Any differences: Since white hair and ice-blue eyes are rather unusual for a normal type human, going with overall the same facial/physical structure, but hazel eyes and light brown hair. Also likely thinner and not quite so muscular, at least not yet, given his living situation and lack of demonic blood to influence it.

Preincarnated History: Wiki for a more in-depth view.

Dante's history began with his father, a devil who 2,000 years ago betrayed the demon king Mundus, and switched sides to fight for and preserve humanity, rather than destroy it. That act would paint the future for his twin sons, Vergil and Dante.

For Dante, his father had vanished before he could remember him, and his mother was left to raise the boys on her own. Around the twins' eighth birthday they were attacked, Eva, their mother, brutally slain while attempting to protect Dante, and Vergil disappearing, seemingly also dead. From that day forth Dante vowed revenge upon those that had slaughtered his mother and brother, and devoted his life to hunting demons.

After that point it seems unlikely that he'd have been raised by anyone else. It's never mentioned in canon and Dante keeps the details of his past to himself. He was probably homeless for quite some time until he got old enough, and talented enough, to find some footing in the darker underbelly of society. Going by novel canon (which is somewhat out of the canon timeline now but can serve as an aid to understanding the past) he worked as a mercenary for hire for quite a while. Pulling odd jobs as a bodyguard and thug, but never an assassin. He didn't like assassination jobs, and wasn't okay with killing even then.

At some point he met up with Enzo, an enterprising Italian who ran Love Planet, and also decided to hire Dante out as muscle. Of course getting Dante to take jobs proved to be a task in itself, but it was through Enzo that Dante hoped to establish his business as a demon hunter and eventually have his revenge on those that had killed his mother. It was one of Enzo's jobs that started him down that very path, in fact.

It all began with a job to locate a missing girl. Simple enough, until it proved that the girl had been taken by demons, even worse the job itself had been a setup. A way to draw Dante down the rabbit hole so to speak, bring him into contact with his long lost brother. After so long apart it wasn't a surprise that the twins no longer saw eye to eye, and with Vergil having chosen to embrace his demonic heritage, that solidified the growing animosity and rivalry between them.

After unveiling his plot to free seven demons that their father had imprisoned as gatekeepers Vergil disappeared. One year later he showed up again, the first stage of his plan completed when Temen-ni-gru, a gigantic tower that served as a gateway into the demon world awoke and rose through the earth's surface, destroying all in its path. Vergil sought to open the gates to Hell to return to the demon world, as well as claim Sparda's power that had been used to seal it in the first place.

Arkham, a human obsessed with demonic power that had been helping and urging Vergil on his path, predictably had been manipulating Vergil as well as Dante, and his own daughter Lady, into helping him achieve that very goal. He swiped Sparda's power for himself, or a gross representation of it, only to be defeated in short order by the twins. With him out of the way, they battled one last time just within the demon realm. But this time it was Dante who would be the victor, because behind him it was not greed or revenge that drove him but the necessity of saving the human world from the horrors that leaving the gate open cause. Vergil left Force Edge, their father's sword, with Dante then leaped into Hell to remain.

Dante returned to the human world, heart heavy with the loss of his twin yet again, and now carrying the burden of a mighty big mess to clean up. However, he wasn't alone in that task as Lady decided to join him. Since, you know, maybe not all demons were completely terrible.

After the events at Temen-ni-gru another ten years would pass before anything of true significance would happen. This time Dante would have his chance at genuine revenge, in the form of a new job brought to him by a mysterious woman that, strangely enough, wore the face of his mother. And the strength of a devil, considering she chucked a motorcycle at him, talk about rude. This job led him to Mallet Island, where Mundus had set in motion not only plans to break into the human world, but to also eliminate the last remnant of the blood-traitor Sparda: Trish, the mysterious woman was a pawn of his sent to lure him into the trap.

Nelo Angelo, the altered form of his captured brother was used as a weapon against him. After multiple battles Dante defeated the strange dark knight, only then to realize who it truly was. Grief stricken he continued with the new power granted him by his brother, the completed amulet that opened the gateway to Hell, and an even greater reason to fulfill his quest for revenge. In the end he was able to defeat Mundus, and had even impressed Trish so much that she nearly died trying to save him. In turn he took her with him as they escaped the collapsing island, later making her his business partner.

