History
Early Years
Dart was born in Oldham, Avalon, on the 15th of May 27 years ago as Daniel Gallagher. He grew up as the middle child in a family of five, with his father working as a local police officer and his mother as a teacher. He has an older brother Andy, a politician, and a younger sister Rebecca, who is currently studying Moonian. However, Dart himself isn't aware of most of this as he suffered from an amnesiac attack at the age of 15.
Amnesia and aftermath
While on holiday in Ragusa, Nugoslavia, Dart found himself having sustained serious injuries in the port section of the town. He was eventually taken to the hospital, where he was healed. However, the amount of blood he had lost caused permanent damage- in the form of complete amnesia.
Dart hasn't had contact with his family ever since; although they had reported him missing, Dart couldn't react due to loss of memory. Instead, he joined the group of pirates that had saved him, feeling endebted; the pirates in turn had no objections, as Dart was, and is, unusually large for his age.
Over the course of the next 10 years, the group continued to elude authorities using an unpredictable pattern of attacking and small, agile boats. Luck didn't last, and in the end they were ambushed. The resulting scuffle of the Revenge was only survived by Dart, though the file in the Green Earth archive claimed there were no survivors.
As a soldier
At the time Dart managed to escape the Green Earth authorities, the First Dakota War had recently been ended in a major victory for Green Earth. As his hatred for Green Earth had reached a peak at that point, Dart travelled to Orange Star to enlist in the military. There it was soon discovered he was in the possession of CO powers, and he was elevated to CO status, becoming Orange Star's new Admiral of the Navy - ironically, the equivalent position to the one he had aspired to obtain in the CDF prior to the amnesia. He fought in the SMART War as the allied nations breached their stronghold, and decapitated their leader Vogel at the earliest possibility, putting an end to SMART once and for all. It was during this occassion that he met Madison, a then Green Earth CO. Soon after the Second Dakota War started Maria was assassinated and Dart was promoted to Commander-in-Chief, a position he has held since.
Commander-in-Chief
As the Commander-in-Chief Dart was responsible for making peace with Green Earth, despite his issues with the nation. In the early stages of leadership Dart was confronted with insubordination, as well as betrayal on two seperate occassions but managed to come through relatively unscathed. However, the relations with certain COs are strained due to this. Despite this Orange Star won the war against Macro land after suffering two major defeats at the hands of them, and Dart ensured the end of the conflict by executing the opposing leader, Lazarus. Since then relations with Blue Moon have become strained due to several factors, and a war broke out which was resolved favourably for Orange Star's. However, Dart was sacked after the conflict ended due to not being able to prevent a terrorist attack on Westhaven and generally having poor relations with the chairwoman.
Personality
Dart was known for being hot-headed, but he's mellowed due to the influence of Madison and being the commander-in-chief of Orange Star. Forced to review issues more thoroughly because of his promotions Dart has since shown some ability to set events to his hand; whether this is through luck or skill is debatable. He has a caring side, but he rarely shows it as it makes him feel uncomfortable and it clashes with his role. If he does, it is to Madison only.
Relationships
Dart is currently involved in a relationship with Madison, though it is still kept a secret from the other Orange Star COs.
Out of the rest of his subordinates Dart got on best with Grey Fox, despite their history. Chase's work ethic made Dart dislike him but his skills as a CO were valued. Dart had less profound relations with any of the other COs during his reign, though he felt he let down his predecessor Maria in initiating the Second Dakotan War which haunted him to the end.
Dart hated Viola, yet didn't have a problem with Thor because of their similarities. He thinks Adrian is not fit to lead a country as he is too naive. He has an intense dislike for Raoul because of his perceived assassination attempt on the entire Orange Star command staff at the time. He dislikes Ken for his behaviour, but seemed to get along with Procella. His contact with Joseph was limited as he was fired before Dart could form an opinion on him.
