Overall Personality: The Duke is an introvert. She can hold up conversations, but usually has no interest to do so. Unmotivated and uninterested, The Duke would much rather be doing something else that she would deem "more productive" or "just plain old not boring". She even feels this way about her past, not looking for any answers of her past, even though they are shrouded in mystery. The Duke is, more or less, afraid of what she would find. It is much better to just be the person that she is now instead of finding out she's some monster of the past. The Duke also has strong feelings about being honest with everyone around her. She isn't into keeping secrets or trying to hide who a person is inside of themselves. She finds people who hide who they are even more undesirable than the usual boring sap at Syne.
Abilities
Aura type: Power
Aura Color: White
Semblance: Titaniam Hide - The Duke uses Titanium Hide to harden her body to the point of it attaining a completely black and shiny appearance. This process weighs her down to the point where she is rendered immobile. When activated, The Duke allows blood to pump through her body at an alarming rate and converts excess energy and aura to make the sort of black "shell" that covers her. Leaving her body exhausted, the process also increases her heart rate to levels that are seemingly impossible. Her veins are able to withstand this punishment because of the natural protection that the blood flow creates. You could even compare Titanium Hide to steroids, because The Duke's muscles are receiving enough blood to withstand devastating attacks that would otherwise destroy the young girl. (Mechanics: 20 aura for 20 defense against any attack be it dust or physical.)
Item 1: Weapon: Sharur - Sharur is a sledgehammer with a red oak handle and a head of 30 lbs. of black hardened steel. The handle of the weapon is four feet, three inches, making it tower over the small girl that wields it. On the bottom half of the handle is a worn-down excuse of a rubber grip, almost completely destroyed by constant use. With a lack of a sheath to conceal the weapon, Sharur is usually hefted on The Duke's shoulders and transported from there. Sharur is used to overpower enemies and crush defenses. Its heavy weight helps in this, and it's main use is to bludgeon an enemy. Again. And again. It should be noted that this is not the weapons only method of attack, but it's "secrets" have not been unlocked yet.
Item 2: Armor: Leather Straps - It's not much, but The Duke wears black leather straps around her torso under her clothes, giving her some protection.
History and Sample
- History:
- The story of The Duke, well... isn't much of a story at all. A young girl woke up in an alleyway of a small town in northern border of Vale, without any memory of what had happened before, or even who she was. Asking around the port town named Cain, the girl didn't make any progress. Instead of looking deeper, trying to find out her past, the woman abandoned the search. She concluded that she was probably some street kid living on the streets of Vale. What's there to know, right? The only thing that the girl had was a sledgehammer, which she dubbed Sharur, and the clothes on her back. Over the next few weeks, the amnesiac carved out a living.... er, a "surviving" by performing odd jobs and sleeping on the streets.
Unfortunately, these odd jobs were usually very hazardous. Bouncing for seedy establishments, driving out wild animals (sometimes even Grimm), assisting fishing boats during severe storms, that sort of work. To spread her name around, the girl adopted a name. The Duke. During one of these jobs, The Duke had to leave another part of herself behind. Her left arm. Trying to escort some.... well, bandits... out of a bar that really should of closed earlier. It turned violent, and during the fight, The Duke had her aura activated. Unfortunately, no one else in her current area, save for the bandits, were fighters. One fighter got through The Duke's aura, and unfortunately, severed the girl's arm. Now, she didn't loose as much blood as she could have thanks to her new-found aura, but there was no way that her aura could do something as monumental as grow a limb back. Broken in almost every sense of the word, The Duke ran away. She fled the town, stowing away on a ship passing through. She still doesn't know what became of the bar, or all of Cain, really.
In the next few months, The Duke found the town of Bellmuse, and was taken in by a large family on the outskirts of the town. There, she scrounged up bits and parts of old equipment and machinery and built herself a prosthetic arm. Having reflected on the small portion of her life many times, The Duke came to a conclusion. Before, she just tried to survive. She lived for nothing, she was an animal. But now, she had a purpose. Become a Huntress. She'll probably die, but that would probably be for the best, in her mind. No silly complications, just helping impact the world. After she felt confident in her abilities, she enrolled at Syne Academy. Whatever she was before, she doesn't exist anymore. Whatever good, whatever bad she did, is now null. Invalid. The Duke has pressed the reset button. Let's see where this new life will take her.