They later part ways for a time, Trish deciding they would do better work that way. Dante continued working as a devil hunter, taking jobs from both Lady and his new agent, Morrison. One job in particular put him as the body guard (baby sitter) of one Patty Lowell, a little orphan girl who supposedly had come into a sum of money from her deceased father. Of course as it turned out it was a ruse to protect the true daughter, but Patty became a bit of a staple at the Devil May Cry office regardless. Various events surrounding Patty's past involving her mother and the reasons behind her abandonment, as well as a conniving demon by the name of Sid eventually resulted in the revival of a devil whose power reportedly challenged even that of the demon king's.

Dante of course defeated him, being quite the bad ass that he was. Cleaning up nasty demon messes was really just par for the course by then.

Another year(ish) later Lady brought him a new job, this one to the castle town of Fortuna where the people there worshiped Sparda as a god. Worshiping a demon as a god was strange enough, but they were doing odd things like collecting Devil Arms, living weapons often forged out of demon souls, and constructing Hell Gates. Rather strange behavior for a group of people claiming to be demon hunters and otherwise peaceful. By offering up the sword Sparda, Trish managed to join the Order of the Sword and infiltrate to collect some rather troubling information.

The cult was using demons for experimentation, making their own weaponized devils and evil fusing their soldiers with demons, in a sense making half demons out of humans. Dante assassinated the leader, Sanctus, but that was only the beginning of the trouble. He was put through the ceremony to infuse him with devil powers, bringing him back to life and granting him even greater power.

Along the way Dante met with Nero, a kid with the Sparda family trademark white hair, and a Devil Arm of his own, literally. His arm was demonic, but unlike the others who had gone through the process willingly Nero didn't understand the nature of his arm or why it had come to pass. Dante may, but he's not telling anyone. Elusive jerk.

While at first Nero thought Dante the trouble maker, he later discovered the Order's plans and sought to take them down. With Dante and Trish's help they manage to take down Sanctus and his living statue of the Savior, a towering construction made in the image of Sparda. Dante passed Yamato on to Nero, the blade obviously having selected him as its new owner, and returned home after a job well done.

Lady even paid him this time. A tiny bit, but anything that isn't a bill from Lady is unusual.

Where exactly in Dante's timeline the events of Devil May Cry 2 take place aren't expressly stated. It may be a few years, it may be many after the events in Fortuna. Once again Dante meets a mysterious woman, but this time she's after the same thing he is: A strange medallion being kept at a museum. Lucia invites him to help her with a mission at her home, Dumary Island, where they meet Matier, Lucia's mother who apparently knew and once fought alongside Sparda. Which lends one to wonder exactly how old she really is because that happened over 2000 years ago?

Anyway, it's revealed the power-hungry business man Arius is attempting to harness demonic power (it's always demons) to take over the world. After a lot of butt kicking and demon slaying Dante makes his way through the city on the island to Arius' tower. Lucia, having gone ahead, was captured, and Dante trades the medallion they'd obtained from the museum for her life. She's understandably concerned, as their having that artifact was the only thing keeping Arius from completing his ritual for immortality.

Of course, Dante had a trump card up his sleeve. He'd switched the medallion for a coin that he often tossed when deciding on whether or not to take a job. The ritual failed, and Arius was slain. However, the rift had been opened and Dante had to enter the demon world to stop the spread. There Dante fights a nasty demon summoned by Arius' ritual, Argosax. After a tough battle Argosax was also defeated, however the portal to the human world had closed behind Dante. Instead of despairing, however, he mounts a motorcycle (that magically appeared?) and decides to head deeper into the demon world. Might as well take the fight to them, right?

It is never exactly stated whether or not he returns from that last trip.


Reincarnated History: In a parallel to his past life, Tony lost his parents in a car accident he was witness to, but thankfully not directly involved in, when he was around eight or nine years old. That terrible event was also the trigger for his first echo, but given the situation at the time and how long before the network would even exist it went mostly forgotten and unmentioned.

Not having any close relatives or next of kin able to take him in, he became a ward of the state. Tony didn't take too well to all of the life changes, new home, new family he didn't ask for, and the loss of his parents all conspired together to make him incredibly difficult to deal with. He was quickly labeled a problem child, and shuffled around between foster homes whenever he wasn't actively running away. The foster families certainly tried their best with him, but it wasn't to be so simple. Eventually after running away a few too many times and causing a few too many problems at home, he slipped through the cracks and disappeared into the streets on his own.

