<Agent Profile - CLASSIFIED>

Name: “Deuce” Marlowe
Code Name: Deuce
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Appearance:



Deuce stands a bit taller than the average person, clocking in at 6 feet 4 inches. While at first glance he appears merely lean and skinny, if one looks closely they’ll notice that his body is extremely well toned muscle. It betrays that Deuce has a well trained body that has seen much use. His body is also covered in small cuts and scratches, but nothing that would appear permanent and they often are merely fresh wounds. Both his muscles and his cuts are generally hidden by his clothes.

His skin is a tanned color, and he has worn dark green eyes. His eyes simultaneously convey intelligence, arrogance and a sense of fatigue. His hair is gray in color, and is generally falling messily down his face, often hiding his eyes. Every now and then he’ll slick it back if something more formal is required. His face, like the rest of his body, is often covered in scratches and small cuts, and it’s not uncommon to see bandages wrapped around his skin.

In terms of clothing, Deuce typically prefers casual clothing that can hide his appearance. This often consists of a raven black jacket, thrown over a dark green shirt and pants or jeans. His jacket, while simple in appearance, possesses many pockets useful for storing his weapons and other pieces of evidence. The jacket reaches just past his waist, enough to conceal all his weapons with the exception of the rapier.. Every now and then he wears a long coat version of his jacket, especially when it gets colder, this coat is saddle brown instead of black, this coat easily covers his weapons and reaches down to his ankles. His shoes are typically sneakers but sometimes he prefers dress shoes. He also has a necklace, attached to which is the same name tag reading Marlowe that he had when found.

In terms of storing his weapons, Deuce wears his rapier by his right side for use with his left hand. His pistols are in holsters on his chest, and he stores the switch blades on opposite interior pockets of whatever jacket he’s wearing. Another jacket pocket is used to store his trusty taser, and another is used for his revolver. Finally he carries his three grenades on his left side.

Psychological Profile: The Butei known as Deuce has been described as carefree, insubordinate, overly-trusting, extremely reckless, and bound by an idiotic honor code. However despite all of this or perhaps, some would argue, because of it, he always manages to get the job done.

Deuce is most definitely all of these things. He is indeed very carefree, rarely reacts well to orders, trusts far too many people, is reckless to a fault, and his personal code of honor restricts many potential job offers for a man of his caliber. Particularly those he sees as excessively violent or harming innocents. As a result of all this, it was a natural transition for him to transfer from being a freelancer back to a Butei. That way his ridiculous faults can be used as strengths, all that said he’ll still take on a job every now and then. On the side of course, even if it does stretch the law a little.

Deuce tends to be very sociable, always engaging others in conversation, but rarely actually talking about himself. This sociable attitude is what has enabled to make a vast network of contacts across the world. He is always telling stories of assignments he’s had in the past and pestering people in close proximity to him.

He has a very strong attachment to his belongings and often refuses to allow them to touch anything of his. No one, except in very rare occasions, are allowed to touch his revolver or motorcycle, or really anything he’s laid claim to. With a few very rare exceptions, he prefers to do all repair work for his belongs by himself.

Bloodline: <Philip Marlowe> - <Hardboiled Resolve>

The detective Philip Marlowe once said “I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun.”

Like most hardboiled detectives, Marlowe was a man who could only rely on himself hence explaining the power passed through his bloodline. Namely his physical abilities are fine tuned to the peak of human potential. He’s also a little more durable than the standard human. However Deuce’s speed is by far the most impressive aspect of his power.

He has extremely fine-tuned reflexes and great accuracy, able to perceive and react to things far faster than the average human. Not only does he have fast reflexes, but Deuce himself does move a bit faster than peak human performance, able to sprint 100 meters in eight seconds, a second faster than the world record. Similarly his 5k time is 12 minutes about half a minute faster than the world record. His speed and reflexes make him naturally adept at freerunning

Personal History:

Deuce wasn’t born in the kindest of households.

Well to say he was born into a household at all is a bit of a misnomer. For reasons Deuce never learned, he was abandoned at an orphanage as a small child. The only identification as towards his identity was a small tag hanging from a chain around his neck that revealed his last name. As fate would have it, this tag was the one thing Deuce needed to be immediately adopted.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t necessarily the most ideal outcome.

Deuce’s new found “parent” was a researcher more interested in Butei and their potential than in Deuce himself. Thus someone like Deuce, a young orphan from the bloodline of a famous detective was a ripe candidate for his experimentation. Day in and day out, Deuce was trained his body honed to take full advantage of his natural talents. Weaponry, Investigation, Infiltration, Strength, Speed, Deuce’s childhood was filled with the essentials of an operative over his own needs.

Still there was a problem, despite Deuce’s remarkable gifts, Deuce always found himself second best to someone else in just about everything. Hence how acquired of his own name of Deuce. However his training also deprived him of time to socialize, he was taught how to have a conversation in order to acquire information and infiltrate a group, but never had the opportunity to have a conversation for fun. Hence certain social cues can easily go right over Deuce’s head.

Frustrated by Deuce’s weaknesses, his father sent him off to the Butei Academy, hoping that his experiment might prove to be of some success. Indeed, while Deuce did prove to excel in his studies, he still failed to seize the top of his class. He was always one of the best, but not the best. Yet none of that mattered to Deuce, finally on his own, Deuce crafted a new identity for himself. Thanks to the books he had read as a child, Deuce constructed a persona of being a rugged adventurer and often imagining himself as akin to his ancestor to Marlowe.

After graduation, Deuce roamed around for a while. Easily slipping under the radar of the academy, the police, and his own father. Deuce wanted to establish a name for himself and see just how far his newfound identity could take him. And take him far it did, his skills left him uniquely suited to be a part-time freelancer and detective. Taking on a variety of cases and job requests, Deuce offered his services to just about everyone.

After over a year of working on his own, Deuce had cultivated a vast network of contacts and his name became well known in the underbelly of society as the crazy freelancer who would get any job done provided it fell within the confines of his own moral code. Satisfied with having proven himself for the first time in his life, Deuce gladly accepted this time when he received the offer to join Division 6.
