Signature Quote: "Aw, man! Everyone and their dog is of Orochi blood!"

Personal Email address: PowerOfQi@aol.com

• Height: 5'6".

• Weight: 150 lbs.

• Appearance: Driven mad by the Riot of the Blood, Dan's outfit has become disheveled and stained by his bloody coughing spurts. They hang loosely about him as he shudders and sways in his fury.

• Alternate Appearance: His nice, neat uniform is now in tatters, his white shirt undone and red with blood. His pants are worn out at the knees and his shoes aren't tied, either.

• Fighting Style: Dan has forgone his usual meticulously copied move set for wild hits and slashes. He is wild as an animal, chaotic and violent. Just like Iori-sama!

• Button Style: Street Fighter II.

• Bio: Given to flights of fancy and mild hypochondria, Dan can convince himself that he's suffering from just about anything and do quite the good job of displaying the symptoms.

• Intro: Taking a vicious gut hit during a fierce fight, Dan begins to cough up a little blood. Jokingly, he recites lines from KoF '97: "Gah! My blood boils! Orochi must be mixed up in this! You won't get control of me, Orochi!" He pauses to reflect on how effective this speech was for Iori. This is his fatal mistake. Thinking that if he were having a Riot of the Blood, that he'd just have sealed his fate leads him to wonder if his blood isn't boiling just a bit and that who knows what the Orochi could be mixed up in and that what's to stop him from going mad and...oh, bother.

  Anybody that gets close enough will be pounced upon and beaten until they stop moving. He's basically out of control.
