Description
Tall and broad, though not as bulky as one his height might be, Dan has the physique of someone who exercises regularly, but doesn't overtly go to pack on muscle mass. With deep blue eyes and dark brown hair, he presents a friendly enough demeanor, keeping clean shaven and his hair short.
History
“That Boy is Going Places” was a common phrase heard around Daniel Bowen’s high school in regards to the young football player. He was offered, not full rides, but scholarships nonetheless to the local state college and some others. People thought he was destined for great things. But it was a surprise that he stayed on and joined the Post Office when old Bert retired from the post, taking on his route.
What they didn’t know is that his family home was in danger of foreclosure, his father sick with an illness that he had only told his son about at this point, cancer from the asbestos in the house. That coupled with his sister Jo being the more promising student and they couldn’t afford to send anyone to college if there was no one working, led Dan to give up his dreams and get right to work in the government job so he could try and keep his family together.
So he set to work, delivering mail, quietly helping save for his sister's College, for his dad’s medical expenses, for getting the asbestos out of the house. He managed the latter, eventually accomplished the first, though it put him into debt. Dad’s medical expenses have just been adding to what feels like a sinking ship, but he pushes through. The rest of the family by current days know about Dad’s cancer.
To help supplement their food supplies, money being as tight as it is, Dan began to hunt like his father had taught him. He’d bring in local game, skin it, sell the pelts and cook and preserve the meat
