stats

Name: Duke (it's his real name...)
Age: Uni age

Generally gets along well with other people, a little absentminded. Earnest and hardworking. Really patient. Maybe a little eccentric. He looks kind of gay but he's not gay. He's evesexual.

Highly invested in his work and is generally thinking about something or the other, so he's kind of slow on the uptake when it's not work-related or Eve-related...I think the best term to describe him that I can think of is the Singlish term "blur king".

A huge idealist and young genius, studies brain-computer interfaces/VR technology, interest in artificial minds (AI). His ultimate goal is "the betterment of the human species" aka moving people into the virtual world - detaching their consciousness from their bodies to live in the virtual world as AI-like beings. This has the notable advantage of ridding people of any inconveniences from having imperfect body parts...also, indefinite lifespan, etc. He's the leader of a cult devoted to fulfilling this goal.

He's obsessed with Eve for related reasons. Though lately he's become rather a lot creepier than I originally imagined...
