Season 21, Week 1
Duke
(Suikoden III)
 
The rough-and-tumble life of a mercenary, fun though it is, doesn't always pull in the money a man needs to survive, much less live the good life, which is why Duke has come to the DL to seek his fame and fortune. You have to be both skilled and lucky to survive as long as he has as a fighter for hire, something which will come in handy in this match. Since his opponent's special rely on pure luck, he'll need it in spades. Of course, it may have been used up (or stored up!) just hanging out with dog-faced Elaine, but one can never know. He may just have the edge he needs to win.

The robotic cat-moogle thing is back! While both he and his weapon of choice are rather odd, don't let that trick you into thinking he's a pansy! Cait Sith is cool and awesome and unique, and opponent Duke is the epitome of cliché. He's the far-superior hero's daunting, hateful rival who eventually submits to the good guys...yawn! Cait also destroys him on the battlefield: a little bit of Cait's MIND CONTROL should suffice there, and he can always make turn him into a super-cute Mini-Duke. And he could hug him for ever and ever...or just kill him and end the humiliation.

The RPGDL Times found out recently, from a very reliable, albeit insane source, that Cait Sith wasn't a creature of science, but a wonder of magic. Apparently, Reeve, former Shinra employee and the mind behind the seering kitty, has a supernatural power that breathes life into non-living objects and such. And Reeve also can control those creatures wherever he may be.

To the shock of many, however, Reeve was in a rather feisty mood these days. Cait's match against Duke was unsurprisingly short: the cat miniaturizes the old, pathetic mercenary, game, set, match. What happened after that, though... Cait Sith just took the merc onto his hands, a mishievous look in his eyes. And, at night, the screeches of pain from Duke were nothing but a pale tint.

Now. Duke is known as a scantily dressed, heavily packed on make-up mini blow-up doll called Fiorina, who sings "The Birdcage"'s theme song to hapless onlookers outside Zalbard's apartment window in the Shining Force headquarters.

Reeve must be sitting at home and laughing his heart out right now.
