1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes, I do! Duke is sadly underrated by a great deal of the fanbase. 2. What name(s) I call this character - Duke; Duke Devlin; Otogi; Ryuuji Otogi. I tend to slip into the Japanese name if I'm discussing the manga in person. Occasionally when I discuss the Japanese anime. But again, only in person. I like pronouncing the Japanese name. XD; 3. What image-song I associate with this character - Ohh, wow. I have quite a few. **needs to post the fanmix EP she's created.** For now, I'll shorten it to Human by The Killers. And Where Will You Go? by Evanescence. Both songs have made me think of Duke since the first time I heard them. Where Will You Go? because of how Duke seals himself off, and Human because of his personality in general. **has a detailed explanation for both on the fanmix EP.** 4. What color I associate with this character - Black, red, green 5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - I have developed quite a taste for Duke/Serenity lately. I really think he would be better for her than Tristan, because he doesn't shelter her. She's been sheltered all her life and she needs a chance to break free of that.
Platonically, I have always been fascinated by the unnamed store manager in episode #46 and wanted to explore his possible relationship with Duke. I'm still sure he was who I was thinking of when I wrote In Memory and had a short mention of Duke with an employee. I'm thrilled I've finally been able to get into their friendship in recent fics.
I also like the dynamic between Duke and Tristan. The way they're constantly at odds yet seem to have some odd friendship is interesting. When one is hurt, the other gets very upset about it. 6. What I would want to say to this character - "I'm so sorry the anime screwed up your introduction. You're really a lot more mature than those episodes portrayed." Also, what Crystal mentioned about not sealing himself away. I'm convinced he does this in the anime, and it's quite apparent that he's doing it in the manga. 7. What my plans would be for this character - I'm just starting an Indiana Jones-ish adventure fic in which Duke is the lead. He and the other two principle leads, David and Serenity, are going to have quite a hectic time of it. Duke will keep getting snatches of memory from the past, too. Eventually, the reason why he doesn't remember this time around will be revealed.
