birthday("January 24th")

nationality("white/Caucasian")

sexuality("straight")

species("human")

body(" Dean has green eyes, light freckles on his face and short-cropped Ivy-league hair that is dark blond. He is 6'1"-- making him shorter than his younger brother Sam—and muscular. Dean is noted to be "handsome" or even "pretty" by other characters constantly.")

appearance("He usually wears a plaid shirt over a T-shirt, jeans, and boots, unless he has to wear a disguise in order to impersonate someone. Until Season 6, Dean often wore his father's leather jacket. He also used to wear a watch and a silver ring. As of Season 4, Dean has a hand-shaped burn scar on his left shoulder from where Castiel pulled him out of Hell. This mark has since disappeared from his body. For the first four seasons, Dean also wore an amulet around his neck that resembled the head of a bull made of brass, attached to a black cord. This amulet was given to him by Sam as a Christmas gift when they were children. Throughout the first half of Season 5, Castiel attempts to use this amulet to find God, as its claimed power is to burn hot in God's presence. When Castiel is unsuccessful, he declares the amulet "useless," and Dean throws it away.Sometime before Jus In Bello, Dean got a tattoo on his chest of the anti-possession symbol to protect himself from demons.")

likes(" Interests… pies, cars, rock-and-roll, and movies. Dean's interests were shaped by a life on the road, so he appreciates diner food, loves his Impala more than anything else, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of movies.")

dislikes(" He dislikes showing his emotions to monsters, and when facing beings like Abaddon or Azazel he acts threatening and determined. When facing the angels, even knowing what they could do to him, Dean is sarcastic, rude, and insulting, often referring to them as "dicks".")

personality(" Personality. Dean is shown to be understanding, kind, funny, mischievous, and, in contrast to his younger brother, a little immature. At an early age, Dean was trained by his father, John Winchester, to hunt and kill creatures of the supernatural. Dean Winchester, from the moment of his debut, was shown to be an understanding, funny, mischievous, and, in contrast to his younger brother, a little immature. Dean's shown countless times to be good with kids and the ladies. At an early age, Dean was trained by his father, John Winchester, to hunt and kill creatures of the supernatural. However, unlike his brother Sam, he did not resent his father for having him "raised like a warrior". He seemed to prefer hunting the supernatural over any normal "apple pie" life, though it was revealed that when he was sixteen, he did in fact desire (or at least hope for) a normal life: he just couldn't leave Sam. This however did not last long, as later on - while still sixteen - following a werewolf hunt, he realized just how unique his life was. However, by Season 7, following all that he has seen and done, Dean admits to Eliot Ness that he no longer wants to be a hunter and would give it up if he could. Dean is an avid fan of classic rock music. Many of his aliases have included the names of famous rock musicians. He is known to use crude humor, use pop culture references, make sexual innuendos, and indulge in pornography (especially about Busty Asian Beauties). He has even stated once that he does enjoy anime and Japanese animated porn (Hentai). Dean values his family's safety over anything else, even going so far as to kill a demon and its human host in order to save Sam's life, as well as sacrificing his very soul and suffering in hell to resuscitate his brother.Even though Dean keeps himself in excellent physical shape, he is known to have very bad eating habits. He is often shown enjoying greasy, fattening or otherwise unhealthy food, especially cheeseburgers and pie, and dismisses salads as "rabbit food." Dean is terrified of flying and claims that is the reason why he drives everywhere. Despite his working knowledge of the supernatural, Dean is skeptical with regard to the "good aspects of religion." However, he becomes somewhat more open-minded after meeting the angel Castiel, yet the antagonistic behavior of most angels and God's reluctance to openly participate in events prevents him from being a true believer, like Sam. When he did meet God he was shocked, but angered (unlike Sam who was rambling on). After God called him out on his anger, Dean opened up, though held some of his anger and supposedly abandoned humanity before God told him to stop comparing himself to his father. Dean has also shown on several occasions that he is an avid fan of movies, particularly westerns, and was thrilled to be given a chance to go to the old west. He was also overjoyed when he met and was able to work with Eliot Ness, frequently referencing The Untouchables during the episode.

Dean is typically ruthless and aggressive when he is hunting, a task which he approaches enthusiastically, making him the more merciless of the Winchester siblings. But in spite of that, he is capable of acknowledging whenever he's going too far, as seen with his interaction with Lenore and Gordon Walker (Bloodlust). He even sympathized with Elias Finch on his loss of his wife and his unfair punishment for her death. Whereas Sam is at least willing to sympathize with what they hunt, provided that their motives can be counted as morally gray, Dean mostly sees the world as black and white. He passionately despises what he hunts, especially demons, and is prepared to kill without question more often than not, unlike his brother. This has caused him to develop a bigotry against most supernatural creatures and beings. He dislikes showing his emotions to monsters, and when facing beings like Abaddon or Azazel he acts threatening and determined. When facing the angels, even knowing what they could do to him, Dean is sarcastic, rude, and insulting, often referring to them as "dicks". The only being he was openly afraid of was Death; on the rare occasions that they met, Dean was nervous and cautious, and when Dean was angry or frustrated enough to talk back, he became visibly scared and backed off the moment Death appeared annoyed.

