Character personality:
On the surface, Dante can be quite the shameless ladies man, a smooth charmer with poor luck, a chipper carpe diem baby, and wielder of an endless optimistic outlook to any situation- even if he's the one on the losing end. He jokes, he laughs, he always looks for a good time and stays as friendly as can be unless someone annoys him enough to piss him off. To the orderly and reserved, Dante can come off as being careless, immature, poorly mannered, and as many in canon like to bluntly call him, an idiot with no concern for consequence in a social environment. He can be quite a cocky bastard and an expert at keeping his cool, regardless of whether the one he is speaking to is a friend or a foe. He might get a bit rattled more times then not, but he always resorts back to his cool behavior.
Ironically, the devil-boy is well aware of people's assumptions and his behavior. This general first impression he gives off to people rather common for him, like a type of mechanism to hide his true nature while he gets to test the waters for people. In reality however, there is more sadness behind that happy-go-lucky mask he tends to portray in public, the smiles an almost obnoxious attitude spare him the pity parties and the awkward questions.
Behind that general attitude, there are more demons plaguing his mind on a daily basis then the ones he's actually killed. Dante's grief and trauma revolve around the loss of his mother and twin brother at a very young age. He roams the surface of this Earth lamenting and embracing the human inside of him while cursing and despising his father's heritage and blood. In public he prefers to keep his secrets well hidden and the guy cracking all the jokes isn't exactly the one people assume has the serious issues. He feels detached from the humans, the weight of being half-demon has made him feel almost unworthy of the title and his fears of the strength his heritage both interest and horrify him. Power is power and he knows very well that that same power, just as his father had used before him, could either save or destroy.
Behind closed doors and in company of people he trusts in events that call for triggers, Dante can come off morbid haunted by his nightmares, shameful of himself, and at times highly suicidal as shown by what jobs he partakes(he works as a mercenary after all). His yearning to be normal by a human standard is what ultimately holds him in his depressive state when he realizes he cannot achieve it, he builds his own walls afraid he cannot be accepted. He dislikes being compared to demons since it was they who murdered his mother and took his brother away. His distaste for them runs incredibly deep though it is that same power he shares that allows him to protect the human race: it's just complicated. He never shows his darker side to anyone because he is far too insecure about opening to people since, it's not everyday you get a demon walking around. It doesn't help that his brother did a good work of murdering most, if not all, of the people that interacted with him from a young age. Dante considers himself a curse. He prefers to put a smile at the world and try and ignore the darkness surrounding him.
Creating true bonds and friendships with people is sometimes difficult to Dante, he isn't opposed to spending time with people but after a certain amount of time when attachment is imminent he begins to hesitate. His inability to trust and commit into the normality of the human world despite his hard work to try and fit in is one of the main reasons why he can't keep a relationship with a girl or with friends. His insecurity and self loathing make it almost impossible for him to commit himself- people close to him always end up getting hurt. There are those few whom Dante has grown bonds with and which he cherishes. Dante lost everyone, he lives his life alone and in solitude. When a chance to bond takes place, however, Dante eagerly tries his best in attempts to embrace his human heritage. He can be the greatest best friend in the world, or simply your worst enemy. He can be very impatient, very potent to anxiety and can be quite the obnoxious little punk. But he's got a good heart. He'd sacrifice his very life if it meant protecting someone he cared about. Sometimes the guys heart is just too big.
And because you all asked, his favorite food is pizza. He can... live off of pizza and he probably does because the guy doesn't know how to cook more than likely. His biggest pet peeve is people that talk more than he does because he's got a big mouth. A really. Big. Mouth.
Brief character history:
There was a time when the world was split in two: the light and the dark. Humans were created and became trapped between the two sides, stuck in the cross fire of war that even today continues to exist. Things were reigned in chaos in those days until order began to sink in. The Dark Prince (Mundus) of the Underworld(hell) was born. He conquered, he controlled, and his conquest to gain supreme rule began to drift from just controlling the underworld. The prince became greedy, he wanted the human realm for keeps.
