CHARACTER NAME: Hunk
AGE: 18
CANON: Voltron: Legendary Defender
CANON POINT: End of Season 6
HISTORY: Episode Guide | Hunk Bio A | Hunk Bio B
PERSONALITY: Hunk is the kind of guy that is laid back and easy to get along with, he doesn’t care if you label yourself as a loner because that is only going to encourage him to try and befriend you more. No one should be alone, right? Hunk certainly doesn’t enjoy it, but it makes sense since he came from a large family who spent a lot of time together either working in the garage or cooking together in the kitchen.

Hunk may be large himself, but he doesn’t hold an intimidating bone in his body. That being said, he has a lot of hidden depths that go unnoticed at first. He has intelligence nearly equal to Pidge, determination to rival Keith, compassion to match Allura, and a is just about as laidback as Lance. It’s no wonder that he fits seamlessly into the group. His background in engineering means that (most of the time) he can talk science with Pidge and they make a rather terrifying duo at that. Not to mention, Hunk possess incredible intelligence in the kitchen, able to cook delicious meals out of ingredients never before seen on Earth. Keith may be stubborn, but when it is revealed that he is Galra, Hunk is one of the few who doesn’t have a shift in opinions towards him. He seems pretty determined to keep Keith around, perhaps understanding that Keith needs somewhere to belong. Allura may be altruistic when it comes to having Voltron save the universe, but Hunk is usually right there beside her among the people and trying to get to know the races they are saving. Shay was the first alien he truly bonded with, but he is just as motivated by Allura to see the Universe at peace again. This drive to keep the universe at peace only doubles when he realizes Zarkon can be just as much of a threat to his home planet as anywhere else. Then there is Lance, his oldest friend among the group, the two have a laid-back relationship and get up to mischief together, though Hunk always seems to go along begrudgingly. He has no problem teasing his friends and keeping it "real" with them.

He is one of the few on Team Voltron who has no trouble making friends outside the group, and it’s likely because he puts the needs of others before his own. It’s a constant struggle with him honestly, since he identifies as a coward, someone who would rather run away from a fight. But, if you get his friends involved, if you threaten the people he cares about, then everything else gets set aside, even his own sense of self-preservation. The thing that really makes Hunk happy is seeing other people happy, so whether that’s saving them from attack or baking them a pan of cookies, he’s going to do his best to cheer others up. Keith said it best when he said that even though Hunk is scared a LOT, he’s actually really brave because he never backs down when the stakes are high. Hunk understands the importance of helping others and putting others before himself. It’s why he made the perfect paladin for the Yellow Lion, the lion known for its kindness and ability to lift up the team (literally and figuratively).

It’s easy to stay friends with Hunk too. Aside from being extremely kind, Hunk is both supportive and funny. He inspires hope in others, because even when things are tough, his head-strong determination doesn’t let him give up. While it’s true his humor can land on the dark or dry side at times, it’s his quick wit that keeps the others focused and grounded. He’s a man of science, and so he looks at most situations as logically and to-the-point as is possible. Still, he’s a realist and not a pessimist, so it isn’t like he doesn’t see the bright side of things from time to time. Hunk is just very honest and sometimes that honesty is to a fault. The others might not want to hear how crazy the situation they are in is or how dire things truly are, but Hunk is going to share his thoughts on it anyway. And sometimes those thoughts are going to be in the form of puns. He apologizes for none of it and is an instant morale boost in any dire situation. He is the leg that lifts the team up in their darker times.

Of course, it helps that Hunk has a good intuition about people. He may appear to be trusting, and he usually does give people the benefit of the doubt. he has often been the first to come to the right conclusion about others. He has a good ‘gut’ instinct and seems to know when he should really befriend or interact with a stranger or not. Hunk is far from stupid and is definitely one of the more cautious of the paladins of Voltron. He often opts for the safer route, the less violent course, but if he has to chase after the others to help, then he does so without hesitation.

While Hunk enjoys falling back and taking on the role of supporter or funny guy, he will step up if the situation calls for it. In the hierarchy of the group, Hunk would probably not be the first one you would expect to take on the role of leader. But again, he takes his role as a paladin very seriously now and when the others look to him for help, he is there for them.

CANON POWERS: Only if you count his ability to connect psychically with the Yellow Lion. Otherwise Hunk is your run-of-the-mill human.
OTHER:



CRAU INFO: None.
MAGIC ABILITY: Healing Hugs Touch. Hunk is able to heal what ails you! He can only use this ability if he physically touches the person. The more intense or extreme the injury, illness, or fatigue the more contact is required. This could mean that he has to touch you longer OR that he has to touch more of you. So he restores a little HP if he taps you (or gives you a quick high five) or fully restore your HP if he gives you a hug.
ANY WEAPONS/MAGICAL ITEMS?: Bayard. Definitely the bayard. It looks like a handle at first but takes the form of a large single-barreled blaster cannon for powerful rapid-fire attacks.

Also, just curious, where does Paladin armor fall into this? Is it just considered clothing?
ANY PETS?: Sadly no pets.
