PFFFFFFFFFFT I DUNNO I JUST. Because he’s a dudebro, but not really?

Because he’s a complicated son-of-a-bitch, but not really?  

Because he seems like a ladies man, but not really?

Because he’s a cheeseball, and he embraces that? 

I dunno, it’s just… Dante’s a big ball of contradictions to me, and it’s compelling as hell to me.  Also, I chose DMC4 Dante because he’s older, has been through a lot, but has changed his attitude (if we’re going by the chronological order of the games) quite a bit.  He went through this moody period and came out on the other end of it with a really cavalier approach to the world, but it’s a lie, really.  And that’s fun times. 

My core headcanon for Dante is that he’s a gregarious, people-person who doesn’t actually want to get involved with people.  He likes being around them but he doesn’t want to know them.  Oh, and he has severe daddy issues - I mean, c’mon.  THAT’S SO MUCH FUN.

⋆ - A ship I have with my character.

Dante/Lady, actually.  Like, I’m not currently playing one out because the Lady I’m eying right now is a raging lesbian [//EYEZOOMS AT BULLETSTORMS] but I love, love, love Dante/Lady as a ship.  In fact, I love Dante with women quite a lot but I have a hard time getting past the angst of the mother’s face to enjoy Dante/Trish very much.  Thus, Dante/Lady is my go-to for DMC canon.  If I had more time I’d go after that in a heartbeat. 

❣ - An unpopular opinion I have

I tend to think it’s what you don’t say in a roleplay thread that marks a person as a strong writer.  I prefer players who show development over long, slowly plotted periods of time rather than fixating too closely on the exact details of what their character is doing at any given moment.  This means I’m not too fond of excessively descriptive writing because those descriptions eventually become irrelevant to me. Chances are I already know what your character looks like; I don’t need a reminder over the course of several consecutive sentences.