Two thousand years ago, the Dark Prince began his attack on the humans marking the beginning of the epic war not knowing that the one who would bring an end to the conflict was one of his very generals: The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda.
Humans were losing terribly, finding themselves in the clutches of evil both through means of temptation and possession- they had no weapons that could create damage to the immortal, their bodies were too weak and their souls too fragile. Their world slowly began to plummet into darkness as evil took control of their hearts. The seven deadly sins of the world had become a real manifestation. Human order had fallen into chaos. There were very few left alive who could show no fear at the hands of Mundus's grand army, the generals and their legions had striven to eradicate all innocence and purity in the world. Temptation was inevitable and the human world was thought to
Unfortunately for Mundus, there was something he could not break: human's gift of free will. When a certain Devil became fascinated with the concept, it marked the end of the Dark Prince's terror.
Sparda was born and raised in the demon world and was a well known knight of the Demon King. He was the best at what he did and when the prince was marked as the next ruler, he humbly continued in serving the Dark Throne. When the war began, he entered with no sense of remorse, he was a devil after all. As time began to pass; however, he slowly began to think less of his rank as General and the actions they were forced to take. He found the acts on the defenseless human race to be unjust and cruel. Sparda was touched by the human determination to fight against temptation. Free will- it was something demons and devils knew nothing about but that Sparda slowly began to understand. He grew a strong determination to protect that innocent yet fragile gift all humans possessed and inevitably found himself denying the Prince's ambitions for power and control. He lifted his sword with great wrath and vowed war on the Demon Prince. No one believed he would defeat the monster and great brutality that created the immense strengths of the Prince of the Underworld. He was the devil, the essence of all evil while Sparda, despite the pure devil blood within him, was merely a general. Years of fighting between the humans backed with Sparda and the endless legions of the underworld finally reached an end- Sparda was victorious. His victory led to the eternal damnation of every evil soul to the underworld and the supposed eternal captivity of the Dark Prince. He used his own blood and powers to seal the king once in for all ridding the human world of evil and destruction. Fearing his own strength's, Sparda sealed his own powers in the underworld and lived the rest of his life as a human ruling the very people he saved with a merciful hand.
As years went on, he fell in love and married a human woman by the name of Eva. She bore him twins: Vergil and Dante. Both children held similar characteristics to that of their father along with his strengths. They had inherited, in a balanced amount, the power of Sparda, the power of he who had defeated the Dark Prince so many years ago. They lived in happiness yet a day came when the seal that kept the evil from the world no longer concealed the evil and broke. Sparda was destroyed along with his wife. The two children were separated.
Dante was but a child when the demons attacked. His mother barely had time to hide him in a corner of the room and warn him not to come out. Like any good son would, he listened to her orders and watched in fear and disgust as his mother was ripped to shreds be the now freed Dark Prince's minions. He heard as they validated his mother's death and spoke of his brother meeting the same fate. Mundus had no idea Eva had bared twins. For days after the attack and once the demons had left, Dante remained in his hiding spot in shock until the pains of hunger became unbearable. Dante was traumatized and he was alone.
For years that followed, Dante was on the streets, a homeless child tormented by vivid nightmares slowly consuming him. He was broken beyond repair, he did not fit in anywhere. He knew he wasn't normal but he wanted to be. Just like those happy children that walked around in the hands of their parents- he yearned to be wanted again. This was the beginning of that darkness that at most times consumes his heart. A day came when he realized just how special he truly was. The life style of a scavenger was dangerous, especially when he was a single kid. Fights would randomly break out or situations where his life was in jeopardy began to show him just how gifted he was. He had some skills other people didn't have and Dante slowly began to open his eyes to optimism. He was no longer useless.
Dante began to use his 'gifts' to his advantage. He picked up mercenary jobs that gave good money. He was no longer a starving homeless young boy, but a true mercenary. His skills gave him a name and good reputation in the world of freelance that for a moment he actually felt part of something. The demon world had always been present in the child's mind but he did not fully understand it. His trauma of witnessing demons murdering his mother and brother were enough to put him on a rampaging war against demons that a good portion of his jobs were hunting down these creatures.
