Danny is not a bad person, well, mostly anyway. Yes he often dips his toes in that moral grey area, the one where looking the other way for the greater good might fall, so to speak. And almost exclusively, the 'greater good' of which he is concerned with, is his own skin thanks very much. After all, ain't no one else looking out for him, if he doesn't do it, he's as good as dead. After all, twenty nine years, most of them without parents or a family to speak of, and he's still alive. Hell, he's doing pretty damn good if you ask him. He's got everything he needs, most of what he wants, and some things that are down right luxuries at this point. Like his pink hair dye that he makes himself, he's a little vain, sue him. He's cute and he more than once had made that work in his favour.

He will lie, he will cheat, and he will steal if it saves his skin, or he can profit from it. He has limits though, and he has never, nor would he ever wish too, used extreme violence or killed anyone first hand. Now, he knows some of the shit he mashes together in his old run down shack in the outskirts have some disastrous effect sometime, but to be fair, he just sells this shit, and it always comes with a warning. So he feels it ain't his fault if idiots still decide to use what he creates. He feels morally cleared cause at least everything he sells does what it says on the tin.. mostly. Almost always.

He can't fight physically, he's too smol, but he has a quick wit, a hand full of cunning, and a hell of a lot of street smarts. So he gets by well with charm, charisma, quick thinking and an even quicker tongue. So far, it's kept him alive, free and with friends in some decently high places.
Quick History
From then till now    
Being born in the slums of Stronghold to a drug addict mother, and a father who he never knew, he would have maybe asked his mum if she'd lived long enough... She didn't, when he was maybe five, he doesn't really remember, he's not even sure if he's actually the age he says he is, but he figures it's close enough. His mother, drunk, high, barely lucid, had been pulled by two men, who had seemed huge like monsters to him back then, but were probably just regular sized scumbags, from the single room they called home, and he'd never seen her again. Her body had turned up he later learned, years later. Missing organs and mutilated. He wasn't even sure if that shit was true, but maybe. He didn't care by that point, she'd barely been a mother when she'd been alive, it didn't really matter to him how she'd died.

Point was, he grew up alone, learning fast how to survive, for a good while he managed to elude the Military in Stronghold, he was small, quick, quiet, and resourceful. He could fit places no grown man or woman could. And as such, he made his life in the dark, cramped spaces, eating whatever scrap he could, hunting rats and birds and even insects when he was really desperate.

He had no formal schooling, but he was very smart, almost scary smart, he just saw things differently to most people. By eight he could pull apart a mechanical clock for example and put it back together, he began to modify things, create gadgets that he found useful. Set up alarm systems in his tiny hiding places. And then when he was a little older, and needed some way to make himself useful to others, if he wanted to survive, he started where any self respecting, self taught chemist and inventor should. With Booze and Drugs. Why? Because that shit sold.

Eventually he left stronghold, the heat from the Military was growing, and supplies for his inventions were scarce, at least out there, he had freedom to do as he pleased, and the ability to barter, trade and scavenge for what he needed to really knuckle down and invest in his creations. Life outside Stronghold was not easy, but it was way more fun, if you lived for a little danger and excitement, which he always had, and he'd managed to make himself some pretty decent friends and allegiances, who he trusted... well, almost trusted. Trusting anyone completely was not smart, letting down your guard with anyone was what got idiots killed or robbed or betrayed. He wasn't an idiot...
