Character Notes:
I am including material from several older applications from games on LJ where I played as invisibll.
History:
Danny grew up as the youngest son of a pair of ghost obsessed genius crackpot scientists. Naturally, early on both Danny and his sister decided they wanted nothing to do with the family business. After all who would believe that ghosts actually existed? That all changed when Danny's parents finished their life's work, a device that would open a portal directly into the dimension where ghosts lived. When the portal didn't work during their first try, Danny entered it once his parents left the house. The teen wanted to fix the invention for his parents. Well, he did fix it, but not before he was caught inside the portal as it opened the permanent portal. The accident fused ectoplasm into his DNA, making Danny the world's second half-ghost.
At first Danny's only wish was to get rid of the powers the accident had left him. He didn't want to be some kind of half-human experiment. He wanted to be just another normal kid. When a ghost attacked his high school, angry that someone had changed the school menu, Danny suddenly found a purpose for his new abilities. He could do something now that was needed. And that no one else could do. Danny's new resolve to protect his town from the ghosts was quickly tested by a long series of ghostly villains.
His first great test came when he accompanied his parents to their college reunion and discovered that their old college buddy was also a half-ghost, changed by an accident with the original prototype of the ghost portal. Not only was their old friend a half-ghost, he had spent the last twenty years perfecting his powers and using them to become a billionaire. And he was out to kill Danny's father and marry his mother. When Vlad Masters discovered Danny's existence he immediately added turning the teen into his son/ evil apprentice to his goals. This was the beginning of Danny's determination to never turn evil. Danny forced Vlad into a draw through some creative blackmailing and got his parents home from the reunion safely.
Back home, Danny quickly went back to his usual routine of superheroing while trying to pass ninth grade. He made a few more enemies (human and ghost), and accidentally convinced the entire town he was evil. It would take half a year of constantly saving the town from the worst the ghost zone had to offer, including defeating the Ghost King, for the people of Amity Park to even begin to consider he might not be evil.
Then one day Danny got pulled into the future. There he met a future version of himself that had gone completely insane. He discovered that after his family had died in an explosion he had been sent to live with Vlad. But he hadn't been able to cope with his grief, and had begged Vlad to remove his human emotions and ghost half. Vlad had agreed, but during the procedure his ghost half had gone insane, ripped out and merged with Vlad's ghost half, and then murdered the human Danny before going on a rampage that had killed an unknown number of people and destroyed most of the world's cities. When Danny swore to stop this future, his evil future self trapped him in the Ghost Zone of the future while he went back to take Danny's place and ensure that his family died on schedule. After a lot of effort Danny stopped him and trapped him in the thermos. Clockwork, the ghost master of time, rewound time so that none of it had ever happened.
Personality:
Danny has a laid-back and easygoing personality, but can be very sarcastic and cynical at times. He is very stubborn and over protective of his family and friends. Danny has a lame sense of humor, which often manifests itself as corny puns. In public he seems like nothing more than a typically lazy, klutzy and easily bullied teenager. And in a sense, he is still one. He likes to hang out with his friends and listen to popular music. He enjoys bowling and video games. He is bad at math, but loves astronomy. And Danny has all the typical teenage worries about school and family.
But thinking that was all there was to Danny Fenton would be a terrible mistake. Deep inside, Danny has an overdeveloped sense of duty and a streak of responsibility a mile wide. He genuinely wants to do the right thing, and will do so even if it hurts him. As he put it once, 'I can't ignore a cry for help.' This feeling of responsibility and justice has often driven him to help even people who are normally his enemies. He has a habit of blaming himself every time someone gets hurt that he could have saved.
At the same time, his determination to do the right thing has put him in conflict many times with the desire to use his powers for selfish purposes. He has been tempted in the past To play pranks on the school bullies and to get out of trouble with his parents. But every time he has given into this urge it has always come back to hurt him.
More than anything else, Danny has always dreamed of acceptance. That he could tell the world about his secret and he wouldn't have to fear being shipped off to a lab to be experimented on. That people wouldn't automatically assume he has evil intentions every time he meets them. That they could accept that he only wants to help. And that he wouldn't have to face his own parents as enemies half the time.
