'''2nd Lieutenant Dunstan Achilles "Danny" Raines''' is a player character in the PbP game [[A Flash of Weird]].


Tall, dark man in his late twenties with a calm manner, easy smile, and boyish good looks only accentuated by the scar across his left eye (he has many more, just none as prominent). Moderate drinker, terrible poet, reads a lot.

Raines has spent all his adult life serving with various British and British-adjacent militaries all over the Old World, from the Indian Army through the Expeditionary Force to the Cossack hosts, owing to a combination of restless feet, indiscriminate curiosity, and a natural draw to a life of violence - a severe character flaw, he readily admits, but one he tries his best to use for good. Though an excellent leader, his career has been held back by a certain touch of irreverence, often inconvenient sense of fairness, and reluctance to risk ever advancing beyond active fighting duty; but then, the same qualities make him all the more popular with the troops and keep him where he really wants to be so, ultimately, everybody wins!

2nd Lieutenant Dunstan Achilles "Danny" Raines is a player character in the PbP game A Flash of Weird.

Tall, dark man in his late twenties with a calm manner, easy smile, and boyish good looks only accentuated by the scar across his left eye (he has many more, just none as prominent). Moderate drinker, terrible poet, reads a lot.

Raines has spent all his adult life serving with various British and British-adjacent militaries all over the Old World, from the Indian Army through the Expeditionary Force to the Cossack hosts, owing to a combination of restless feet, indiscriminate curiosity, and a natural draw to a life of violence - a character flaw, he readily admits, but one he tries his best to use for good. Though an excellent leader, his career has been held back by a certain touch of irreverence, often inconvenient sense of fairness, and reluctance to risk ever advancing beyond active fighting duty; on the other hand, the same qualities make him all the more popular with the troops and keep him where he really wants to be so, ultimately, everybody wins!
