Background

A man with aspirations of political greatness, Daniel Petroski is someone who has known what it's like to wish to touch the stars and who is very close to being able to do so. Currently employed as the aide to the Quorum's delegate from Virgon, the doors are being opened for him, Daniel growing closer to seeing his dreams come true.

It's easy for those who are born into an influential family, it is easy to grow up without a want in the world. Such was the case for Daniel Petroski. Born the first of five children to Piter, a minor politician in one of Leonis' larger cities, and his wife, a doctor by the name of Anna., Daniel and the rest of the Petroski children were able to pursue every single interest that found their way into their hearts and minds. From an early age, Daniel's aspirations were to be in politics like his father.

The children were sent to the best private schools to be found within the city's boundaries and tutored by some of the most highly educated professors during the lengthier holidays. It was one such professor that stoked much in the way of curiosity in the impressionable mind of Daniel, the subject of religion drawing his interest as much as fencing and agriculture, the latter subject he began to delve in so he could better understand the work of the people he might someday represent.

Upon graduation, Daniel got accepted into Caprica University where he relocated to study with political science as his major with a double minor in agriculture and religion; his work load was outrageously time-consuming but he somehow managed to keep a job as an intern for one of Caprica City's top politicos as well as a social life, Daniel keeping a tight-knit circle of like-minded young men and women about him while he partied like it was going out of style, all this while maintaining a 4.0 average. Receiving his degree four years later, graduating summa cum laude, the oldest Petroski child finally found his way into the world.

The next eleven years would be spent getting his foot in the proverbial door as far as politics would go, first as a job as a glorified secretary which lasted until he was 29 and then as a political aide to Zinnia Todd-Winston, a job he currently holds.

Physical Features

Daniel is a man of averages who would surely blend into a crowd if it wasn't for the flamboyant manner he carries and dresses himself in most of the time. Dark hair and eyes are complimented by a complexion that is tanned without being touched by the sun, genetics lending the healthy tone he possesses. Average in height and slightly slender, he could easily be described as faintly feminine in build.

For work he wears suits of somber design and color, preferring gray and black slacks and jackets, those coupled with shirts that are either white or a pale pink or blue. They are all of the finest make as are his shoes and belts, and are usually free from scuff or wrinkle. When able to be casual, he opts to match sweaters and tee-shirts with jeans, a rather noticeable contrast to the clothes he wears while in the office or out on assignment.

His taste in jewelry is masculine with several thick silver rings worn on several fingers on both hands and bracelets and cuffs made of the same metal as well as braided strips of black suede. A silver talisman hangs from a black silken cord - small, it'll take someone getting rather close to see it, assuming Daniel has it exposed somehow, but if they manage to get a good enough of a glimpse they'll notice an etching which represents the mother goddess, Hera.

Winnie

File Image	Name	Notes
	Zinnia "Winnie" Todd-Winston	To say I love this woman might open things up for speculation but I do, in a familial way. She's like the older sister I never got to have and is someone I adore to no ends as well as being the one person I feel like I can go to for advice or when I just need to vent, my trust in the angel knowing no depth.

Military

File Image	Name	Notes
	LTJG Jesse Stavrian	We finally got a chance to sit down and talk a bit. To say he intrigues me is only scraping the tip of the metaphorical iceberg. We make an unlikely pair but I do think that a friendship has began to be forged between us.
	LTJG Evandreus "Bunny" Doe	Nice chap. Funny and personable. A bit odd with some of his mannerisms but that makes him all the more alluring and mysterious to me. Note: He's one of those handsome Fleet poster children-types I mentioned to Richard.
	Sergeant Phaedra Demos	If there's one thing that surprised me about this Marine it's that she doesn't really carry herself as one. Sure, she follows rules and protocol to the letter but she does so in a manner that is rather…lady-like, for the lack of a better way of putting it. Am going to be teaching her fencing, soon.

Civilian

File Image	Name	Notes
	Miss Santiago Blue	One of my fellow fact finders that the Quorum has sent to check on the Cerberus and her people. Lovely lady even if she is a bit on the eccentric side. Is most definitely not one of the 'typical' politic-types you might be used to seeing. She's worthy of more investigation.

Trivia

+ Show Trivia

• The character's personality is loosely based on Gaius Baltar, Captain Jack Sparrow and Liberace. This is a concept that will either succeed wonderfully or take on a life of its own and eat the player alive. Only time will tell.
• Where he's originally from Leonis he spent a large amount of his time upon Caprica for his university studies and often times will give Caprica as his reply when asked where it is he hails from.
• Despite having been employed on Virgon for several years he still keeps an apartment on Caprica. When he visits his family on Leonis he stays with them at their home.
• Even though Zinnia is his employer and is quite a bit older than he is, he considers her to be his best friend instead of his boss and has stated as such while waiting for the shuttle to take him to the Cerberus.
• The man seems inclined to use pet names and terms of endearment when speaking to others regardless of their gender. This includes 'doll', 'love' and 'angel', the latter being one he reserves for when he's speaking to/of Winnie.
• His vices tend to fall in the range of 'rather expensive' - the particular brand of fumarella he partakes in is one of the most expensive in the public market while he'll drink only the best ambrosia available.
• He can often be found in the company of Richard, a young, red-headed man who acts as a gofer of sorts as well as a travel companion. Like Winnie, Daniel is close to Richard and the young man's family and will often times arrange to stop by for dinner whenever he's in town.
• He is a rather exceptional fencer and used to compete, something that was left out of his background by accident.
• Daniel is very much a southpaw.
