Duke may not remember who he once was, but the virtues and values still remain there in the choices he makes and where he stands on his own ground. In his heart of hearts, he is still a Royal Knight and will still do whatever it takes to protect others; So long he is right of mind. Because while he believes in doing what is right, being knocked back to his prior forms and having to deal with the "growth pains" again, represents a conflict in his own personality.
 +
 
 +
While he will fight for others, stand his ground, and never surrender until he can't move-- he has a predatory nature that lingers as Guilmon X and Growmon X. This predatory nature can cause him to fall into moments of rage, losing all sense of self during that time and causing him to lash out as a berserker, with only his friends and those he trusts maybe being the guiding force to bring him back. Though prone to this state of mind, he is less to fall into it as Wargrowlmon X and can completely avoid it as an Ultimate. Yet unless he can reach those two higher forms, this state can be triggered by heavy aggression and tense moments during combat.
 +
 
 +
When he becomes enraged by the acts of others, one of his friends becomes heavily injured, or when he is pushed into a corner is other forms of triggers into this berserker state. Though when he comes out of it. He tends to come out of it, he normally doesn't remember what he has done and when he does start to remember the events, he tends to become very disconnected for a few days. Hiding away in fear that he could do it again, until someone can bring him back out with some comfort.
 +
 
 +
As Duke doesn't want to hurt others and he doesn't believe in truly harming anyone. Yes, he'll fight and yes, he'll pick fights to get stronger, but to kill-- to cause needless destruction? That is something he can not do or stand by. Though if he is forced into battle and the other is willing to kill, willing to harm innocents on the field of battle--- He will take proper action. That is when he will throw away the avoidance of harm and give it everything he has; Even if it means killing them.
 +
 
 +
He will also kill knowingly if someone has injured one of his friends or harmed an innocent. Though in his higher up forms, to becoming a Ultimate, he is more prone to show mercy. Hold back from the killing blow and just make sure to scare them enough so they think twice about doing it again. Perhaps this because as he "grows up", he becomes able to think more clearly and isn't blinded by primal actions and virus attribute traits. Becoming more and more like the Royal Knight he once was.
 +
 
 +
It can even be easily seen really, if someone observes him as he moves between the forms. How as a "Child" he starts out so, well, childish and very confused where some lines are crossed. Then as an "Adult", he shows more aggressive side, the more Virus Attribute traits and far more willing to fight for the sake of fighting. Yet then as a "Perfect", he is more refined, better at talking and a bit more reasonable to deal with. Then it is when he is in his "Ultimate" form, is he truly the Royal Knight. Able to shove away all the aggressive thoughts, primal notions, and focus everything into true cohesion, logic, and not let his emotions fully get the better of him.
 +
 
 +
Though like any grown man, he can still become angry in his Ultimate form, yes. He still has a great deal of emotions-- as he is a passionate Digimon-- but he isn't going to lose control nor will he be so easily tricked by gestures of others. Able to see clearly and reason just as clearly about things.
 +
 
 +
Duke is also very protective of those close to him. He will stand by there side-- no matter what and no matter the cost. He will do whatever it takes to be there for them and help them in matters. Even if he doesn't always fully understand it. This means that poor Duke can be taken advantage of by the right people while he is in his "Child" state, even as an "Adult", because of his inability to reason things out and see clearly what they may be trying to do.
 +
 
 +
Though when he is betrayed, he also doesn't forget it either-- nor does he forgive easily those who trick him. Easily upset by such behavior of betrayal, and yet-- he can forgive others. Perhaps if he can see where they too were mislead or lost. Such as with Omegamon-- if he could remember the events fully and when he does, he'll forgive him. In some ways, he already did even when Omegamon laid in the final blow that day; He forgave him. Why? Because he knew Omegamon was carrying out orders of another.
 +
 
 +
Now as Yggdrasil goes-- Duke has not forgiven the govern force. Deep inside he is internally angry at the 'god'. Knowing fully well, inside, that this is all Yggdrasil's fault. Everything. The fall of the Digital World, the tearing up of families, friends-- everything. Though Duke in his current state may not understand why Yggdrasil's name angers him. One day though, one day he will remember and he may even plot out a way to make Yggdrasil pay.
 +
 
 +
For while Duke may be a Royal Knight and while he can have trouble forgiving, but eventually can forgive-- he will not stand by idly when something like Yggdrasil, or any force-- just lays waste to things for what seems to be illogical reasoning. When others are hurt in this manner, even those he may not know well-- he will avenge them and avenge them to the very death if he has too.
 +
 
 +
it is also all these hidden feelings that surface that can cause Duke also some frustration as well. These unawares to why he feels the way he does and why some of the things make him angry. His amnesia frustrates him and is perhaps one of the driving forces to why he does what he does. He wants badly to remember, to put together the puzzle pieces so he can be 'whole' again. Be truly /himself/.
 +
 
