CHARACTER INFO

Character: Hunk Garrett
Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender. Canon point: Some time after season 7 (but like if season 8 didn’t exist!)
Age: 19

Background Information:
Some information about Hunk

Personality:
*Hunk is a kind and encouraging member of his team, and is often referred to as the heart of Voltron (even though he is also the leg.) He is tall and brawny with a little extra fluff around the midsection, and notably quite physically strong. His size alone might be intimidating, but he has a friendly babyface that people can’t help but become endeared to.

*At his current canon point, his driving force is trying to maintain a sense of unity among his team, either by being the voice of reason, the motivation, or making them feel loved through his cuisine. At the start of the series, he was very much a rule follower who put his nose to the grindstone and tried to stick to the rules, which didn't always work out too well, being best friends with troublemaking slacker Lance, who would often drag him into shenanigans that would get the both of them in trouble. His curiosity and knack for science was just enough to keep him involved, in spite of the risk of potential consequence. Once outside the confines of the garrison and without limits in space, he started to see the effects of the oppression of the Galra empire on Balmera, where he quickly became an ally to the Balmerans suffering under Galran rule, stopping at nothing to ensure their freedom. This wasn't something he'd had to come face to face with on Earth, and his empathy emboldened him to take a stand to help those in need wherever help is needed. His conviction helped him embrace his role as a Paladin of Voltron very quickly, and his self preservation keeps him rational enough to carefully think through the team's missions. He's also quick to speak up when he sees a possible flaw, hiccup, or risky margin of error in a heist or rescue mission. On more than one occasion, Hunk's level headedness has prevented the team from succumbing to downfall, whether being suspicious of a group of bounty hunters attempting to steal the blue lion, or suspicious of a space monster disguising itself as Earth to lure the whole team into becoming a snack. His exposure and trial by fire experience while traveling through the galaxy aboard the castle of Altea helped him to mature into the role of a reliable and trustworthy Paladin of Voltron.

*He sometimes has a tendency to be blunt and a little abrasive at times (it’s the Capricorn in him), and in spite of being the heart of the team, he can be a bit of a pessimist at times. Fortunately he curbs his pessimism with sarcasm that people either love or hate. On the bright side, he tends to be more realistic most times, which helps him keep his friends grounded when their ideas are a little too lofty. This has strangely been more of an asset than a detriment, although his squeamishness with alien slime, sinew and bodily fluids has contributed to making some missions take a bit longer than they need to.
He’s a pretty good judge of character, and when he suspects someone’s up to no good, he will be a sassy salt lick about it. As hard as he is on those he finds to be untrustworthy, he's still good at heart. No ~~serious~~ harm will come to those he distrusts, although his big heart makes it easy for him to forgive when changed behavior is demonstrated. For example, the bounty hunters they encountered early on came around later as allies to the Voltron coalition, and Hunk had little issue teaming up with them.

*Hunk is pretty cerebral, and is very astute when it comes to figuring most things out, including alien technology. He’s quite good at mechanical, mathematical, and astromechanical engineering, and is a fast and eager learner. He and Pidge both provide a lot of support when it comes to the ship's maintenance and care. He’s also more than just an amazing cook, but he’s actually quite the gastronomist. He makes himself at home in the Altean kitchen, experimenting with unfamiliar ingredients and flavors until even the most foreign and incomprehensible alien food is palatable to Earthlings and aliens alike. He also redesigned a whole menu at a space mall food court kiosk and as a result, took business there through the roof, which is certainly one way to pay off an unpaid food bill! Food is just as scientific as anything else, only the experiments are a lot tastier!

Abilities & Inventory:
Hunk is physically a lot stronger than the average person, but not so strong that it reaches super-human levels. No nerfing required!
As far as his inventory, his most notable personal affect is his bayard. The yellow bayard has combat functions that 90s Saturday morning toy commercials could only dream of. It starts out compact and handheld, but it has the ability to transform into an energy gatling gun, a welding torch, and a mini turret launcher (it launches mini turrets that latch onto surfaces he aims at, basically multiplying his artillery by however many turrets he launches). This item is very powerful and can cause some serious damage, so I understand if it might need to be nerfed in a fight.