It was a hard life, more of a challenge than he could have imagined, but he was a stubborn boy and refused to return to the foster system. He felt he didn't belong there and at least his chosen life gave him a few more freedoms than he experienced elsewhere. He'd been at it for a few years before he ran into Dirk, a boy who would surprisingly become his best friend. With his help and influence he began to try to turn himself away from some of his more criminal activities, instead finding more constructive means of getting cash. Rather than stealing it out of the pockets of the unsuspecting.

Somewhat more recently, he finally got a break. A man who owned a junk shop/recycled art shop took him in, offering cash for any scavenged goods that he could either refurbish or turn into art and the shed at the back of the shop as a place to stay. He didn't quite trust Tony enough to let him stay in the shop itself, but he outfitted the place to make it comfortable enough, and honestly the teen was happy. He had a solid place to go, heat, and pay for his hard work. It was a step, and hopefully a promise for a better future.

First Echo: Tony's first echo was the death of his parents, paralleling that of his past life. Unfortunately since the event happened long before the network became a thing, and the event itself was such a distraction, it took him many years to finally act upon the strange string of numbers he couldn't quite forget. And the grand prize for this horrible echo? A horrible memory! Yes, the memory of some woman's noble sacrifice to save Tony (Dante) from the demons (he will likely only recall them as monsters and not really recall what they are) that came to kill them all. Suffice it to say it was a really bad day.

Preincarnation Personality: Dante was the very definition of a 'devil-may-care' attitude. He often came off as extremely aloof and uncaring, though deep down he harbored a strong sense of honor and justice. Unlike his brother Vergil, Dante embraced the human side of his heritage, choosing to fight for and defend humans while trying to deny his demonic side. He made it a point to try not to kill humans for any reason, even if they proved to be evil, though there had been exceptions. No unnecessary killing, that's his viewpoint.

Ever the grand performer, Dante rarely missed an opportunity to put on a good show, even if the only audience was himself. He had a great talent for the theatrical and dramatic, sometimes taking it way overboard. Some of these acts fed into his cold aloof persona, where he wore the face of the stone-cold mercenary but underneath it all he had a heart of gold. He wouldn't let someone suffer, even if they couldn't afford his fees, if he felt a job was legitimate he'd take it regardless and not charge them a dime.

There were times he could be exceptionally childish as well, throwing tantrums when things didn't go his way and taking it out on his jukebox, his inability to handle money and constantly being in debt. Even his love of strawberry sundaes and pizza. All in all, he was kind of a big kid, and never completely lost that.

Though he claimed to be a 'Jack of all trades' and worked as an investigator as well as devil hunter often he would pretend to be disinterested in an offered job, especially if it didn't offer good pay, though he usually ended up investigating anyway. Unfortunately for him people took advantage of his good nature and didn't always pay, or ended up charging him instead for the property destroyed. That resulted in a fairly massive debt, not that Dante seemed to really mind it too much, it gave him something to complain about.

Though he matured greatly over the years, Dante remained ever the sarcastic rebel. Rarely did he display much in the way of seriousness, and even less often was he caught without a sarcastic remark (or several). He was notorious for absolutely terrible jokes, but that never stopped him from making them. Despite his dark past and even darker profession, Dante was remarkably quite the optimist. As he said, there's no use being all gloomy over a situation, and the worse it is is just more reason to go out with a bang.

For all of his optimism and care-free sarcasm, Dante was ever plagued by the loss of his mother and twin brother, Vergil. His mother's death, and his subsequent desire for revenge were the main reason he chose his life path of demon hunting, to protect others from the same fate. He was ever at war with himself over his demonic blood and extremely reluctant to accept it, much less embrace it, even if it did give him the strength to wage his personal war on Hell. The duality kept him ever at odds with himself, though Dante craved very much to be human, deep down he knew he couldn't be, leaving him secretly quite lonely.

He had very few friends, and those he did have he still managed to keep at arm's length. It was rare for Dante to give an honest answer to personal questions, unless he could word it in such a way as to make it difficult to decipher exactly what he was implying. Even though his own elusiveness frequently caused him more grief than protected him, he never quite dropped the habit.

His twin's disappearance into the Underworld, and later death at Dante's own hands also weighed very heavily on his heart. The events at Fortuna and the discovery of Nero offered some small amount of closure for the past. Though he could never have his brother again, Dante was content to know he had not only finally retrieved Yamato, but left it in worthy hands. Nero would be the one to further carry Dante's father's legacy into the future, and he couldn't have made a better choice.

