Azunth, I'm flattered that you want to write a Stagger, as they ended up getting called around here. To answer your specific question about Doug's public persona, well, it depends on where in the Walk you set your story. What you see in DW2 is the "purest" form of his hero persona as it was usually expressed in Warriors' World -- fast-talking, machine-gun pop culture references and song quotes, trash-talking jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold comedian who really, really likes hitting things with lightning. Later in the Walk he gets a bit grumpier, a bit less willing to play with his opponents and more inclined to smack them down hard and make sure they don't get up -- especially if he's mentoring or protecting a youngster at the time. He's less inclined to make with the rapid-fire patter, but he doesn't give it up completely; and he certainly won't miss the opportunity to fling a zinger at or bounce a quote off an enemy if it presents itself. And he still really, really likes hitting things with lightning.
I'm about to start work, so I really can't put a lot more time into an answer for you right now, but I'll think about it through the day, and if I find I have anything to add, I'll do it tonight, okay?

...and my shoes began to squeak.
