Danny Wilkins



Danny Wilkins (also referred to as the Athlete) is one of the playable characters in BioShock 2 Multiplayer. He was the third character to be shown on the Cult of Rapture's Faces of Rapture's Civil War. An exceptionally arrogant football player, Danny (who refers to himself in the third person as 'Wilkins') uses a trophy as his unique melee weapon.


 * "Danny Wilkins is a naturally gifted athlete whose remarkable abilities have secured a perfect record for Ryan’s Raiders every season he’s been on the team. Danny does not recall ever having lost at anything. Though he does recognize that he has on occasion been on a losing team, he argues that the loss itself has never been his fault. Losses on these occasions were invariably attributable to his teammates, and, furthermore, in every case, Danny was otherwise occupied breaking and setting various records of his own."

Story


One day, during football practice, Danny meets a guy named Joey Glatz, who claims that he wants to be a great ballplayer and that Danny is his hero. Danny agrees to teach Joey how to play by saying "You wanna learn? Just watch me." However, Joey begins to complain about how the use of Plasmids are ruining football, prompting Danny to state that Plasmids are not ruining the game, but merely changing it. Danny offers Joey a SportBoost hypo, who refuses it and walks away. Danny believes that Joey is trying to shame him by walking away and replies by saying "The only shame is in losing, and you just decided to lose pal". Eventually, Danny completely loses it. In his third Audio Diary, he explains how he didn't mean to kill the rookie (aka Joey Glatz) and that it was an accident. Danny says he was playing hard and he was doing it for the audience. At the end of the Audio Diary, Danny can be heard imitating a cheering crowd.
