Devon D. Maroney

Devin D. Maroney

The man

Devon is a hard working individual who takes boxing seriously. He grew up in a family of boxers and always has tried his best to live up to his Father and late Brother's potential. He always chose working on his boxing over making friends around the village. He grew up to be a shy kid who stayed quiet. However, he is fierce when it comes to fighting in the ring or elsewhere. He isn't afraid to be outgoing. He has goals that he wishes to accomplish. It's just the initial step that is tough for him. His metal arms also don't help with his social life, being given odd stares. He ends up spending time alone, learning how to tinker with his arms and practicing boxing with them. His anxiety also gave him a slight stutter. However, his willingness and desire to be like his Brother and Father help push past these abnormalities to chase after what he wants in life.



Devon is also rather professional and kind to people he just met. He isn't very rude or abrasive, but he can have a loudmouth if he has a strong opinion on something. He can get really heated and angry. Compared to his fighting, he almost never is angry while fighting although it may look like it.

Devon has white hair and blue eyes. His white hair is short and spikey.  His eyebrows are the same color and are rather thin.  His nose is vertically long, but has a thin width.  His ears aren't too large, but they stick out from his head a tad bit.  His skin color is Caucasian, but he has a nice glowing tan.  He is 5 foot and 6 inches tall. He is the runt of the family. The shortest member of the Maroney Clan. He has a round face. He is very muscular throughout his body.  However, his muscles aren't melon sized.  He looks thin with that extra bit of sexy muscle. His nipples are also rather small.

His skin is rather flawless except for a few scars. He has one scar across the bridge of his nose that is hidden under a bandaid. Other than that, he has no blemishes. His most notable feature, however, is his arms. They are both made out of metal. He has scars from the surgery near his shoulders where they attached them to him. 










Devon doesn't like to wear a shirt. He often chooses to go topless, but when he must, he wears a white tank top. He wears red sweat shorts for pants with white laces near the waist. For shoes, he wears brown sandals, but often takes them off when fighting. He wears a silver chain necklace around his neck along with having two black gages in his ear lobes.  He also has one piercing on his nose which is  a simple silver dot.  Despite being made of metal, he still wraps his forearms and knuckles with wrapping bandages.

Extended Family
N/A


Devon was born to Jack and Janice Maroney.  They are from Felici, Ethea. His father was a boxing coach, instructor, and boxer himself. His mother was a boxing coach and a referee as well. He had an older brother named Alec Maroney who was also a boxer. His whole family had everything to do with boxing. They loved it. However, Devon never got to really experience the togetherness that the family had during their boxing events. This was because when Devon was born, he was born without the feeling in his arms. His arms were essentially useless, so they amputated what had grown on the stubs of his shoulders. And to make matters worse, Devon's mother died giving birth to Devon. He got prosthetics, but of course, they were never the same as regular arms. He couldn't move his fake hands and elbows to form fists and stand in a stance. He was the odd man out in the family.



So, throughout his entire life, he sat on the sidelines while watching his brother box and his father coach. During Devon's childhood, his father gave up boxing himself to raise Devon alone with some help from Alec and also because boxing made him remember his wife since she was his coach. He still coached to make a living to support his boys. However, a part of him died with the love of his life and the fact that he couldn't teach Devon to box. However, that wouldn't be all for the Maroney Boys.



Around the age of 12, Devon lost his brother in an accident. Alec was becoming a hot shot boxer. He was making his Father proud. Even Devon's dad seemed to be doing better since the death of his wife and his defunct other son. And of course, Alec was a great brother to Devon. Devon loved his brother. He always tried to teach Devon to box with his prosthetics. It helped Devon learn some stances for when he would get his mechanical arms. Besides for that, they would also play together and spend a lot of time together. Devon was almost inseparable from his brother.



The night of the accident was when Alec had a big boxing match. It was his first match where he was fighting a professional, a real professional. It was a great fight. They fought long and hard and in the end Alec won. However, he only won the battle, but lost the war. No one really knows what went down that night, but some say that Alec was told to lose the fight to let the professional win. The big guy's sponsor didn't want to lose the advertising rights nor were they willing to dump him for the new winner. Alec didn't respond; they told him again and assumed he would follow through. They even threatened him if he didn't. Some say those threats were real because after the match, Alec was shot and killed by some unknown assailent. A lucky bystanding witness happened to get a rough description on Alec's killer, saying they saw a marine symbol on his shoulder. However, the witness was dismissed after being proven drunk that night. Some might say he was tipsy, or barely even drinking. It was a controversial event in the town. The locals were devastated; everyone liked Alec, but his family was devastated the most. Devon loved his brother. He was sad for several weeks before recovering fully.



Jack eventually got a job as a mechanic, but his life slowly spiraled into a mess of things. He became an alcoholic, gave up everything to do with boxing, and started to neglect Devon. However, because of his Dad's alcoholism, he couldn't hold any job around town as a mechanic.  The last thing Devon remembered about his Dad was that during one of his relapses, he decided to try to make Devon into a boxer, which was when he had some crackpot scientist come over and install cybernetic arms on Devon. It gave him the ability to have normal arms again, well, normal as in functioning. His arms were still metal.  In fact, it sort of ruined Devon's social life, being in the most racist city in the world.  People looked at Devon with odd looks and yelled obscenities at him.  Nothing that his Father already did at home, but his father didn't even fight for his son when people would discriminate against him.  It didn't help with him fitting in with the other kids in town either as now they had more reasons to make fun of him besides for his Dad. He also couldn't help, but remember the pain that accompanied the procedure. He still hasn't forgiven his Dad for that.
They eventually had to leave and move to Dagos, a city that they could afford to live in as well as avoid the hate speech.


This relapse lasted for a few weeks where Jack actually tried to teach Devon to box. He did pretty well in doing so while continuing to drink and be an asshole. Its what led Devon to be the boxer he is today. However, that would be last time he actually ever saw his Dad because the following week after that, Jack never came home. For several weeks, Devon came home from school to an empty apartment. His dad had abandoned him. He didn't really tell anyone. He got by as a young teenager until he was able to work a stand at the farmer's market for an old man to make money to continue living there. He continues to work at the market, but on the side, Devon is  trying to make a living as a boxer like his brother and dad.  He is trying to find a coach, but no one will teach a freak like him because of the cybernetics he needs to be a functioning person.
