Personality
Once he made it big in the major league in America, Darius had a wild side that pushed him to do unsavory and shameful things. Though he was brought up in a strict household, a young man with fame and money tends to live life as if they were invincible. During his time in America he was incredibly cocky and arrogant. He believed he was untouchable and with his impressive playing record, he almost was. It wasn't until being forced to retire and leave his fame behind that Darius became the more mild mannered and friendly individual that he is today. Since playing in Japan, he has always been a team player and is the first to compliment his fellow teammates and raise morale when the team is trailing behind during games. 

Despite this, Darius' wild and cocky attitude lies dormant. Once he realizes he's succeeding and performing above everyone else, his invincible attitude returns. Many say that it is because of this, his days playing professional baseball in Japan will be short lived.

History
Born and raised in Southern Vermont, Darius was brought up from an early age to be the best at America's national pastime. His parents constantly pushed him to succeed and succeed he would. By the time he entered high school, Darius was quickly made captain of the baseball team after demonstrating his incredible abilities at hitting. The small town Vermont high school would go on to place 3rd nationally in his first year of playing. It was not long before scouts made the long trip to scout the young man to play in the MLB. After graduating, Darius was picked up by the Miami Marlins to play professional baseball as a designated hitter. He was only 19 when he began his professional career and despite the team's overall lack of success, Darius still shined as one of the better hitters in the league. His new career lead Darius down a dark path and at the age of 20 he was faced with a scandal that would end the rest of his career. Sexual allegations had arose with several of the major league player's fans and due to the overwhelming controversy, Darius was forced to retire mid season. Several months later, Darius received an invitation to play for Japan's Yomiuri Giants. Darius was moved as an outfielder and began playing a year after leaving MLB. Among the ranks of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league he proved to be a strong team player. With the intention of atoning for the mistakes he made in America, he remained humble despite winning the Japan Series Championship in his first year of playing. Darius is also well known for treating his fans with the utmost respect. After games, Darius will spend hours outside of the team locker room signing gloves, bats and baseballs for fans all clamoring for audience with the hitting great. 

Darius spends most of his time in the heart of Tokyo. Most of his time is dedicated to perfecting and working on his baseball abilities and in his down time will often be seen driving around the rural areas and around mountains. Though he has lived in Tokyo for a few years, he is still very much a stranger to it's land.
