Appearance:
Let's face it ladies, behind the the tall, lanky dorky Donny is a rather handsome, swanky guy. Sure, he may not be the buff one going to the gym each weekend. Hey, Donald might be the smart guy with the not quite yet fashionable clothes but put that boy in a suit and brush his hair and you have one very attractive guy. Sadly for him, when dressed up all nice, he tends not to look a tad metrosexual so many assume him to be gay when he looks hot. So basically, when it comes to his general appearance, look and style when contributing to the "gettin' ladies" he's a bit over his head. As well as by the time girls figure out he is attractive and he is in fact straight, he's usually settled very comfortably into their, "just friends" category and all the unfortunate men who have been labeled "friends" before, know just how hard it is to get out of it.
Donald is tall and lanky. He's not super skinny or anything, like he doesn't look like a skeleton with skill when his clothes come off. In fact he actually has a bit more muscle than most assume when they meet him, but he is not buff at all. He doesn't ever plan to be. The truth is, Donny has a very sexy back, depending on what the girl likes obviously but it's smooth((no hair except for the soft fine blonde one ever one has all over their bodies)) his skin is soft and just nice to touch, not that many know this but still. He's light skinned, not super pale but definitely lighter than most other white people let alone most of the world. His arms are long and strong without being ripped with muscles and bumps, very soft again. He obviously doesn't have the over abundance of tester-one that some men get. His voice is even a bit higher pitched than most male voices and has virtually no adams apple but do not mistake, he is all man, no birth defects, no serious health problems that has to deal with his hormone levels.
A "look" is obviously created from multiple different aspects of the person all added into one. Clothes, style, body, swagger, etc... But there's no denying that the most defining parts of a person are their facial features. Donny's face as a whole is cute but nothing too outstanding. His nose isn't freakishly large or small. He has truly fantastic skin though. His eyes aren't beady and creepy but neither are they orb like or outstandingly shiny. They are a very pretty, very light hazel. His eye color is kind of hard to determine(I went to 5 different sites two said hazel, one said brown, and 2 said grey and I really can't tell in most pics). His ears do stick out a bit but it's part of what adds to his dorkier image. His hair is a very dark brown, kept short. he was never into the whole long haired man scene or mullets scene. In fact mullets scare him. His eye brows are think and dark without being giant caterpillars and he uses them for facial expression far more than the average person should. But his smile, his smile is something extraordinary because it's beautiful. He has never had braces, but he has beautiful straight pearly whites. His smile is large without being expansive. His smile is the gold of his physical appearance.
Personality:
Not a Duck, Not a Trump, Not the Stereotype Nerd
Donald is probably the perfect name for this boy. When you think of a "Donald" character, usually one of three things comes to mind; Donald Trump, Donald Duck and a nerd. Seeing as Donald is not a duck, nor a multimillion dollar american success story. As for him being a bit of a nerd... yeah, that's definitely a way to describe him. He is what I like to call 'the modern nerd.' Yes, he is outrageously smart, yes, he is not very good at sports, yes, he isn't a ladies man. No, he does not where pocket protectors and sweater vests, no, he does not faint when he bleeds or has to break the rules and no, he does not stutter around every girl he comes in contact with. And he only where's reading glasses because he's slightly far sighted. His hair isn't slicked back in a neat cropped up out of the 50's style, no overalls in his closet. Let's break these stereotypes shall we. Geeks are no longer completely socially inept. Now it's more of a style than a label. Besides, this is only the Donny people who don't know him see. Wait, till they really get to know this computer genius and what he can do with internet access and a decent computer.
Splish Splash I Was Takin' A Bath
So what are the things that do make him one quirky individual, enough so to label him a nerd? Well, other than his dazzling intellect and his lanky figure, he has some... habits and a severe lack of experience with the ladies. Donny isn't ever labeled as gay or metro-sexual because his average outfit is t-shirt and jeans, but he has an obsession with personal hygiene. He's fine with it if his desk is cluttered with papers because somehow he can always find a way to find and understand everything but no rotting food and now old anything. You have to shower everyday. He brushes his teeth three times a day, flosses twice and uses mouthwash twice, everyday. He moisturizes properly after shaving. He uses just a small amount of product in his hair. And he thanks god for his minimal amount of body hair. I mean, he has some on his legs and his no no spots, but hardly any anywhere else. He washes his face and cleans his ears and everything, most men simply don't bother to do.
