Dante
From Desaiuniversity
This Dante is another incarnation of another Dante, once played in Squenix Uni and Fractura Uni, known as Sanctus and 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.

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.
