Character Name: Dante Series: Devil May Cry Timeline: End of Devil May Cry 3 Canon Resource Links:Here!
Original Character Background: N/A
Personality: Dante, like most people, is someone who was shaped by his past. He’s spent much of his life alone in some way or another - alienated by his heritage, the loss of people he’s cared for, having to shoulder the blame of tragedy - and it’s made him someone who’s...difficult to deal with. He hides his hurts with armor made out of crude humor and ego, using jokes and jibes to seem cool and unaffected by what happens around him.
At the surface, it seems like he takes very few things seriously. He reunites with his brother after years of assuming Vergil dead and the first thing he does is crack a joke. He treats the summoning of Temen-ni-gru - something that could very well destroy the world as he knows it - as a party he’s been invited to. It’s all one big joke, so none of it hurts. He’s not bothered by it at all. Nor is he bothered by being branded a demon - after all, a half-truth is still the truth, and he’s gotten some pretty sweet benefits from being half-demon. He can survive being shot in the head, after all, and Lady’s words are just words.
Dante is also someone who plays his cards close to his chest, for as much as he likes to brag and shittalk. He talks a big game, but very little of what he says is important until it becomes relevant. He doesn’t tell Lady why he’s in the Temen-ni-gru until he’s trying to stop her from having to face the monster her father has become - even though telling her before could have possibly changed the way she’s treated him during their climbs through the tower. Most of what he says simply doesn’t have any substance to it and serves his own ego, and there’s very little honesty. He’s not someone you should take at face value, because it’s very likely there’s something he isn’t saying. Because most of what he’s saying is garbage.
At his core, though, Dante is someone who cares. For as much as he acts - and is - a callous jerk, he cares deeply and sincerely about his friends and family. (Probably because there’s not much in those categories.) He cares about Vergil, despite everything, to the point where he cries over his brother’s decision to remain in the Underworld despite insisting that demons can’t cry. He cares about Lady, after a time, and he cares about getting revenge for his mother.
But, you know, he doesn’t want people to know that. He wants people to see him as the wacky, carefree asshole who showboats and manages to back it up. He wants people to see him as a badass. It’s easier that way.

Victory Road Sample:Ssssooo. [The video shows a white haired, blue eyed man - teen? He can’t be any older than 18 - lounging. Slouching. Looking completely uninterested. A honedge hovers just to the side of him, ribbon draped over his shoulders.]
What exactly do I gotta do with this thing? Do I need to polish it? Sharpen it? It can fight, right, so it needs some sort of maintenance, right?
[How do ghost sword.]
...Not like there’s a lot of blacksmiths around, huh?
