Hunk was a cadet at the Galaxy Garrison, part of a team with Pidge and Lance, when his path as a Paladin of Voltron was set into motion. Following a former Garrison explorer's unexpected return to Earth, and an equally unexpeected team-up with a former classmate, the three cadets - thanks in part to Hunk's analysis of Pidge's data - found the Blue Lion of Voltron. Thus began a wild adventure into space, where Hunk and the others met Coran and Princess Allura, at the time thought to be the only two Alteans left. The group learned about the history of Voltron, and that they were to be its Paladins. Lance accompanied Hunk to retrieve Hunk's Yellow Lion, and soon all of the Lions had been collected.
Their mission? To stop the Galra Empire's evil reign. Hunk experienced a lot in his role as Paladin, a role he initially took reluctantly. He helped the aliens on the Balmera to find the will to fight for freedom, he grew into the Paladin role and found his inner strength and courage, and - along with the rest of Voltron - was betrayed by and then defeated Lotor... Oh, and he enchanced his skills as a cook quite a bit. When the Paladins finally returned to Earth, Galra had lay claim top the planet, and Hunk's family had been captured, leaving him more determined than ever to stop the Empire. Ultimately, the Empire was stopped, and while things are at a moment of relative calm, a hostile robot being piloted by a mysterious Altean has raised some new questions.
Personality Blurb: Hunk is a caring and warm young man. The only thing he loves more than food is his friends, and he's been described as the heart of Voltron. He sees the importance of keeping the team together and trying to keep the peace at all times, and he's none too found of conflict. Even with all the courage he's gained, Hunk is still somewhat prone to fear and panic, and he's probably had the hardest time adjusting to and accepting the weirdness of life as a Paladin, and being in space.
Despite being a goofball at times, Hunk is notably intelligent, specifically in the engineering and mechanical sciences. Hunk is easily distracted by hunger, and his usually laidback nature is tempered by a stubborn streak that comes to play mostly when he's trying to protect others, even if he's not in the right on how he goes about this. For all his concerns about the life he's become part of, being a Paladin of Voltron has truly given Hunk a strong sense of hope.
Preferred Essence(s): Winnie-the-Pooh from A. A. Milne's books, or possibly Goldilocks from Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Both characters are heavily associated with food. Winnie-the-Pooh is also the heart of his own group, similar to Hunk's role in the Voltron group.
Looking For: I think I'm definitely going to go with one of those two!
Appearance:Hunk's usual look. If I go with Goldilocks, he'd have blonde hair. If I go with Winnie-the-Pooh, he would have plush teddy bear ears. I might also go ahead and swap Hunk's usual top for a red t-shirt, as Disney's version of Pooh wears. Definitely open to further suggestions!
Abilities: Winnie-the-Pooh: The ability to summon a balloon that would allow him to float, always being able to find food - particularly sweets - nearby, and a tendency to get himself/his hands/feet/head stuck in smaller spaces. Goldilocks: Higher scrutiny: Hunk would be able to discern if something was wrong or off with an object, especially when compared to similar objects, the ability to open most doors with a single touch, and possibly the ability to turn into a bear under certain circumstances, currently undecided. Open to further suggestions for both!
Quirks: Winnie-the-Pooh: Forgetfulness Goldilocks: A lack of boundaries with others' property.
Goal: The fun of playing Hunk, for me, is playing with the way he is the heart of the group and wants to keep his friends together and everyone safe, and this is a good setting for that, as he'd have come to protect his own world as well as various stories! I also love the idea of Hunk having sometimes dangerous tasks that he needs to complete to achieve that goal, because that brings about character growth.