Any differences: Tony remains flippant and as devil-may-care as ever, taking things in stride and rarely being phased by anything. Even talking dirt pictures, no matter how weird they may be. But given that he hasn't been raised in quite the same degree of danger, violence, and fear, he's a little more laid-back over all, and considerably less prone to violence and aggression himself. Though some of that behavior likely tied into his past heritage as much as the circumstances of how he grew up.

He also has less reason to be quite as secretive and elusive as he had been in his former life, not being a half-breed with the entirety of Hell out to kill him and all. While still reserved as far as personal information goes Tony is more socially outgoing, willing to talk and get to know people if they're willing to talk to him. His social status at times hinders that, but he possesses a natural almost childish charm to him that sometimes works in his favor.

He's quite adventurous, willing to take the risks to try or learn something new, and not easily discouraged by failure. Failure just means it's time to approach from a different angle and try again. Where there's a will there's always a way, even if sometimes that way is somewhat largely frowned upon by society. That isn't to say he acts as a criminal intentionally, but he has a somewhat more loose moral base than some. Especially when he's hungry. However if he can find more honest means of getting by then he's more than happy to do so.

Unfortunately for him he still possesses some of that rebel without a cause mentality from his past life, which can definitely get him into a lot of trouble when it comes to dealing with authority. Which is to say, he's bad at it, and really terrible at taking orders. That little problem is largely why he is where he is now, he'd rather stick to his guns and freedoms than suck it up and put up with a foster home.

However, his time with Dirk has largely helped to encourage him away from the path he'd been heading down when they first met, and he sought different means of making pocket change. With a bit of athletic talent he's taken up a degree of parkour for his own enjoyment and the occasional tip, as well as various entertaining little tricks like hand stands and the like. Besides, that's a lot more fun than picking pockets!

Abilities: This is going to be so long wow I am sorry. Providing links to simplify!

Basic abilities: Dante is both a skilled marksman and swordsman, as well as capable of remarkable feats of athleticism. He regularly displays the ability to leap long distances (in a single bound!), and land on his feet after falling from heights that would result in broken legs for a normal human. His half-demon lineage plays a huge role in his abilities: granting him great strength (he punches a statue to dust), alarming durability and healing capacity (sword through the chest is a running joke with DMC), and remarkable speed (he reacts to, and disables, a missile shot at his face).

There is a limit, of course, to how much damage he can take. The more injured he becomes the slower and less he is able to heal from it without a rest in between, so he's not so super human that he can't die. It's just really, really hard to kill him. When he takes a significant amount of damage all at once (again the sword to the chest sheesh) he seems to pass/black out for a bit before he can get going again.

He also appears to possess at least some heightened senses. Spacial perception and speedier vision, as it is stated that many demons move far faster than human eyes can see, not to mention he's able to shoot accurately over his shoulder without looking. A heightened sense of smell is indicated in DMC4 when Dante notices Dagon by his stench before he even sees him, he is also sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. Per the novel (Which is somewhat removed from the canon timeline, I do still use it as a basis for the origin of his guns, and to help flesh out some of his past and what makes Dante who he is.) he is stated to be able to see souls as they leave the bodies of those recently deceased. Dante can also occasionally focus his energy into an object to give it a little boost in power (such as Lady's motorcycle), this... usually results in the explosion of said thing (also Lady's motorcycle. Oops.) [This section italicized for possibly being headcanon, though it does have some small bits of canon proof.]

Devil Trigger: In addition to his demon-power related abilities Dante has a devil form he can take for a short period of time. This form, called Devil Trigger, greatly increases his durability, speed, strength, and healing factor. The cost of this is a drain of his stored energy reserves, as such he is only able to maintain Devil Trigger for a short period of time, and it takes time to build enough power to perform it. There have been times where he has involuntarily shifted, such as when in extreme duress or when he comes into contact with particularly powerful demonic energies.

Styles: Dante uses several different skill sets or "Styles" during combat. These focus on a particular method of fighting and allow him special abilities. In DMC 3 he is unable to switch readily between these, but by DMC 4 he is able to switch readily between them. Likely he will have to go through a growth phase similar to that in StE should he be accepted.

Trickster: His default Style. Its primary focus is on speed and evasion, allowing for swift maneuvers out of harm's way. This style allows Dante rapid dashes, the ability to leap off of nearby walls for evasion, and even a short-range teleport towards foes called Air Trick.

Swordmaster: Another one of his default styles. This one focuses on flashy and powerful additional attacks with his melee weapons, such as an areal attack with Rebellion, and a rapid short-range attack with Cerberus.

Gunslinger: Like Swordmaster, Gunslinger is focused on adding additional attacks to his weapons, this time to his (surprise!) guns.

