework was never completed, and he never showed up for detentions. He’d be skipping classes and graffitiing his tag or skateboarding around the city to find something fun to do.

He barely even graduated which wasn’t a surprise to anyone and it wasn’t a surprise when he landed his first brush with the law at twenty years old. If anything, it was more surprising that it wasn’t sooner. This started a small yo-yo between the local jail cell and Danny, as if a bungee cord was tied to the bars and wrapped around his waist. Stupid and petty crimes with no rhyme nor reason were soon under his belt.  Jail was good for something, though. Danny came out with a tougher exterior. On his first day out after a 2-year stretch, he went back to his trailer and helped his brothers to beat the living shit out of their father who had reigned with an iron fist for their entire childhood. The beating was so bad that it drove Bobby Anderson out of the city for good and made Yvonne Anderson resent the very boys she gave birth to. No love was lost in Danny’s eyes, thinking the woman was nothing more than an enabler for their father’s violence.

For a short while The Anderson Boys had no place to call home, couch surfing until they could figure out their next move. Eventually, they had a small place in Center Hill to call their own and it’s been that way ever since. They fight and love as you expect all brothers of their caliber to, and while they’re happily fighting with one another they would never let anybody else join in.

Falling into The Reapers was easy and fast and Danny enjoys the fast money. He's had a rocky few years of trying to navigate fatherhood but he thinks he's nailing it recently. He understands that being with The Reapers is for life but he can't help but wonder if he's sealed his fate by joining them, preventing any possibility for his redemption.
