Marcelo Duran

Marcelo Duran is a former noble of Instinct, and an Awakened Shaman currently working as a mercenary for the Havok Agency.

History
Marcelo was born in Instinct into a noble family in decline, nearing financial ruin for various reasons. While still raised to act as one, Marcelo enjoyed few of the luxuries you would expect of a noble in his childhood. Marcelo happened to be the first Awakened child to be born into his family in several generations, and hoped that he would be able to leverage this for the sake of his family, joining the Instinct military when he grew older. Though talented, Marcelo would quickly grow frustrated in his lack of advancement compared to those from more well respected or well off families. Eventually, this would lead Marcelo to abandon his native country of Instinct to join the Havok Agency as a mercenary.

Harmonic Spirit
Marcelo is spiritually bonded with and able to utilize the abilities of both legendary Urshifu, able to harness the powers of both the Single-strike and Rapid-strike. Both of these spirits give Marcelo incredible physical power, alongside their tremendous martial skill. Fitting for their names, Single-strike focuses on devastating single blows, whilst Rapid-strike focuses on a barrage of strikes, flowing like a river. Both spirits give Marcelo the ability of the Unseen Fist, allowing his physical strikes to bypass the defenses of his foes and strike them directly, with full power. He is also able to utilize several moves, such as Aqua Jet, Sucker Punch, Counter, Close Combat, Drain Punch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, and the signature Wicked Blow and Surging Strikes of the Urshifu forms.
