Similarly to to LetsPlay/{{Sjin}}, Duncan is known as an expert ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' builder. Despite his wide work on ''Machinima/ShadowOfIsraphel''[='=]s art direction, Duncan appears to have gradually gotten out of practice following ''Shadow of Israphel''[='=]s hiatus. In 2012, he had a kind of rivalry with Sjin, though by 2014, they freely worked in co-op Minecraft series as well. He's also done a lot of work with LetsPlay/KimRichards using the [=YogCraft=] modpack in ''LetsPlay/TheApprentice'' and with Galacticraft and Yogscast Complete in ''LetsPlay/FluxBuddies''.

** The reason that his Skyblock series with Sjin ended is that he knocked Sjin over the edge. This would normally not be a case of EpicFail, but in doing so [[spoiler:the buckets that Sjin was carrying were LostForever, making it impossible to continue with their plans and basically prematurely ending the show]].

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: In the ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' "Terminator" minigame, his way of protecting the levers from the survivors was to simply go up to the last lever and guard it, that way ensuring that the survivors would be forced to put themselves in harm's way and that he wouldn't be wasting time in hunting them down, having murdered a few of them already. [[spoiler:It worked, and he won.]] It was LetsPlay/{{Nilesy}}'s idea originally, but his execution of it was pretty good.

** During the Mario Kart 8 livestream with Kim, Si and Matt, he decided to use a jet bike on 200CC (the hardest setting), claiming if he was going to suck, he would at least suck in style. Almost immediately after the races began, he realized how difficult the bike actually was:
-->'''Duncan:''' It's got a turning circle of ''*angles his hands in a very small circle*'' ah yee-ah.
*** He then tried to RageQuit by simply refusing to continue the race (as Kim repeatedly sighed "We ''warned'' you!"), and it wasn't until Kim basically chewed him out that he finished the race (and then got sulky for a little while afterwards).

* ChronicPetKiller: In every minecraft series he has done with Kim, their pets died. First it was Tiddles, who died having a bucket of Lava dumped on it. Then Tiddles II died when Duncan tried to shove him through a nether portal and it jumped into a lava pool, Mickey the Questing Ram who was disintegrated by the force field Duncan activated and Lady the Chocobo who died because she ran off after Duncan set her on "Follow" mode and jumped into the Lava pool near the Sky Stones.

** In series 2 of ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'', [[spoiler:he tried betraying LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} by moving all his units into Rythian's borders and then turning on him... which would have been a sound plan, except for the fact that his units were ridiculously weak compared to Rythian's GatlingGood]]. In fact, his performance throughout that whole game/series wasn't great, owing to the fact that he was Venice and thus needed to get moving quickly, something he failed to do, which left him in last place.

* {{Kayfabe}}: Out of the whole Yogscast, he is the ''only'' one who pretends that his character in each series is a seperate person. Most [[{{Egregious}} Egregiously]], whenever somebody tells him to "magic police" a problem away, he feigns ignorance, even though ''everybody knows he's a member''.
** Except that's not it at all. There are multiple hints across the various series that there are ''multiple Duncans'' on the server. It's part of the plot building going on.

For The Alcoholic, I know he\'s mentioned this with Simon and Lewis, but can\'t remember from where. I think it was Galacticraft?


* TheAlcoholic: Averted, but joked about in various videos. When the guys are talking about whether or not it's normal to drink water in the morning, Duncan says that he does it since he's often hungover. It's how he got the nickname "Drunkan" from fans and other Yogscast members.



* DistressedDude: In ''LetsPlay/{{MoonQuest}}'', [[spoiler:he ends up stranded on the moon for several episodes after his rescue of Simon fails]]. To make matters worse, LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane were too busy screwing around with a laser turret to rescue him.

To make matters worse, LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane were too busy screwing around with a laser turret to rescue him... made even worse since Simon ended up being ''teleported away'', negating the whole reason for being there.
** In ''Hole Diggers'', Duncan ends up being stranded on the moon, but for different reasons. His oxygen tanks are not as full as they could be, and eventually he nearly suffocates, only being saved when he seals himself into the only part of the moonbase with a working airlock. Lewis eventually has to come to save
him.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yogscast_duncan_jones_lalna_7343.jpg]]
Duncan Jones, usually simply known as "Duncan", and also referred to in the past as Lalna, is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] and a member of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}. He's prone to absentmindedness and has been characterised as a "mad scientist" and generally considered to be a drunk, even by other Yogscast members.

