new york city is a dangerous place to be, daniel yeoh. i heard that your resistance friends are going to be meeting in a bar at the corner of broadway and 42nd in twenty four hours. i guess it’s important for you to be there. ( welcome sam ! henry golding are now taken ! )
( henry golding, cis male, he/him ) · you know, the gossip in new york city is insidious and gossip about a half-blood like daniel yeoh seems to constantly be afloat. what i know for a fact, though, is that they’re a thirty-three year old senator from colorado who graduated as a wampus from ilvermorny. apparently that inclines them to be a bit competitive and confident when he rolls out of bed in the morning. as a member of the high council, i feel bad that they’ve resorted to taking up the moniker DAWON. ( torn between two lives, two versions of who you are and who you could be. not believing in luck, but rather one’s own sheer force of will. the fire that burns in his heart, one’s soul, one’s entire essence. there is no off switch on a tiger. ) sam, 21, est, she/her, no triggers

history
daniel’s parents are the well known, bestselling author irfan azmi and an auror named rose yeoh
he was born almost destined for greatness, with a private school education for his first few years, until he got a letter from ilvermorny
he grew up between a combination of a classic muslim malaysian upbringing from his father’s side, and a magical upbringing from his mother
rather young, however, his parents divorced after not being able to work out, as they said, “the differences between their lives”, and daniel went to go live with his mother in the suburbs outside the city
despite that, he had a rather uneventful childhood
he went to ilvermorny, and did very well in all of his subjects
after graduating from ilvermorny, he tried to give the muggle side of education a try, and went to the university of denver, graduated with high marks, and then went to the university of denver school of law
despite his place in the non-magical world, though, he always felt that he was meant for the magical world
it wasn’t until after he graduated law school, things got a little.... weird
simply said, he fell in love. he met a girl through his work as an intern of a senator, a job he was gearing his life towards. long story short, the girl was harassed.
he would do anything for this girl. so he confronted the harasser. one thing lead to another and the harasser attacked him, and in a blaze of fury and self defense, daniel almost killed him.
it was a complicated situation, and after a lot of hush money, the person he almost killed decided not to press charges, and daniel, as well as the senator he worked for, who was his closest confidant, worked to have the victim relocated in a remote part of the world.
idk i might wwrite a drabble about it because there’s a lot more to it but that’s the basic gist lol
when things with the girl didnt work out, he basically secluded himself from the world and focused on his work. that seemed to work out well for him, though, because his political career started booming
he ran for governor and won
blah blah blah political life that i’ll fill in later
now he’s a senator very cool
of course now that he’s back in public and things are going well, though, the president is killed and he is forced into hiding
he was lucky enough to be very sick that day and survive, and feels endless sorrow for those that can’t say the same thing
he puts on a strong front, though, and does everything he can to make life better for those around him in hiding
character inspo
wallace (what if?)
ernie (sesame street)
calvin (calvin and hobbes)
fox mulder (the x-files)
other facts i want to include
despite his parents’ divorce, daniel is a hopeless romantic. in fact, his parents not working out may have influenced that a bit
he’s a bit cynical about love, but all the hopeless romantics who havent met the one kinda are, right?
he’s a very feeling person, but tries to hide his feelings to maintain the idea that he is unbreakable
he’s always in fear that his dark past actions will always haunt him, and will come back up to bite him in the ass
he’s a big believer in fate, despite everything
as with everything else, i’ll add more as it comes to me