Like A Virgin, Touched for the Very First Time
Now here is where his typical nerd face comes into play. Donny is fun guy, he's great to be around, he's "cute." He can play video games like they ain't no thang. He's smart and open minded. He's a tad corrupt but no where near heartless. Besides that, he has an innate sense of justice and he knows the law is not always justified. He has some things going for him right? He just can't seem to get a girl to give him the time of day as anything more than a friend. He isn't a virgin, he has had sex... once. And it literally was a pity fuck. Seems like most girls go for the "bad ass jocks" which is funny to Donny seeing as he has done things far more risky than any of them, but whatever. He is very much a one girl guy though. When he crushes, he crushes on only one. He is honest about it too. He is so used to rejection by now he is able to be fairly open without much fear. If he gets rejected, it hurts but he can get over it. He is smart with his heart though. He won't put it out there for just anyone, the girl has to be spectacular, which means more than just looks people. He's not just some shallow asswhipe. If he tries and fails and knows he doesn't have much of a shot, he won't let the girl play around with him, even if she doesn't mean to be. But you know those girls who are nice but out of your league and they ask you to take them to the dance because their date was an ass and you get all excited and you go and have an amazing time and she kisses you but then in comes her original date with some roses and she's swept away and calls you a good friend? Yeah, Donny has more self respect than that. He'll do a favor but he won't let the girl play with him like that, even unintentionally.
Na na na na Inspector Gadget
Have you ever met a guy who doesn't hide who they are but when you learn who they are, they shock you? That's Donny for you. No one would expect this nerd-type guy to be who he is. Most assume the smart guy with the straight A's is always a goodie-two shoes. Donny is anything but. Donny comes from a gang family. His father is the leader of the Davis family and second in command to one of the largest gangs to hit America since the original mobs came over. And although Donny and his father have never seen eye to eye and although they are vastly different people, both share a love for the Sirens and a love for the trouble they get into. Donny, very much like his sister, is a rebel rouser to the end. He is smart and always testing his limits by hacking into school system and fucking with grades or schedules. He has hacked into banks before, get a untraceable, unnoticeable loan or two. Bypass security systems for his family's business, or for his own purposes. Set up high tech security systems for their own protection. Anything and everything. He might not be a great fighter, but god damn is he useful. Him and the few like him in the gang, brought Siren business to the next level. Only thing his father's ever been proud of him for. He uses these powers for anything that seems right at the moment, the truth of it is though that, he does have a sense of justice and even vengeance sometimes in him. And him and his sister get way too much of a thrill watching people who were an asshole to someone else getting their own shit rammed up their asses. Someday they might take it too far.

History:
His family is such a big part of him, Donald's history really starts way back in the early 1900's when his ancestors founded a gang with two other families the Hughes and the Richardsons, although the Hughes was the main founder so he became the Boss, putting his best friend, Davis at his side as second in command and so it's been since. The gang was called the Sirens and deal in the black market, fraud but their most profiting business of drugs. They were suppliers to major drug dealers. They were murderers and heros and rebels and freedom fighters and hooligans and prostitutes and pimps. The lowest ranking tending to be thugs and drug addicts who enjoy being closer to the sort but the higher ranks as in the original three families, tended not to actually do drugs, but they had the control of them. The highest ranks needed to be trusted to have a clear head to do their jobs.
In 1976 they were called the largest and most powerful gang to hit the country since the original mobs. Sirens formed an alliance with the Italian mob and a grudge with the Irish mob. Sirens started in Detroit, moved to Chicago and New York and were takin' the east coast as their territory, mainly taking out the Irish mob who had control of the east coast. But in exchange for the help of Italian mob which worked mostly on the west coast the Sirens stay out of the west coast apart from a solitary job or meeting every once and awhile. West Coast for the Italians and East Coast for the Sirens and that was the way they did it. Now as the mobs tended to live in huge flashy houses, Sirens lived in small apartments and broken warehouses. Sirens thrived on being basically a huge, organized, old and traditional gang but a street gang none the less, something the mobs had never been.
When David Davis Sr. was born the first born son of Daniel Davis II, he became the future for the Davis family and an extremely important part if the future for the Sirens because it meant one day, when his father died and if he survived the gang world 'till then, he would take his place as head of the Davis family and Second in Command of the Sirens as a whole. From a young age he showed he could be ruthlessly ambitious, cheating and bullying as a kid into beating people into a bloody pulp if they crossed him. At least thats what the world saw. He was obedient and observant to his father, loving and respectful to his mother, protective and caring to his younger sisters and a role model to his brothers. He was Siren version of a prodigy. His only flaw in the eyes of his father was how late he waited to have children. David davis insisted that he would not have 7847320 different babies mamas. He wanted one woman to bear his children and one alone and she would have to be a perfect physical specimen. She also had to compliant and quiet, good with kids but with a flexible morality system to allow her to accept and perhaps partake in this high stake world in which the Sirens lived. He found one in Iris Smith. He was 22 and she was 15 but age was never an issue with the Sirens. David quickly wooed the young girl but they couldn't marry do to her not being 18 but that didn't mean she couldn't get pregnant. Her only living parent was neglectful and didn't really care so David had sex with her multiple times before she was impregnated and gave birth to his first son.
