## Appearances

### Debut

Beuh: The begginings

Danogen "Dan" Shlorbin Vleergh is a major character in the beuh lore. Best known for his eccentric, conspicuous personality, Danogen is one fearsome gamer!

Danogen lives in his house, along with his father, Dan's Dad. He works at McDonalds, putting his best into his work. Danogen refuses to let a customer leave unsatisfied, which is what makes him such a courageous young gamer. He also attends school, but unfortunately has a crippling fear of decision-making, which ultimately proves to be his downfall after failing Beck University. But while a weak-spirited individual might let this faze them, Danogen uses his sheer force of will to overcome whatever obstacles may challenge him.

## Personality

Danogen is a fun-loving, maniacal, garrulous, absurd lad. Danogen at many times also proves to be quite obtuse, where not even he can truly discern exactly what he's doing. Despite this though, Danogen is still a strong-willed gamer and can prove to be powerful when it means most. For example, in The Great Fox Civil War Dan was a vital ally to Derek in taking down Fox once and for all.

Danogen is also easily frightened, as can be seen in the BanBan video. He is jumpscared easily, but that's ok as not everyone can be as poweful as I. This is one of Dan's major character weaknesses, which he eventually overcame in his new developments following the premiere of the imposing "Explain this one liberals" video by Gangdamstlye Gaming.

## Abilities & Talents

Due to Dan's occupation at McDonalds, Danogen is extremely good at monotonous tasks. This makes him a viable option for any task required. However, Danogen also possesses some powerful abilities:

* **Dimension Hopper:** Danogen possesses the powerful ability to swap to different dimensions at will. However, this ability can only be used once every 24 hours.
* **Fire Bridge:** Dan can, at any time, create a bridge using his pyrokinesis abilities. This bridge is actually a masterful illusion, as nobody can walk on fire.
* **Fire Walking:** Danogen may walk on fire at will. This proves especially useful with his Fireball ability, where he can create a ball of fire which he can roll like a bowling ball.
* **Acid Shroud:** Danogen can create a tight, protective seal of acid around his body. This acid is very potent, and is a key ingredient in Dan's signature orange juice recipe.

## Trivia

* Following the Season 2 and beyond redesigns, Danogen was given noticeably lighter skin.
* If not counting the intro, Dan was the first character to speak in the entire series.
* When Danogen goes to the pool, he usually wears his signature green swimming outfit. However in Season 3 only, they are given a noticably brighter color. This was later reverted due to severe critic backlash.
* In early appearances, Danogen had a signature dance, reminiscent of Fortnite's "Take the L". However the revisers quickly caught on to these similarities, and designed Dan's signature "PWNED" dance he is now known for.
* In his early years, Dan's hair was a dark gray color. It was later darkened due to unknown reasons. However, it's speculated to be because of his lighter color shift, to add back some contrast to his design.
* Dan's haircut is based off of Markiplier, if he wore a wig.
* In Dan's hit album "The Emporer's Stlye" Dan gave himself a darker skin tone, reminiscent to his Season 1 design.
	+ Danogen's album also ontains a typo, being spelled "stlye" instead of "style"
