| - | [[Image:dante.png|frame|Dante Redgrave: Local demon hunter, student, younger twin, wibbler, asshole. Don't let the cute face fool you.]] Dante hails from Capcom's [[Devil May Cry]] series; more specifically, he comes from pre-canon Devil May Cry 3. Some details of the manga are relevant, most are not, as the time frame has been skewed in a massive way for plotty purposes. However, since nothing game-canon-wise has happened, everything mentioned in game about the past is still very valid.

| - | This Dante is another incarnation of <i>another</i> Dante, once played in [http://squenix_uni.livejournal.com Squenix Uni] and [http://fractura_uni.greatestjournal.com Fractura Uni], known as [http://sanctus.livejournal.com Sanctus] and [http://divinespiral.livejournal.com DivineSpiral] respectively. However, during the course of play (since August of 2006), he's grown away from the archtype he once started as, and has become an entirely unique version, with only superficial ties to his predecessors.

| - | ==THE BASICS==
| + | |
| - | <b>Name:</b> Dante Redgrave<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Age:</b> He'll give anything between 19 and 21.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Height:</b> Six feet even.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Weight:</b> Fluctuates between 190 and 200 pounds.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Hair Color:</b> White. Not grey. Not silver. <i>White</i>.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Eye Color:</b> Light Blue.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Family:</b> [[Vergil]] (twin brother), [[Sparda]] (father), and [[Eva]] (mother/deceased).<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Nicknames:</b> Wibbler, Baby, That Idiot, Devilboy, Son Of Sparda<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Style:</b> Dante can't even be said to have a 'style'. He's the kind of guy who throws on whatever's cleanest after rolling out of bed. He's a clean individual, true enough, but as far as looking 'put together'...That just doesn't happen. Though he stands out from the crowd with his almost ridiculous red leather jacket that he's rarely seen without, otherwise he can almost invariably be found in ratty band tshirts and worn jeans with plenty of pockets, because he has a tendence to carry more than he needs.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Noticable Features:</b> Not a one.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Musical Tastes:</b> Dante is a metalhead, plain and simple. Whether it's old school metal like Led Zeppelin and Kiss, or the newer stuff like Lamb of God and Mastodon, he has it. He also fringes into punk with the Misfits and Flogging Molly, and industrial with things like Rotersand and Die Form.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>Weapon Of Choice:</b> Guns, blades, and the occasional blunt object if need be. He doesn't discriminate.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==PERSONALITY==
| + | |
| - | Dante doesn't fall into one archtype, though he'll make you think so. He comes off as an asshole, and in truth, he truly can be, especially if he sees no reason to be 'pleasant'. He has a tendency to push people away, due to the fact that he knows he's a hunted man, and it's just easier that way when he's forced to leave things behind and pick up and move. At this point in time (pre-canon), he doesn't stay in one place long.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | And while it is in his nature to be a complete jackass to people he sees as wasting his time, he also has a bit of a softer side. It's not something he's likely to show in the open, and very few are ever on the recieving end of it (read: [[Vergil]]), but it's there all the same. It typically only presents itself when it's needed, and then, as soon as the situation requiring it is over, he retreats back into his smartass facade, to make himself not seem too 'wussy'.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | He's also a bit of a whiner, and bitches about everything that doesn't go his way. Which is quite often, truth be told. He'll make a mountain out of a moehill, and if no one pays attention to him, he'll only whine louder. He's an attention whore, and it doesn't matter if that attention is negative or positive. He'll claim he wants to be left alone, but if no one pays attention to him, he'll pout and make a scene. This is especially true for his twin brother, [[Vergil]], who is nearly the only person who can send him into an incoherant frothing rage.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | He even has a serious side, which is more often seen publically than his soft side, especially concerning things that interest him. While it's not something he wants broadcasted, he'll become quite irate if he's babied or coddled in any fashion (again, read: [[Vergil]]). While family is important to him, and he likes having the knowledge that his brother is there if Dante needs him, he also throws a tantrum if [[Vergil]] steps across bounds Dante has set (without bothering to let anyone know what they are), he'll raise seven kinds of holy hell for the elder twin sticking his nose in Dante's business.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Dante also has a bit of a martyr complex, and one hell of a deathwish, though these aren't readily noticed. He fights to live, and lives to fight, and for him there is no inbetween. He's not overly violent, no, but if a fight has some purpose, he won't turn it down. Especially if he knows he's the stronger of the contestants. He's not a hero, and he doesn't claim to be, but he'll do what's right according to his own sense of personal honor, and the fact that he leans more heavily to his human side.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==BACKGROUND==
| + | |
| - | Not much is expressly known about Dante's past. He doesn't talk about it, because he figures it's nobody's business but his own. Few outside of his own world realize that he's the youngest twin son of the [[legendary Dark Knight]], [[Sparda]], a demon who turned against his own kind two thousand years previously after awakening to the light and becoming mankind's savior from Hell, and a human woman named [[Eva]]. He has a twin brother, [[Vergil]], though the two don't exactly go out of the way to point out that they are, in fact, identical twins, and even standing side by side, one probably wouldn't realize it at it, as the two have wildly different tastes in clothes and hairstyles.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Sometime during Dante's childhood, his house was invaded and his mother was killed by demons, and he and [[Vergil]] were seperated. Dante was bounced from orphanage to orphanage, most of them Catholic in origin, moved every time it was realized who and what he was. Sometime after he had reached his 'mid-teens', he struck out on his own, leaving the life of a penniless orphan for the life of a penniless drifter.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Not much has changed since then. Dante still wanders where he wants to, without much in the way of money, only just recently having come into a bit of property to house his 'shop', which he calls a paranormal investigation firm. In truth, Dante is a demon hunter, making his living from killing the beings that plague humanity, and are part of half of his heritage. He won't admit to that, however, just as he won't admit to being [[Sparda]]'s son (whom he holds a deep disgust for, as he considers his father abandoned them and that it's partially [[Sparda]]'s fault that [[Eva]] died). And this isn't something the common person would know. There aren't any connections in any solid form from Dante to [[Sparda]], or even to [[Vergil]]; no paper trail whatsoever, and he prefers it that way.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Half of the way Dante acts can be attributed to the things that happened in his past, and half can be because of his heritage, which is something he has yet to gain a complete grasp on. He isn't interested in what he is or really how to use it, he just wants to kill the demons and find the one that took out his mom and end it.

| - | ==IMPORTANT IN-GAME HAPPENINGS==
| + | |
| - | <b>[x]</b> Dante hadn't, according to in-game allusions, seen his brother in a few years before game's start.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>[x]</b> Dante has had an arm ripped off, in the catacombs of [[Rituana]], where he was overrun by grunt demons. [[Vergil]] was the one to patch him up, in what could be considered their most civil and brotherly interaction yet.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>[x]</b> After [[Vergil]] decapitated his maid in the dorm's hallway, leaving behind a sack of live, shaved kittens, Dante took them in and named them. They are One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>[x]</b> Dante is still listed as living in the dorms, but he has since moved into his own apartment in [[Rituana]]. He'll be fined at the end of the semester for room abandonment.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>[x]</b> Dante's shop, back in his homeworld, was broken into and three very important [[grimoire]]s were stolen from him. The culprits were human, as Dante has his shop warded against demonic entities.<br>
| + | |
| - | <b>[x]</b> Recently, there was an altercation between the twins involving a dispute about their mother and [[Arkham]], whom Dante has a deep distrust for. It ended in one of their typical fights, and part of the dorm buildings were destroyed, leading to several students being injured; some severely.
