Background/History: Duke is the doorman and chief bouncer for The Living End, one of the hottest bars and nightclubs in the Neo York Zero Zone. He started out as a fighter and performer on Maim and Smash TV, but didn’t draw a lot of fan “pop” and eventually retired. He moved to the Zone to get away from the all-intrusive multinationals and has been the doorman for The Living End for the past five or six years (or so.)
Personality/Motivation: Generally good-natured, Duke ensures customers feel welcome and potential trouble-makers do not. He tends to meet everyone with a smile and tries to avoid starting trouble, but is more than willing to finish any problems that may crop up.
Quote: "Wouldn't you prefer to take this outside?"
Powers/Tactics: As mentioned, Duke prefers to avoid fights when possible and will use his reputation and presence to defuse a situation. If that’s not possible, he'll act fast and brutally. Against most opponents a single blow will be sufficient to end the fight, but if that doesn’t work, he can pound it with the best of them. Anything less than a combat cybergraft cyborg has little or no chance, and few combat cyborgs have as much experience as he does. On the other hand, Duke prefers to avoid firefights, where his skills are of less use, and tries to keep things close-in and personal. With his boxing skill and cyber limbs, he can usually take out his opponents very quickly. Which is good, because his old-model cyberlegs are designed for stability and strength, not fluid motion, and he rarely expects to be able to outrun an opponent.
Appearance: Duke is a large man, several inches over six feet, and barrel-chested. His cyborg body tops the scales at over 400 pounds. His face shows the marks of a thousand fights and looks a bit off due to the sub-dermal weave. He'd be ugly if he didn't smile so much; as it is he brings to mind a battered and scarred bulldog. He wears normal (for the Zone) casual clothing when off duty. One duty he tends to wear black pants, a white dress shirt, and a black vest.
Duke's walk is heavy and slow, as if his legs are a little too short for him.
