Name: Duncan Lloyd
Nationality: Duncan is a fifth generation American, but his ancestors do hail from Ireland.
Admitted School: Hircine High
Age: 18 (Senior)
Weight: 180lbs
Height: 5'10"
Appearance: Duncan stands in a slightly slouching fashion and has a very lithe body mass with little fat to him but with no protruding muscles as well. His facial features are at first glance very bland and normal looking, however after looking at him for long periods of time you can see that his eyes have a very heavy look to them as if he wished he was asleep, his expressions are stern, serious, and yet somehow very cynical in appearance. He has nothing that distinguishes his look from anybody else, such as facial hair, scars, or tattoos. His skin tone is neither to dark or to light, it's a very clear balance of the two.
As far as fashion goes, you'll find that Duncan is pretty much an average joe type of fellow. He's jokingly said that his wardrobe doesn't consist of anything but a few band shirts and a dirty pair of jeans and while he does have some formal wear and some ragged out clothes used for the gym, there is a lot of truth in that statement.
Eye color: As stated Duncan's eyes are nothing really special, a dark brown that is pretty much standard among most people.
Hair: Duncan's hair is pretty much routinely shaved and kept at a rather modest one inch length, what appears to most is simply a thin layer of brown hair.
Habits: Truth be told he drinks quite regularly and most of the time is carrying around a bottle of Power Aide that just so happens to be spiked with a generous amount of vodka. This of course has allowed him to have a very good constitution, but his slightly slouching fashion is usually attributed to him being slightly -if not completely- inebriated.
Other Information
Personality: Duncan is pretty much a bit of a disappointment when it comes to the personality department, for the most part though one thing is apparent: and that's his general lacking of a definite one. When examining him further though you can see someone who is generally a bit of a cynic and bitter as all hell, but it becomes clear that even this examination is a ruse put up by him to mask the fact that on the inside he's truly a very morally right, good, respectful, and an overall caring person.
Duncan also enjoys disguising himself, looking like someone else, acting like someone else sometimes, and fooling people to believe he is someone that he actually isn't. One of Duncan's favorite hobbies is drawing, which is proven by the in-depth costumes he draws out, sometimes he also draws out some of the looks of terror he's seen other people make if he can remember it well enough. He keeps these drawings in a book locked up in his room and looks at it every now and then as what could be seen as he happily reflects on his past.
When it comes to social situations Duncan is a sensationalist, he enjoys drinking and will flirt endlessly with anything that has breast and doesn't have a penis. However anything involving romance and Duncan hardly ends well, as he is somewhat misogynistic by nature (Try having seven 'serious' ex-girlfriends and see how you feel about the opposite sex). When it comes to ethics some would think Duncan was somewhat of a criminal, his intentions are always right but he doesn't let things like “morality” get in the way of doing the job right.
Hobbies: As said Duncan enjoys engaging in drawing and in a world filled with digital artists and such he is probably one of the better traditional artists around. Beyond that though he is an avid reader and academic preferring of course to keep his mind well fed and brimming with knowledge at all times.
Extracurricular: A regular sportsman when it comes to combat he does not mind engaging in a regular match purely for the sake of entertainment or a good time (in fact it is very possible that he will participate in tournaments for that very reason), because of this he is a regular at the local MMA gym.
Important Details
History: Duncan Lloyd is for the most part a relatively simple person, he of course has a few irregularities in his life, but nothing that makes him significantly psychologically unbalanced or anything resembling well rounded, perhaps though one word describes Duncan and this is the one word that has haunted him for the entirety of his life: average. In the big picture Duncan is simply a summation of American statistics: height, weight, looks, intelligence, and family life. Nothing about Duncan immediately stands out and grabs the average on looker, which of course Duncan is all too quick to notice.
Born and raised in San Fran, Duncan was the third and youngest child to Elizabeth and David Lloyd. The gap between him and his eldest brother was fifteen years and his sister had an eight year advance on him, this of course added to Duncan’s own sense of family dynamics as he was nothing but and continues to be nothing but what amounts to be an extra in the lives of his family. For the most part Duncan grew up in the usual way, played with enough friends to be considered ‘An alright guy’ and in school he was usually the median in which curves where decided.
In middle school Duncan discovered the one thing that he had over his peers, the fact that he was well spoken and had the ability to do well with women. Originally a fairly entertaining habit, that has long since been abandoned and Duncan has taken a small vow of celibacy musing bitterly that “It’s perhaps a cruel irony that my interest in women has died out when I am supposed to be reaching my ‘sexual peak’”.
By the time Duncan reached the age of fifteen he had grown disinterested with his parents and they themselves had grown far too disinterested with Duncan, Approaching with the idea of emancipation lead to them going to court and Duncan becoming for all intents and purposes a legal adult at the age of sixteen. This was quickly followed by Duncan dropping out of highschool and going on what would seem to be a cliche 'find yourself' journey to the east.
With this Duncan got on a plane to Thailand with only five hundred dollars to his name. Doing a variety of odd jobs to make ends meat it was only when his money ran out and his opportunities ran thin that he found a place where he could live for free and in general have a nice time: the local Buddhist monastery. In the normal coming of age story this is where a monk teaches him kung-fu, but in reality Duncan spent most of his time studying and meditating. Muay Thai came second, but even then it wasn’t really a major concern of his, merely something to do and to keep his body focused, a year and half went by a lot quicker than Duncan imagined and he decided to come back home with the intention of completing his highschool career and then coming back to Thailand to resume studying in the monastery.
When he returned home he was surprised to find his mother had been struck by illness and that his family had moved to Arizona in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets, for now Duncan remains in the home of his family and is currently providing for himself by a mixture of food stamps and taking advantage of free facilities. Re-enrolled and finishing up high school at Hircine High and dedicating his life to quiet meditation and a humble life rooted in piousness.
And of course the occasional fight.
Fighting Style: Overall Duncan remains a thinker and not a fighter, of course being a thinker translates extremely well into the fighting world.
For some reason Duncan contains quite the impressive amount of speed and his strength as also grown significantly due to the Muay Thai conditioning he has taken part in; as a fighter stylistically he has a strong basis in Muay Thai, but being a sponge for moves it is not at all surprising to see him incorporate many grappling and other striking moves into his game. Watching Duncan fight is truly much like watching a mish-mash of other styles placed together: unorthodox, graceless, and in most cases brutally effective.
Strengths: Overall he is an extremely balanced fighter with skills above average in speed and strength, but with a special dedication to pain tolerance (mostly do to the Muay Thai conditioning). His average size has allowed him to adapt to many situations and it will continue to ensure that no matter the size of his opponent he's never at a truly terrific size disadvantage.
Weaknesses: Duncan's average size and well rounded fighting abilities pretty much give him the stigma 'Jack of all Trades, Master of None' and while his conditioning is well and good his stamina does prove to be a glaring weakness when it comes long drawn out fights.