His yearning for normality, to be the regular human teenager, led him to shun anything of his past up to his very name. For years he was under the alias of Tony Redgrave until a familiar face he had thought to be dead made its way back into Dante's life forcing him back into what he had desperately tried to forget.
The young devil hunter lived for years thinking he was alone. He had been worshiping two grave's ever since he was able to adorn the graves and the monuments. There were two grave's that were continuously dressed with fresh flowers. It was almost enough to give him a heart attack when he saw his twin brother again. Their meeting was short and surprising, but it left Dante so incredibly torn. For years he had missed that older brother of his (even if it was by just minutes). When Vergil appeared, he thought everything would be better again, but the visit was short and a week later Dante woke up with no brother in sight. He was alone. Again.
A year passed and Vergil resurfaced, this time, it was not a friendly family reunion.
The tower Temen-Ni-Gru, created by humans in their ambition to gain the powers of the underworld, erupted from the ground in the middle of New Jersey littering what was left of the city in chaos and demons. After a long period of battling through the tower and destroying the demons that had been protecting the demonic edifice, Dante finally reached the top and found his brother was behind all of this. Vergil was trying to find a way into hell by taking the amulet the amulet his mother had given him. The two brothers shared the same memento that worked as a key into the demon world if they were united. A gruesome battle between the two brothers left Vergil victorious and Dante with a nasty hole through his chest. With the trauma of the impact he received, he was able to gain his devil trigger, a form manifested by the devil essence he inherited. His adventure led him through the tower and even right into the belly of the underworld itself. After destroying Arkham, Vergil's minion who somehow become the puppeteer to this evil ploy of trying to gain Sparda's power, the twin brothers battled it out. Unfortunately Dante was victorious and it was with a laden heart that his brother forced him out of hell before the gate collapsed. Dante tried to bring his brother along with him but Vergil wouldn't have it- the last thing he witnessed of his brother was his sword cutting at Dante's palm as he reached out for him as Vergil plummeted into the abyss forcing him to remain in hell. Dante was making his way back to the human world when he got taken away.

Abilities:
♱ SUPER DEVIL STRENGTH
Because Dante was born a half demon, his natural human strengths are not necessary nullified but multiplied. Due to his blood lineage, Dante has inherited a demons super human strength. Whether he be holding it or being put through it, Dante is able to withstand more weight than the average human. In regards to weight, Dante is also canonly known to weigh a lot(credit to Devil May Cry(Novel)). If he, for example, is somehow knocked out and unable to move on his own accord, it takes several people to so much as lift him up. He's heavy but he can control his weight in the means that he won't kill someone for sitting on them when he's conscious and in control. He is a body of matter all on his own.
He is able to inflict more damage with one punch making the feeling a close approximation to being thrown against a brick wall at high speeds. He can propel himself easily and kick off from the ground into a very high jump or make long leaps. He has incredible agility and dexterity. Dante can easily move around a battleground dodging with complicated moves and is more than capable of pulling off some acrobatic stunts. Because of his speed, Dante also holds the ability to 'walk' on walls. He can't exactly stay stationary on a wall and just stick, he uses the wall as a propelling medium or as a floor. It has to do more with speed and what he's doing. In short, he sticks to the laws of physics for the most part, Dante is not that magical.
Dante has the ability of holding his breath for long periods of time, making it seem as if he can breath under water. Because of his high stamina, he has a very high tolerance to damage. It will take more than just bullets to take him out or several hundred hits. He's a walking killing machine, calling him a human would be more than an understatement. His senses have been literally multiplied exponentially making him capable of surpassing even the most gifted animals and their traits.
