Duke Crocker

  • 34 years old
  • Tall (6'2") with a slim build and fairly broad shoulders
  • longish hair that has a tendency to hang in his face, even when he's got it in a ponytail
    • when it's in a ponytail, you can see grey at his temples and in his sideburns (visible in a couple icons), leftover from his brush with being aged to death
  • has a chin-beard and a mustache (which are definitely visible in all his icons), both with a couple flecks of silver in them, too
  • has dark, dark brown eyes
    • that turn BRIGHT FREAKING SILVER when his trouble goes off
  • 99.9% of the time, he's wearing either a button down shirt or a henley, unbuttoned to halfway down his breastbone, and an undershirt
    • also multiple necklaces, one of which is a large whistle (the long, narrow kind, not the high school gym coach kind)
    • if it's at all cold, he's also quite possibly wearing a shapeless cardigan
    • in the winter, he'll add a puffy vest or a sheepskin lined denim jacket to that
  • none of his pants come all the way to his ankles
  • he's usually wearing boat shoes with no socks, or boots that come up high enough that you can't tell if he's wearing socks or not
    • Seriously, dude's got a very specific, very strange fashion sense
    • the pants thing is mostly because living on a boat means trying to avoid getting your cuffs wet, though
  • TATTOOS! He has four that are regularly visible:
    • one on his left shoulder, which is some sort of circular, vaguely Asian . . . thing
    • a text-based one on the inside of his upper left arm that says . . . something about taking the less traveled path or something, I'm having no success in looking up the exact verbiage right now. It's hard to read anyway
    • a filigreed skull covered in butterflies on the opposite shoulder cap
      • you can actually watch his actor get that one on youtube
      • which is kinda weird but okay
      • it was an episode of one of those tattooing shows
      • with Kat von D
      • I am really really digressing here
    • a minimalist, vaguely tribal shark on the inside of his right forearm
      • this is the only one I've added so far
      • but there will totally be more!
    • we see MOST of Duke through season one (they like giving him nude scenes) so unless he's got one on his ass (which is entirely likely), that covers it for tattoos
  • says almost everything with in a dry, ironic sort of tone
  • has a somewhat husky voice
    • though not nearly as husky as it gets by season five holy crap someone give him a lozenge
  • has a very nice -- if fairly husky -- singing voice
    • the actor's the front man for a band that can't decide on a name, but I kind of hate their music so I'm always going to link to that one song from RENT as the go-to "here's Duke's singing voice" reference
  • is VERY physically expressive when he talks
    • I mean all the gestures
    • I try to cover this at least a little in pings but there's no way I could get it all in
    • Just -- if his mouth is open, his hands are moving
  • his mouth is usually open, even when he's NOT speaking. Dude's kind of a mouthbreather
  • smiles when he's freaking out
    • like, you can probably gauge his mental state by how hard he's instinctively covering and showing his teeth
    • again, I try to cover this in pings, but it doesn't always work
I thiiiink that's everything? Yeah, that probably covers it. Also, I'm very impressed with myself for getting all the bullet levels coded properly on the first try! (So naturally I had to edit the comment to put his name in the subject >.<)

Also, sorry-not-sorry I wrote a book. :P
