Personality Duo generally comes off as a bright, cheerful individual, he always tries to be friendly and help out his friends. Most of the time he’s a very likeable person, smiling, joking, goofy and he doesn’t seem like he has a care in the world. He never comes off as stupid, but very few would suspect that there’s a keen mind and a skilled fighter behind the relaxed, friendly demeanor. He takes his work as one of the soldiers seriously, even while coming off as flippant and carefree. People tend to like him or be annoyed by his happy demeanor, but neither reaction seems to bother him, and he has a tendency to pay more attention to someone if they try to brush him off, though whether if this is to try and make friends or just because he likes bugging them is hard to tell. That having been said he has a snarky sarcastic streak a mile wide and doesn’t shrink from telling people exactly what he’s thinking, or when he thinks they've done something stupid.
He doesn't have a lot of trust in authority or organized military, or in anyone other than himself, but his trust can be earned if you're willing to try. Even if he doesn't trust you he's not likely to show it very much, everyone tends to get the same Duo whether he hates you or likes you unless it's some pretty extreme hate. While he doesn't seem to like fighting in particular Duo does enjoy his job more than would seem strictly healthy for even a semi-normal 15 year old boy. He seems to think nothing of killing other soldiers, but draws the line at needlessly killing civilians. He is supposed to be one of the good guys after all, even if he shamelessly admits to being a killer and a terrorist when asked. He seems reasonably comfortable with the dichotomy, though whether that's another layer of carefree persona or true is hard to say.
Other than that he's just a normal teenage boy. Or at least he can look and act like one. He's friendly and open and seems to make friends easily, even if it takes a bit of work to get to be what he really considers a friend. But once he does he's remarkably loyal, coming to the aid of friends or comrades without a second thought, even if he does protest.
Duo is highly adaptable, taking change in stride and rolling with whatever punches life throws at him. If it is an especially major change he might talk to someone he trusts about it, but if that someone isn't around he internalizes whatever issues he might have and moves on. He hasn't exploded (yet) but it would take a lot of stress for that to happen.
Powers/Abilities CANON: Nothing supernatural, but Duo is a good shot, skilled with demolitions, a capable engineer and a skilled pilot as well as being in excellent physical condition and is a bit stronger than you would guess from his thin frame.
Powers/Abilities AU: No powers, so no reduction
