Daniel

Daniel is a character in Trainz Parodies

He is voiced by BNSF 8010.

Persona
Daniel is a responsible and friendly engine. He enjoys MSTS and Trainz, sometimes up to the point where he takes too much pride in himself for being featured in it. He idolizes Shawn (for letting him co-star in MSTS) and Nicholas (for talking about classic TV and the military) and often gets excited if he goes near Marias Pass, or other routes that were featured in MSTS. He sometimes gets upset when he sees the Northeast Corridor because it has cab signal requirements and therefore he can't lead there.

In spite of being friendly and polite, he hates uncertainty and waiting, which often leads to him bothering his friends for favors, mostly on on short notice. Sometimes, his curiosity gets the better of him, leading to him asking questions or getting involved in conflicts, many of which are none of his business, or worse, taking his enemies too seriously, sometimes to the point where he "bullies" his enemies. This can land him in tight situations with adversaries, especially if he reminds them of things they don't want to be reminded of. He can also be oblivious to being told off by other engines, especially when it comes to copying other people's Trainz/MSTS/Model Train series for his own liking. He gets very upset and angry when he sees his friends get into trouble/conflicts and often blows drama out of proportion (sometimes to the point where he wouldn't trust the parties involved in the conflict for a very long time.)

In spite of this, he tries his best to prove his reliability to the railroad, although he may not look or act that way at first. Unsurprisingly, he was responsible for some of the antagonists turning bad.
