Character: Dante Sparda | strawberryredgrave
Canon: post Devil May Cry 5

About: Dante's a fun loving manchild who constantly exudes fun uncle energy. He's cool, he's goofy, he's a giant dork and also enjoys having a good time. Beneath the veil is a man coping with fears and learning to open up more, especially as his relationship with Lady becomes more serious. While he enjoys fights and showing off his talents, he's a man who genuinely cares about people and helping out however he can, even if he's not direct with his intentions. Dante's still learning how to talk about his feelings.

Abilities: Oh boy, Dante has a lot of abilities. Let's just summarize them a bit:

Demon origins: He's a half demon and son of an incredibly powerful demon of legend, Sparda. And since demons where he's from gain power off of human blood, being half and half means things like living off of rule of cool, being incredibly strong, treating fatal injuries like they're inconveniences, some control of magic and whatnot? It's all pretty normal for him. Granted, most people in the DMC universe live off of Rule of Cool, but Dante gets IC reasoning for it.

Devil Trigger/Sin Devil Trigger: By embracing his demonic half, Dante can take a more demonic appearance that greatly amplifies his physical attributes. Sin Devil Trigger is the stronger version of devil trigger with a different appearance and even unique abilities of its own.

Style changing: Being the master of combat that he is, Dante generally divides his abilities into four styles: Swordmaster, Gunslinger, Trickster and Royal Guard. One is melee, one is guns, one is movement and another is defense. All of them let him wield his weapons in different ways to change up his approach to combat.

Dreamotion: So it comes up here and there, but Dante's ability revolves around turning himself or others into living weapons for people to wield, called Devil Arms. They'll be based on the person's abilities and need to be willing to be wielded by someone for them to work or even change into them. Wielding Dante as a weapon, for example, increases someone's physical capabilities greatly, gives a mass boost of confidence and the ability to make anything you do look cool.

PLANS
General: Dante's happily running a business with his new partner, Blitz, that focuses on bodygard work, noctaere hunting and the like. While they can't agree on a name, Dante calls it DMC: IMP (Devil May Cry: the Immediate Murder Professionals). It's been forcing him to be more careful and take proper precautions since he's not working by himself anymore.

Hopefully, he learns to better himself enough so he can relax and enjoy the relationship he's getting into.

Dream Board: Dark Crystals: Studying them is whatever for him, but people might need protection while going out there. That's what DMC: IMP can handle well.

Event: Since Dante's basically a cartoon character, he might just have his fun wherever he can, in-depth bodyguard work like dressing up as Not So Red Riding Hood to deliver the package.

CR Dreams: Let Dante adopt you or be your cool uncle! Or if you wanna join a friend group of sad people figuring themselves out by fighting life threatening dangers, he might invite you to join Devil May Cry! Or just go drinking with him.

Etc.:
