Personality
Daniel is brave, to the point of recklessness, kind, to the point of foolishness, and confident in his own 'genius' and 'intelligence' to the point of arrogance. However, he is fully aware that he had burnt himself before, that barging into other people's matters only earned him rejection and anger. And one of the flaws he realized about himself was that he did not take rejection, by people he wanted to be friends with, well - This is also something he planned to address before his untimely death.
His death at the tender age of sixteen was a blow to his psyche; he had hurt his parents one more time, he had hurt his friends, both online and offline. And now, he cannot fix the bridges he can barely admit he had burned out of pride and entitlement. So, all he can do was throw himself into his new adventure, help his friends in any way he could, and eventually find his place in this new world - He knows enough Isekai tropes that there is a way to rise up
high if he wanted to...
Powers & Abilities
Human (Variant) - Daniel wants nothing more than to be a human, at least in appearance, so he looks like a human and registers as one to Supernatural senses, various magic spells, psionics, and other powers. However, he has traits that distinguish him from Humans on Earth, namely an improved memory and physical endurance to the point where he can take several wounds that can bring down an adult. The improved memory allows him access to knowledge he only looked up on the Internet a few times, including technological blueprints he was not able to comprehend and understand before his death.
Daniel also gets another Skill from this but can upgrade only two stats.
Variant Human Feat: Prodigy - Daniel gets one extra skill, makes one of one's skills a super skill, another language, and a tool proficiency.
Daniel's Stats (Array):10 Strength
12 Dexterity
14 (Originally 13) Constitution
16 (Originally 15) Intelligence
8 Wisdom
14 Charisma (he can be very persuasive when he wants something)
Fighter (Eldritch Knight when he reaches Level 3) - Daniel can, in addition to using plate armor, swords, and shields, cast a limited number of Abjuration and Evocation spells as well as a few cantrips from the Wizard spell list. He does not need a spellbook to cast the spells as they are committed to his enhanced memory.
- Protection Style: When Daniel has a shield, he can cover a nearby ally who is being attacked, 'disadvantaging' the attacker.
- Second Wind: Daniel can tap into his reserves of stamina to act as though his wounds and injuries do not matter; for all intents and purposes, he has 'recovered hit points'. This ability cannot be used again without a short or long rest.
- Action Surge (Will be getting at Level 2): By tapping into more of his reserves of will, stamina, and 'eager kid energy', Daniel makes himself able to multi-task even in implausible circumstances. And by that, he gets an extra action.
- Martial Archetype (Will be getting at Level 3): As an Eldritch Knight, Daniel knows two cantrips and three 1st-level Wizard Spells from the Abjuration and Evocation spell lists. This will increase over time.

Biography
Daniel was a rich, but not too rich, kid. Raised by loving parents, given the best education, and allowed to train in fencing as long as he kept up his studies, Daniel yearned for more but kept it under control due to wanting to be a kind person. A loving, eager ball of energy, Daniel was quick to make friends and approach people, even strangers, to ask if they needed any help. He also hunted down bullies, not just because it helped his self-image, but also because he can't stand it when people are
hurting. And so he grew up a kind lad, albeit one with a darker side that festered in him, helped by him denying its existence.
One day, he failed to keep a friend. That day, he blew it out of proportion. And he saw that even he had his own dark side, and hated himself deeply, for he had thought of himself as perfectly formed, with no need to change. And after that, fear followed, fear that he might be exposed as a fraud before his remaining friends.
But what if he was?
Days once spent in confident happiness were consumed by fear and rage and attempts to hide it. He only confided in his very closest connections, both online and offline. Maybe he could have found a way past it, through it, and become a happier and more mature person.
But Death cared not for one's potential growth.
He died, and the faith he had vaguely held was simulteanously proven and disproven; there was an afterlife, but beyond it was just another, still-mundane world. A world that promised more suffering and heartache. What he had wanted to do was run around like an innocent puppy, helping people, listening to their problems, and seeing them smile and pat his head and listen to
his own problems.
Life - His new one - had taught him a lesson; he cannot have that. The Multiverse was not fair, nor should it be; it was not created or evolved to be fair. Every bit of goodness had to be fought for, and was worth it because it was earned through blood, sweat, and tears.
The boy was still a boy, given a second chance. And this time, he would not waste it - He will work hard to earn his position in life and new friendships.
