“...Why do I keep meeting ghosts, lately?” Jack wondered aloud, peering at the stranger, whom still hadn’t given his name, “I’m...decidedly human. Just with a pinch of divinity. Not a demigod, but similar.”

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED NICKY
• As far as strength goes, in his human form, he often forgets to ‘tap in’ to his ghostly strength if he needs (or wants) it. An example is in gym class, although, his subconscious mind would be against using his ghost strength because he would see it as cheating, and we all know about Danny’s fear with CHEATING.
• As a symptom of PTSD, Danny can lash out strongly even if he doesn’t really mean it. It may seem like he intends it, but it is part of the disorder. With the one he is lashing out at, the best option for them to do would be to let him yell and scream, because he WILL regret doing it later and apologize for it. Don’t fuel his fire. It might also help to remind him to take his medicine and understand what he is going through. One more thing would be to teach or remind him of healthy ways to cope, such as counting down slowly and evenly (if possible during a panic attack) from ten, deep breathing with 7 seconds in through the nose, hold it for 3, and 4 seconds out through the mouth.
• Danny is extroverted, though due to many situations in his life, he can become withdrawn, pushing people away. He has trust issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger issues since at least from the age of eight, and technically even though he is a young adult, he’s still a teen and his emotions can ride all over the place. Danny likes to make friends, wants a lot of them, and to be appreciated and to appreciate them back. He hates to feel used, and despite wanting to feel accepted, that would be enough for him. He wants to be APART of the crowd, happy to ‘blend in’ and feel like he belongs. He is a leader AND a follower, BUT he won’t always blindly accept certain things as the way they are. He seeks the truth and what HE BELIEVES IS RIGHT. He is still learning that right and wrong aren’t so black and white, and there’s a wide grey area that he has to help figure out what decisions he thinks is best for himself and the ones he loves to keep them close.
• When Danny feels sad, if he wants to hide it, he does it well, unless someone is close to him and sees through his fake smile and his white lies, yet otherwise a stranger might have no idea unless they have a strong intuition of what is going on.
• As a young child, Danny was frightened of the idea of ghosts existing. His parents had always been very serious with their work. He felt safe many times when his parents did a scan in his room, promising no monsters or ghouls under his bed or in his closet. As he grew a bit older, he felt safer, questioning if ghosts might exist or not. He didn’t know. He sometimes doubted, but other times, was curious and open to the thought.
• Danny had always believed in aliens growing up. At this point, after already getting his powers, and saving the planet once (or twice, arguably), he’s MET a few aliens. He wants to know more about them and hopes that’s something he can do in the future in his career.
• When Danny is in love, he gives the relationship his all. He’s by no means perfect, but he definitely tries, intentions good and firmly carries out duties and tasks and spontaneity to keep the love alive and on fire with passion.
• Danny wears cover-up to hide his scars.
• Danny trains himself physically both in ghost form and human form in his lair at least three times a week, sometimes more.
