the hellhound
if you're into evil, you're a friend of mine.
out of the frying pan and into the fire...
Dante was born from hellfire, in the form of a large black dog... he rose from the brimstone along with his fiery brothers. His sole purpose was to serve his master, Lucifer, by bringing hell-bound souls to the underworld. There is no exact date of his birth, no true parents, only the devil and his pack. With time, he was taught to shift into a humanoid form, so the hound could roam the earth undetected. He became a favorite of Lucifer, and toppled the ranks and titles his brothers sought. Dante was one of the most talented hounds, and he'd earned the title of alpha despite always feeling like a lone wolf. Perhaps Lucifer favored him because he was so different, and he continues to grant Dante privledges that the rest of the pack could never dream of having. Despite these little mercies, Dante is always reminded if he steps too far out of line- - Lucifer can yank the leash at anytime. When he's called upon, a burning scar will wrap around his throat like a vice, symbolic of the iron collar he'd worn throughout the passage of time.
monsters need love too.
A demon dog shouldn't want anything more than to sink his teeth into sinners, and toss them into the devil's maw. But Dante couldn't shake his longing. He spent a good amount of time roaming the earth as a human, travelling the United States with nothing to his name but a motorcycle that broke down too often, and an attitude that got him punched in dive bars. To keep roaming dogs humble, Lucifer assigned them areas of the living realm to watch over, sometimes even specific cases. Amidst the grime and crime of New York in 1990-- something, he gets tethered to a killer by the name of Lucien Darling. Dante immediately takes a liking to the dhampir with a knack for cutting down hellbound, opinionated assholes. Around the 16th victim he collects, Dante asks Lucien out for a drink. Around the 18th, they're knocking boots. Thus, a union is created for as long as Lucien would mind keeping the hound around. In 2014, Dante meets a pyrokinetic named Aurora North. Their story starts with him caged, and captured by The Lambs- - real nasty folks associated with the Order of Holy Fire. They didn't really like his kind too much, and had the rotten idea to execute him... until he meets Aurora, a runaway member that had been recaptured. She takes care of him, and they come to the decision to blow the joint and set the sorry motherfuckers ablaze. They escape on his motorcycle, and end up... knocking boots in a dingy highway motel. Dante becomes hopelessly smitten with both Lucien and Aurora, despite the cavernous space between his two lovers. But, alas, a light shines at the end of the tunnel. Lucien and Aurora kindle a spark while Dante is away on Hell business- - and the three lovers have been inseperable ever since.
every dog has its day.
ABILITIES:
He can shift into the form of a large black dog on command, with eyes that glow red and fangs that sink into the shells of the hardest souls.His strength, speed, and senses are extremely heightened, and his human body is very durable.Being born from hellfire means an immunity to being burned.The more evil the soul, the more power he gains. His knack for finding the most vile victims awarded him his alpha status.
PERSONALITY:
He radiates big asshole energy (and big dick energy, ok).His mouth has been known to get him in trouble, and it's made even worse by his short temper. And, despite his unknown, but old ass age... he has the habit of talking like a 13-year-old gamer with Mtn. Dew running through his veins-- you and your mom can suck my dick, fuckass! etc.Around those he loves, the hound can get real soft. He would do anything for Lucien and Aurora, no matter how high the price. Don't touch them, unless you would like to get mangled and dragged to Hell.
He despises the fact that he belongs to Lucifer, but knows that there is no escape from the pack. He doesn't mind his purpose in life, but he doesn't get to choose when he hunts souls-- he must obey whenever summoned. He walks a very thin line, and he has been warned time and time again... to check himself, before he muhhfuckin' wrecks himself.
disclaimer time !
hello, medusa here ( i wish i was the cool snake haired lady but alas i'm just a bitch with a computer ). i am the author of this ( probably ) underwhelming, work of disaster known as a character biography. i am open to plotting ... despite not being very good at it. i'm busy and i'm scatter brained and i probably banter way too much-- but i love storylines and angst and drama so don't hesitate to jump into my dms. dante is based in the dceu, and he currently resides in the sub-verse called Blacklight City. This wonderful sub-verse is created by the writer Desi, and you can find her on twitter here (if that link doesn't work... the handle is @STUPlDSAlNT) if you have any questions about contributing. thanks for reading!
