Dislocate your spine
"If you don't sign," he says. "I'll have you seeing double."
Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied
Simply with those eyes
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise.

Don't look back.
It's a rip off.

Flick of the wrist
And you're dead, baby
Blow him a kiss
And you're mad
Flick of the wrist, he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs, and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time, honey
Baby, you've been had.

Intoxicate your brain
With what I'm saying
If not, you'll lie in knee deep trouble.

"Prostitute yourself," he says. "Castrate your human pride. Sacrifice your leisure days, let me squeeze you 'till you've dried."

I remember once... when we were getting ready to go our seperate ways after a final farewell... the sun was setting.

Big surprise. I never really took the time to watch a sunset, though. It made the view that was splayed out for us so... beautiful. It looked like a giant painting of reds and oranges and golds and the majestic blue of the sky. Even I had to stop for a second to just look. I hadn't felt such contentment since the war ended...

...but...

...things were never so simple, to him. Everything had a complication, everything had a challenge. He built a wall around himself. A great, indestructable wall of honor, dignity, and justice that kept him secluded from the elements of fear and uncertainty. He was like a stone.

He always reminded me of stone.

In the complicated beauty and serenity of our view, I'm sure all Heero saw was a sky, and a lot of trees. He never really cared enough to see it any other way.

Sometimes I think his thoughts were more profound than he led everyone else to believe. He told me, right to my face, that he found it mildly surprising that something so bright and cheerful in the daytime, could become something very dark, mysterious, and eerie by nightfall.

Then again, some people were the same way. I think it almost reminded him of...

...well... me.

Duo Maxwell.

IC - Duo
Every roleplayer has something different about their Duo's style. I, as the mun, didn't change much about him, but I've added my own little twists.
Let me tell you a little about my Shinigami, here.
Duo is not an eccentric dolt. Duo is intelligent, strong, determined, and holds deep honor for what he does. I can't stand it when people automatically assume that Duo is this big, happy, bouncy idiot with no common sense and the power to annoy the hell out of everyone. He's happy, his sarcasm is borderline dangerous, and yes, sometimes he will purposely try to annoy something out of someone. But he also has those inner demons. I'm going to tell you now, that those inner demons may make for some pretty serious moments.
Duo has more to complain about than he leads people to believe. He still has trouble accepting what happened to the Maxwell Church and what happened with the plague. He's prone to rather long inner monologues that allow the one reading about him to better understand him, and where he's coming from. He also thinks about Solo a LOT, and gets most of his influence [outside battle and sometimes in] from his memories of him.
Duo acts on his emotions, a lesson well-learned from Heero Yuy. He can easily get frustrated, defensive, and overall emotional.
Generally, although Duo may be thinking a bit too much on the inside, he is outwardly easygoing, charming, and a joker. However, in the midst of a battle or fight, his personality tends to morph drastically, leaving Duo Maxwell behind and letting the ever-infamous Shinigami in him rise up. These are the times when he can get rather frightening in his deadly accuracy, and his macabre nonchalance with what he's doing, regardless of whether or not it's threatening or taking another's life.
I am willing to RP this Duo in AU storylines with various GW characters (minus Relena, because frankly, I really, really, really, really don't like her. Actually, I'd like her to disappear off the face of the animeverse. I don't want my Duo associated with her. The end.) and original characters... however, I'm not - and never will be - willing to break out of the huge post-Endless Waltz I'm situated in. The Heero I play with and myself are no longer interested in including any more characters in this SL, but anyone who wants to watch quietly is welcome. Quietly being the keyword. No OOC chatting once you enter the chat... there's no need, because we saw you enter. We appreciate the obediance.
I RP two other Duos, though this website revolves around the more serious one. One is in progress, the other is a firey, spicey vampire Duo who loves to pull pranks and is currently in the process of seducing one Dr. Heero Yuy, ER surgeon. Find at BrokenAngeis@aol.com. Capitalize the 'i', and it makes more sense.

Relationships
Yaoi. Shounen-ai. O how I love thee.
This Duo is very happily taken. Well, just about. The storyline is slow-paced, serious, overflowing with more drama, angst, and inner torment than you can shake a stick at. However, it's gradually growing to evolve the relationship between Duo Maxwell and Heero Yuy.
This storyline revolves around the muns' opinions of what happens two years after Endless Waltz. Heero left after the war, to become a professional hacker and move on, away from the memories of the war and the people who made him feel things beyond what he's used to. Duo, however, has lingered on L2, having moved out of Hilde's care and into his own apartment, wasting his life away as part of the Sweeper group.
Heero comes back to L2 on a mission. It's taken from there.
Duo is slowly coming to terms with the fact that he's fallen in love.
Discover their relationship.
For the NON-yaoi roleplayers, I'm also perfectly content just having a best friend for Duo, especially if it happens to be Heero. I've always seen the two needing one another somehow. Hilde requests are welcome, though I won't consent in a relationship beyond friendship with the two. Duo is taken, and will remain so in or out of my big SL.
