Here is finally my app for Dante.
Name: Mega134
Timezone: EST normally.
NPC Character of Choice: Dante
Game of Origin: Devil May Cry.
Power: Dante is an extremely adept combatant. He is incredibly proficient with any type of weapon, displaying near-mastery of them within moments of picking them up. He is also quite skilled in unarmed combat, managing to disarm and subdue Nero (who is a powerful fighter in his own right) barehanded in their second fight; his hand-to-hand combat skills are also displayed by his usage of gauntlet-style Devil Arms.
Dante's skill with firearms is impeccable. He has displayed enough accuracy to hit targets as small as the pommel of his sword; shoot his opponents' bullets out of mid-air; and hit the same target over and over with such unerring precision that his bullets stack on top of each other. Dante is also shown to have incredible hand-eye coordination; for example, he kicks the Neo-Generator into the statue above the bridge approximately 20 meters away from where he stands in Devil May Cry 3, and kicks the seed of Echidna the She-Viper back at her to get her attention in Devil May Cry 4.
Dante also possesses extraordinary powers far beyond that of any human being and most demons thanks to the blood of his father, The Dark Knight Sparda, running through his veins. Throughout the course of the series Dante has achieved victory over almost all of the powerful demons he's encountered. It's even implied that Dante's power surpasses that of even his father, a notable example being when Dante defeated Griffon for the final time the latter commented,
"[Dante's] are definitely the powers of Sparda. No, even more so."Dante possesses incredible strength. He can shatter stone with little difficulty, and often overpowers demons much larger than himself. Dante's display of superhuman strength and resistance to injury shows that his physical condition is much tougher than that of humans, allowing him to exert his enhanced muscle power to vast proportions without fear of injury or fatigue.
Dante is blindingly fast, able to dash a short distance to dodge attacks, dodge bullets fired at close-range, and move so fast that he appears to teleport. He is extremely agile as well; able to jump to great heights or even balance himself on a flying rocket, as well as run up vertical walls. In addition, his agility allows him to perform amazing feats of acrobatics that easily surpass even the finest human acrobat.
He is able to channel his power into various physical objects, ranging from his guns to the air itself. Dante can also hold his breath indefinitely, or perhaps even breathe underwater, as he can remain submerged for extended periods of time without taking damage or needing to surface for air. Additionally, Dante possesses great resistance to heat, as shown in Devil May Cry 4 when he casually sat on the flaming tail of Berial and came out with little more than a burnt coat.
Dante can heal from nearly any wound within minutes if not seconds; even the Hell Prides were surprised when he ignored their attacks at the beginning of Devil May Cry 3. Dante's durability has been shown to allow him to simply shrug off wounds that would either disable or outright kill a normal Human, such as being impaled through the chest with his own sword (something that happens in almost every game), struck by opponents with superhuman strength (such as when he showed no discomfort when Nero repeatedly punched him in the face with Devil Bringer), or being shot point-blank in the head and stomach.
Dante rarely shows himself to struggle in battle and wins most of his fights with such ease it's as if he was merely toying with his opponent, however his brother Vergil did defeat him once, then again as Nelo Angelo. Nero apparently defeated him at the beginning of Devil May Cry 4, but Dante admitted the battle only ended the way it did because he underestimated Nero. In their second fight Dante soundly defeated Nero and made the latter realize he was being toyed with from the beginning.
In Devil May Cry 4, it is implied that Dante's strength is not just due to his father (his regenerative abilities and physical strength though are purely genetic), but also from his will to protect others. It is suggested that any Demon who possesses the will to protect and love others rather than to simply destroy will gain the full might of their demonic power, though Dante, Vergil, and Nero may simply be exceptions due to possessing both human souls and demonic power.
Weapons: Dante like mentioned above is proficient in most types of weaponry. However there are two weapons he prefers to use over any other.
His handguns Ebony & Ivory: The Ebony & Ivory are his most prized possessions aside from the Rebellion.
