| ~ Quote -Daniel. Z. Most Known/common Quote. |
Daniel Z, (also known as Daniel Joshua Zaccaro), was once an ordinary teenager until he was tainted by an unknown substance, transforming him into a remorseless killer. Obsessed with the idea of gaining emotions, he prowls the shadows, waiting patiently for the perfect moment to end his victims' lives. With a chilling patience, he lingers in the corners of rooms, his presence a harbinger of impending doom. Daniel Z's descent into darkness knows no bounds as he continues his relentless quest for something that may forever elude him.
Origin Current[]
Daniel Z had always been an ordinary 17-year-old boy, leading a relatively normal life. He had a close-knit group of friends, consisting of Andrew, Tomas, and Lilly, with whom he shared countless adventures and fond memories. However, his life took a dark and inexplicable turn one fateful night that would change him forever.
It all began when his friends invited Daniel to a lively party at a trendy club in the heart of the city. Eager to have some fun and escape the monotony of daily life, Daniel accepted the invitation. The night was filled with laughter, music, and dancing, and Daniel indulged in the allure of the party, including drinking alcohol for the first time.

As the night wore on, Daniel became increasingly intoxicated, making it difficult for him to think clearly. When the party concluded and it was time to leave, he stumbled out of the club into the dimly lit streets. His dizziness and impaired judgment clouded his senses, and he stepped onto a busy road without realizing the danger. A speeding car came out of nowhere, striking Daniel in a heart-wrenching accident.
In the aftermath of the accident, Daniel woke up in a sterile hospital room, his body covered in bandages, and his limbs aching. His memory was hazy, and he couldn't grasp what had transpired. The doctor informed him that he had been hit by a car, and the recovery process would be slow. Days turned into weeks as he languished in the hospital, his energy drained, and his spirit dampened.
Upon his eventual discharge, Daniel returned home, but his life had been irrevocably altered. He felt perpetually dizzy and fatigued, and a bizarre phenomenon had taken hold of him. His once-bright blue eyes and cheerful smile had turned into a haunting visage – pitch black eyes and a black, viscous substance oozing from his mouth.
This unsettling transformation did not go unnoticed by his concerned parents. Fearing for his well-being, they rushed him back to the hospital, where bewildered doctors could offer no explanation. Daniel spent more agonizing weeks confined to the sterile hospital room, his condition deteriorating further.

As time passed, Daniel's mental state unraveled. He withdrew from the world, spending days on end sitting in the corner of his room, staring into nothingness. His descent into darkness reached its climax when he decided to take a horrifying and irreversible step.
At the stroke of midnight, he crept into his parents' room, clutching a gleaming kitchen knife in his trembling hand. He stood in the shadows, an ominous figure, as the minutes ticked by. When the clock struck 1:00 AM, he brutally ended the lives of his own parents, leaving their lifeless bodies behind as he fled from his former home.
With every act of violence, Daniel's humanity seemed to slip further away. He prowled the streets at night, seeking unsuspecting victims to stalk and kill. A grim compulsion drove him forward, though he found no satisfaction or solace in his gruesome acts.
It was during these nocturnal hunts that he crossed paths with a notorious figure in the world of darkness – Jeff the Killer. Daniel had seen Jeff's infamous exploits on the news and was both fascinated and terrified by the enigmatic killer. Meeting Jeff in person was surreal, and Daniel struggled to find the words to communicate with this seasoned killer.
In a strange and chilling twist of fate, Jeff the Killer took Daniel under his wing, mentoring him in the macabre art of murder. They became "partners" in a sinister dance of death, as Jeff imparted his twisted wisdom to the young and impressionable Daniel. Together, they embarked on a harrowing journey into the abyss, leaving a trail of terror in their wake. Daniel was no longer in control of his actions, and his descent into darkness continued, guided by the malevolent hand of Jeff the Killer himself.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Before his transformation, Daniel had the appearance of an average teenager. He was of medium build with an unassuming demeanor. He used to wear a light green sweater that complemented his light blue jeans. His light brown hair was neatly styled, and his eyes sparkled with a friendly light blue hue. He had an approachable and kind presence, often going out of his way to help others.
However, after his unsettling transformation, Daniel's entire visage took on a sinister and ominous quality. His skin turned an eerie, almost pitch-black shade, creating a stark contrast to his former self. His hair, once light brown, transformed into a deep, inky black. His eyes, now void of any humanity, became entirely black, as did his mouth, which perpetually oozed a dark, viscous substance.
Despite the grotesque transformation, Daniel continued to wear his light green sweater as a chilling reminder of the person he once was. He often concealed a knife in his left hand, ready to unleash it when the need arose, though he was equally adept at hiding it within his pocket, further emphasizing his predatory and unpredictable nature.
Personality[]
Before his corruption, Daniel was a friendly and sociable teenager who relished the opportunity to connect with others. He possessed a warm and caring disposition that made it easy for people to befriend him. He enjoyed meeting new people and was known for his willingness to help and support his friends and acquaintances. His caring nature and genuine empathy made him a cherished presence among his peers.
However, after his transformation, Daniel's personality underwent a profound and disturbing shift. Emotionlessness and despair overtook him, leaving him bereft of the compassion and warmth that once defined him. He became a relentless and remorseless predator, driven by an insatiable urge to kill. He stalked his victims methodically, observing them from the shadows for extended periods before striking. When he entered their homes at the stroke of midnight, he would stand in the darkest corner of their rooms, clutching a knife in his left hand, exuding an eerie and malevolent presence.
Daniel Z had become a chilling embodiment of darkness, a stark departure from the compassionate young man he once was. His transformation into a merciless killer left no room for the humanity that had once defined him.
Powers and Abilities[]
Shadowmeld:[]
Daniel possesses the ability to meld seamlessly with shadows and darkness. He can manipulate shadows to envelop his presence, rendering him virtually invisible to the naked eye. This shadowy camouflage allows him to move silently and undetected, making it extremely challenging for his victims to perceive his presence until it's too late.
Obsidian Venom:[]
The black, living liquid that oozes from Daniel's mouth has a sinister purpose. He can project this obsidian venom as a ranged attack, directing it towards his victims. Upon contact, the venom seeps into their skin, inducing excruciating pain that lasts for an agonizingly prolonged duration. Victims who come into contact with the venom experience an intense burning sensation, and their bodies become paralyzed with pain. This venomous torment can last for days, causing unimaginable suffering before Daniel ultimately takes their life.
Dread Imprint:[]
Daniel possesses the ability to leave a psychic imprint of fear and dread on those who manage to escape his clutches. This lingering dread follows his victims, manifesting as haunting phobias related to waiting. Anyone who has narrowly evaded Daniel's grasp will forever experience a deep-seated fear of waiting, whether it's waiting for someone, something, or simply in moments of anticipation. This fear serves as a chilling reminder of their encounter with the malevolent Daniel Z, leaving them in a perpetual state of psychological torment.