Alongside having very quick reflexes, Dante has an incredibly high level of speed. While in combat, he can move from one end of the battlefield to the other with nothing but a seconds notice(no, he cannot teleport). His reflexes are faster than average and his movements are alike. When it comes to running, Dante can really speed up his pace(in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, he seems to almost break the sound barrier). When it comes to his weapons, he can use his speed to his advantage by either impaling someone a thousand times with his sword, dodging out of an attack with an incredible counterstrike, or making holes in someone's person with a high amount of bullets(fast speed yields fast trigger fingers: In Devil May Cry(Novel) his trigger finger is so fast it melts regular guns). This is why he uses custom made guns.
♱ HEALING ABILITIES
There is only one known way to effectively kill a devil and quite frankly, it's more easily said than done. It is said that by removing a demons heart, the beast will die because it will lose its ability to regenerate: no blood being pumped means no regeneration going forth. That being said, Dante can take an incredibly high amount of damage. From bullets lodged directly into his skull to numerous impaled scythes- Dante can take it all.
Throughout the years, Dante has picked up several skills that have marked him as quite the exceptional fighter. Most of them revolve around a mastery of an array of weapons,the sword being his major forte. He is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat that in combination with his other abilities, can easily make him a force to be reckoned with. These can be summed up into these groups which come out in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening:
Dante also has one final ability that marks him as a supreme unholy being: Devil Trigger. All the essence of his demonic heritage concentrates into this single ability. When our devil-boy transforms his body grows exponentially and takes up a strange style of red scales, sharp teeth, claws, and bug-like wings. Every ability Dante possess in his 'normal' state is multiplied. His strengths are fairly comparable to no one making him almost invincible. His speed accelerates, and most importantly his regeneration ability multiplies so as to make it almost seem like he isn't getting hurt (that is, if an attack can get past the thick scaly armor of his). During Devil Trigger, Dante has the ability to fly and instead of just using his guns, he is able to charge every shot with a frightening amount of demonic essence.
Samples:
First person: Setting : Dante arriving in Traverse Town for the game STAR_KINGDOM
I never thought I'd see the day I'd be calling currency munnie without getting some kind of injury. This is like some really bad acid trip. [A sigh.] This sure isn't hell but it's not Jersey either.
[Dante's standing in a well-lit street fixing his coat and looking from side to side. Although he just finished hearing the bad news, there's no tears. His humor is intact but that frown is a clear indication he's not too level.]
Did anyone see where that weird looking fairy went off to? You know, that white pant-less thing? Can we keep 'em? I bet they don't need to eat a lot. Don't even look like they shed.
It sure said a lot of crap. Destroyed worlds? Yeah right. I Probably got drunk again... woke up in another country...with fairy's...naked ones.
Third Person: Setting : Dante arriving in Traverse Town for the game STAR_KINGDOM
Things just weren't adding up in Dante's mind no matter how much thought he put into it. It was sometime during the night now in Traverse Town and Dante hadn't bothered going to the inn. He was restless, the words that moogle had told him were still rolling around his mind making him a mess. So my world's destroyed, he thought to himself bringing a hand up to rub at the back of his neck, last I remember I had just finished saving it.
Talk about being denied. He heaves a sigh and looked up at the heavens "Can't I ever get a break?"
Who that was directed to was beyond him, it was just a habit. Who didn't like the feeling that something was listening. As creepy as it sounded, it was reassuring. Living alone his entire life made him appreciate even the slightest bit of company. With a stretch and a grunt, he shifted on the roof where he sat and stared down at the street. This place was creepy. Clean. And creepy.
"It's like a cross between Germany and Austria... or something from Europe. What the hell do I know: it has fairy's dammit."
It was clear to him without a shadow of a doubt that he wasn't on earth and that he was probably nowhere near it... if that made any sense. He wasn't too keen on trusting the moogle's but it was the only lead he had. For now, their word was concrete until he could prove it otherwise. Tonight was the night to investigate and that was what he was going to do.

Character personality:
On the surface, Dante can be quite the shameless ladies man, a smooth charmer with poor luck, a chipper carpe diem baby, and wielder of an endless optimistic outlook to any situation- even if he's the one on the losing end. He jokes, he laughs, he always looks for a good time and stays as friendly as can be unless someone annoys him enough to piss him off.