ARMADA SELECTION

Pladins
Hunk’s lawfully chaotic good nature would allow him to fit in very well as a Paladin, on top of the fact that he’s already a paladin back home. He doesn’t often cause trouble, and his caring nature makes him all about the protection of the innocent. If he sees some harmless mischief, he’s likely to look the other way. No crime, no punishment! Not that he hasn’t been dragged into his fair share of mischief himself.

Duplicity Application 2.0

2021-02-22T23:03:06Z

Name: Hunk Garrett
Door: Right (Previously Submissive)

Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Canon Point: Season 8, Episode 1

Age: 21 (CRAU; he originally arrived at age 19 and saw his 20th birthday in game. His 21st was a week ago!)
Appearance: a legit snacc.

History: All About Hunk

CRAU HistoryHunk has been in Duplicity since fall of 2019 and was given the submissive mark upon his arrival. He has continued to try to make the most out of his experience and was living in the down and volunteering as a cook at the Haven, but being dragged into participating in a turf war, forced, influenced and intoxicated into having sex with strangers, and being contracted to one of his best friends from home who he only discovered likes him through her jealousy of the girlfriend he managed to find, did their part to turn him into a bit more of a sourpuss. He found himself trying to cope with his own jealousy when his girlfriend was granted the presence of the boyfriend she had back home, although she insisted on continuing to love them both. When he's not doing well, he has a tendency to deflect his negative emotions by burying himself in work, which he managed to do by taking on two more jobs outside of the Haven. He started working as a cook at P.E.C.S, and followed that up with picking up a job as a mechanic in Kaylee's Serenity Garage. When he had been in Duplicity for a year and achieved citizenship status, it happened to coincide with some of the drama in his personal relationships coming to a head. Shortly after, his best friend and Dominant Pidge, vanished from the city, which ultimately left him and his co-sub Lance to be forced back to the Down, neither of them being too comfortable with jumping back into another contract so soon. To top it off, he'd been laid off from P.E.C.S, which seemed to go out of business ~~was removed from the locations page?~~ right around that time. It wasn't long after that when he found himself back home, safe and sound at the Galaxy Garrison again.

Personality: Hunk is a very kind and caring person who very rarely puts his own needs above his own. He is often referred to as the heart of Voltron, and is great at keeping team morale up. Princess Allura accurately matched Hunk to his sturdy, grounded yellow lion, stating that "The Yellow Lion is caring and kind. Its pilot is one who puts the needs of others above his own. His heart must be mighty. As the leg of Voltron, you will lift the team up and hold them together." Keith has even told Hunk "It's no secret that you've always been the most scared, but you never back down, ever."

Hunk is as generous as he is bulky, and his love language is basically feeding people. He sees sharing meals as the ultimate form of diplomacy and hospitality, and is a formidable chef in his own right. When his gluttony landed in hot water for taking too many "free" samples at a space mall without currency to pay for them, he got himself off the hook by taking over the kitchen and turning the food court into a veritable gourmet space eatery. In the prologue of the series, it's revealed that Hunk's cooking has united nations across galaxies. He believes that if we can't trust food, we're lost as a society.

In contrast to being the light of the team, Hunk is the most cautious. His caution can border on pessimism and doubt, although it’s primarily just realistic practicality. He's among the most realistic of the paladins of Voltron, and can be a bit high strung under heavily stressful situations. For this, he gets a bit of a reputation for being the scared one. It doesn’t help that he’s easily susceptible to motion sickness, with the only exception being when he’s piloting his own lion, to which he has a strong connection.

Hunk can also be a little too headstrong when it comes to something he’s extremely passionate about. When this happens, he can get tunnel vision and may even become unwittingly insensitive to those around him. While on a journey with Altean advisor Coran to a Balmera to retrieve resources for their ship, Hunk met the Balmerans, particularly a Balmeran girl named Shay, who he’d taken a liking to, and learned that her people were enslaved to harvest Balmera crystals for the Galra empire. He became incensed with their mistreatment, and although he had to leave, he promised Shay and her family that he would return with reinforcements to free them of the Galra stronghold. Once back on the Altean ship, Hunk continued to remind the rest of the crew that saving Shay and her people was a top priority. When they stopped on the way to investigate a stress signal (because Voltron defends the whole universe), he was uncharacteristically impatient with the side mission, particularly because he sensed ill intent from one rescuee in particular. When his intuition that the whole side mission was a trap came to fruition, Hunk was very vocal about the fact that he was right the whole time, and by then, the team had grown tired of his know-it-all attitude. The best thing to come of the situation was that it gave Hunk a sense of duty and purpose in being a paladin of Voltron, something he hadn’t quiet grasped before.

