Name: Duke Percino
Age: 18/senior
Attends: High school.
Personality: Duke has a high attitude problem that comes on very easily. Duke does not trust many people due to his life so it is very hard for him to be all pally pally with some one. He would never talk to someone first unless he had to ask them something but that is about it. Even if people came to talk to him he would be sketchy and not talk to them. However, if that person persisted to talk to him eventually he would give in and talk to that person after lots of analysis.
Once you have broken through the trust barriers and Duke has begun to know you that are when he becomes are true self. His true self is sweet understanding and caring and he is one that will protect you from harm as he knows what it is like to be hurt and harmed. For example, he protects his sister with all his might even though she might not let him at times. He is also very protective of women he likes.
When it comes to love Duke is very sweet, he gives gifts takes women out for meals and drinks and makes sure he is there for them no matter what. However, he expects the emotional thing back. For example, if he is upset he expects to be noticed and cared about. He works on a 50/50 relationship.
However, he is not perfect at all and has several flaws I his personality, one is jealousy he can get easily jealous with people. These are usually guys who are flirting with a girl he fancies. However Duke does not ignore it, he either says something he regrets later or he lashes out at the guy who had no idea he fancied the girl he is flirting with. Unless he is with a friend who will stop him Duke could be quite dangerous with the word jealousy.
His anger is a major problem, even though he goes through patches where he does not get mad, he goes through another where he is eating a poor kid alive who has not done anything to him. Duke always apologies if he upsets someone so much it makes him think about what an ass he is. He has been for counselling but they were useless to him, plus he got fed up.

History: In 1988 Duke Marcus Percino was born to his drug abusive mother. When he was born all his mother could care about was her heroin fix. That was all Duke's baby bashed brain could think of as well as he was born an addict to Heroin as his mother used it so much when he was born. Lisa (Duke's mother) had a baby boy two years before Duke and he too was addicted to heroin when he was born and had to be weaned off it like Duke.
When it came round to taking Duke home (Trailer park) he learnt that crying would not get his mother to come to him as she was too stoned or out of it to feed him. His feeds came on her terms as did his nappy changes leaving him with very bad nappy rash. The same went with his brother. His nappy must be changed at least 3 times a day, not enough for a tiny baby.
This happened all the way through his child hood and when he was two and thankfully potty trained with help of the midwife his baby sister was born and the same happened to her as what happened to Duke.
Duke never knew his father, but each child had a different father all drug dealers and spaced out freaks. When Duke was 8 and his big brother was 10 and his sister 6 they all were left in the house on their own as their mother wanted to go out and get drunk and she had no one else to look after the trio. Luckily even though this happened several times they survived this.
All the children in the family had crappy clothes, all hand outs and some they wore more than five times in a week without them being washed because their mother could not be bothered.
When Duke went to High school he was called a freak not because of how he looked, he did not wear eye liner then. This was because his clothes were very crap quality. Even though Duke likes to show that he does not change his image because of people he did this time. At 15 he went home and washed all his clothes his self whilst his mother sat on her arse and asked him to wash her clothes whilst he was there as their washing machine had broken and they could not afford the dry cleaners. He did it and put them all out to dry but his clothes still looked crap, he needed to get a job to earn some money but he did not know what to do.
One night he was sat in his room circling different jobs in the paper what he might be able to do when the door went. He walked towards it, is mother was passed out like usual and his sister was at her friends sleeping over. He opened the door to see his brother, a site he will never forget.
His brother had blood coming from his mouth. Duke did not know what to say but a sense of shock came over him as he then watch his brother fall to the floor. He was about to bend down to him when he looked up to see a black barrel pointing towards his face and a guy masked up who was holding it. Duke just ran out of the back door as he was scared the masked man disappeared.
Luckily a bully man from the trailer next door saw what happened and rushed out ordering an ambulance. Duke’s brother was sent to hospital. He remembered being told his brother was dead and it was because he refused to deal drugs anymore. His brother was a drug dealer and was shot dead because he refused to do a job. All the Percino children were close. Duke cried and he is still not over his brother’s death.
Duke went back to school and got a job working at hot topic, there was no way he was getting involved with drugs. He told his mother to go into rehab or he wants nothing to do with her. She actually went but killed her self two weeks after she was admitted as she could not cope. She was always a selfish pregnant dog, Duke was surprised when he and his sister did not show any emotion for their mother, but it was no surprise.
Now Duke had to bring up his sister, but he did have lots of help from the trailer park community they all pitched in and helped out it was a great community there. When he had the money he began to make his own style. He bought second hand clothes but got quality ones and just made his mark. He dyed his hair different colours began to wear eye liner and just made himself a trademark, 'Duke Percino' He began to skate as well. He went from the freak clique to the punk clique some how not even he could explain that one.
Some people did not like his style but he could not care less he was happy that he and his sister were getting through life. It was a shame about his brother. Now at 17 and in his senior year Duke is quite content, he has moved out of the trailer park and into a dorm, so has his sister. He still works to keep himself and his sister in money although she has started working now as she is nearly 16.
