Personal History

Personality: Hunk is a large, heavy-set boy who tends to act very casually much of the time. His posture suits his mood, standing upright or slouching depending on his level of enthusiasm. His civilian clothes are also just as casual, a little rumpled but fit him comfortably. He makes no effort to sound formal though he has no pronounced accent of any sort, enjoys telling dumb jokes and often makes obvious (rarely overly mean) commentary on the people and things around them or the situations he and his friends find themselves in. He's pretty satisfied in himself, not worried about how fit he is, but if he's strong and fast enough to defend his people.

He's not exactly a slob, but he's not perfect either. He cleans everything to the extent of a relatively polite boy who likes a clean kitchen but also is still a teenager who wants to occasionally shirk chores. He was in the Galaxy Garrison, a military academy, and military academies are known for expecting a certain level of cleanliness to their barracks. So he is capable of taking care of himself and his environment, he's just not regimental about it.

He enjoys science. He and Pidge bond frequently over her knack for invention and his engineering ability. Together they're capable of inventing new technology and adapting to science that was beyond anything they'd encountered on Earth. He enjoys math and engineering almost as much as he does cooking. Almost.

Hunk inherited his passion for cooking from his mother. He's Samoan/African American and has a close, healthy relationship with his family. He uses this to be supportive, the strength his family has given him geared to supporting others in need. He's lived for a while in space as a paladin of Voltron. While he started as more cowardly and timid, even fighting off constant bouts of motion sickness, he developed a sterner stomach not just for piloting but for combat. Hunk has noble intentions and strong feelings about liberating enslaved worlds, but also the smaller scale desire to just make his friends happy and keep morale up.

Hunk's team and his family are the source of his optimism and drive. He wants to make the universe a better place for them and for people like them. He's capable of incredible empathy and encourages it in others. He's sometimes a little dense, like not fully understanding how to talk to Kieth when he discovered he was part Galra (repeatedly commenting 'now that you're Galra' rather than absorbing that he had always been one and hadn't actually changed other than what he knew). Or he joked to Pidge about her "girlfriend" after seeing a picture of her and her brother (and thinking she was her brother in the image). But he will apologize for mistakes if called out, point out credit where credit is due, is always eager to share the love or get in on a good hug.

But he's also incredibly astute in other situations. The suspicions he develops are based on reasonable logical observations and is good about not letting his emotions cloud his judgment. His hope for allies against the Galra didn't keep him from seeing through a trap laid by lying bounty hunters. His hope for reaching home didn't keep him from seeing a monster trying to lure in the team with an image of Earth. He's got an excellent grip on reality.

Those he dislikes are obviously dishonest or suspicious people. He can forgive, especially if people back up their words with actions. Usually he'll back his leader's decisions, and won't let his own biases affect his performance. He's definitely a follower, but will only follow someone he definitely believes in.

Hunk just is a good boy that wants to help his family, his team, and the universe. He wants people to be free to live their lives, and on a large scale he'll fight the forces of evil with fists and science and on a small scale will relish the smiles people get over a wonderfully prepared shared meal. The yellow lion always was meant to bond with someone whose heart was set on support, and that's Hunk through and through.
