Disclaimer: This idea has been rolling around in my head for months now, not sure how good it is but I figured I should leave it somewhere it can be used, rather than just in my head, where it will inevitably be completely forgotten.
If this were a video game, i'd want to make it so that Danny doesn't get access to Raidou's iconic weapons/outfit until post game
It all starts with a talking black cat.
Or, perhaps it starts far before that, when as a child, he saw a monster hiding under his bed after a particularly grueling day at school?
Wondering about such things is pointless however, because right now Danny Hebert finds himself firmly entrenched in the shadowy conflict between the forces of YHVH, Humanity, and Lucifer that has been ongoing since the creation of mankind. Unfortunately for Danny, he's stuck with far too little information and far too many enemies to face.
All he knows is that, unless he figures out how to fight and take down the people who are orchestrating the events currently beginning to envelop Brockton Bay, his daughter and everyone else living on Earth Bet are screwed.
Hopefully his newly found partner Gouto can help him find the truth, because if things really are about to get as bad as he says, then he needs to figure this shit out yesterday.
6 months before his wife's car accident, Danny Hebert finds himself forced to fill in the shoes of Raidou Kuzanoha. He's terrified out of his YHVH damn mind and extremely under-prepared for the coming trials, but he's got Gouto at his side and a world to possibly save. He doesn't get to bitch and moan about his current situation, not when the stakes are this high. Or at least, that's how Danny spins it in his mind in order to stave off the incoming panic attack. And hey, if all else fails he can just fake it til he makes it
