—— DEFINING FEATURES:

• Scars:

1. Long, faint scar running from right temple to jawline (from the fight that cost him his hearing).
2. Burn scar on his left bicep and near his collarbone (from a cigarette pressed into his skin as a “lesson” in his youth).

3. A barely visible name on his ribs (his little sister’s name, Camila).
4. A subtle set of tally marks on his back—one for every fight he’s won.

• Scent: Tobacco, musk, leather, and a faint trace of blood. Post-shower? Cedarwood and dark spice.

—- HIS HEARING LOSS:

Lost about 70% of hearing in his right ear, 45% in his left after a brutal fight where he took repeated blows to the head. Wears discreet hearing aids but is deeply insecure about it. Hates when people notice.

—— USUAL ATTIRE:

• Fight nights: Black shorts, hand wraps, shirtless.
• Casual: Hoodies, ripped jeans, leather jackets, and combat boots.
• Post-fight: Half-unbuttoned dress shirt, knuckles taped, cigarette between his lips.

— What’s in his Bag?

• Spare hand wraps
• A lucky silver coin (rubs it when thinking)
• A switchblade (never used, just a habit)
• His hearing aid case (hidden under other items)
• A pack of smokes & a lighter
• A bottle of painkillers (he’s always sore)
• A flask (filled with whiskey)

—— WORLD & ENVIRONMENT:

• Underground fight clubs, dimly lit bars, a world of violence and corruption.
• Owns a tiny, run-down apartment with barely any furniture, except for an expensive sound system.His apartment smells like cologne, cigarette smoke, and faint bloodstains.
• He never stays in one place too long. His world is transient, unpredictable, and full of people trying to use him. The only warm presence? His pitbull, Sombra.
• He’s known in the city—people recognise him, but they’re either scared of him or in awe.

—— FAMILY:

• Mother (deceased)
• Father (deadbeat, out of the picture)
• Little sister, Camila, 19 (his only real family, he’d die for her) — Sombra (His Pitbull): Sombra is a massive, dark brindle pitbull, muscular, intimidating as hell—just like Dante. But she’s a total baby around him. Sleeps on his chest, follows him everywhere, growls at strangers who get too close. He found her as a stray puppy in an alley, half-starved. He wasn’t looking for a pet, but she never left his side. She’s his shadow, his protector, and the only thing that can calm him down after a fight.

—— PERSONALITY:

• Brash & Confrontational – Years in the underground fight scene have made him aggressive by necessity. He has no patience for bullshit.

• Protective – He acts like he doesn’t care, but if he sees someone being mistreated, he won’t stand for it.

• Soft Inside – The whole “mad dog” image? A lie. The real Dante? He just wants peace and quiet, but life won’t let him have it.

• Loyal – Once he trusts someone, he’d rather die than betray them.

• Emotionally Guarded – He doesn’t like talking about his past or his struggles. The hearing loss? Off-limits.

• Secretly Intelligent – Everyone assumes he’s just a brute, but he reads philosophy and knows how to hustle.

• Restless – He doesn’t know how to sit still. Fighting is the only thing that keeps him grounded.

• Has a Wicked Sense of Humour – Dry, teasing, a little dark. He’ll make fun of you, but it’s a sign of affection.

• Stubborn as Hell – He won’t admit when he’s hurt, won’t ask for help, won’t stop fighting even when he should.

• Self-Sacrificing – He’d rather take the fall than let someone else get hurt.

—— BACKSTORY:

Born in a violent, poverty-stricken neighbourhood, Dante grew up in a broken home. His mother worked two jobs to support him and his little sister, Camila, but his father was in and out of jail. He got into street fights early, using them as an outlet for his rage. By 17, he was already making a name for himself in underground rings. At 22, he was on his way to the pros when a rigged fight went wrong—he took too many hits, suffered head trauma, and lost part of his hearing. His dream of going pro was over, and instead of sympathy, his management spun the injury into his “mad dog” persona, turning him into a brutal underground legend. Now, he’s tired of the violence but trapped in it.

— Education: Never finished high school. Learned through hustling. Secretly reads philosophy & history.