Similarly to to LetsPlay/{{Sjin}}, Duncan is known as an expert ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' builder. Despite his wide work on ''ShadowOfIsraphel''[='=]s art direction, Duncan appears to have gradually gotten out of practice following ''Shadow of Israphel''[='=]s hiatus. In 2012, he had a kind of rivalry with Sjin, though by 2014, they freely worked in co-op Minecraft series as well. He's also done a lot of work with LetsPlay/KimRichards using the [=YogCraft=] modpack in ''LetsPlay/TheApprentice'' and with Galacticraft and Yogscast Complete in ''LetsPlay/FluxBuddies''.

He played the part of Fumblemore in the ''Shadow of Israphel'' series.

His YouTube channel can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/user/yogscastlalna here]].

!!Duncan Jones provides examples of:
* TheAce: Mentioned several times as being pro at every game he plays.
* {{Adorkable}}: So very much.
* AffablyEvil: His evil mocking of LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} is a bit on the giggly and awkward side. In real life, you can drop the "evil" part.
* {{Badass}}: Yep, he's good at games.
* BadassLongcoat: His ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' skin is a variation as it's a labcoat. He's actually bought a real life labcoat as well which he occasionally wears in videos.
* ButtMonkey: On his channel's ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'' series.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: In the ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' "Terminator" minigame, his way of protecting the levers from the survivors was to simply go up to the last lever and guard it, that way ensuring that the survivors would be forced to put themselves in harm's way and that he wouldn't be wasting time in hunting them down, having murdered a few of them already. [[spoiler:It worked, and he won.]] It was LetsPlay/{{Nilesy}}'s idea originally, but his execution of it was pretty good.

* EpicFail: Despite his skill at games, Duncan has some truly terrible moments of fail.
** In series 2 of ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'', [[spoiler:he tried betraying LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} by moving all his units into Rythian's borders and then turning on him... which would have been a sound plan, except for the fact that his units were ridiculously weak compared to Rythian's GatlingGood]]. In fact, his performance throughout that whole game/series wasn't great, owing to the fact that he was Venice and thus needed to get moving quickly, something he failed to do, which left him in last place.
** His "rescue" of Simon in ''LetsPlay/{{MoonQuest}}''. [[spoiler:He also crashed into the moon, although this was in part due to LetsPlay/LewisBrindley giving him the wrong instructions after he'd initially managed to get it right]]. Later, he forgets to refill his oxygen tanks and gets killed by suffocation and hostile mobs in the rush back to base.
** While LetsPlay/SimonLane is largely responsible for the high volumes of fail in ''LetsPlay/{{JaffaQuest}}'' 105, Duncan's failure to [[spoiler:remove the rocket fuel and stop it from launching inside the factory]] is the reason it was possible in the first place.
* EvilIsPetty: Part of his persona in ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V''. [[spoiler:He starts razing LetsPlay/{{Rythian}}'s buildings when it becomes apparent that his own betrayal failed horribly.]]
* EvilLaugh: As part of his MadScientist persona, he often breaks into a giggle. As the "Terminator", he ended up doing a Jabba the Hutt style one, then changed it to Santa Claus.
* GeniusDitz: Initially was more genius than ditz, thanks to his experience with Tekkit, but as time goes on the ditzy side starts overshadowing the genius.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Platonically with LetsPlay/KimRichards. He absolutely towers over her.
* TheHyena: On occasion, Duncan will find himself unable to stop laughing.
* KleptomaniacHero: Probably the only member of the Yogscast who ''isn't''. In his ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' LetsPlay with LetsPlay/HannahRutherford, he's more interested in pushing forward with the story rather than hunting for loot, as Hannah does.
* MadScientist: Invoked a few times in his various playthroughs of ''Minecraft'' mods.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** In ''Machinima/TheBlackrockChronicle''.
** A case of this also happened in their ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'' playthrough. When it became apparent that [[spoiler:his betrayal of LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} had ended badly, he decided to simply raze his buildings, causing more trouble for Rythian than his attempt at outright war]].
* PlatonicLifePartners: {{Invoked}} by LetsPlay/KimRichards, who insists in her ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' playthrough that they're not actually dating and are just good friends, and Duncan's been with his girlfriend at that point for a long time anyway.
* SanityBall: How focused he is in ''Minecraft'' varies considerably. In ''LetsPlay/{{MoonQuest}}'' and ''LetsPlay/{{MarsQuest}}'', he finds himself being the only one working, whereas Simon, Lewis and [[spoiler:Sjin]] are not paying attention and just messing around. In his own series and ''LetsPlay/HoleDiggers''... less so.
* TheSmartGuy: Takes care of all the complicated recipes in Tekkit, and shares joint duty with Lewis in Galacticraft and the Yogscast Complete Pack.
