.+.Then.+.
Duo was orphaned at a young age and ran with a group of orphans organised by the eldest, called Solo. Solo and Duo were the best of friends but when a plague swept throught the colony, it ripped them apart. As Solo was slowly dieing from this awful disease and Duo went out to steal the medicine but he was too late. After he had died, Duo had promised that they would always be together and so he named himself Duo. He decided that he would help take care of the younger ones, stealing on their behalf untill he was caught and taken to Father Maxwell, the priest that ran Maxwell Church. Father Maxwell saw potential in Duo that no one else had recognised and Sister Helen gave Duo the tell-tale brand mark of his braided hair as he wouldn't let her cut it, so she taught him how to braid it and make it look tidier he kept it as a braid in her memory. Father Maxwell was an important figure in Duo's life as they had mutual respect for each other. He had died along with most of Duo's friends and the people of Maxweel Church in a massacre in which Duo was the only surviver. The massacre was the consequence of colonial rebels taking refuge at the church from Federation troops. Father Maxwell asked them to leave but they wouldn't unless someone stole a mobile suit for them. Father Maxwell was against this but Duo rose to the challenge. Maxwell let him go, fearing for the safety of the church. Duo managed to get the mobile suit but when he returned, the church was demolished. Duo kept Father Maxwell's cross to remember him by and he kept the attire of the church (ie. the black shirt, trousers and the priest's collar) to remind himself of them. He then ran away sneeking onto a Sweepers ship and this is how he met Dr.G, Who told Duo to steal DeathScythe instead of attempting to blow it up.
After he carried out operation meteor Duo decided to go back to his old friend Hilde who he met through the mission which was to destroy oz and stop an already impending war, now it was over he felt a time to relax like the other pilots and got into the scavenging business where he baught and sold of scrap. Peace wasnt always maintained though some people refused to accept the talk of others about pascifism and started mini riots which were often dispelled after a few days, some took longer and were more violent. Duo was to go out there was a shuttle that crashed into a resource satelite and he thought it was a good opportunity to get some decent metal to sell, ignoring Hilde's warnings as the rebels had taken to that area and she insisted the shuttle was destroyed on purpose, paying no heed he set of to point 56 L 7 . Unknown it was a trap set to capture him , the shuttle he was aboad was fired upon by enemy mobile suits out numbered and out manuvered he cursed not being able to self detonate or do anything and agreed to terms to be boarded and taken hostage. The information about his indentity was supposed to be delted long ago but for some reason maybe a back up was made they discovered him , after beating Duo unconscience and throwing him in a cell bloody and broken, they ransomned him off along with another captor a certain blonde arabian who to was captured. Duo was still blacked out at the time all he could here was the repeative cries of the blonde arabian as he called out his name, everything seemed blank body frozen up in pain he just fell back asleep to torn to care, the next time he opened his eyes he was in another cell but this one was smaller with only one very small window reinforced by barbed wire and double bars , groaning in agony the ex pilot lay against the cold wall and sat for a long time waiting if ever for his body to heal. It was sometime later till a guard arrived and threw him a cup of water which went everywhere, growling something under his breath Duo managed to lick up what water he could get before slumping back down to listen to pitiful cries in the next cell as that ocupant to had probably been assulted and given minscule amounts of water to drink.
What seemed like years 9 months had past and he was nothing but skin and bone, the sounds of a lock turning caught his attention and what little effort summoned he hauled against the door peering through as a few men dragged the blonde
outside the cell speaking in almost whispers "this ones dead..what shall we do with him?" the other guy poked the body a bit with his foot "get it out of here before it begins to stink" first man nodded and dragged the corpse away. Sliding
back down the door he began to convulse again a hand moves up to shield his mouth as splatters of blood appear on his palm when its pulled away ( great im going to die here..). Mind wondered and he worsened not sleeping at all not even scrambling around
for what little food and water was thrown at him he couldnt even remeber his friends especially the one who spent all his time crying and screaming ..he died a horrible death and im still alive for how long was his final thought before slipping back into the
dark void of his mind.
There was nothing left no energy he sat slumped over brown bangs that once shined in any light hung dead bloody and dirty over emotionless blue orbs which had no spark or anything that registered his existance only the shallow breaths and the quick rise of the
chest actually reminded others he was still alive, 2 men over hung the door way " he's still alive its amazing.." one man said looking the young male over " no..he's already dead" the other replied sadly as they openned the door, " c'mon son lets be rid of
your misery" they dragged him along a hallway head hung over the arms supporting him coughing more blood up in the process, walking into an open courtyard the midnight moon shimmered down illuminating a spot in the corner where the walls were plastered in
blood and gun shot holes , some men teased "eh about time you went kid" , " ahh look he's already wasted damn shame , "this is a so called gundam pilot" they laughed he ignored them after all his mind was gone . Propping him against a wooden pole and tying both
hands , " lets get this other with before they find us" the captain yelled out readying the escape vehicle. The gunman twitched he wasnt so adament about wasting a kid in the end this man was thrown aside as the captain stepped up and aimed for his head, in that instant
moment Duo saw them all then black , darkness where he falled , slowly his body broke from underneath him and he slide down the pole screams of men and gun shots started to blur out , from within his palms where it lay for a long time the small cross rolled out and lay a few meters
from where he lay . "he's dead.." .."damn shame..he's just a kid.." , " get a stretcher over here...check the cells see if anyone is alive" .
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along.
.+.Now.+.
There isnt much known about Duo since he himself has no clear memories of the past, feeling like he was reborn into this world after his life was taken unexpectantly which
thrown the soul devoid of any memories into a darkness where both sides conetemplated where to send him to.
It was Fuuma who decided to send Duo to heaven after bargining with the dark lord himself to allow the one who calls himself "the god of death" to gather more souls for shinigami
since a lot of hapless victums from all area's wre already slaughtered by him the dark lord agreed and took these souls collected as payment.
Duo himself is evil there is no right or wrong in his eyes anymore after being pulled from one realm to another both sides are in an endless combat with one another hence his demonic
side which only appears when provoked since his natural form is more used than the others it is very rare he should even use the angel side of him.
It is once thought that Fuuma being as munipulative as he was saw Duo as a likely subject for his torment another psychotic toy to play with after all Duo had been surrounded by so much
death and destruction , it was a wonder he never went all out although all to often his insane side tends to appear at the slightest notion after some smiting he usually calms down or goes back to
harming himself.
Duo is usually a firm and cheerful person opne hearted and to open minded with the tendancy to go of his rockers. Normally found laying near his Gundam or in a dark spot,he carries a huge scythe, where it is kept when not in use has plagued the minds of many people. He states plainly that the god of death wouldnt be so without and appropriate weapon. The scythe he uses comes in 2 forms the first more common than the second, the first being a plain metal pole with a huge arched piece of bladed metal at the tip the other has a beam tip. The beam Scythe burns out from the very tip of the blade and can be adjusted to any heat setting and any angle it is far more lighter than its counter part and its used mainly on insane rampages, the beam itself can slice through any man made metal it is often than opponents end up having there weapons cut clean in half by this scythe.
