about
Blood+ is an anime/manga/novel/game franchise produced by Production I.G. The
anime is complete at fifty episodes, with two finished novel serials and a five-volume manga adaptation rounding out the universe.
The story's focus is on Otonashi Saya, a teenager living with an adoptive
family in Okinawa. Saya loves her family (George, Kai, Riku) but suffers
from memory loss and can't recall anything before one year previous.
When
monstrous creatures (dubbed "chiropterans") begin appearing in Okinawa, Saya must accept her destiny as humanity's secret weapon and fight to defend those she loves.
David
David is an ex-military officer turned special
agent for the independent Red Shield organisation. As with all members
of Red Shield, David is devoted to ridding the world of horrible bat monsters.
He takes his appointed duty (to watch over Saya) very seriously and
makes it clear from the get-go that he is willing to risk everything
to achieve Red Shield's goals.
David carries a "burden of fate" (as Lewis puts
it) and past losses weigh heavily on his mind. His father (the previous
"David") died quite horrifically during the failed revival
of Saya in 1972. This tragedy left the young
David with some fairly sizable daddy-issues and a deep desire to right
the wrongs of the past. In the early 90's David served as an officer during the Gulf War
under the tutorage of Gray until his unit was wiped out
by an unexpected chiropteran attack. The only survivor of this massacre,
David was left with a collection of disfiguring scars across his body
and STILL MORE EMOTIONAL ISSUES. Subsequent to his recovery, David discarded
his true name and took up his father's role at Red Shield (*~issues~* intact).
Possessing of an incredibly cold and abrasive manner,
David begins the series as something of an emotional cripple (to quote Julia, "a robot"). He has little patience
with the teenagers who inadvertently wind up in his care and is excessively
driven to achieve Red Shield's objectives. As time progresses, he begins
to show his sensitive side a little more, though he personally feels this is a weakness - "I'm no longer as strong as I was".
Over the course of the series, David manages to be as manly as all fuck (jumping out of an exploding helicopter, anyone?) while still trying to sort out all the baggage he carries across the globe (he just wants to be nooormal). Between the shota opera and the Hawaiian shirts, he gets there in the end.
