Standing at a height of 6’2”, David Miller is a 19 year-old boy with tan skin. He has piercing, light blue eyes and short, golden hair, akin to that of an angel. His sharp, handsome features are enhanced by his kind and peaceful demeanour. He is of a medium build with heavily toned muscles. He usually wears a black hoodie, dark jeans and boots, along with a half face mask to conceal his identity.
Before David received his powers, he was a normal college student studying law. Aside from his father being mysteriously arrested when he was young, he lived a perfectly happy, safe and privileged childhood. However, this all changed when within his first few weeks at college he went missing for a week. No one knows exactly what happened during that week. David barely remembers. All he knows is that whoever took him injected him with something that gave him crazy abilities. After receiving his powers, he struggled to balance school with his alter ego while simultaneously trying to figure out what happened to him and why.
David is very attuned to his moral compass and can never bear to leave anyone unsaved or hurt, even if he is against them or their opinions. He would much rather have them be sent to jail rather than killed. However, this can make him extremely vulnerable to his enemies. The public also tends to put him on a pedestal due to his extraordinary abilities. This puts a lot of pressure on David to succeed in everything he does, even in everyday life at school. While David is a very honest, caring and sweet person, his alter ego has caused him to drop in his studies and he does not hold the same optimism that he once had before his kidnapping. Occasionally, he experiences anxiety and panic attacks.
The public refers to him as the 'Dark Lion’. His powers include enhanced senses, along with super strength, speed, agility, endurance and reaction time.
"Hey, man," a distant voice murmured softly, gently drawing David from the peaceful depths of sleep. "Dude," the voice added, slightly louder this time. David made a small noise, turning his head as thoughts began to move through it, slow at first, but growing more frantic the closer he came to consciousness. "David!" The voice was harsh and frantic now, and David's eyes snapped open.
"This is the third time, man," the student whispered lowly, and as David's vision began to focus, he realised it was his best friend, Adam. "What are you doing all night that's got you so exhausted?" David waited to reply, as they were in the middle of a lecture and the people around them were beginning to send them cold, annoyed glares. Glancing at his watch, he gritted his teeth when he saw that there was only two minutes left until the lecture was over. So much for passing law school.
"It's nothing, man," the blonde sighed, tapping his pen against his notebook; it was too late to take notes, after all. "Just personal stuff, you know?" Adam raised an eyebrow, but didn't argue. Soon enough, everyone began to file out of the theatre, hurrying off to their next classes or slowly making their way back to their dorm. David, however, farewelled Adam ("I promised my mom I would visit her today.") and quickly made his way off campus, backpack slung over one shoulder. All he could think about was the mask hidden inside, always at the ready in case of an emergency. The thought of his alter ego made him tighten his grip on the bag, and he tried not to feel uneasy as he passed through the busy streets. Ever since his disappearance (or, 'The Incident', as he preferred to call it), he constantly felt as though he was being watched, no matter where he was.
Finally, he arrived at a fairly secluded park doused in sunlight. No doubt, it would become more crowded later as more students finished their classes, but it was a nice place that he regularly visited when he needed to clear his head. Sighing softly, he felt his muscles relax, though he still remained aware of his surroundings, just in case someone appeared to need help. He prayed to God that they didn't. Despite his enhancement, he still felt exhausted from all of the work he had been doing lately.
Of course, God never listened to his prayers.
A shrill scream, that of a little girl, sounded from nearby, and David immediately sprung into action. Glancing around to ensure no one was watching, he tugged his hood down over his face and quickly reached into his backpack, shoving the mask onto his face. Within seconds he had located the situation: a young girl, being dragged down a path by a middle-aged man. Without considering anything else, he raced forwards, sending the man reeling with a punch to the head. The man attempted to push himself off the ground while holding a hand to his temple, but a kick to his stomach knocked him back down for good.
The girl took one look at David's dark mask and hoodie and took a step back, obviously rattled and fearful. However, something present in his kind, light eyes made her pause and send him a small smile before she ran back towards the playground, where a couple soon tightly embraced her.
David smiled softly, the action hidden by his mask, before he froze, his attention moving towards the crowd that had gathered at the entrance of the park, those that had taken a moment from their busy lives to watch the entire scene. He frowned. His skin prickled like someone was watching him. Something wasn't right.