Royal Guard: This Style focuses heavily on defense, lightning quick reflexes, and perfect timing. With it Dante is able to block and redirect damage toward his foes, provided he's quick enough to react. Blocked attacks allow him to build energy and adrenaline (Rage), perfectly blocked attacks negate incoming damage and build even faster. Once he has enough he is able to release that energy all at once in a brutal attack capable of demolishing lesser demons in a single blow. Particularly skilled blocks can even restore his own life energy.

There are a couple additional styles that are not his defaults it's possible he may be able to obtain:

Quicksilver: Obtained from Geryon the Timesteed, this powerful Style allows temporary control of time. It sends out a dimensional time-rift, or bubble, in Dante's direct vicinity that slows all time around him, while allowing him to move at even faster speeds than normal. It only lasts a short while, and drains his stored devil power while activated. As such he makes a sacrifice between being able to Trigger, or use Quicksilver.

Doppelganger: Obtained after the defeat of a demonic mirror of his own shadow, this style allows Dante to summon a shadowy copy of himself that helps him to fight for a short period of time. It also puts him into his Devil Trigger state, rapidly consuming energy but negating the healing and increased battle prowess effects.

Dark Slayer: Useable only with Yamato, Vergil's weapon. Dark Slayer was Vergil's trademark, and only style, which Dante learned to adopt later in life while using Yamato. He is able to mimic some of the unique techniques of that blade, including slicing through dimensional barriers to decimate foes.

It's likely these last three styles may never come into play, but I figured I'd put them down just in case.

Devil Arms come in to play mostly with Swordmaster Style, and a little with Gunslinger depending on the Devil Arm in question. By no means do I expect, nor want, Tony to obtain all of his past Devil Arms because wow that would be a huge headache to manage. He will need a few to be particularly effective, and I'm going to list them here as a reference since I have no idea what might happen in game.

Swords:

Rebellion is perhaps the most important weapon in Dante's arsenal. It is a relic left behind by his father and a physical manifestation of his own power. Rebellion is his Devil Arm, unlike the others which are usually the souls or remains of defeated devils. Rebellion grants a few special skills such as Air Hike, the ability to leap off of the air after jumping. Later on he becomes able to use this skill regardless of weapon in use. In Swordmaster Style he is able to use Rebellion to perform many swift, devastating attacks, as well as focus his own power through the blade. This is also the only weapon that returns to his hand when called upon, likely because it is his own.

Alastor is the soul of a lightning/air based demon, that challenges Dante to survive it impaling him through the chest. Once he proves his strength the sword obeys him. Dante uses Alastor in much the same way he uses Rebellion, them being very similar weapons, but Alastor lacks the amount of versatility. He also gains Air Hike from this one. The blade also gives him the ability for limited flight when in Devil Trigger.

Agni and Rudra are a pair of scimitar-like blades possessing wind and fire capabilities. Together they are the "firestorm". Agni and Rudra are one of the few weapons that still display sentience, entirely capable of speech and in fact tend to annoy Dante on frequent occasion by refusing to shut up. As with all weapons they gain special attacks with Swordmaster, such as an attack called Twister in which Dante can slash a swath of fire before him. This weapon also grants Air Hike.

Yamato is actually Vergil's sword. Another remnant left behind by their father, Yamato grants the Dark Slayer style to Dante, but otherwise functions much like a normal if extremely durable O Katana. Swordmaster is not available with Yamato, as it is necessary to be in Dark Slayer to use it.

The Sword of Sparda is the awakened form of Force Edge, Sparda's original sword. Many of the attacks Dante uses with this blade are similar to Rebellion, but it also possesses a metamorphosing quality, in which it can also act as a scythe at the same time. This blade also allowed Dante to take the form of Sparda when Devil Triggered, granting even greater capabilities than normal. He summons dragons guys it's pretty badass. Also incredibly overpowered and will probably never be seen again because even Dante knows that having Sparda around is a terrible idea.

Gauntlets:

Ifrit grants the wielder command over devastating hell flame and brutal crushing attacks, after first challenging the would be wielder for their very life. Wearing this Devil Arm while in Devil Trigger grants even more fire-based skills, such as throwing fire balls at enemies and surrounding oneself with flame.

Beowulf is a set of gauntlets and greaves that carry light properties. Rather unusual for a devil weapon, but demons in Devil May Cry rarely make much sense. Attacks with gauntlets are slow, but powerful, and Swordmaster offers even more devastating blows.