When Hunk is forced to do something his heart isn't in, particularly when there are little to no consequences for not complying, he will be flippant and half-ass it, especially if he's really tired, or really hungry. This is displayed when Keith and his mother Krolia woke the paladins up in the wee hours for simulation training; Hunk was the first to be knocked out of the simulation and he gave zero quiznacks, as he would much rather have been eating breakfast. However, when more is at stake, he takes things quite seriously.

In spite of everything, Hunk does have a humorous side. Although he got the name “Humorous Hunk” by means that were somewhat unfavorable in Hunk’s eyes, he is usually trying to lighten the mood for bored or annoyed paladins through puns, wordplay and sarcasm. He can often get one or two of the other paladins in on the fun, particularly with science jokes. He also has a bit of a mischievous streak. He and his fellow paladins Pidge and Lance spent a full day dicking around with a Galran robot sentry that Pidge had reprogrammed to have fun in its hard wiring. Their adventure ended when the sentry requested to ride an exploding missile into space.

Powers and Abilities: Hunk has no super-human powers in particular, but his brawn alludes to the fact that he is the most physically strong (human) paladin of Voltron. (Alteans are unsurprisingly stronger.)
As far as abilities, he’s analytical, observant, and very smart. With a knack for math, science, and mechanical engineering, he can easily figure out most machinery. He’s also an excellent chef, analyzing edible substances and flora from other planets and making gourmet meals out of them for the crew to enjoy.

Inventory: Hunk may only arrive with his Bayard, a powerful Altean weapon given to him to go along with the yellow lion. Normally the size of a handheld device, each paladin’s Bayard acts as a sort of power-up for their respective lion, and it also transforms into a weapon unique to the paladin’s abilities. Hunk’s Bayard transforms into a large, high-powered two-handed cannon. It later gains the ability to shoot turrets that mount into position and shoot enemies from different angles. (The Bayard may not need to be nerfed, because Hunk would never use it on innocent civilians or in places where people or properties could get hurt. He’s also the only one with the ability to use it, so if someone were to take it from him, it wouldn’t work.)

Samples: A little amnesia for the TDM

and

Prose

Hunk's eyes spring open and he shivers in the chilled air, the smallest headache rolling around at the base of his skull. After a sharp inhale, he slowly releases a sigh, feeling the slightest sense of deja vou.

Wanting to find something to warm up in, he slowly rises up on his elbows to get a better look at the dark, cold room he'd awakened in. As he does. so, his stomach turns, which only seems extraordinary because he hadn't just been hurling through space. It's a few more moments until he pushes himself all the way up and swings his feet onto the floor. Slow and steady wins the race, and at least the nausea isn't nearly as severe as he'd experienced a few times before. He takes a deep breath.

"It's not so bad, Hunk. You got this," he encourages himself, calming his bile. "Good thing I'm not wearing my helmet."

Finally upright, he notices the two doors, and the sense of deja vou he's feeling grows stronger. He feels eager, but not entirely sure what he's eager for. Perhaps it's just to get out of this room. The inscriptions on those doors gives him pause, though. Both seem extremely ominous, and he isn't quite sure what each one means, other than the messages themselves. Is one worth the other?

After a quick game of eenie meenie miney moe, he finally settles on a door: the one on the right.

IN CHARACTER

Character Name: Hunk Garrett
Canon: Voltron
Canon Point: Between the events of season 7 and season 8.

In-Game Tattoo Placement: He’ll have geometric antlers on his left shoulder blade.
Current Health/Status: None. He’s mostly recovered from being a bit banged up in Voltron’s battle with the mystery Altean mech, so the pain is mostly gone.
Age: 18
Species: Human

History: All About Hunk

CRAU History and Impact: Hunk has previously been in game, but was written by another player. So for all intents and purposes, he will be memory wiped as far as his interactions with other characters are concerned. He’ll know his canon mates, obviously, but will be none the wiser about what they’ve been through in game. I anticipate him being approached by characters who were familiar with his former self. Please bring on the “what do you mean you don’t remember?” and watch him try to cope with it!

