|name=Danny Novak
|portrait=Novak1.jpg
|occupation=Frat Boy / Future Burnout
|age=20s
|muxname=Danny
|activity=Inactive
|story=Slasher
|alive=no
|in-play=yes
|role=The son of organic hippie farmers in the nowhere wasteland of Coachella, California, Danny grew up with little to do but play music and do drugs. He was smart enough to get into college, and his parents are certainly wealthy enough to pay for it, so college it was! He should have a degree in something by this point, but he never applies himself. He's mostly about the music and the drugs. 

He knows a fair bit about a variety of things - he has taken a lot of classes and actually pays attention in the ones he likes, and is far from useless. He just has a hard time taking anything too seriously or really committing effort. His Mom's boyfriend hanging around doesn't help as he's the supplier of the drugs. And no, his parents aren't divorced - they're hippies.
|hooks='''Have Fun, Will Travel:''' Always game for something new and exciting. He brings the party with him.

'''All The Drugs:''' He has access to them.

'''Certified Sex Gods:''' He's in a band, vocals and lead guitar.
|memento='''Star of David:''' Suspended from a silver chain is a small Star of David pendant. It's got a little tarnish on it, but it still manages to gleam.
|death=Stepped in front of Mahoney's bear trap to take the hit for Sonya.

Danny swallows hard when he hears Mahoney's greeting of 'Fuck!' His blood runs cold at the appearance of the ghost. Sonya is chanting, and Danny can hear the scrape of metal on metal as Mahoney hauls back with that chain. He has only one thought: Sonya. He steps between her and Mahoney as the trap lashes out, and he pivots to face the ghost.

The trap slams into his body instead of hers, and despite the shock and fear and pain, it's all right. For at least a little longer, Sonya gets to live.

He has no pithy remark for Mahoney, no parting shot or cool last words. He arches as the teeth of trap rip through him, and when he coughs, there's blood frothed on his lips. He rasps for breath, but he's in tatters, bleeding out and fading fast. With a small shudder, he goes limp. He's gone.

|desc=Danny's dark hair falls in thick, disheveled waves to his shoulders, with strands constantly falling across is brow in a veil over his warm brown eyes. He's quick with a smile, and there's usually trouble in those dimples. Though his facial hair is sparse, he's still managed to grow a mustache and goatee, though it looks like it's as much from neglect as any actual effort.

He's wearing skin tight red jeans and stained white chucks. When he bothers wearing a shirt, it's a white muscle shirt with AC/DC silkscreened on the front in black. On the off chance it's cold enough for a coat, he sports a well-worn black leather biker's jacket.
