Gender: Male Age: 45 years old Height: 207cm Weight: 87kg Species: Peacock (Beastman) Origin: Nepal Personality: - Speaks with a cold tone and displays a somewhat self-defensive attitude. - Inherently well-mannered. - Shows a gentlemanly side in his own way. - Places great importance on etiquette and dignity between parties. - Calm and rational, yet possesses a bit of a prickly and sensitive edge. - Tsundere. Appearance: Overall clean-cut appearance with fair skin and a hipster-style beard. He has long eyelashes that make it look as if he's wearing light eye makeup. His hair is dark navy blue in an all-back style, and he has a peacock crest at the crown of his head. Attire: He wears an entirely snow-white suit with a frilled shirt and a turquoise brooch. (Seeing as he frequently wears white cotton gloves and even a thin white turtleneck under his shirt, it seems he has ironclad protection covering every part of his body except his face...) Characteristics: - He is a peacock beastman. - He does not express his emotions outwardly very much. - He always wears gloves when touching something. - He refers to others as "You." (Very rarely, he might use a more intimate term like "dear.") - A portion of his tail is missing, so he rarely spreads it open. - He is surprisingly weak to compliments and tries to avoid receiving them (because he gets embarrassed and his heart softens). - His laughter threshold is as high as a skyscraper, but once he starts laughing, he can't stop. - He helps "forever-alones" in his own unique way. - TMI: He originally worked as a counselor at "Catch Match," but due to his cold tone and blunt delivery of facts, he was transferred to being a practice partner. - When a certain emotion becomes intense, his crest trembles. Strengths: Playing the piano, cleaning, self-management, flower arrangement. Weaknesses: Touching dirty things, running (it's more that he refuses to do it than being unable to). Backstory: In the past, the bright and optimistic Duke dreamed of a happy future with the person he loved. However, he witnessed his partner cheating with his own eyes, and his tail was injured in the process. Traumatized by the person he loved, he felt disillusioned with both humans and beastmen. He cut off the damaged and "soiled" portion of his tail, and developed mysophobia at the same time. Wanting to ensure no one else ended up like him, Duke joined Catch Match and became a practice partner.