Personality: Hunk is an amicable and friendly person when he encounters most people, and his first instinct when meeting new people is to attempt to make friends. However, he is an excellent judge of character and can usually sense when people are disingenuous or untrustworthy. If people are mean or rude to him, he's pretty thick-skinned, and he will leave that person be unless it's necessary to interact. As an example, fellow paladin Keith is often brooding, and Hunk acknowledges when the time comes to let him stew a bit, but he's always ready to offer Keith a hug or a delightful peace treat. Since he considers Keith a friend, any occasional hostility from him bounces off Hunk like a rubber ball, since he knows Keith is just having a high stress moment and will come around eventually.

Hunk is laid back and all smiles when he's most comfortable, although cautious and a little on edge in unfamiliar or dangerous scenarios. In spite of his humor (mostly dry sarcasm, but both he and fellow paladin Lance LOVE puns and wordplay), Hunk is surprisingly pragmatic and down-to-earth. His blunt observations may come off as humorous to some and obvious to others, but he just likes to verbalize things in order to rationalize them and break them down to solvable situations. He's among the most realistic of the paladins of Voltron, and in spite of being a bit high strung under heavily stressful situations, he somehow always manages to instill hope and camaraderie in his fellow paladins. Princess Allura accurately matched Hunk to his sturdy, grounded yellow lion, stating that "The Yellow Lion is caring and kind. Its pilot is one who puts the needs of others above his own. His heart must be mighty. As the leg of Voltron, you will lift the team up and hold them together." Keith has even told Hunk "It's no secret that you've always been the most scared, but you never back down, ever."

Hunk is as generous as he is bulky, and his love language is basically feeding people. He sees sharing meals as the ultimate form of diplomacy and hospitality, and is a formidable chef in his own right. When he landed in hot water for taking too many "free" samples at a space mall without currency to pay for them, he got himself off the hook by taking over the kitchen and turning the food court into a veritable gourmet space eatery. In the prologue of the series, it's revealed that Hunk's cooking has united nations across the galaxy. He believes that if we can't trust food, we're lost as a society. Speculation would suggest that his love for cooking came from preparing food with his mom and aunt, and he learned a healthy passion for mechanics and engineering from working on vehicles and machines with his dad. He is a family man who, despite realizing his duty to defend the galaxy, does get pretty homesick when he has the downtime.

When Hunk is forced to do something his heart isn't in, particularly when there are little to no consequences for not complying, he will half-ass it, especially if he's really tired, or really hungry. This is displayed when Keith and his mother Krolia woke the paladins up in the wee hours for simulation training; Hunk was the first to be knocked out of the simulation and he gave zero quiznaks, as he would much rather have been eating breakfast. However, when more is at stake, he takes things quite seriously.

Hunk is also keenly attuned to people's hardships and struggles. He hates seeing people suffer, and whether it's cracking a joke or baking a dessert to make someone smile, or taking on a Galra fleet to free an enslaved colony of Balmerans, Hunk has your back.
He's also aware of when people feel cast out because of their differences, probably because being a chonky brown boy isn't without its fair share of discrimination, but every time a group of Galra claim that they are on the side of Voltron, he's the first to put his best foot forward and hold them to it. When Keith was revealed to be half Galran, Hunk was the most curious about it, asking blunt and invasive questions even though being Galran was very new to Keith at the time. He even volunteered to go through intensive Galra training in order to better understand their race, and although he'd bitten off more than he could chew, he escaped with sore muscles and a better understanding and respect for the Galra culture.

Hunk's curiosity and inquisitiveness can be seen as mildly invasive to introspective people. In other words, if he's interested enough in something, he will snoop. When he's bored, he'll sometimes sneak and read Pidge's diary, familiarizing himself with her codes, formulas and mathematic equations, and he was very drawn to Pidge's home-made radio frequency communicator that she made at the Garrison, reaching out to touch it even after she'd repeatedly asked him to leave her equipment alone. He's learned not to do that as much in space though, since there's no telling what alien tech will spring to life and start firing.

