DURAG takes place during Rocco and Damani's junior year of high school, and while Duragman IS Damani, Damani is NOT Duragman. His original inception in the real world was on Sunday, February 10th, 2019 at 4:48:26 PM.
The turnaround (design) shown is with his normal equipment or gear on, which can be taken off and on at will but changes certain characteristics and properties of him. Duragman wears the same white tank top as Damani (underneath the hoodie) since he doesn't have access to a wardrobe or clothing closet during the time of Damani's linkage with the purple durag. He's about 5' 8", slightly taller than Rocco.
As per this page, the purple durag is the most powerful, and Duragman makes that known when he sees it fit to intimidate his opponents, but never without just cause. Duragman can technically do all the same things as Rock, but Rock is slightly underpowered (if Duragman is 100%, Rock is about 75%). While the shades and dark red scarf aren't required, the durags make their wearers want to conceal their identity and\or face (even if it's for naught), so Duragman likes to wear them whenever he's not alone. Duragman will also sometimes brush his hair with a bag or brush to get waves, a natural behavior of those controlled by a durag.
As stated previously, Duragman is Damani, but Damani is NOT Duragman. This sounds paradoxical, but it basically means that every Duragman (EXCEPT the first one Damani fights at the end of Episode 1) was ONCE a Damani. The FIRST Duragman was a meme spawned in The Meme Dimension from the two friends' jokes (as explained here), but EVERY SUBSEQUENT Duragman is a Damani who donned a purple durag and BECAME Duragman to defeat the existing one, becoming the next in the process. Damani wasn't instantly taken over by the durag, as Damani is the perfect combination of traits to slow the mind control process due to the nature of the seal. Damani loves his newfound power at first, and begins learning abilities he's obtained fairly easily, somewhat impressively as well. This is due to the fact that Damani will use everything in his arsenal to gain the upper hand and loves to get stronger, which lets him stay in control for the maximum (or at least near maximum ) time before he fully becomes Duragman.
Duragman's personality and behavior are by nature controlled and maintained by the durag, and acts as a "template" of personalities for any individual controlled by one. This is because Duragman was conceived as a meme long before the durag claimed any victims, ergo, he was the first. Duragman is calm and careless, often coming across as cocky or unamused, though he also likes to have a good time at others' expenses. Duragman is indeed the leader of the controlled individuals, convincing and\or forcing memes of a lower intellect or strength to act as the middleman for him and do what he says, without question. Duragman gets what he needs done as fast as possible, sometimes by cutting corners, but mostly just by being cutthroat and ruthless. While Duragman does dumb things on purpose for a reaction, he stays true to what he wants, acts quickly, and leaves no opening or possibility for failure. When things don't go to plan however, he takes it upon himself to kill, cast aside, or entrap those revolting, becoming too wise to what's really going on behind the scenes, or defying him, even if he has to get someone to do it for him... like Rock.
Should someone somehow muster up the strength to bring Duragman down to a critical point, or possibly nearing death, his wits and controlling nature take the forefront, and often finds a way to turn the tables. Giving the enemy a false sense of hope as a last resort, just to slip it away from underneath them and seize them when they're not looking, is the exact type of underhanded calculated strike Duragman likes to pull. This is what makes him so nasty in one on one fights and the self-proclaimed leader of the memes, also able to control memes of lower intellect and\or strength. Furthermore, he simultaneously convinces even stronger memes such as CyphGod to either work with him, or at very least, not turn against him. He only loses his cool at mental breaking points, and sometimes not even then. Unlike Rock, Duragman never experiences any symptoms of Damani trying to break through, Damani is both unable to, and kept in check by Duragman in his subconscious.
As far as durag controlled individuals goes, Duragman is an odd case. While Rock was originally Rocco and donned a durag in desperation to wipe out the huge force of memes that took over the city he lives in, Duragman was a meme created BY Damani, in their sophomore year. This meme was OF a Damani who wears a durag and becomes an all-powerful being. From within the scope of the story, Rocco and Damani will regret this joke of a persona, as he was the key to years of torment to come.

Purple Durag
Those given by the purple durag in DURAG II and the DURAG remake, which of course never saw the light of day.
Duragman almost exclusively takes his equipment off for what could be considered one of the most impactful scenes of DURAG history, and nothing else, and in doing so, is now called Wave Man.
The turnaround (design) shown is Duragman without any equipment or gear on. He is sometimes called Wave Man in this phase, and he will stop at nothing to kill you, even going all out from the jump.
Duragman is almost only ever seen in this form when pushed to his utmost limit, most recognized in the surprising turn of events at the end of Episode 1. In this scene, Duragman almost falls to Damani in the future, and his purple durag leaves his hands, knowing full well that if he IS killed in the moments to come, he will just take over THAT Damani (since Duragman is TECHNICALLY ALSO a version of Damani).
Unlike Rock, Duragman still thinks clearly and doesn't let his emotions take over while in this fired up state. The difference from his normal state however is that his senses are heightened, reflexes are moderately improved from the adrenaline rush, and he's now ready to get serious. Duragman will ALWAYS go all out in this state, using everything he can to get the edge and try to win the fight at ALL costs, even if he must die to do so.