Because of his speed, Dante also holds the ability to 'walk' on walls. He can't exactly stay stationary on a wall and just stick, he uses the wall as a propelling medium or as a floor. It has to do more with speed and what he's doing. In short, he sticks to the laws of physics for the most part, Dante is not that magical.
Dante has the ability of holding his breath for long periods of time, making it seem as if he can breath under water. Because of his high stamina, he has a very high tolerance to damage. It will take more than just bullets to take him out or several hundred hits. He's a walking killing machine, calling him a human would be more than an understatement. His senses have been literally multiplied exponentially making him capable of surpassing even the most gifted animals and their traits.
- ***The 'common side effects' to these given abilities are mostly in actions. What one would find normal to human behavior changes drastically for Dante. His diet must consist of a high caloric intake and he seldom sleeps due to him abnormally feeling rested after a couple of hours. He is capable of staying awake for several days without feeling tired depending on what activities he got himself through. Because his senses are so acute, in can be a problem. Smells that normally pass to most humans as sometimes annoying (like cigarette smoke or the distasteful wonders diapers can hold) can definitely mess with his senses. He's engineered to be better but he has kept all the same flaws.
Alongside having very quick reflexes, Dante has an incredibly high level of speed. While in combat, he can move from one end of the battlefield to the other with nothing but a seconds notice(no, he cannot teleport). His reflexes are faster than average and his movements are alike. When it comes to running, Dante can really speed up his pace(in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, he seems to almost break the sound barrier). When it comes to his weapons, he can use his speed to his advantage by either impaling someone a thousand times with his sword, dodging out of an attack with an incredible counterstrike, or making holes in someone's person with a high amount of bullets(fast speed yields fast trigger fingers: In Devil May Cry(Novel) his trigger finger is so fast it melts regular guns). This is why he uses custom made guns.
♱ HEALING ABILITIES
There is only one known way to effectively kill a devil and quite frankly, it's more easily said than done. It is said that by removing a demons heart, the beast will die because it will lose its ability to regenerate: no blood being pumped means no regeneration going forth. That being said, Dante can take an incredibly high amount of damage. From bullets lodged directly into his skull to numerous impaled scythes- Dante can take it all.
- ***His ability to heal works almost the instant he becomes injured, however, it has a set speed. Dante can reach a state where his body has taken too much damage for his healing abilities to heal quickly. The process may lag and Dante can fall into a death-like period until the healing catches up to a workable body but such moments have been rare. Also, it is canon proof that holy water does harm Dante and slows down his regenerative abilities. It's safe to assume that any weapon blessed or of some equal value can cause far more permanent damage.
*****FOR MODS: Normally, I allow characters that have attacks that are light based(like mages) to apply a certain amount of damage, devils and demons in Devil May Cry are darkness-based after all. Abilities like innocence from D. Gray-Man as an example, I allow them to place more permanent damage. I don't want to take advantage of the regenerative abilities so I'm more than happy to work attacks. It's not fun when they don't get hurt, amiright?!
Throughout the years, Dante has picked up several skills that have marked him as quite the exceptional fighter. Most of them revolve around a mastery of an array of weapons,the sword being his major forte. He is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat that in combination with his other abilities, can easily make him a force to be reckoned with. These can be summed up into these groups which come out in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening:
- SWORD MASTER - He is a master at swordplay and this stye allows him the ability to master any new weapon he picks up letting him use special techniques that wouldn't normally render as orthodox. Can you say 'flying guitar He's on all out offensive.
- GUNSLINGER - Not only can he master the use of various guns he holds in his possession as main weapons but he can add them with swords to create even more dangerous attacks(an example is the move 'fireworks' that portrays a combination of his sword Rebellion and his shotgun). Dante is also able to add his skills into very effective acrobatic maneuvers and stunts.
- ROYAL GUARD - In this style, Dante takes a more defensive approach stopping anything from sharp scythes with his bare arms to huge enemies to give him some room. This is normally done as an aid to another style but it shows he is quite gifted at defense.
