[h1][color=lightblue]Duncan Fang[/color][/h1]Male | 22 | Chinese/American
Duncan is a big guy. Standing over most at 6'4", Duncan is a bear of a man, built like a brick wall and probably just as solid. Duncan's physique is broad and sinewy, and low in relative body fat- quite clearly one of an athlete. Despite his build, Duncan typically stands in a very relaxed, bordering on lazy posture. His dark brown hair is short to medium length, and is often pulled back and tied in a short ponytail or top knot, and his chin and jaw is typically adorned with a tasteful amount of scruff a few days old. Both of his arms are covered in tattoos and his eyes are a warm, homey brown. [/center]



[color=lightblue]Personality:[/color]
Warm and easygoing, Duncan generally carries himself with an amicable and lax attitude. While not the most academically gifted student, Duncan supplements his lacking book smarts with a surprising amount of practical knowledge and experience. Though generally slow to boil, Duncan has a bit of a temper and can be quite imposing when properly riled up. While casually boastful and quite self confident of himself and his own abilities, Duncan isn't afraid to acknowledge his own shortcomings, and isn't above requesting help when needed. Loyal to a fault and seemingly fearless, Duncan has a rather well developed moral compass and won't hesitate to stand up what he thinks is right. 
 
[color=lightblue]Soul Powers:[/color] Duncan's soul powers revolve around mostly protection and sustaining through long conflicts, with only a single aggressive ability.[list][*][color=lightblue]Soul Claws[/color] - Enveloping his fist or other striking surface with Soul energy allows Duncan to enhance and empower his strikes. The strength of the claws can be increased at the cost of deeper drain on Duncan's soul energy.
[*][color=lightblue]Projected Soulmail[/color] - Encasing his body in soul energy, Duncan can significantly reduce the damage of incoming attacks. Duncan can also eschew his own personal protection to project the Soulmail onto someone else, redirecting their incoming damage to himself.
[*][color=lightblue]Soul-Fueled Regeneration[/color] - Expend soul energy to rapidly increase the self healing rate of wounds. Drastically inefficient compared to other methods of healing, but useful in an emergency.  
[*][color=lightblue]Soul Dynamo (Passive)[/color] - A small portion of the damage that Duncan takes is converted to temporary soul energy to be used in his other abilities. This temporary energy cannot take the place of actual soul energy and eventually disappears if not used.