Abilities/Powers/Weaknesses & Warping: N/A (He’s strong and sturdy by human standards, but not significantly stronger or sturdier than the physical capabilities of a large human.)

Inventory: Bayard, paladin armor, communication device from home, apron, paladin PJs.

Writing Samples: From the TDM

Original Sample

Hunk bolts upright, awakened from an unsettling sleep. That dream had seemed a little too real, and he reaches around to feel his back, half expecting to feel scratches and scrapes from jagged rocks and twigs. He feels nothing but his soft skin, most decidedly perfectly intact. It doesn’t hurt at all, but he could have sworn it was extremely uncomfortable just seconds ago.

“Huh.” It’s equal parts confusion as to the state of his pain and a sigh of relief that he’s not actually hurt.

As the sound of the music creeps into his consciousness, Hunk realizes that he does not recognize the room he’s in. Someone must have brought him here, so they must know what exactly is going on here.

“Um, hello?”

Whoever made sure he ended up here, hopefully they aren’t too far to get some answers from. As odd and terrifying as his dream had been, Hunk feels pretty well rested, perhaps because the bed he’s in is so soft. In spite of the comfort, Hunk removes the covers and swings his feet to the floor, taking in more of the view of the room as he stands.

On the bedside table he spots a cute, albeit large basket with a curved antler fashioned as its handle. The wicker of the basket seems to be dyed a mustard yellow with black and white and gray strands woven throughout. “Is this for me?” he asks no one in particular. Curious, he picks up the basket and sits back down on the edge of the bed, placing it next to him.

His stomach growls as if right on cue when he pulls a heavy mason jar out, filled with a fruity trail mix blend. Smiling, he twists open the lid and sticks his nose in, getting a delicious whiff of the dried cranberries, raisins, almonds, cashews and pumpkin seeds. He’s only mildly saddened that there are no chocolate pieces, but he sprinkles a small handful into his palm anyway and begins nibbling.

Aside form that jar of food, a small antler keychain, a really cool looking smartphone, and a letter, most everything else in the basket looks extremely familiar, and Hunk finds himself wondering how any of it got here. Things become clearer, yet more concerning once he reads the enclosed letter.

Are you comfortable with prominent elements of fourth-walling?: Sure!
What themes of horror/psychological thrillers do you enjoy the most?: I don’t actually get scared very often, but I do enjoy psychological thrillers more than straight horror. The realistic qualities of psychological thrillers make it scarier because it feels more possible IRL. But I do love a good old fashioned horror film regardless of the fantastical aspects, because they are a lot of fun. (Also, you can’t go wrong with practical effects over CGI.) As far as themes go, I enjoy when the threat encroaches on the every day space of the protagonist, rather than when the protagonist goes exploring and stumbles across something wicked just minding its own business.
Is there anything in particular you absolutely need specific content warnings for?: Nope. I’m pretty easygoing when it comes to most content.

History: All About Hunk

Personality: Hunk is a very kind and caring person who very rarely puts his own needs above his own. He is often referred to as the heart of Voltron, and is great at keeping team morale up. Princess Allura accurately matched Hunk to his sturdy, grounded yellow lion, stating that "The Yellow Lion is caring and kind. Its pilot is one who puts the needs of others above his own. His heart must be mighty. As the leg of Voltron, you will lift the team up and hold them together." Keith has even told Hunk "It's no secret that you've always been the most scared, but you never back down, ever."

Hunk is as generous as he is bulky, and his love language is basically feeding people. He sees sharing meals as the ultimate form of diplomacy and hospitality, and is a formidable chef in his own right. When his gluttony landed in hot water for taking too many "free" samples at a space mall without currency to pay for them, he got himself off the hook by taking over the kitchen and turning the food court into a veritable gourmet space eatery. In the prologue of the series, it's revealed that Hunk's cooking has united nations across galaxies. He believes that if we can't trust food, we're lost as a society.

In contrast to being the light of the team, Hunk is the most cautious. His caution can border on pessimism and doubt, although it’s primarily just realistic practicality.

