Duffy

**Background:**

Duffy was born into a small family who worked grave digging shifts. The job paid well so they could live comfortably enough. Duffy from a small shovel looked up to his father. It was a great day when Duffys father agreed to teach him past Digging Arts this his fathers taught him. His mother was very supportive and always picked Duffy up when he was down. School was a interesting experience. Students seemed to tease him for being different. And was even told this shovels would be obsolete in the future. He had a phase of depression following it. But his father told him to ignore those folks. And to follow your heart. Growing up movies and shows were his form of entertainment and comfort. And caused him to make multiple friends online. For awhile he left digging behind and went into college to follow his dream of becoming a director. Everything was going great, Duffy even got a chance to direct his first movie for his film class. But a tragic accident during filming caused Duffy to leave college and go back to working on digging. Over a few years of hard work Duffy was able to master most of the Digging Arts passed down from his family tree line. He was later recruited by Skelebore since Duffy said he would work for free. Duffy now has plenty of friends and will be loyal to Skelebore and one day claim his dream of being a film director.

His parents gave him his great grandfathers name. He’s a family person who he greatly accepts it even today. Demon hunters and other larger demons refer to Duffy as Shovel since that’s what he is and nothing more. Of course it hurts his feelings but he’s literally just a shovel. During one day in high school a bully grabbed his handle and got a splinter. From that day on he was known as the hero of the school.

Duffy works for the “Totally Super Evil Organization” his jobs vary from time to time. When it comes needing something different up or simply making a hole he is counted on since he perfected the art of hole making. When he’s not digging something he’s often out on guard duty whenever there’s prisoners. He enjoys taking to whomever is captured at the current time as he enjoys making friends.

**Personality:**

Duffy is seen as a kind and supportive individual. Though it conflicts with him being apart of an evil organization. He often helps must people out that he comes across. His cheerful personality always brings a positive light to bad situations. Though often gets emotional when talked to rudely. His clumsy antics have brought a lot of misfortune towards the “Totally Super Evil Organization” as multiple times he has let prisoners escape by dropping the keys to their cells or falling on the “release all prisoners” button. Often times he always seems to fall in the wrong buttons needed to be pressed. When Duffy is directing a movie though his personality seems to shift into a demanding rather crude person. He pushes everything to the limits and often says everything should be as real without special effects as possible.

**Desire to direct movies and shows**

Over his life Duffy has been fascinated with tv shows and movies. He finds that creating a world from the ground up is incredible and watching the actors give it their all to make the scene work is magic. After high school he went to college to follow the dream. He took writing classes and directing classes. But dropped out after the terrible stage accident. He refuses to tell the full scene out but tiny parts of his screen play is told throughout the story and is left for fans to piece it together. He hopes to make a Hollywood movie franchise that will go on for many years.

**Fear of Obsolecence**

Duffy claims that shovels will always be the proper way to dig things up. This being said he fears construction equipment that digs large wholes within seconds like the Excavator. If people use machines for that job then shovels will be no longer needed. That’s why he’s always excited when someone needs a hole dug and why he mastered the digging arts completely. After his tragic directing accident in college he has a fear to return back to the chair. But his dream is to create films so it’s something he will have to overcome eventually.

**Appearance:**

He’s rather tall for a shovel. Which made him able to join the basket ball team during high school as the couches thought he was a born natural. Sadly they didn’t take account for his clumsyness. Duffy isn’t a brand new looking shovel. He has some chips throughout his stick but claims that shows your a hard worker. Or it’s possibly for him tripping and falling constantly.

**Digging Prowess (And Tap Dancing):**

His digging has been passed down from generations. During a young age Duffy jumped head first into his studies. His father taught him multiple techniques. And once he learned everything he could he did more research online about his long family tree attempting to learn forgotten techniques lost along the branches. Surprisingly Duffy is very good at tap dancing. Though he doesn’t have feet he places his stick in a shoe and can still dance properly due to slot of practice. He used this skill to distract Satan for a few minutes in a musical tap dancing song.
