Unattainable Ideal
Actors come from all sorts of backgrounds. Dan Kovalsson just wanted to be in movies.
Growing up in northern Canada, it seemed like a crazy dream. Dan grew up with six cars in the front yard, snowmobiles in the garage and deer hunting every fall. He spent much of his childhood crouched over a six-cylinder Ford, coaxing it to accept a Chevrolet carburetor, or else tearing down dirt roads at insane speeds, playing "car tag" with his friends. But he clung to his dream. Dan took Drama at university and decided he had talent, and looks, and got on his motorbike and made the long trek south to Los Angeles.
Like thousands of others. And, like thousands of others, he hasn't been very successful. His talent and his looks, while exceptional back home, aren't enough to lift him above those thousands. A few parts in student films, some extra work here and there, but he was pretty much starving to death before Graham Vanderwolf contacted him.
Vanderwolf's private detective agency was gathering information on Sarah Swithenbank, a former beauty queen trying to get into acting, who happened to be appearing in a short film that Dan was also playing a role in. When Graham offered Dan two hundred dollars for a quick note on Sarah's visitors, Dan staked out her trailer and provided a detailed report with digital photos and cross-references to IMDB. Graham was impressed with the young man's initiative and thoroughness and suggested he take a few courses, get himself properly trained and then come work for him.
Difficult though it was to give up his dream of acting, Dan took the investigator's advice and a year later he was working for Graham Vanderwolf. He's still not sure about this whole "spying on people" thing, but there are bills that need paying and he hopes this will be more "helping out people who need help" rather than "helping suspicious wives nail their no-good cheating husbands."
His real skills aren't to do with acting at all, but rather with things mechanical. He's good with his hands and drives with near-reckless disdain for life, limb and property.
Dan is cheerful and trusting, and despite the disappointment of his life-long dream, an optimistic sort of fellow. He does have a bit of temper, and has no patience with bad drivers.
He stands six foot two and is a broad-shouldered, good-looking sort of chap with blond hair and blue eyes -- clearly with a good dose of Nordic blood in him. Put him in a beard and a horned helmet, he'd make a great Viking warrior. He seems completely oblivious to his own looks, however, and is always laughing about how he can't find a girlfriend.

LOL that's a good one festy dog. So your saying that this game so far is just crawling at a snails pace with a really low heartbeat.

Yeah, we're still kinda posting to it, so it's still alive, but it ain't going anywhere. In one word I'd describe the game as being in a 'coma' because it could suddenly spring back to life, but then again it could just as easily drift off and cease altogether.