Spoiler
Ebony & Ivory are both M1911-style handguns chambered for the .45 ACP round, and boast a plethora of customized features:
Both pistols have been modified with pivot-style triggers as opposed to the 1911's usual straight-pull trigger
Both feature custom sight systems; Ebony uses a set of target sights, while Ivory uses a pair of combat sights
Both feature ported muzzle compensators that reduce recoil and counteract muzzle flip. Both barrels are extend through the compensators and are ported to match the cuts in the compensators.
Both use custom slides that have been noticeably thickened and reinforced along the slide travel rails and around the chamber and firing mechanism. The result is a slide that bears a resemblance to SIG-Sauer's M1911 line.
Rails have been bolted to the forward portion of both frames. These rails are used to hold the compensators in place.
Both use double-stack magazines with slam-pads.
Both have gold-plated magazine releases, hammers, safety switches and triggers.
Ebony features a hooked, two-handed trigger-guard, while Ivory uses a more traditional rounded trigger-guard.
Both weapons use ergonomic wood grips which are inlaid with portraits of Victorian women; as befits their names, Ebony's is dark-haired, and Ivory's is fair-haired.
Ebony's Ejection port is located on the left side of the weapon, as opposed to the right side (as Ebony is meant to be used left-handed, this causes spent brass to be ejected away from Dante.)
Rebellion:
The Rebellion is a Devil Arm. A Devil Arm is a weapon either made from a demons energy, or a demons soul. Devil Arm's are much stronger than normal humans weapons, and are one of the only things actually capable of hurting demons significantly as fire-arms are not very effective against demons. Devil Arm's cannot easily be broken as they take TREMENDOUS amounts of physical, and demonic power to break, and even more power to repair.
Spoiler
The Rebellion is especially important to Dante, as it was an heirloom passed down to him from his father. The Rebellion is a 2 handed claymore that thanks to his strength he can wield single handedly, and with relative ease. As a Devil Arm it's incredibly effective against most opponents. Especially demons.
Weaknesses: Even though none is explicitly stated, Dante does have obvious weaknesses. Dante is arrogant and cocky, and despite powerful enough to take on any foe he comes across he can get a little too ahead of himself. Dante also as a half-demon and having demonic blood in his veins is effected by weapons of holy or demonic origins, and light and dark magic. Being attacked by weapons of such attributes deals more damage than normal, and even though he has a high pain tolerance attacks from these weapons can kill him if he is either attacked faster than he can heal or is attacked with enough force would cause significant damage and would take a bit longer to heal. Complete decapitation or complete destruction of his entire head (and in turn brain)can also kill him. However getting shot/stabbed in the head (as seen in DMC 3 when Lady shot him point blank in the head with a handgun and he just shrugged it off.) Approach Dante with caution. Use weapons that would normally be strong against demons such as demonic/holy weapons, and light/dark magic as wounds from those kind of weapons take slightly longer to heal and do significantly more damage to him. Not only that, but when it comes to things outside of combat he tends to have incredibly bad luck. Especially with gambling.
Appearance:
He stands at 6ft 3.
Personality: Earlier in the series' story, Dante is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of demons, and he generally enjoys rubbing people the wrong way. He does mature as time goes by, but never really loses his attitude. Dante is sometimes presented as a show off as, on several occasions, he performs exaggerated and over-the-top moves. Dante is seemingly unflappable, not showing fear whether he's being attacked by the Seven Hells in his office or being swallowed by a giant serpentess demon. With the exception of Devil May Cry 2, Dante rarely shows any seriousness. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but he still maintains a laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Dante can seem at times to be uncaring or even callous, but actually has a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fairly. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes cynical quips about it the entire time. Unusually, while he has issues with his own demonic side, Dante has little qualms about accepting demons that choose the side of good, such as Trish and Bradley. Though Dante is quoted as believing that "Humans are often worse than demons" in the anime, he refuses to kill full-blooded humans for any reason. Dante values family and friends very highly. He cared deeply for his mother and, despite their differences, for his brother, Vergil. Even after all the fighting the two did over the course of Devil May Cry 3, Dante still tries to save Vergil from falling into the Demon World, and goes so far as to cry over losing him.