Gilgamesh is the gauntlet set from Devil May Cry 4, as fabulously flashy as it is deadly. Gilgamesh offers many of the same attacks from Devil May Cry 3, with the addition of being able to focus energy into the spur blades on the feet or the drills on the gauntlets themselves to obliterate foes. Again as with all gauntlets Gilgamesh is much slower than swords.

Miscellaneous weapons:

One of the first Devil Arms Dante obtained from a defeated foe, Cerberus takes the form of a tripartate nunchaku with an icy disposition. This weapon provides for swift slightly longer range attacks, and with the help of Swordmaster Dante can unleash it's truly chilling capabilities, such as summoning great shards of ice to immobilize and slice his foes.


The conquered soul of the storm witch, Nevan strangely enough takes the form of a shape shifting guitar. Part guitar, part scythe, part bat summoning awesome, this weapon is ideal for mid-range attacks. It allows Dante to keep more powerful foes at a safer distance while at the same time he's able to close in on ranged type enemies faster. Many of Nevan's attacks rely on summoned bats rather than the weapon itself, but in close quarters the scythe capabilities can offer a vicious surprise. Nevan's element is lightning, and in Devil Trigger allows Dante limited flight like Alastor.

A soul straight out of legend, Lucifer is a rather unique artifact. It appears to almost be a backpack, with two raised "arms" that provide an endless arsenal of short swords. These swords work best as piercing weapons, but their true potential lies in setting them as traps rather than using them directly. Upon command up to fifteen blades can be detonated at once, unfortunate for whatever poor soul gets caught in the blast. They can also be commanded to move on their own to a degree, honing in on a focused target.

Guns: Thankfully the guns are a little more straight forward and simple than the Devil Arms, phew. Also not going to worry about the bulk of them because odds are I won't ask for them for any reason, and most are redundant.

Ebony and Ivory, Dante's trademark firearms. A pair of custom pistols able to withstand the brutal punishment Dante deals to them, as well as being able to focus his energy directly into bullets. They're very heavy duty, and unique in one being black and one being silver.

Coyote-A is a pretty standard sawed-off shotgun, like many others in the series. This one just so happens to have a name. Gunslinger allows for a few fancier moves, but overall doesn't change the function of the gun.

Artemis is a mysterious, demonic weapon that fires arrows instead of bullets. While slow to reload and fire, it is capable of shooting multiple arrows at once (up to three) and the arrows can occasionally stun enemies. Gunslinger gives a few different attacks, such as a charged laser shot or a rain of arrows.

Nightmare-β is another odd, demonic laser gun. It uses Dante's demonic energy directly to fire lasers that ricochet off of solid objects, making them very difficult to avoid. Like Artemis it can fire multiple beams at once, but is unaffected by Gunslinger Style.

Perhaps the most devastating firearm in Dante's arsenal, the legendary Pandora's box, or briefcase in this instance. This one is actually a Devil Arm rather than a devil weapon, and as such possessed the heightened powers offered by the type. It is rumored to have 666 different forms, Dante is only able to unlock 7, but those 7 are brutal enough. It can take many different shapes, anywhere from a bow gun, a gatling gun, a massive missile launcher, or its ultimate attack "Omen" which unleashes an inescapable flash of light that blasts enemies for massive damage.

Roleplay Sample - Third Person: Since the rest of this application became absolutely massive and unwieldly, I'm going to provide a link to a thread for ease! Here is Tony and Dirk's first meeting.


Roleplay Sample - Network: Written in the dirt (not kidding).

Well isn't this a surprise? You know, taking hallucinogens wasn't on my to-do list for the near future, but I guess everyone makes mistakes every now and then. I've learned a valuable lesson today: when someone hands you some funky hippy water full of leaves that they insist is good for you, don't drink it.

So, since I'm suddenly the Dirt Whisperer, how about you regale me with your earthy wisdom while I sit in the park and enjoy the trip? Let's kill some time before this wears off and I end up with the nastiest hangover I've ever had.

Here, I'll start with some easy questions:

Why is the sky blue? What's the meaning of life? What language does Mister Mumbles speak when he yells at people walking by? And most importantly, what the hell is going on?


Any Questions? Yes! In regards to the Devil Arms, since they aren't simply forged weapons and are actually the manifested form of the souls of defeated devils, will that cause any issues with a few of them being brought in at a later time? Rebellion specifically as that one is technically part of Dante's soul, and he'll probably need it if he's going to tap into his demonic power eventually.