While on a journey with Altean advisor Coran to a Balmera to retrieve resources for their ship, Hunk met the Balmerans, particularly a Balmeran girl named Shay, who he’d taken a liking to, and learned that her people were enslaved to harvest Balmera crystals for the Galra empire. He became incensed with their mistreatment, and although he had to leave, he promised Shay and her family that he would return with reinforcements to free them of the Galra stronghold. Once back on the Altean ship, Hunk continued to remind the rest of the crew that saving Shay and her people was a top priority. When they stopped on the way to investigate a stress signal (because Voltron defends the whole universe), he was uncharacteristically impatient with the side mission, particularly because he sensed ill intent from one rescuee in particular. When his intuition that the whole side mission was a trap came to fruition, Hunk was very vocal about the fact that he was right the whole time, and by then, the team had grown tired of his know-it-all attitude. The best thing to come of the situation was that it gave Hunk a sense of duty and purpose in being a paladin of Voltron, something he hadn’t quiet grasped before.

When Hunk is forced to do something his heart isn't in, particularly when there are little to no consequences for not complying, he will be flippant and half-ass it, especially if he's really tired, or really hungry. This is displayed when Keith and his mother Krolia woke the paladins up in the wee hours for simulation training; Hunk was the first to be knocked out of the simulation and he gave zero quiznacks, as he would much rather have been eating breakfast. However, when more is at stake, he takes things quite seriously.

In spite of everything, Hunk does have a humorous side. Although he got the name “Humorous Hunk” by means that were somewhat unfavorable in Hunk’s eyes, he is usually trying to lighten the mood for bored or annoyed paladins through puns, wordplay and sarcasm. He can often get one or two of the other paladins in on the fun, particularly with science jokes. He also has a bit of a mischievous streak. He and his fellow paladins Pidge and Lance spent a full day dicking around with a Galran robot sentry that Pidge had reprogrammed to have fun in its hard wiring. Their adventure ended when the sentry requested to ride an exploding missile into space.

Powers and Abilities: Hunk has no super-human powers in particular, but his brawn alludes to the fact that he is the most physically strong (human) paladin of Voltron. (Alteans are unsurprisingly stronger.)
As far as abilities, he’s analytical, observant, and very smart. With a knack for math, science, and mechanical engineering, he can easily figure out most machinery. He’s also an excellent chef, analyzing edible substances and flora from other planets and making gourmet meals out of them for the crew to enjoy.

Inventory: Hunk may only arrive with his Bayard, a powerful Altean weapon given to him to go along with the yellow lion. Normally the size of a handheld device, each paladin’s Bayard acts as a sort of power-up for their respective lion, and it also transforms into a weapon unique to the paladin’s abilities. Hunk’s Bayard transforms into a large, high-powered two-handed cannon. It later gains the ability to shoot turrets that mount into position and shoot enemies from different angles. (The Bayard may not need to be nerfed, because Hunk would never use it on innocent civilians or in places where people or properties could get hurt. He’s also the only one with the ability to use it, so if someone were to take it from him, it wouldn’t work.)

Log format:
Cold air seems to penetrate brown skin, normally radiating warmth, and Hunk’s brown eyes spring open with a start. He gasps, filling his lungs with cold air, and in a split second realizes he doesn’t remember actually being asleep. Had he been unconscious?

As he begins regaining control of his senses, Hunk sits up a little too quickly. His head starts swimming in a spinning room and his stomach drops, and suddenly it feels an awful lot like being in a spacecraft with Lance at the helm. “Ohh no… Hng—“ A wave of nausea crashes over him and he clasps a hand over his mouth, squeezing his eyes shut to will away the bile threatening to burn at his esophagus. His free hand reaches for the nearest surface and he’s mildly pleased to find that it’s something soft to grip. He swallows a handful of times, slowing his breathing until the nausea passes.

Remembering just a moment of sepia before fighting back whatever meal it was he last ate, Hunk’s chocolate eyes pry themselves open one at a time. A part of him is afraid that if he opens them, the nausea might come back. He’d never know whether or not the room was actually spinning. One sliver at a time, he realizes that the room isn’t completely dark, but dimly lit. A yellowish light, if he could even call it that, is noticeable in the far corner of the room, otherwise empty aside from what he had been laying on. His gripping hand relaxes, and he looks down at a stiff cot, solid even under his weight.

Finally certain that his stomach had calmed down, Hunk releases a heavy sigh. The room is unfamiliar, yet at the same time reminds him of being locked in a holding cell aboard a Galra fleet ship.