He would like to believe that the world would accept his ghost side, but he has spent too much time being treated as a monster by the media and ghost hunters. He has a hard time believing that the entire world could change their minds about him that quickly.is just a little too cynical to put too much faith in that. At some level he has accepted that he doesn't truly belong to either world. He's too much of a ghost to be human and too much of a human to be a ghost. He will never be just an ordinary kid. And if he isn't okay with it, at least he has come to terms with it.
Living as a supernatural vigilante has left Danny with some lasting personality traits. He is always a little paranoid, always waiting for the next ghost attack or the next ghost-hunter to come after him. He has serious trust issues, as well. The only people he trusts completely are his friends Sam and Tucker, his sister Jazz, and a ghost named Clockwork. He is still wary of adults. He may like some of them, but he never trusts them completely. Perhaps because every new adult he has considered trusting in the past year has ended up betraying him on some level.
Danny's greatest fear is himself. In an adventure with time travel, Danny met a future version of himself that was everything he had never wanted to be. His 'evil jerky future self' (as Danny called him) was a sadistic psychopath who only understood destruction. He had murdered his human half in a way that was 'better left unsaid'. He'd destroyed most of the world simply because he could. He'd murdered an unknown number of humans, destroyed cities, and sadistically mutilated ghosts. When he discovered Danny in the future, he had trapped him there and returned to Danny' present solely to ensure that all of Danny's family and friends died on schedule. Danny is terrified of ever becoming something like that. Worst of all, he could sort of understand some of the decisions that version of him had made, and that scared him. He made a promise to his family never to become that. But hasn't forgotten any of it.
Danny is afraid that some day he won't be strong enough or fast enough to save someone. At the same time, he is afraid of becoming too powerful. From his adventures in time, he knows that in only ten years he could be so powerful that no one would be able to stop him if he ever fell.
Other:
Danny is a completely separate character from his evil future self who is already in the game. Although they share half of a ghost, Danny is just as much a part of Vlad and belongs to a completely separate timeline.
As a half-ghost Danny has access to a number of ghost abilities. These include invisibility, intangibility, and the ability to shape ectoplasm into blasts and shields.

First Person (entry type):
Is a non-working vacation too much to ask for? I mean, come on. One day off. After what happened last week I deserve that.
[A dark-haired teenage boy is scowling unhappily into the camera. He sighs heavily and drags a hand through his hair. Somehow it always ended up like this.]
I didn't think it was possible, but Vlad's become even more of a fruitloop than he was before. I mean, he was bad before. But kidnapping and cloning me? How does that even make sense? And that's not even getting into what he tried to do to Dani.
Could he possibly get any worse?
[He freezes and moans miserably.]
...Oh, great. I think I just jinxed myself.
Third Person:
The problem with being the half-ghost son of ghost-hunters, Danny thought, was the way he constantly ended up in bizarre situations. Apart from, you know, the whole being hunted by his own parents part. Nothing could ever top the sheer wrongness of listening to your parents discussing the best way to dissect your alter ego. Talk about things that no amount of therapy could ever erase.
Still, the point was, if he hadn't been a ghost and if his parents hadn't been incredibly overenthusiastic ghost-hunters he wouldn't end up in situations like this nearly as often. Case in point, the ridiculously oversized and ominous looking invention he was helping his Dad install on the roof of the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle.
"So, uh, Dad, what exactly was it that this did again?"
His Dad puts down the welder and grins broadly at Danny, practically radiating the sense of cheerfully enthusiastic incompetence that had made the Fentons known and dreaded by most of Amity Park. "I'm glad you asked! This, son, is the Fenton Ecto-obliterator! Just wait till you see what this baby can do to that ghost kid! First it will suck him into this box and then the ectolasers fry him until he's nice and toasty! Mmm, toast. Could you toss up the Fenton Ecto-Wrench?"
Pushing down the sense of nausea that particular description had created, Danny fishes through the toolbox and retrieves a completely ordinary wrench with the Fenton logo printed on the handle. The teen rolls his eyes at his parent's obsession with embossing that on everything and hands it up. "And the thing with all the glowing knives you just added?"
"That was the Ghost Ginzu! We don't want ghosts to have any chance to get away. And this way he'll be all sliced and ready for us to study! This time we'll get that ghost boy for sure!"
Danny's face pales at the thought. Why was it that each of his parent's inventions seemed worst than the last? "Right, Dad. You have fun with that. I think I just remembered some home work that I have to do. In my room. Away from here."
