[indent]The Dunk. Everyone in a small town like Kuroshio knows of the [i]Dunk[/i]; how could they not? He's one of the few foreigners to walk its cramped streets, wide-shouldered and a head taller than anyone else. He plays basketball, because [i]of course[/i] he does - with a back like his, he was practically born to do it! Now if only he would stop smoking. That stuff kills you, and it's illegal for a high schooler to boot. He's going to ruin his chances of a sports scholarship that way, and that'd be a shame; it's practically guaranteed he qualifies for one otherwise.

Known for his avid love of parties and bending the rules, Duncan embodies many admittedly unwanted traits for a Japanese high schooler. At least in the eyes of the adults; his peers, at least the ones he calls friends, tend to admire him for those very traits, calling him brave. He's loud, boisterous and usually found at the center of attention - seemingly his favourite place to be, if he can help it. He's outgoing and sociable with a tendency for pranks, and even his friends admit he can be a bit 'too much' at times; so focused on having fun that he forgets the feelings of others in the process. "He means well, though," his friends would quickly add if asked, "He just needs a slap back to reality sometimes."

For a basketball junkie, he talks surprisingly little about the sport - and even less about his home life. Apparently he moved to the city due to his mother's work, but rumour has it she passed away a while ago. No one knows what his father does. Come to think of it, Duncan has never mentioned his father. But he [i]must [/i]be rich; Duncan's always dressed so well, and even treats his teammates to food on the regular. Who knows, maybe he is modest and just doesn't want to brag about his family's income! 

Ha. That'd be a first.

🏀 The most outwardly peculiar thing about Duncan is his size, or rather, his height. At 6'7'', he stands heads above his Japanese classmates, and it's earned him a plethora of nicknames, stares and whispers over the years. Needless to say, it's made blending in impossible. Most everyone in Kuroshio has at least heard of him in passing; the foreign giant, always smoking in the streets.

🏀 Local basketball ace; the source of his nickname. 

🏀 His mother was Japanese.

🏀 Smoker. Usually turns to the cig when he's nervous or stressed out in particular. Recently, that seems to be often.

🏀 Is hellbent on being chosen for the New Zealand trip. That alone surprises no one, considering how vocal he's been about hating the small town he's stuck in, but recently it's turned into a near obsession for him - which has raised more than a couple of brows. He's even said, though apparently in jest, that if he isn't chosen, he's gonna beat the spot outta whatever sorry sod stole it.