“Wh… where am I?”

He speaks quietly so as not to alert anything nearby that might kill him, although he is grateful to hear the sound of his own voice. He’s alone, and in a strange new environment, it worries him that he has no way to communicate with the other paladins. He looks around for his Bayard, his armor, his boots, something that belonged to him, but there’s nothing, and he becomes keenly aware of the fact that his clothes are gone, replaced with a thin, white paper gown. Hunk can still feel a faint dizziness spinning around the base of his skull, and carefully he places one foot on the chilly floor, then the other, cautious not to reawaken the vomit beast.

The dim glow had outlined a door, but Hunk looks once more and notices a second one. He stands, wobbling a bit before firmly planting both bare feet, and makes his way to the doors. One left and one right. As he steps closer, he notices writing on each, that seems to ebb and flow and change. He has no real sense of urgency as of now to select one, although his discomfort grows as cold air on more of his skin than he’s used to is reminding him of just how exposed he is. After a quick and silent game of eenie meenie miney moe in his head, Hunk reaches for a doorknob, praying that it isn’t locked.

But it glides right open.

[An intense gaze can be seen in the video feed briefly before giving way to a satisfied smile.]

Ok, that was easy enough.
Hey! Uh, cool city and everything; really liking the whole above-ground, underground layout you got going on, but I’m not sure I get the whole… [He pauses, resting a nervous hand behind the nape of his neck, and if you’re looking for it, you might notice the mark on his neck.] dominant-submissive part…?

[He understands it perfectly, but he’s not quite sure where his comfort level is.] So uh, if anyone has any more nuanced info about this place, I’m all ears.

[He goes to end the transition, but stops, remembering one last very important question.]

Oh yeah! Does anyone know where to get a decent meal around here? The cafeteria food is… kinda meh.

CHARACTER

NAME: Hunk
AGE: 18
CANON & CANON POINT: Hunk is from the series Voltron: Legendary Defender. He will be taken from early to mid season 8 after defending the earth from the invading Galra forces and returning to space to get some questions answered.
RESERVATION LINK: HERE.
HISTORY: All About Hunk

PERSONALITY: Hunk is an amicable and friendly person when he encounters most people, and his first instinct when meeting new people is to attempt to make friends. However, he is an excellent judge of character and can usually sense when people are disingenuous or untrustworthy. If people are mean or rude to him, he's pretty thick-skinned, and he will leave that person be unless it's necessary to interact. As an example, fellow paladin Keith is often brooding, and Hunk acknowledges when the time comes to let him stew a bit, but he's always ready to offer Keith a hug or a delightful peace treat. Since he considers Keith a friend, any occasional hostility from him bounces off Hunk like a rubber ball, since he knows Keith is just having a high stress moment and will come around eventually.

Hunk is laid back and all smiles when he's most comfortable, although cautious and a little on edge in unfamiliar or dangerous scenarios. In spite of his humor (mostly dry sarcasm, but both he and fellow paladin Lance LOVE puns and wordplay), Hunk is surprisingly pragmatic and down-to-earth. His blunt observations may come off as humorous to some and obvious to others, but he just likes to verbalize things in order to rationalize them and break them down to solvable situations. He's among the most realistic of the paladins of Voltron, and in spite of being a bit high strung under heavily stressful situations, he somehow always manages to instill hope and camaraderie in his fellow paladins. Princess Allura accurately matched Hunk to his sturdy, grounded yellow lion, stating that "The Yellow Lion is caring and kind. Its pilot is one who puts the needs of others above his own. His heart must be mighty. As the leg of Voltron, you will lift the team up and hold them together." Keith has even told Hunk "It's no secret that you've always been the most scared, but you never back down, ever."

Hunk is as generous as he is bulky, and his love language is basically feeding people. He sees sharing meals as the ultimate form of diplomacy and hospitality, and is a formidable chef in his own right. When he landed in hot water for taking too many "free" samples at a space mall without currency to pay for them, he got himself off the hook by taking over the kitchen and turning the food court into a veritable gourmet space eatery. In the prologue of the series, it's revealed that Hunk's cooking has united nations across the galaxy. He believes that if we can't trust food, we're lost as a society. Speculation would suggest that his love for cooking came from preparing food with his mom and aunt, and he learned a healthy passion for mechanics and engineering from working on vehicles and machines with his dad. He is a family man who, despite realizing his duty to defend the galaxy, does get pretty homesick when he has the downtime.

