Tough Choice

There's so many, so many characters that I've written that I vibe with. Rarely have I ever been in tune with anyone else's written characters, so much so that it was more like watching a drama unfold rather than being joined with it, strung along for whatever event might transpire.

So, I suppose the question is which fictional character that I've written do I identify the most with?

I suppose, Duke.

Duke Dunnigan is probably the most honest, blunt and straightforward man I ever created. He is a vampire, though in all likelihood if I were to have a choice, I'd be a Lycan, and he's got the eye color of my grandfather [a color I wish I had] of deep crystal blue eyes that look like blue beryl gemstones gleaming softly in the lowest light against smooth mocha-brown skin. He's got black hair - to which mine is brown - and he's the tallest motherfucker in the series besides Zaleska, Sven, and a few unnaturally large people. He grew to that height as a human, so it's much different than the supernatural height the others have.

Duke is also kind of a dick. He's not exactly the smartest - we are not similar there - but he's street wise - which I am not - and knows his way around the neighborhood better than most. He's good at cleaning up, even better at rustling people's Jimmy's and always itching for a fist fight (much like I wished a motherfucker would when I was in high school).

I love him, he's probably the most fun character around, but once you've gotten past all that, he's probably the fiercest and most loyal friend you could have. He'd probably kill someone for you... No, he definitely would, and he'd enjoy every second of it and not in a psychopathic kind of way, but that it was humorous in seeing someone think that they might get away with whatever bullshit they wrought on him or a dear friend.