Daniel Zarins (Skilled mode)[]
During his initial stage of transformation, Daniel Zarins was still in the early stages of embracing his newfound darkness. He had begun to acquire a set of skills and knowledge under the influence of Jeff the Killer, a mentor in the art of murder and terror. This first stage marked a transition for Daniel, as he evolved from a mere stalker into a more capable and methodical predator. He honed his instincts, sharpened his senses, and learned the gruesome craft of ending lives with ruthless efficiency. The lessons he imbibed from Jeff the Killer were crucial in his evolution, enabling him to stalk his prey with a heightened sense of awareness and cunning. Though not yet at the peak of his malevolence, Daniel Z's first stage saw him becoming more adept at the sinister game he played. His victims found themselves confronted by a more skilled and elusive adversary, as he continued to refine his techniques and grow stronger with each life he took. While his predatory nature remained, his understanding of the dark arts was expanding, setting the stage for his later, more menacing iterations. Daniel Zarins was far from his final form, but the first stage was a harbinger of the darkness that would consume him and those unfortunate enough to cross his path.
Daniel Zarins (Sociopath mode)[]
In his second stage of transformation, known as "Sociopathic Mode," Daniel Z's descent into madness and malevolence continued unabated. This stage marked a terrifying shift in his psyche, as he delved deeper into the abyss of his own insanity. During this stage, Daniel became an even more unpredictable and remorseless killer. His twisted desires and thirst for violence escalated, driving him towards becoming a mass murderer. The veneer of self-control that he had managed to maintain in his earlier stages began to crumble, giving way to a more unrestrained and chaotic persona. While his skills and methods remained consistent, the difference lay in the sheer intensity of his actions. He no longer held back, giving in to his darkest impulses without hesitation. His body count soared as he left a trail of carnage in his wake, showing no signs of stopping or remorse. The term "sociopath" became an apt descriptor of his mentality during this stage. His empathy was virtually nonexistent, and he derived a perverse pleasure from the suffering he inflicted. His madness was a wellspring of terror, as he reveled in the chaos and the macabre dance of death he orchestrated.
Daniel Z's second stage was marked by an intensification of his homicidal tendencies, making him an even more formidable and terrifying presence in the world of killers and psychopaths. His insatiable appetite for violence and murder knew no bounds, leaving anyone who encountered him in a state of unrelenting dread.
Daniel Zarins (Waiter Of The Corner/The Unleashed Psychosis)[]
In the third and most chilling stage of his transformation, Daniel Z's malevolence reached its horrifying zenith, pushing him deeper into the abyss of his own madness. This stage was marked by an unfathomable descent into psychosis, making him an even more terrifying and relentless force of darkness. During "The Unleashed Psychosis" stage, Daniel's madness knew no bounds. He had come to believe that he had achieved whatever dark goals he had set for himself, though these goals remained shrouded in mystery to all but him. This delusional belief served as a catalyst for his descent into an unrestrained rampage of mass murder. With his unparalleled skills and knowledge, Daniel Z became a true harbinger of death. He struck with unparalleled precision, leaving behind a trail of chaos and destruction wherever he went. His killings were no longer motivated by any semblance of reason or purpose; they were driven purely by the unhinged desires of his psychotic mind. The moniker "The Waiter of the Corner" became an apt description of his chilling modus operandi. He lurked in the shadows, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The corner of a room, a dark alley, or any secluded spot became his hunting grounds, where unsuspecting victims faced an unrelenting and merciless assailant. During this stage, Daniel Z's actions became increasingly unpredictable, and his psychosis rendered him incapable of empathy or remorse. His insatiable thirst for violence and bloodshed reached a crescendo, leaving a wake of terror and devastation in its path.
Encounters with Daniel Z in his third stage were a descent into sheer madness and horror, as he embodied the darkest depths of human depravity. His actions were no longer guided by reason or motive; they were driven solely by the demented desires of a psychopath consumed by his own twisted vision of reality.Facts/Travia[]