When Hunk is forced to do something his heart isn't in, particularly when there are little to no consequences for not complying, he will half-ass it, especially if he's really tired, or really hungry. This is displayed when Keith and his mother Krolia woke the paladins up in the wee hours for simulation training; Hunk was the first to be knocked out of the simulation and he gave zero quiznacks, as he would much rather have been eating breakfast. However, when more is at stake, he takes things quite seriously.

Hunk is also keenly attuned to people's hardships and struggles. He hates seeing people suffer, and whether it's cracking a joke or baking a dessert to make someone smile, or taking on a Galra fleet to free an enslaved colony of Balmerans, Hunk has your back.
He's also aware of when people feel cast out because of their differences, probably because being a chonky brown boy isn't without its fair share of discrimination, but every time a group of Galra claim that they are on the side of Voltron, he's the first to put his best foot forward and hold them to it. When Keith was revealed to be half Galran, Hunk was the most curious about it, asking blunt and invasive questions even though being Galran was very new to Keith at the time. He even volunteered to go through intensive Galra training in order to better understand their race, and although he'd bitten off more than he could chew, he escaped with sore muscles and a better understanding and respect for the Galra culture.

Hunk's curiosity and inquisitiveness can be seen as mildly invasive to introspective people. In other words, if he's interested enough in something, he will snoop. When he's bored, he'll sometimes sneak and read Pidge's diary, familiarizing himself with her codes, formulas and mathematic equations, and he was very drawn to Pidge's home-made radio frequency communicator that she made at the Garrison, reaching out to touch it even after she'd repeatedly asked him to leave her equipment alone. He's learned not to do that as much in space though, since there's no telling what alien tech will spring to life and start firing.

ABILITIES/SKILLS: -Physical Strength: He’s always been naturally strong
-Tech savvy/Mechanical: Learned technical skill. Will examine most new or unfamiliar machinery.
-Culinary: learned technical skill. He cooks when there is no food/bad food, providing he has the resources. Will also stress cook.
-Hand-to-hand combat: learned technical skill. Honed in space aboard the castle of lions.
-Pilot: learned technical skill. Began learning as a cadet at the Garrison, although he was mechanical engineering class. Honed in space flying the yellow lion of Voltron.
-Cannon wielding: Learned technical skill. Honed in space. Uses his Bayard when in battle.

INVENTORY/COMPANIONS: -Bayard: weapon of Voltron. Initially smaller than a dinner plate, the Bayard transforms into a handheld canon that fires strong energy blasts.
-Paladin armor: He’ll likely be wearing this when he arrives.
Companions: None

FACTION CHOICE: The Moon Temple

REASON: Hunk is very logical and technical, and is the most realistic of the paladins of Voltron. His logic helps to keep his team grounded and reminds them of how to work within the limits of their situation. He’s very observant and relies on what he knows to get results. He’s a great communicator, always sure to let you know what he’s thinking. He’s also quite diplomatic, easily able to tap into people’s good nature. He’s very proactive when it comes to learning about machines and tech, and is easily able to analyze something that needs maintenance or repair.

TATTOO: On his left upper shoulder blade, right on the meaty part of his trapezius, he’ll have a waxing gibbous.

SAMPLES

NETWORK:
(Written sample)
[Hunk peers into the camera of the communication device he’d been given upon arrival. There’s worry in his furrowed brow, but he sounds more calm than he feels.]

Okay, communication! That’s a start…

[He huffs, readying himself to get a message to… whoever’s out there.]

I got here alone, but I need to find out if my friends made it here, too. I’m pretty sure Keith and Shiro are here somewhere, but… Lance. Pidge. Allura. If you guys are here, please say something.

[His eyes start to dart just a tad as he looks from the camera lens to other parts of the device, hoping to see a notification of some kind.]

LOG: Here!

NOTES, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS: Could Hunk’s lion be considered a large companion requested as a regain, even though it’s technically a space ship he shares a psychic connection with? It’s really big .
