Picture of Duke captured by camera feed of a resistance member.

Background

Duke lost family during the Hamidon wars back when he was still a kid. It was through sheer luck that he managed to survived and was brought to Praetoria by other survivors. Growing up has not been easy and Duke learnt how to fend for himself. He knew that he had to be strong to survive the coming years.

Some say that Duke became the man he is today due to his harsh experiences but only Duke himself knows. Strength & Power are the only thing that mattered to him. Those who are weak deserved to be sidelined and let the stronger ones climb on their backs.

When he was old enough, Duke applied to join the PPD believing that a strong arm of law is necessary to eradicate the fringe elements. Unfortunately for him but fortunately for the people of Praetoria, Duke of rejected. Not one to take no for an answer. Duke trained harder and reapplied with the PPD. Yet he was turn down again. Each time he was rejected, he trained even harder.

Until finally the recruiters can no longer stand seeing him again and again. The recruiters revealed that he passed the physical test but failed on the psychological evaluation. He was deemed too extreme & exhibited streaks of sadomasochism in him. Needless to say, Duke did not take it too well, causing a ruckus and was eventually imprisoned for a short-time.

Months after his release from BAF, he chanced across a skirmish between the PPD & the resistance. Taking the opportunity, he joined in the fray and defeated the resistance members. Though not before the resistance managed to take down most of the PPD.

Surveying the scene he noticed one of the PPD member who was still alive although badly injured. Recognizing the wounded cop to be the PPD recruiter, Duke grinned menacingly. Using a resistance weapon, Duke finished off the dying officer to made it look like he was killed in the fight.

Picking up a PPD transponder, Duke radioed in reinforcements. Unaware of what actually happened, the PPD reinforcements who arrived later were grateful for Duke's assistance. For his 'valiant' efforts, they rewarded him with a partial suit of power armour & also contact for a liaison should he wish further contribute to Praetoria.

POWERS

Toughness. As an orphan. Duke grew up learning how to fend for himself. Dishing out punishment and taking it as well. In addition to his sadistic way of training himself up. He is as tough as nails for a mortal human.

Strength. If there is one thing Duke understands it would be might equals right. To this end, he constantly pushes himself to become stronger.


ABILITIES

Advanced Mechanical Skills. If Duke isn't working out in the gym, he is in his workshop. building and fixing stuff. This gave him an insight on how to repair or improve existing hardware that he lays his hands on.

Brawler. Going through the school of hardknocks definitely taught Duke a thing or two about fighting to survive. When it comes to melee combat, he is definitely no pushover and enjoys laying down the pain on those dumb enough to stand in his way.

PARAPHERNALIA

PPD Chest Armour 2.0 beta
Given to Duke as a reward. This PPD is made of ceramite alloy that protects its users against light munitions. To improve survivability of PPD officers, scientist has included a M.P.D.F device on the armour. The Mobile Pre-emptive Deflective Forcefield device projects a minor force field that moves around the wearer intercepting incoming attacks. Needless to say, this armour is still in testing stages and Duke is the guinea pig.

Retrofitted Power Gloves

A trophy looted from a resistance member. Duke has managed to repair it and improvised it. The gloves when worn will augment the wearers strength and also release an explosive energy when striking a target.

Cigars & chewing gum

Duke is never without either one of them.

Sunglasses
Blocks out sunflares, gunfire muzzleflash and amongst many other bright lights generated by those with special powers. It also makes Duke look more badass.
