Laura Dukes

Laura Dukes is a DMS agent in the Video Game division. She is written by PoorCynic.

Appearance
Laura is average height and a little big in the hips. She has shoulder-length red hair and, for most of the time, a rather annoying smirk. She usually wears a baggy black sweatshirt and a pair of blue jeans. Very few people have ever seen her when she wasn't wearing sunglasses.

Background
Laura was recruited to the PPC in 2008 HST and assigned to the Department of Intelligence. Her tenure there was marked with incident; 142 formal complaints were issued about her from her coworkers for myriad reasons including foul language, dereliction of duty, aggravated assault, and failing to refill the coffee pot after taking the last cup. She was transferred into the Department of Mary Sues after knocking out the DI computer database by downloading a pirated version of the Sam and Max video game. Rumor has it that the only reason she wasn't fired is because the SO lost a bet with the Sub Rosa and was forced to take in Laura as payment.

Personality
Some people would describe Laura as 'self-sufficient;' everyone else would call her 'an uncontrollable pain in the rear.' She's a consummate rule breaker and delights in openly defying the orders of the Flowers (up to a point; she isn't suicidal, after all.) Those who get on her bad side will often find themselves being barraged by screams and curses. She relies a great deal on twitch reflexes, and often will leap into a situation without thinking. Her sense of humor is crude, focusing mostly around colorful language and practical jokes. That being said, those who get to know her say she is incredibly loyal and is often willing to put herself on the line to bring a mission to a successful close.

Laura is a hardcore gamer, with all the baggage that comes with such a title. She will stay up for hours on end playing video games, powered only by sheer determination and several cases of energy drinks. Gamer speak has drifted into her normal conversations, resulting in her calling people 'noobs' and telling them to 'STFU.' Her devotion to this hobby has made her view large alterations of video game canon to be one of the worst crimes a Mary Sue can commit.

Her favorite weapons are a pair of daggers that she carries with her on every mission, no matter what the continuum actually is. No one quite knows where she got them.