David Davis Jr. A Namesake, a perfect male specimen for a new born. Three years later, when Iris turned 18 her and David sr got married and had their second child and to the delight of the davis family it was another boy. They named him Donald Davis. He was a whole three weeks late, putting his mother through emotional hell but eventually he was ready to plop out. Now you would think that since he spent an extra three weeks in incubation that the baby boy would be a big baby but now, he was rather small. He was actually underweight. This worried the doctors greatly. They put him on watch and stuffed him with nutrition but aside from how small he was nothing seemed to be wrong. And nothing improved, he was just a small kid who was neither over-developed or under-developed.
Did you know there is a theory that those babies that are in the womb longer, are more intelligent? It's the basis for a television show that's on right now, Kyle XY. Well, whether it's bullshit or not, Donald showed high intelligence levels as an infant even. He slept through the night as a new born, he recognized different sounds, even though he could not repeat them. He wasn't like Stewie Gryffin but he was a smart kid and his parents knew it but neither seemed too proud. Mostly they were swooning over his older brother David, first born son and very strong for his age and definitely going to grow into a man's man. At four years old, David Davis Jr was getting money dropped at his feet and going to "work" with daddy while Donny spent most of his time with His mother. But when donny was two years old, his mother gave birth to another kid, the first girl in the group. She was a weird looking kid in Donny's eyes. As a baby her eyes practically consumed her head and since both his mother and his father seemed to adore the baby girl, Donny couldn't help but be jealous, yet another kid his father liked more than him.
She was a weird baby and Donny couldn't help but point it out. He used to be able to get his mothers attention at least, now he got none. He had stopped breast feeding at 8 months but even at 2, when he saw his mother breast feeding their new daughter with the scary freakish bug eyes, he went up and pointed and yelled, 'those are mine!' (which is a story Izzy likes to tell to embarrass him quite often, of course they don't remember this, these are from home vids and parentals and aunts and uncles who were around telling stories). This new girl was named Isabel, but her father started calling her Izzy and soon, everyone was. They all thought she was adorable, big eyes and a big smile that never seemed to disappear. But Donny knew she wasn't an angel. Baby Izzy's favorite pass time seemed to be biting her older brother, and it may not have hurt too badly before she grew teeth, but it was gross.... gums were gross. Imagine an elderly person with no dentures but a need for them, biting you...ew. Needless to say, the two kids grew up bickering insanely at eachother, even more so than most siblings. They had things in common but that caused more bickering. Like both were very picky about being clean at a young age, both always brushed and liked to spend a lot of time in the bathroom, which meant they bickered over the bathroom(they still do that).
When Donny was six, nothing had changed. Izzy was turning four and on her birthday, their mother announced that she was pregnant. She ended up giving birth to twins, one of which she named after herself, Iris Davis jr. and one their father named India. They were not identical twins although they looked it except for one had the dark brown davis hair and the other had the light blonde Smith hair of Iris. Donny didn't mind the twins, but Izzy didn't like them at all which made donny smile. At least it did for awhile until he noticed what was happening. Izzy was no longer the favorite. All the attention was placed on Iris Davis Jr. by her mother and well, their father still was mostly a fan of the oldest son but he adored both the twins, he called them his girls and Izzy was being to feel forgotten. Well, now she knew how he felt. But he couldn't help but sympathize with her a bit.
Now by the time Donny was 8 and Izzy was 6, they weren't at eachothers throats as much but they weren't friends at all, but both of them figured out what their parents did for a living a long time ago. Both knew and neither objected. Growing up around big time crime and seeing people having the crap beaten out of them, and helping parents pick pocket and cousins sell drugs, kinda gives you a flexible morality system. But the thing was, they really didn't know many of the Richardsons or Hughes. You see, the Siren gang really liked to have Sirens marry other sirens. And they feared that if their children grew up playing together, they'd feel too much like brother and sister, or cousins to want to marry each other. So by rule they mostly kept them apart until the age of 13-ish. You could see the differences in each family as well. Richardson's tended to be a bit Dimmer, brute force, useful but not great planners. They tend to be... fun to hang out with but nothing too unique to their personalities, a bit dull. The Hughes tended to be darker, sexier, cunning mixed with bad ass moves. The head family of the Siren gang was a great mixture of sex, intrigue and cleverness. Plus, the Big DS seemed to be fairly level headed. The Davis family tended to seem happy and brighter. The Davis family members tended to be intelligent but most of all, ruthless.