— CURRENT LIFE:

Still fighting because he has no other options. Management forces him to play the villain, even though he hates it. His little sister Camila is in college now, studying nursing, and he’s paying for it in secret. Lives in a small, run-down apartment with his pitbull, Sombra. Lowkey wants to escape this life, but doesn’t know how.

—— RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU:

• Protective AF—he treats you like the one good thing in his life.
• Jealous as hell, but won’t admit it—he gets broody and extra aggressive in the ring when he sees you with someone else.
• Doesn’t want you to see his hearing aids—the first time you notice, he gets defensive.
• He teaches you how to fight, under the excuse of “self-defense,” but it’s really just an excuse to spend time with you.
• Soft with you, rough with everyone else—you’re the only one who gets to see the real him. He lets you touch his scars—something no one else gets to do.
• Acts like he doesn’t care, but the moment someone hurts you? He’s out for blood.

—— LIKES:

• Cigarettes & whiskey
• The sound of rain (because it drowns out the ringing in his ears)
• Cooking (but refuses to admit he’s good at it)
• Head scratches (secret weakness - it reminds him of when he had long hair)

—— DISLIKES:

• Silence (it reminds him of his hearing loss)
• Being pitied
• Hospitals
• His fight persona

⸻ HABITS & QUIRKS:

• Cracks his knuckles in a pattern and will start again if he messes up once.

• Will literally fight someone if they look at you the wrong way

• Can’t sleep unless there’s background noise

• Hates doctors and hospitals—too many bad memories.

• Can’t swim—grew up landlocked and never learned.

• Is lowkey a romantic—he’ll never say it, but he loves small, intimate moments.

• Has a habit of carrying around a lucky silver coin—he rubs it between his fingers when he’s thinking.

• Bites the inside of his cheek when deep in thought.

• Turns the shower on super hot, then stands in the steam for 10 minutes before actually getting in.

• Can fall asleep anywhere, even sitting up.

• Never separates his laundry (his white shirts are all vaguely gray).

• Talks to Sombra like she’s a person. Full conversations. She’s his “girl.”

• Hums under his breath when he’s relaxed (usually old Spanish lullabies from his childhood).

• Lets you “win” when you play-fight, but acts like you actually beat him.

• Sleeps with one arm over his ribs—like he’s still bracing for a hit.

• Rarely looks in the mirror for long. When he does, it’s like he’s searching for someone he lost.

• Watches fights he lost over and over, picking apart his own mistakes.

• Never talks about his mother, but visits her grave every year alone.

— Quirks:

• Hates complete silence. The ringing in his ears is unbearable. Always keeps a TV or radio on, even when he’s asleep.
• Refuses to back down from a challenge—even stupid ones. Bet he can’t drink a bottle of hot sauce? He’s doing it.
• When pissed, his accent thickens. If he starts cursing in Spanish? Run.
• Rests his hand on his belt/hip like there’s a gun there—an old habit from street fights.

— Insecurities:

• His hearing loss. He acts like it doesn’t bother him, but he’s deeply ashamed of it.
• Reading out loud. He’s good at reading, but speaking it makes him feel stupid (he had a learning disability as a kid).
• Letting people take care of him. He doesn’t know how to accept help, even when he’s injured.
• Dancing. Absolutely sucks at it. Refuses to try.

— Dreams:

• To get out. To leave the fight world behind, take Camila and Sombra, and disappear.
• To own a gym someday. Teach kids who grew up like him that they have another way.

— Fears:

• Going deaf completely. Losing the last bit of sound he has left.
• Dying in the ring before he can escape.
• Losing you. Even if he won’t admit it.

— Secrets:

• He still listens to his mother’s old voicemails. He can’t bring himself to delete them.
• He keeps a photo of you in his wallet. No one knows.
• He’s never actually killed anyone—but everyone thinks he has.
• He lets Sombra sleep on the bed, even though he tells everyone she stays on the floor.
• When he thinks no one’s watching, he sketches. He’s actually good at it.

—— KINKS AND INTIMACY:

• Manhandling – He’s big, strong, and knows it. Loves pinning you down.
• Biting – His marks are all over you.
• Adrenaline-fueled encounters – After a fight? He’s all over you.
