Dante’s best asset is not his strength (he is also very strong, but more the agility type), but his mind. Dante has photographic memory, is self-learned in classical philosophy, advanced psychology and quantum physics, can speak thirteen different languages (including two he created), and knows all the digits of pi. He can hack through any government database -- just give him an hour. Maybe less. The only reason he is still in high school is because he is smart enough to know that if the government found out about his talents, they would capture him and treat him like a lab rat.
His unparalleled knowledge in mechanical engineering enabled him to create The Chaosweaver, a robot suit he wears in battle. The robot suit can fly, and dual-wield katanas (a type of Japanese sword, in case you don't know).
Besides his brains and The Chaosweaver, Dante just cannot die. For example, he smokes 13 packs of cigarettes everyday, in addition to drinking 17 shots of whiskey to drown out the pain, but he doesn’t get lung cancer or alcohol poisoning because his father, the god of Death, wants nothing to do with him.
So many times I've tried...
xX Appearance Xx
Despite the secret of his birth, Dante looks like an average (more on the good-looking side, not that he cares about shallow stuff like that) 17-year-old boy. He is 6’4” with pale skin and a slender build. His hair is obsidian black, like his soul, and though he naturally has a white forelock (like X-Men’s Rogue), he keeps it dyed or covered so it doesn’t stand out. After all, he has learned his lesson.
Dante has two huge scars that run along the sides of his back. A deep scar also runs down his right eye, but note: besides this, his face does not look disfigured or ugly in any way.
The only things that scream of true heritage are the colours of his eyes: Blood red in one, and celestial gold in the other. Often, he wears thin-framed glasses to hide them. These spectacles glint under the sun, especially when he is thinking about something dark and grim. They are very flimsy and loose glasses so he has taken up a habit of pushing them up the bridge of his nose when he’s talking.
But I'm still caged inside...
xX Biography Xx
Dante is the product of an unholy union between an angel of Life, and the god of Death. Note that this kind of meeting only happens once every three thousand years. This is for good reason. Such unnatural offspring are prophesied to bring great catastrophe to those close to them. Thus, his parents quickly decided that he was a mistake, so they left him to fend for himself in the in-between: Earth.
On Earth, he grew up a street rat. The closest thing he had to a parent was a homeless veteran, Old Man Fridge, who taught him how to fight. Dante didn’t always want to fight, however.
When he was younger, the other kids used to make fun of him for his appearance. He was not ugly; he was just different. Besides the colours of his eyes, Dante used to have a pair of wings -- one black and one white. As a child, Dante had a big heart and was still very innocent so he let the other children bully him, walk all over him, knowing full well that he could crush them like ants if he truly wanted to. When he was 7, he finally broke. The other kids drugged him (they were also street rats so they had access to drugs) and cut off his wings. Dante retaliated by killing all of them. Or so he thought.
Old Man Fridge and Dante had to run that day -- going from city to city, and never staying in one place for too long. However, reality had to catch up with them at some point. One day, when Dante was 13, Old Man Fridge went missing. He just never came home. On his 14th birthday, Dante finally found out what happened to him. He woke up to a bloody package; inside was Old Man Fridge’s head. There was also a Hallmark Birthday card. The note said:
‘You have grown complacent.
I am always two steps a-head.
Never forget that, Dante.’
Since then, Dante has lived his life thinking of nothing but revenge. However, for all his genius, he is still nowhere close to figuring out who even killed his Old Man. He is starting to wallow in despair and self-loathing, convinced that he has let Old Man Fridge down.
Somebody get me through this nightmare...xX Misc Xx
Dante has only fallen in love once. Her name was Karen. It was a mistake. Never mention Karen in front of him.
Name: Jinsei Kakete Bokuwa
Appearance:
Age: 900
Gender: Male
Skills:
Bio: Born the son of a giant and a Tibetan concubine, Jinsei Kakete Bokuwa was the perfect child. Others were jealous of his natural strength and rugged good looks, and some outright hated him for having those attributes. One day, a gang of delinquents cornered him on the way home from school, and tried to pick a fight with him, but he dispatched them with incredible ease. His fighting prowess caught the attention of an old monk, who offered to teach him the ways of fighting.
- Bare-Fisted Fighting- Bokuwa-sensei is an absolute master of bare-fisted fighting. He knows all the styles of kung fu and mixed martial arts like the backs of his calloused hands.
- Strength- If his bulging muscles are any indication, Bokuwa-sensei is very strong. He can punch through titanium like it's paper.
- Stone Hands- Years of training have given Bokuwa-sensei the strongest hands on the planet, so much so that any sword that tries to cut one off shatters.
Bokuwa soon became an incredible fighter, even better than his teacher. He mastered every single martial art known to man, and invented fifteen new styles in as many days. He then traveled the world, beating up evildoers and attracting many, many beautiful women to his bed. And at 900 years old, he's still going strong.
All I have to say to this is yes. Just yes.