- TRICKSTER - Although Dante cannot teleport, he can move very fast to the point that it almost looks like he can. With this style, Dante tends to take a more sneaky approach attacking from behind or the sides maneuvering himself out of the way just in time for an enemy to land a blow on him.
- QUICKSILVER - Dante holds the ability to stop time and slow it down, but be aware it is not permanent.
- DOPPELGANGER - Just as quicksilver is not permanent, neither is this ability! Dante can create a replica of himself very to help him in battle.
***Because QUICKSILVER and DOPPELGANGER can sometimes seem OP'd, their use in-game is very unlikely to almost never. They won't get used unless permission is acquired or some event offers the chance to use them.
Dante also has one final ability that marks him as a supreme unholy being: Devil Trigger. All the essence of his demonic heritage concentrates into this single ability. When our devil-boy transforms his body grows exponentially and takes up a strange style of red scales, sharp teeth, claws, and bug-like wings. Every ability Dante possess in his 'normal' state is multiplied. His strengths are fairly comparable to no one making him almost invincible. His speed accelerates, and most importantly his regeneration ability multiplies so as to make it almost seem like he isn't getting hurt (that is, if an attack can get past the thick scaly armor of his). During Devil Trigger, Dante has the ability to fly and instead of just using his guns, he is able to charge every shot with a frightening amount of demonic essence.
- ***In regards to weakness, it is canon proof that holy water does harm Dante and in this stage, it works no different. It's safe to assume that any weapon blessed or of some equal value can cause far more permanent damage but nothing he won't recover once he's de-triggered. Being in Devil Trigger makes him more inherently 'dark', so to speak, not evil. He is very sane and himself when in this mode. The only exception is DESPERATION MODE but that solemnly happens. In DESPERATION MODE, the demon is in full reign.
*****TO MODS: Because Devil Trigger can seem very OP'd, his limit can be to use Devil trigger for only a certain ammount of time. Going into Devil Trigger takes energy therefore giving him an interval of about fifteen minutes is fine if you want.

First person: Setting : Dante arriving in Traverse Town for the game STAR_KINGDOM
I never thought I'd see the day I'd be calling currency munnie without getting some kind of injury. This is like some really bad acid trip. [A sigh.] This sure isn't hell but it's not Jersey either.
[Dante's standing in a well-lit street fixing his coat and looking from side to side. Although he just finished hearing the bad news, there's no tears. His humor is intact but that frown is a clear indication he's not too level.]
Did anyone see where that weird looking fairy went off to? You know, that white pant-less thing? Can we keep 'em? I bet they don't need to eat a lot. Don't even look like they shed.
It sure said a lot of crap. Destroyed worlds? Yeah right. I Probably got drunk again... woke up in another country...with fairy's...naked ones.
Third Person: Setting : Dante arriving in Traverse Town for the game STAR_KINGDOM
Things just weren't adding up in Dante's mind no matter how much thought he put into it. It was sometime during the night now in Traverse Town and Dante hadn't bothered going to the inn. He was restless, the words that moogle had told him were still rolling around his mind making him a mess. So my world's destroyed, he thought to himself bringing a hand up to rub at the back of his neck, last I remember I had just finished saving it.
Talk about being denied. He heaves a sigh and looked up at the heavens "Can't I ever get a break?"
Who that was directed to was beyond him, it was just a habit. Who didn't like the feeling that something was listening. As creepy as it sounded, it was reassuring. Living alone his entire life made him appreciate even the slightest bit of company. With a stretch and a grunt, he shifted on the roof where he sat and stared down at the street. This place was creepy. Clean. And creepy.
"It's like a cross between Germany and Austria... or something from Europe. What the hell do I know: it has fairy's dammit."
It was clear to him without a shadow of a doubt that he wasn't on earth and that he was probably nowhere near it... if that made any sense. He wasn't too keen on trusting the moogle's but it was the only lead he had. For now, their word was concrete until he could prove it otherwise. Tonight was the night to investigate and that was what he was going to do.