Donny's father is the head of the Davis family and second in command of the entire Siren gang. He's brutal. He's a good man to his family and those of his loyalty, but he is a brute when it comes to anyone else. He's short tempered and doesn't care at all if he tears a family apart. He's also a bit sadistic because he does it with a smile. Donny, was a very brainy kid, but he definitely never had the killer instinct. So when Izzy showed interest in getting to know other kids in gang and was being sent of to the Hughes place, Donny's father sent him along. Maybe the Hughes kids would toughen him up a bit. And there was a big difference between the two head families kids. Look at Izzy and Donny, both cute, smart, Izzy being perky and happy, Donny being nerdy and a bit metrosexual, and then Liz, Kenny, Mark and the rest of the Hughes kids who were close to them in age, all bitchy, dark, sexy at 11 and most of them had started their training at the age of 4. They were of a different league but one thing remained the same for all of them. They were all corrupted by this world they grew up in. The one person who never seemed to be touched by the corruption was Andrew Davis, Izzy and Donny's cousin.
Andrew had to come live with them after his parents were killed. He had no other siblings but he was smart, true to Davis form, but at contrast to Davis form, he had a strong morality system. He was an environmentalist, animal rights activist, he was always griping on about the public school system's lack of proper funding and blah blah blah. He was somehow completely untouched. Donny respected it but couldn't follow it. Izzy found it annoying but Izzy's new role model, Liz hughes, was inspired by it. Liz hated Izzy and Donny but adored Andrew, which might have made Izzy like him less. But anyways, while Donny went over as well, he started to admire a Hughes kid as well. His name was Kenny Hughes. Kenny was Donny's age, almost exactly. He was strong and smart and Donny's father thought Kenny was a "model of a perfect son" whatever that meant. But Donny started to hang around Kenny, and although Kenny thought Donny could get annoying at times, he overall was close to the kid and in time, Kenny and Donny became good friends.
When Donny turned 12 his parents had yet another child. A boy whom David Sr. decided to name after his grandfather so his son became Daniel Davis III. All of their parents attention really went to the three youngest from their mother and their father was suddenly very busy. Their grandfather had died making him head of the family and second in command of the Sirens and the responsibility was great and the viscousness crueler. He really only had to time to train his own next in line for as his life and his families lives became more dangerous he needed to know he would have some one to leave behind to take over. He knew he didn't want Donny as the leader because his nerdy scrawny son would not be looked at with much respect since in the drug world respect had to be scared into people. Donny and Izzy recently left on their own for the most part became better friends. They began to train and learn about the gang business to impress their father. Donny was always good with computers so he went off to learn about them. Izzy went into espionage. Donny was a wiz at the technology. His fingers worked like lightning on a keyboard and when he struck he struck hard. He could hack any system, set up major surveillance. Even hack into some satellites and manipulate the results the government or police received. He was so good, for the first time in his life he impressed his father and he impressed the Big DS. Izzy was turning out to be mighty impressive in her work as well. The Big DS took great interest in the two rejected Davis kids.
Anyways, when Donny was 15, he very pathetically started to crush on Lizzy Hughes Izzy's idol and Kenny's closest sister. He adored her, she ignored him. She only spoke to him when she need to use is brain. He was still kind of the nerd, and in their school, no one really knew what he could do, all he was seen as was the nerdy guy. He wasn't the nerd at the bottom of the ladder, mostly the geek who played video games and was really smart but was funny enough that he got along with some other popular people. He was a gamer, he was a dork, he was a genius and he was a criminal. People really needed to stop underestimating him. But when he hit the age of 18 and was still a virgin, something had to be done. Izzy had lost her virginity at what?? 12? Liz lost her's at... 12. Kenny lost his at 13. His older brother David lost his at 13. And just yeah, 18 year old virgin in the siren gang was pretty much unheard of. Even andrew had lost his at 16. And out of pity his crush of the last 3 years got him, and herself drunk, and fucked him. That's right Liz, after a lot of people begging her to, decided she did feel a bit bad about his lack of a sex life and took his virginity one drunken night and believe me, she regrets it. Not because he wasnt good, for a virgin he was great but because he won't let her forget it.
Now it's a year later, Liz went to Valkyrie California after her short time in prison. He and Izzy were living their lives when they find out Kenny was killed. Izzy was immediately worried about Liz, Donny was a bit more worried that his best friend died. Or at least who he considered his best friend, Kenny never thought of Donny as a best friend but whatever. Donny was fairly upset about it. Soon th Big DS was asking Izzy and him to move to VA to be there for Liz. Might as well, take a chance to go to school without watching person after person getting shot right?
