Editing Danny Hebert (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Danny is not a parahuman, because of this he has no powers, though he had the potential to trigger and almost did several times.<ref name="R1.1"/><ref>The other fragments in that same cluster are retained.  To see the future is resource intensive, but the entity will harbor it as a safeguard.<br/><br/>More abilities are used to check, investigate, and then cast off.<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>When it knows the configuration is absolutely decided, it reaches for the last fragment it will cast off.  This one, too, it cripples, even largely destroys, so as to limit the host from using it in the same fashion.<br/><br/>In a haste to decide matters before it enters the stratosphere of that barren planet, the entity casts it off to a similar location as the future-sight ability.  A similar time, thirty-one revolutions from now.  The destination is a male, thin, in the company of strong males and females, drinking.-[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/interlude-26/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 26]]</ref><ref name="Ratman">[https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15024872 Comment by WildBow on Spacebattles]</ref> He is an able administrator and negotiator however, and occupied a high stress position at work as head of hiring.<ref name="SB1">'''ghostofthefallen''': Danny is the spokesperson and head of hiring at the Dockworker's Association but I assume that means he has a boss, is there any more information about that or where Danny position is in the work hierarchy? Also how well known would he be to the PRT leadership?<br/><br/>'''Wildbow''': Basically it's a voluntary position, member of an organization (Docks' general labor union) that defends & protects the interests of the organization. That includes negotiating & enforcing the deals made & standards held, ensuring to some degree that things are in compliance with laws (doesn't mean he's a lawyer- just that he's well versed in the law for matters like this - probably has some lawyers on tap), he'll stand by union members when issues arise, makes sure everyone's on the same page about changes, what the rules are, expectations, etc, and pushes the union's values.<br/><br/>It's a high-stress position. Heavy communication with often stubborn people (both on his side & otherwise)- he's not the union leadership but the link between them & the union member and between the union & the potential employers. In a situation like Brockton Bay's, he's basically playing a part in ensuring that people get a fair shake, favoring seniority and fair employee laws in a situation where it'd be very easy for things to slip into a 'lowest bidder, shittiest employee, shitty employment treatment with high turnover' situation. It very much requires ensuring that people don't flake off or try to cut in front of the lines, so to speak.<br/><br/>It also means he's the first person to be yelled at when there's no jobs to be had as people stick with the union.<br/><br/>'''Reyemile''': So if it's a voluntary position, what's he doing to earn money?<br/><br/>'''Wildbow''': Voluntary not in the 'volunteer work' but in the 'nominate yourself' sense. [Edit with afterthought: it’s worth stressing he could be supplanted if the association thought he was doing a bad job and someone else wanted to step up.]<br/><br/>Union collects membership dues (part of the yelling-at), he gets paid for helping and he's a member of the organization himself, so he does work as well (more yelling-at if he's deemed to favor himself or his friends). - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/44301909/ Conversation with Wildbow on Discord], Archived on Spacebattles.</ref>

If he had triggered, depended on the event that caused him to trigger, he could receive a number of powers based on the Queen Administrator Shard.

If he triggered due to Annette's death, he would become a Master with control over a rat swarm morphed into the form of his wife, which over time he can change into a variety of different and flexible forms beyond simply swarming his opponents and slowly approaches the level of control of Taylor.

If he triggered due to believing he failed as a father to Taylor, he becomes a Changer/Thinker who regurgitates all but the bare minimum of food needed to function into highly intelligent and durable rats which he has explicit control over. It is rather hard to kill the rats that he creates. He has a more generalised control over various rodents, but he has a much easier time controlling the rats he vomits up. He can see through their eyes, sense what they sense, and use them to control the other, general swarms. However, the more rats there are, the smaller his own perspective is, relative to the combined sensory input of all the various rats.

If he triggered due to abuse from his local government, failing his fellow workers and a belief that the city is seemingly hostile to him, he will manifest as a generalised Stranger/Master. Within a 3-4 mile range, he can cause people to become irritated or frustrated, using various small creatures such as insects, arachnids, rats, birds, and fish as vectors for his emotions. If he focuses on a single person, people and animals become irrationally angry at that person. Their life becomes ruined as insects and rodents collect inside their homes and cars, and everyone they meet becomes hostile or even attacks them. With such a power, he could largely remain impossible to find, if not for his anger that eventually causes him to confront the people he is angry with.<ref name="R1.1"/>
