SHE SPEEDS DOWN the street as fast as her legs can carry her, weaving in and out of the crowd as her gaze remains fixated on the animal escaping her at this very moment. ❝ quick !! someone catch that frog !! ❞ she doesn’t actually expect anyone to help her, but it’s worth a shot, she thinks, especially as the frog hops between spaces that she can’t get through. she lets out a loud groan as the frog leaps into the park, making a sharp turn to get through the entrance. she’s barely gone two steps before she’s tripping over litter someone left lying on the grass, and she falls face-first on the ground with a screech. a moment later and the frog is sitting on her head. ❝ you’ve got to be kidding me, ❞ she mumbles into the grass.
he is sat on a park bench reading a book he had just bought at an old thrift shop — private peaceful , the synopsis looked interesting enough . he feels at peace for once , the weather is nice and the sun is shining just right so he can read his book without feeling overwhelmed by light . he is just ending the third chapter when someone SCREAMS and duke feels his instincts start to kick in . is someone in trouble ? is someone hurt ? he gets up and shuts his book a little too hard before tucking it into a small bag he has brought with him to hold the book and only the book . he takes not one step before realizing where the noise came from and so he approaches the female , stature and demeanor unwavering , and holds his hand out to help her up . he does not speak , he finds no need to , but awaits her hand reaching for his to pull her up and help her to her feet . he really can’t imagine what a small girl like her is doing here , face first in the dirt ...

( rome flynn, cismale, he/him, fire emblem three houses ) * &. i know it must be scary for you , dedue molinaro , after surviving the takeover . to turn into someone like DUKE MOLERO , twenty-four year-old boxing trainer at jungle gym’s , right here in castle town . just remember that you are as dedicated as you are introverted , and to be wary , be safe , be true to who you are : HEROIC through and through .
you all know the gist of before castle town so i wont go too indepth about it but a lot of things that happened before will be mentioned in his new life in castle town now.
the basics.
his faceclaim is rome flynn! dedue is a sexy motherfucker okay. he is 24 ( twenty-four ), he/him, and his token is his one earring that he still wears to this day even in castle town.
so he DID survive the takeover ... this means that he remembers everything from his past life and 150% wishes that he didn’t!
he goes by DUKE now. duke molero. pretty much the same as his former name.
he is a trainer at the jungle gym’s and specifically a boxing trainer because it is a passion that helps him not only get out the stress of his past life, but help him remember how it used to feel to battle and fight.
of course he is still kind of the same personality wise but i will dive more into it below.
personality & castle town.
in his new life, duke is entangled in so many emotions and so much anger that he knows if he does not keep himself shut out, he will either hurt someone or himself, for that matter, which is what makes him very introverted to the point of being too blunt and too mean to some people if they are asking for it.
TW drug abuse, death mention. a major change from before was his desire for people who did not survive to remember. now, duke does not really understand what happened with the takeover and so he is unsure who to blame. those frustrations turn into cold shoulders, staying up way too late, abusing drugs ( more info asap ), and spend any free time he has boxing and basically fucking himself up. he does not know how to cope with it anymore. he lost his family in his past life and now he lost his friends in this life. at least, most of them, and the one who means the most ( dimitri ).
like said before, he does not know who to blame for this so he takes this feeling out on anyone who was close to him before. if you didn’t survive, he gives you the cold shoulder like it is your fault you don’t remember him, and if you did survive, he has mixed feelings on whether or not it was their ( or his ) fault that the others did not make it through. perhaps he thinks they could have done better.
the only exception might be with dimitri which i will plot out with hylia ofc uwu.
he is pretty stoic and introverted still but now it is with more of a mean streak than before. he comes off as rude does not really care much about others because he feels, in a way, there is no reason to care anymore about anyone or anything.
TW depression, death mention. this is something i recently thought up but i definitely see dedue going to a therapist for what would be depression because of everything that has happened. he lost his family to a massacre and then lost who you could argue was his second family to the takeover. it’s confusing. he doesn’t know how to explain it or truly feel and so most of the time he shuts down and becomes unable to reason with or talk to. he is just very unhealthy.
TW drug abuse. i have to do a lot more research on this to truly understand and write it but i have a concept thought out that one of the ways he copes it by using drugs. this is very much at stage one in the works so i will have to really develop this idea and research it and just plan it out as a whole. but dedue is just ,, suffering.
TW violence/injury, depression. lastly, when he is not working, he is usually training of some sort. i imagine he owns a punching bag at home and a set of boxing gloves and uses it as a way to get his frustrations out and try to make sense of everything. i imagine a lot of times this leads him into an episode but he always thinks it will help him even if it doesn’t in the end. that also said, i have to do some research on this too but dedue is going to be part of an underground boxing scene where they mostly fight almost bare handed and it gets very violent, leaving him injured a lot of the time with people asking many questions. he doesn’t like to talk about his side gig only because he knows it is unhealthy and not safe and he doesn’t need anyone lecturing him on what to do with his life when he is in the predicament he is in.
that is really it to be honest! im planning on doing a deep dive into both him and apollo where i write and post a lot more of their personality and backstory and current life to get my muse hyped up and to actually feel like im doing something right. but yeah. i will post in the channel if you wanna plot but it might have to wait until either later or tomorrow because i’m at work right now and i’m deadass tired. uwu love u all hope i didn’t break u too much.
***again a lot of this stuff is a basis and i will not be putting anything in set stone until i do more research because i always like to know what i’m writing about and drug abuse is a topic i have never really ,, covered before in all my ocs i have ?? so please bare with me i will be putting in 120% to writing dedue as perfect and as sad as possible LUL.
