Personality: Daryan comes off as a serious and level-headed man that likes rock music, and a penchant for justice. Some people find this especially odd, seeing as rock music symbolizes rebellion and the police symbolizes quite the opposite. Regardless of the conflicting symbolism, he could really give a flying rat's ass about people's opinions about it. He dislikes a lot of things, and the list is considerably longer than his "likes" list, such as "people touching his guitar" to "people touching my hair"... or just "people" in general. He's quick to anger and prone to violence, demonstrated clearly in his attempts to murder not only an Interpol agent, but a blind woman- although these two examples are rather poor, seeing as they were merely caught up on the wrong side of his smuggling plans. But it's not a long shot to say that his quick temper could easily build up to something more drastic.
Obviously, he's not very good in socializing with people without being somewhat over-bearing. First impressions usually don't go awry and is generally friendly, but if there's even a little something he doesn't like about the other person, their relationship quickly goes south. He's honest with his feelings at least, and doesn't lead anyone on in thinking that they'll be good friends or anything. Even when meeting with relatively easy-going characters like Apollo or Trucy, he develops a dislike for them just after their second meeting- especially towards Apollo. He gives Apollo the nickname 'Spikes' in reference to his hair, and even straight out tells them "I don't like you two.", then goes on his way. It might've just been Apollo and Trucy poking about in his illegal affairs that make him on-edge, but he generally seems to be an unpleasant person to be around and doubly so when he's in a bad mood. Despite all these horrible sounding personality traits, he's not a jerk without having a good reason to be, and is tolerable most of the time. Some of his good qualities are that he's a hard worker, is fairly smart, and a talented guitarist.
When it comes down to his work, he has a lot of strengths. He's extremely focused, and pays good attention to detail. A good example would be the entire plan he pulls off with smuggling the cocoon from the country of Borginia. It takes a lot of balls to smuggle something out from a country that penalizes all smugglers of said cocoon with death. It's not easy to phase him, able to mask his feelings and emotions or cover them up with a completely different one to throw people off the scent. All the physical and psychological training that comes into becoming a police officer (then detective) really pays off and he makes an effort to incorporate all that training into his day-to-day. Even when it comes down to the band, he puts his all into it, needing to match Klavier's standards for perfection. He likes to complain and give Klavier grief about his perfectionism, but he really does want to please Klavier since he's the only guy he really deems worthy of respect in both the music and law enforcement world. His weaknesses include lack of sympathy with others (though he wouldn't see it as a weakness) and his temperament. There aren't very many instances of everyday fear, but he does snap pretty easily when he's cornered, like with any criminal that sees no way out. It's very likely that he hasn't committed any crimes of this nature before, so it would be reasonable to think that he was very on-edge and fearful during the entire ordeal- but the fact that he operated with a level-head and seemingly calm disposition shows that even under great stress, he can still think relatively clearly.
Abilities: No particular abilities outside of a normal human being. He has normal strength, normal response times, and normal everything else. The year that he was convicted and hauled off to prison, he had just made detective in International Affairs so he's had basic training and tests when first starting off as a police officer. He's also a talented musician, who played second guitar in Prosecutor Klavier's band The Gavinners.
