Daniel 'Storm' Marcus

History
Daniel 'Storm' Marcus is the second child of Daniel Sr. and June Marcus.

Interests
Growing up he had a variety of sports interests, but his greatest was a combination of Shotokan and Seido style Karate. He excelled in this and had a particular affinity for close quarter offensives and recovery attacks.

Personality
Storm is a fiery individual who often loses his temper, hence his name. He is also incredibly loyal and tends to foster that same loyalty from others. His erratic nature can often escalate issues needlessly. He is extremely protective of those close to him. While he might have the occasional issue with someone he loves, that is immediately made a non-issue if threats from outside appear. To those who don't know him well, he can appear cocky and arrogant, but those close to him often see a softer, and recently, much more extroverted personality. He has calmed in recent times, largely due to his relationship with Corey and Marcel.

Family
Daniel Marcus Sr. - Storm's father, often estranged. The two have a relationship that is often strained. As a result they are not particularly close. Storm often blames Daniel Sr. for abandoning his mother and their family.

June Marcus - The rock of Storm's life, he adores his mother like no other. In his eyes, she can do no wrong. He has spent his life since his parents divorced, taking care of his family and his mother.

Abigail Marcus - Storm has a particularly strained relationship with Abby as she sided with her father during the divorce. Ever since, Storm has never truly forgiven her, or managed to forge a new bond with her.

Dade Marcus - Storm loves Dade with all his heart, even when he does not realize this. Storm is the second part of his heart and the two brothers have an almost empathic bond. Despite their tribulations, if push came to shove, neither would hesitate to do anything to save the other.

Mike Mitchell - Storm's adopted brother and former best friend, Mike became an official Marcus in Season 4. After he married Sarah, he became a Leo-Marcus. Mike and Storm have a particularly close bond.

Sarah Leo
Storm and Sarah were long involved in a relationship. Though they never consummated this relationship, they shared many intimate experiences. To this day, Sarah remains the only girl Storm has been truly tempted to be with.

Lucas Sheridan
For four seasons of Storm Front, Storm was involved with Lucas. He was in many ways Storm's first real love and the person responsible for Storm exploring his sexuality for the first time. Their relationship was often tempestuous and driven by teenage angst and emotions, coupled with the difficulty of being in a same sex relationship. Storm seemed to take more issue with it than Lucas, fearing potential backlash and rejection from those around them. Over time he came to accept what he was and began to express himself more openly with Lucas until finally coming out in public as Lucas's boyfriend. Toward the end of their relationship, the two lived together until Storm's eventual departure from Merlow.

Marcel Lewis
In Season 5, Storm returned to Merlow for the first time since losing his Regionals Championship the year earlier where it is eventually revealed that he is now involved with Marcel Lewis, his long time close friend and ally. The influence Marcel has had on Storm is obvious, with Storm seeming calmer than usual, though still possessing the hint of fire that he was often known for.

Corey Caines
During Storm's time away from Merlow following his loss at the regionals, he met a boy who immediately took a shine to him. Despite Storm's efforts to remain isolated, Corey won him over, but Storm was soon forced to intervene and help save Corey from a very abusive situation. Ever since, the two have been inseperable. While their relationship is platonic in nature, it is one that Storm places above every other relationship he has.

Life Away From Merlow
During Season 4, Storm left Storm Front after 'Goodbye'. He returned for the two part finale, 'The Price We Pay For Glory' before leaving again. He first spent time with Marcel in Drake, before moving on to a location that has never been revealed by name in Storm Front. He spent his last school year here, and met Corey Caines and Su Paisley. Less concerned with trying to rebuild his position socially, Storm focused on training himself and gaining a wildcard entry into the Nationals Tournament. He became extremely close to Corey, the two eventually becoming inseperable. Sensing Corey needed stability and constancy helped encourage Storm to act more responsibly and take the youngster under his wing. He eventually returned to Merlow at the end of Season 5, having successfully won the Nationals Championship.