Despite these traits, Dean is very laid-back and well-disposed when not on the hunt, and he values the safety of his family and innocent civilians above all else, even his own life. Though on occasion he can be somewhat impulsive as well as arrogant, Dean is both extremely intelligent and competent. He is more likely to exhibit irrational behavior when his family is threatened. Despite being the better hunter, Dean admits he doesn't see himself as anything other than a "grunt." He is constantly called out for feeling this way by Bobby and Sam. But regardless his feelings always return. These feelings can be traced back to his relationship with his father John, who at times treated him as a tool rather than as a son and who held him to unrealistic or unfair standards. Dean enjoys the uncomplicated things in life, such as good food and television. He almost constantly displays some level of humorous behavior, and frequently makes light of tense situations. He sometimes appears foolish due to this habit, but this seems to be merely his means of dealing with the stress of hunting. Dean shows on multiple occasions a soft spot for children. He is very good with them, able to talk to them with ease, and he is always very sympathetic; this most likely stems from the fact he practically raised Sam when he was a child. Dean's affection extends to nearly all children, particularly young ones, although he also cares about teenagers. Dean is more willing to put his life in danger for children than he is for nearly anyone else. Dean's affection even extends to monster children, and despite his ruthless approach to hunting, he's usually unwilling to kill monster children unless he has a crucial need.")

profession("Dean was made aware of his father's occupation as demon hunter early on in life and was trained to become a hunter soon thereafter. Living… in various motel rooms and his car, a 1967 Chevy Impala.")

background("First off, a disclaimer: Dean tends to have unrealistic expectations of people that always ensures that their choices will disappoint him, which in turn feeds the “I’m not good enough/everyone leaves me” mill of self doubt and loathing.

But you really can’t blame Dean. You only need to take a look at his life to see why he’s such a mess. This is based on canon and John’s journal.

There’s some debate, but Dean most likely saw his mother burning alive. At the tender age of four, Dean learned that monsters were real and they had taken his mother. At this exact moment, Dean started to develop PTSD, and stopped talking. Also at a very young age (pre-fire), Dean started to sense trouble in the family dynamic. Clearly he heard his parents fighting (and I have this headcanon it was about how Mary was raising Dean that macho-manly John didn’t like, but that’s another post.) There’s nothing worse for a child than feeling the two people he trusts and depends on to keep him safe may stop doing that, and bless, he tried to help in his own way. This is the start of “keeping the peace” Dean Winchester that we see throughout the rest of his childhood and much of his adulthood. Dean had a less-than-conventional childhood with a father that was an alcoholic and physically and mentally abusive, who had believed that Dean had a “killer instinct” at six years old. A father that Dean still thought was a superhero anyway and idolized for much of his life. Dean was forced into a nurturing role for Sammy. John actively encouraged this, and Dean at such a young age, probably desperate for some approval and solid ground to stand on, ate it up. Dean was never allowed to talk about his mom to deal with her death—at the very least it’s implied. Dean reacts angrily when Sam asks why they don’t talk about her. Dean was forced into a soldier’s role, and had to obey orders without question. If he acted “out of line,” (aka something John didn’t like) John chewed him out. The few times that Dean did act for himself, it usually backfired and almost got Sam killed (notably the Shtriga.) Dean loved learning and ached to go to school, according to John’s journal. He loved being in school, but John wasn’t quite ready to let his boy go out in the world yet. I can only imagine that John reacted negatively to Dean’s enjoyment, and Dean quickly learned that school was something he couldn’t want. At six, John decided to start teaching Dean how to shoot and hunt, thinking his son had the “killer’s instinct.” John decided this after Dean comforted him after a nasty hunt, and thought if Dean was old enough to comfort him, he was old enough to start learning about hunting. Learned to take pleasure in killing “monsters” from a very young age because it earned him his father’s praise and attention. The only good thing about that is Dean equated it with “saving people,” in a twisted ends-justify-the-means thing. Point being, children aren’t supposed to be exposed to violence like this—it kind of gives them PTSD. Dean, already suffering from PTSD as early as four, developed a disconnect from the violent part of his job. On the plus side, Dean does seem to take more pleasure in the hunt than the actual violence part—at least pre-Hell. Also, Dean will back off if the monster really didn’t do anything wrong. (Notably Lenore and, later, Katie.) It is also often obvious that his father was physically abusive.")
