BOTANOKINESIS
The vegetable world listens to the spirits of nature. As a Demisatyr, Danny is capable of manipulating existing plants (wood, vines, plants, moss, fruits, flowers) by command. He is capable of making plants grow at an accelerated rate, attack, and even move. His type of control is quite formidable, able to cause a seedling to grow into a tall tree in the space of a few seconds, trees to grow extra limbs, vines to snare and a myriad of other things. He is even capable of making plant life acquire locomotion by extricating it from the soil and moving about, but any plant or tree uprooted in this fashion will die in a manner of minutes unless quickly re-seated in a new location.
CHLOROMORPHISM
Because of the nature of his curse, Danny is capable of incorporating elements from the vegetable world into his own body. He may turn his skin into tough bark to absorb damage, give it the toxicity of the Manchineel tree, grow the defensive spikes of the Sandbox tree... or even sprout its explosive seed pods, which launch its seeds at up to 250 kph.
Note: Danny must be careful not to abuse this power - if at any point he transforms more than two thirds of his body at a time, he risks triggering Dionysos' Curse (see +wea Greenjack/Dionysos' Curse).
DEMIGODLINESS
Let's be honest, Danny is technically speaking a demigod. In other pantheons, that can be quite significant - but when it comes to the Greek pantheon, that can vary quite a lot. The children of Zeus and human women can be world-breakers and shakers... the children of nymphs, on the other hand? Not so much (Achilles was a total fluke).
The gifts of his particular birthright are more in keeping with the spirits of nature that are Nymphs and Satyrs:
Long Lived: Danny is mortal, although his lifespan is greatly increased (most likely up into the century-and-a-quarter bracket).
Enhanced Dexterity and Speed: Daniel is quite fleet and graceful of foot, and a great deal more agile than normal humans, Satyrs, and Nymphs, having that oldest, "wildest grace that horses have never had, that deer have only in a shy, thin imitation, and goats in dancing mockery".
Enhanced Senses: The sense of smell and hearing is particularly acute in the children of nature, on par with that of natural predators.
Presence: There's something about Daniel's presence that puts people at ease. It isn't an attempt at manipulation, but his connection to the Earth and nature makes him a 'grounded' individual, capable of exuding great serenity. Some people find his presence to be soothing.
Stubborn as a Goat: Danny is notoriously difficult to influence - he is notably resistant to attempts at subjugating his will... resistant, but not immune.
ECOLOGICAL EMPATHY
Danny is keenly attuned to the well-being and distress of his immediate environment due to his nature as a Demisatyr. This allows him to understand the status and disturbances of the nearby environment: the quality of the soil, the flux in insect and animal populations, the disturbances of local wild-life (for example, the plants violently torn by a running man). Unlike full-blooded Satyrs and Fauns, whose senses could encompass entire forests, Danny's range is only approximately that of a city block. This sense can be dampened or turned off at will, and Danny usually has it turned off anytime he is in the city- otherwise the experience would be simply overwhelming.
KINSHIP WITH BEASTS
The Satyr is a spirit of the forest and of nature, and has a special kinship with beasts. Non-supernatural or mythical animals are generally docile around Daniel and are often charmed by his presence. Danny is capable of communicating with them on a rudimentary level. The communication cannot convey sophisticated or complicated concepts, and it is geared towards the nature of the beast in question - predators and prey will be aware of different things and not notice others at all. Because his powers are limited by his half-nature, Daniel must either be able to look into the animal's eyes or place his hand upon their heads for the communication to occur.
Note: Mythical beasts are often hostile towards Satyrs, being naturally wary of their ability to charm animals.
LET IT GROW
Daniel can heal remarkably fasts from injuries as long as he has enough reserves of nutrients and sunlight - he is even capable of regenerating parts of himself that may have been destroyed or cut off without being immediately fatal - but this particular process requires Daniel to go into a healing stasis that could last several days, or even weeks. During this stasis, he must be in contact with fertile, healthy soil and be exposed to natural sunlight. Any disturbance of the process will require the stasis to begin anew when he is ready.
