Special Characteristics:
Always wears a black eye-patch over his right eye, but for what reason? Also always wears his green and black scarf given to him by his older sister.

Personality:
Dante has the attitude of your classical older brother. Always goofing off ad often not paying attention to what you say, but in the end you still manage to like him. He's just barely over average intelligence, and he lacks severely in common sense. He doesn't put much thought to things and, as a result, can't hold his tongue. At least this way everyone knows he's an honest person. He also tends to act upon Ethos more than Logos. He's quite friendly and isn't likely to hold a grudge, but man he can be a pain sometimes. He'll just become stubborn. And while he accepts anyone as a friend and lays no judgment, the years have taught him not to be so gullible. Once you've gained his trust, however, it's almost impossible to lose, and he doesn't give up on a friend. One of his strong beliefs is that no one is born evil, they've just been made that way. That belief affects a lot of things he does, so he does have pity for people. For the people that have lost their innocence along the way.

Dante's attitude in battle reflects much of how he is when he's out of battle. He often rushes in head first without giving much thought to strategy. While his fighting style seems wild, he does have an idea of what he's doing. Training throughout the years upgraded his fighting style from plain, simple, uncalculated, and predictable to something completely different. While it may just look like a flurry of fists, elbows, knees, and feet it's actually all elaborately created. The reason his movement is so wild is so that his moves are much less predictable than the average swing. You would think it would be sloppy, but from hundreds of fights he's learned where to hit to make it hurt. Tied in with his magic, Dante's a whirlwind of force. He's also earned a sort of sixth sense he calls fighter's intuition. No he can't see an attack coming before it happens but he can quickly realize a pattern in someone else's fighting style, that is if they're using hand to hand combat techniques. He's not too great at following orders, but he's great at working with others. Sometimes he's just not that patient to listen to orders. Just never send him to the back, he prefers front row seats in the action. And, while he does have some great leadership qualities, he'd rather not. He hates the responsibility that comes with having to lead others and giving out commands and blah, blah, blah. That's just not his style. Also he knows that he's too brash to be a leader of anything. A leader is someone who can think clearly in the midst of battle and plan out the key to winning. That's also not his style. As stated before, he just rushes in without any thought or worry.

One thing though. His passion for fighting shows, because no matter the situation or state of battle, he never loses that stupid grin on his face.  

Likes:

• Taking on a harder challenge. He loves the thrills that always come with a harder challenge and loves the exhilarating feeling that comes from the satisfaction of knowing he's getting better and better.
  
• Fighting. He loves taking people head on. When he's happy, depressed, angry, or any other emotion he has to punch something to get it out.
  
• Socializing with others. He absolutely hates solitude and can't stand silence. It's part of the reason why he gained the habit of talking to himself. SO he's never really in complete silence.
  

Dislikes:

• Overconfidence. Sure he thinks that he's up to any challenge that may face him but he still hates the others that become overconfident or cocky with situations. Apparently he has no problem being hypocritical.
  
• Losing. He's tried really really really really hard not to be a sore loser but he can't help it. He doesn't stop until he's completely drained and literally can't lift a finger.
  
• Needless killing. He can't stand when an innocent bystander is attacked, even if it's collateral damage. Random people should not die just because they were standing in the wrong place at the right time.
  

Motivations:

• People stronger than him. Sure, he'll never lose his passion of trying over and over again, but that passion is what drives him towards greatness. He'll act like he's the rival of those that can easily wipe the floor with him, but really he looks up to those people. They become his goal. To become stronger than them.
  
• His sister. Once upon a time, Dante was the happy go lucky kind of guy he is now. He also didn't have the determination that he has now. It's because of her that Dante is the Dante he is now. And for that he can never repay her.
  
• Friends. If his friends are depending on him to finish a job, he's going to finish it. The thought of them counting on him itches at the back of his head until the desire to win for them consumes him.
  

Fears:

• Life without purpose. There has to be a purpose, or a goal, or something that you have to achieve in life. There can't just be... no purpose in life.
  
• Being underground. In the clouds, on the mountains, on the sea level, he's fine. Put him in an underground space, be it a cavern or simply a dig site, he'll freak out. He will go inside, but he won't be of much use. It just makes him claustrophobic and makes him feel like he's being buried alive.
  
• Being helpless. He can't stand by and watch turmoil happen without jumping in. If he were held back from saving a life, especially of a friend's/family's, he'd become hollow inside.

Appearance:
Dante is your usual tall and handsome sort of guy. From years of training by himself in the weirdest of places, Dante gained quite the physique. To go into detail of his physique; Dante has eight toned abs, strong pectoral muscles, large biceps as well as triceps, defined deltoids, and a toned back. He is almost always seen in his black and white, designed outfit. He wears a black undershirt, then over the shirt he wears his signature jacket. It's mostly black with white trim, white crosses enclosed in circles on each sleeve. The upper half of his jacket is zipped while the bottom half is unzipped and opened. On the left chest of his jacket is a white design that resembles a compass. On the back of his jacket is a large white cross. He wears simple black, fingerless gloves with white trim. Same for his black pants with white trims and black boots with white buckles. He wears a very large tan/beige scarf around his neck. He has a small, silver, hoop earing on each ear. Of course there's his signature black and green scarf which he wears around his head that also keeps his hair up and his black eye-patch over his right eye.
