Personality Profile:
Serious, quick to protect his fellow marine, unorthodox, and quick to figure out solutions to problems. Raised to be a hands on type of man, and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Respects women, but doesn't mind the company of a female. Not flirtatious by nature, but has gotten lucky here and there. Also raised to be a family-oriented man, but hasn't started one of his own yet.

Faithful to his family, to his fellow marines, and to the corps. He loves to train in CQC and took MMA as a hobby at a young age, before joining the marines. Born and raised as a country boy, so hunting and tracking are some of the things his father taught him when he was young. Isn't afraid of being the first through a door, and the last out of the room. Loves to go off-roading, and has been known to drive like a wild beast.


Physical Description:
Caucasian, tanned but not too dark. Slightly slim but built from working at a young age, doing manual labor. Has a plasma scar on his lower back from multiple hits from a plasma pistol, a scar from a bullet on his left bicep, and a cut on his left forearm from a close quarters knife fight. Has a tattoo of the grim reaper holding a MA5 on his upper back, and the words "Semper Fi!" under it. Keeps his hair buzzed, and keeps his face shaved clean.

Has slightly broad shoulders, but normal length arms. Slightly longer legs, but not much more than the height of his torso. Has a good amount of chest hair, but no back hair. Keeps his legs in shape and tries to keep his stamina up at all times, usually practicing CQC or working out in his free time. 


Background Information:
Daniel was born on Reach, in the town of Pelican Bay. Ironically, the town was not located near an ocean, but a good size lake, where the fishing was good. Many of the residents there made their living by catching, gutting and cleaning, then selling fish meat. The fishing industry there even had good enough production that they exported to other colonies where they could. Daniel's own father loved to fish, but they mainly owned a little bit of land where they raised cows and horses. Daniel's father, Alexander Sabre, believed in not relying on technology, but some of the more "traditional" ways of farming and living off the land. That's how Daniel learned to live, helping his father manage the cows and horses by hauling hay belles and keeping up the land with hand tools. Daniel's brother, Alex, helped as well, and their mother, Mary, kept up the finances and paperwork for the farm.

Daniel did get a decent education, but when he finished highschool, the innies were in full swing, so Daniel decided to join the marines. His family didn't think it was a good idea. They were worried he would be killed, or worse, taken prisoner. Daniel, however, didn't worry about it. He took MMA in highschool, and became good at hand-to-hand combat. He even broke a boy's arm one time when he got to bullying a friend, so he figured if all else failed, he would win in the end when or if an innie tried to tie him up.

After a few years of fighting against the innies, Daniel was used to war. What he wasn't used to was the news that an alien race was now attacking humanity. When Daniel got his first taste of combat against the Covenant, he ended up in the medical ward of a UNSC cruiser after taking a burst of plasma shots to the back. He'd been shot before, in the arm, but the plasma made the bullet wound he suffered like a prick of a needle. He was in the medical ward for several weeks, before getting a purple heart and promotion for continuing the fight when he was shot. Daniel had managed to kill several grunts and a jackal, despite the wound initially.

When his unit came under fire on Polaris 2, Daniel took command after most of the platoon was either killed or wounded, including the commanding officer. Now with several years in, Daniel was promoted to the rank of gunnery sergeant, and given his own platoon to command, in the 328th Mechanized. He lead by example, and was always at the front leading his unit. He was very fond of shotgun breaches, followed by shotgun blast to the Covenant.

Sadly, the 328th would come to an end when the unit was sent in on a search-and-destroy mission against the Covenant on the planet Crysalis. Daniel's platoon was assigned with clearing a town that was said to house an Elite leading a large regiment of the Covenant on the planet. Sadly, the unit came under heavy fire in the town, and ended up suffering heavy casualties, with seventy percent of the platoon KIA, and another twenty percent wounded. Daniel's platoon eventually had to retreat, but not without the help of a squad of ODSTs and several tanks backed by warthogs. Daniel was devastated that he lost so many men, but his platoon was only one of many. Other platoons and units suffered worse, before the UNSC deemed the planet lost and pulled their forces. This would be the worse combat Daniel saw with the 328th, as the unit was all but destroyed. Since the unit suffered such heavy losses, it was disbanded, and the surviving members transferred to other units. Daniel got his deployment order for 27th Marine Expeditionary, 12th Regiment, 1st Battalion, Oscar Company, Second Platoon.