 +
Yet sometimes to him, it feels like no matter how much he digs, the more things seem to be confusing and don't make sense. Leading him to moments of internal turmoil and inner frustrations that he may take out on someone, then swiftly apologize once he does. It is also this very reason he does fight. Not only to get stronger, but because in fighting-- he finds himself with a sense of purpose. A sense that maybe in battle he can figure things out better-- as it is battle that feels right.
 +
 
 +
That and a good fight, even if a spar, allows him to let out some of those frustrations and anxieties out, so he doesn't blow up on someone and he doesn't accidentally injure someone in a moment of anger. As talking does little good, because talking only leads to more frustration. After all, what is the point of talking about something when you can't even remember the details.
 +
 
 +
He knows that this is something he'll have to solve on his own and he knows one day-- one day he will solve it. It will just, well, take time.
 +
 
 +
Yet sometimes patience is hard for him as a "Child" and easier to come by as an "Ultimate". He has trouble just sitting around as a "Child" and twiddling his 'thumbs' as it were. He also has trouble as a "Child", keeping his nose out of things and tends to find trouble-- or trouble finds him. Much like his best friend Duran, whom he is extremely protective of.
 +
 
 +
Though as he does follow Duran's steps-- sometimes even getting himself lost while trying to figure where Duran ran off too. He has come to have a great curiosity for the Multiverse. He likes to see if he can learn more about the people, spar fight the people, and even manage to find ways to get himself into trouble.
 +
 
 +
He doesn't really understand the way between the Union and the Confederacy. Though he does equate it to something like the war between the Royal Knights and the Demon Lords-- or even with the Exiles. As a "Perfect" he does fully understand the concept of the war and yet, he finds no real reason to take part.
 +
 
 +
Though if he does make friends with one side or the other; Perhaps both; he may find himself being swept up into the war and taking part /only/ to support his 'friends'. Though as for the Confederacy side. They will need to hide their objectives well, if they desire to keep him-- as Duke would not agree with some of the Confederates standards of operations. Where he probably lean more toward the Union side of the fence.
 +
 
 +
Yet, friends are friends-- and that is something Duke doesn't have much of these days. Something he does want to amend, as much has his memory, and he wants to try to find the Exiles a new home-- a safe home. A home while they can all live in peace, instead of always feeling like they are on the run. To achieve this, perhaps, he is even to take some drastic measures-- if he is ever pushed that far. Though hopefully that day, will never come any time soon.

Profile

Once a Royal Knight of Yggdrasil, Dukemon opposed Omegamon when he could no longer stand by the orders to kill off innocent Digimon. The price for his mutiny was death by his old friend's hand. Though left to die, fate had other plans for him. Dukemon, given a second chance at life, is now known as "Duke" -- one of the Exiled Digimon with the X-Antibody. The second chance at life has left him in a lesser "child" form known as Guilmon X, with his memories scattered of who and what he once was. Duke now strives to not only remember his past, but to become strong enough to defend his friends and allies. As a Digimon, he has the ability to Digivolve, or transform, into far stronger forms -- Growlmon X, and Wargrowlmon X -- each with their own strengths, sizes, and capabilities. When faced though with unbeatable odds and the life of those in danger, Duke is also able to Digivolve to Medieval Dukemon, his most powerful known form, yet one he can't keep for long. A problem he plans to amend one day when he has enough strength to permanently stay in any of his forms. For now, he'll keep training, keep getting stronger, and keep looking to the future.

Personality

Duke may not remember who he once was, but the virtues and values still remain there in the choices he makes and where he stands on his own ground. In his heart of hearts, he is still a Royal Knight and will still do whatever it takes to protect others; So long he is right of mind. Because while he believes in doing what is right, being knocked back to his prior forms and having to deal with the "growth pains" again, represents a conflict in his own personality.

While he will fight for others, stand his ground, and never surrender until he can't move-- he has a predatory nature that lingers as Guilmon X and Growmon X. This predatory nature can cause him to fall into moments of rage, losing all sense of self during that time and causing him to lash out as a berserker, with only his friends and those he trusts maybe being the guiding force to bring him back. Though prone to this state of mind, he is less to fall into it as Wargrowlmon X and can completely avoid it as an Ultimate. Yet unless he can reach those two higher forms, this state can be triggered by heavy aggression and tense moments during combat.

When he becomes enraged by the acts of others, one of his friends becomes heavily injured, or when he is pushed into a corner is other forms of triggers into this berserker state. Though when he comes out of it. He tends to come out of it, he normally doesn't remember what he has done and when he does start to remember the events, he tends to become very disconnected for a few days. Hiding away in fear that he could do it again, until someone can bring him back out with some comfort.

As Duke doesn't want to hurt others and he doesn't believe in truly harming anyone. Yes, he'll fight and yes, he'll pick fights to get stronger, but to kill-- to cause needless destruction? That is something he can not do or stand by. Though if he is forced into battle and the other is willing to kill, willing to harm innocents on the field of battle--- He will take proper action.