Dante also enjoys fighting, shown when he sometimes does not fight at his full potential so he can toy with his opponent or make a fight last longer. In the anime, Dante gets bored with fighting weak opponents and finds entertainment in fighting strong opponents who will give him a challenge. Dante's enjoyment of fighting was reflected in his dialogue with Echidna during which he asked her if she agreed with him that a fight every now and then makes life more interesting.
Despite verbally complaining about being in debt, Dante seems quite willing to perform missions solely for the good of them, and rarely enforces payment from poor clients. In fact, Dante will typically refuse any job he dislikes, regardless of how much it pays, but will immediately take on any paranormal cases, especially those involving demon hunting, with or without pay. Many of his clients take advantage of this good nature of his, and leave bills for property damage caused during the mission instead of paying for his services. He often borrows from Lady or gambles to repay these debts. However, he has extremely bad luck with all forms of gambling (Dante even has bad luck with a simple coin toss), and loses any game not involved with demon hunting. As a result, he is horribly in debt to Lady, and is often left with no money at all after she takes her cut. However, in Devil May Cry 4 Lady actually pays him a small amount for his "assistance", implying that he no longer owed her money.
Dante has a fondness for pizza, and while he complains about olives, he always ends up with them on his pizza. His liking for pizza was added because the director believes that pizza is the "best food ever". He also enjoys strawberry sundaes, and he also has a habit of getting roaring drunk when there is nothing to do.
Morality: He may not act like it, but he is an honest good. He will always do the right thing, even though he does not seem to care.
Biography: Dante is the son of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda and Eva, and is the twin brother of Vergil. At a young age Dante had been a pretty happy, yet rebellious kid. He always got into sparring fights with his brother. Sometime before Dante and Veril's eighth birthday, Eva gave Dante and Vergil each a half of the Perfect Amulet. Eventually, Sparda died, and Eva and the twins were left alone. When Dante was eight years old, he and his family were attacked by demons. Eva was killed, and though both Vergil and Dante survived, the twins were separated, and Dante believed Vergil to have died.
After that happened Dante had grown up, and eventually went into the demon hunting business. He eventually opened up his shop (which didn't have a name yet.) Dante ever since had gone through many life saving, and even tear jerking moments. He had saw his brother who he had met up once more fall into the demon realm, he had stopped Mundus once more, and named his shop Devil May Cry. Dante's reputation as a Demon Hunter grew after the several times he had stopped world threatening demon attacks.
Since the Horizon Incident he found himself in China along with his old friend Lady. With her he had opened up a new Devil May Cry with Lady in China. One day though he had actually managed to get lucky and won a trip to Hawaii (which was actually a trap originally devised by an old foe of his the Jester.) While he was there he had enjoyed his stay, and met a shinigami by the name of Komachi. After he met Komachi he had quickly became friends with her. They had since gone to China where his home was. However their stay was not long. After Komachi realized that the Devourer was attacking Dante and Komachi quickly made it to Gensokyo only to find that the Devourer was defeated.
Dante didn't get to fight, but he did get to enjoy the celebration afterwards... even though he made the cute little Inu Sakuya cry he quickly got her to quiet down after giving her some candy. Now Dante lives in Gensokyo for the time being while Lady runs his shop back home. Dante is still friends with Komachi, and even enjoys training with the locals of Gensokyo. Now that it's one day away from Christmas Dante is trying to find out a good gift for Komachi.
Traumas: Easily his mother being attacked and killed by demons, and his brother falling into the Demon Realm during the incident with the Temen-ni-Gru which even brought him to tears.
Notes: None that I can think of except that I did nerf him by giving him actual weaknesses.
Oh and his theme:
He stands at 6ft 1
He stands at 5ft 5
Stands at 6ft 0.
