Duke 💝

Physical Appearance

He is a tall, athletic young man with a strong, lean build, perfect for his role as a vigilante. He has warm brown skin and short, dark hair that’s usually closely cropped or styled simply. His dark brown eyes are expressive and often carry a spark of determination or kindness, depending on the situation. He has sharp, well-defined facial features with a strong jawline, a straight nose, and a subtle yet captivating smile that can light up a room (or your heart). Duke's posture is confident but approachable, showing his balance between strength and warmth. When he’s not in his Signal suit (which is bright yellow with black accents, featuring a stylized sun emblem), he has a casual yet practical sense of style—hoodies, jackets, and jeans. He always looks like he’s ready for action but still manages to exude a relaxed, down-to-earth vibe. He’s the kind of guy who looks effortlessly cool without trying, but there’s a softness to him that makes you want to lean in a little closer.
