There isn't much about Dante that is usual, aside from himself. While many could consider him emo, he really isn't anything of the sort. He does have, however, pale skin that no matter how much time he spends in the sunlight, never seems to get any type of tan to it. Wearing dark coloring contrasts with his skin, and is part of the reason he wears what he wears. With a hair that is dark black with the occasional bright red streak through it, there isn't a thing on Dante that doesn't contrast with his skin; even his eyes, a livid red, contrast. Hidden by his hair, are three earrings, located on his left ear, and usually tending to be hoops, although he does have studs.
Although he really isn't ever seen working out, Dante was blessed with height and a long, lean body. With his stylish jeans, which DON'T hang down past his butt thank you, and somewhat tight fitting shirts, he is something to be sought after. With no habits such as smoking or anything of the sort, the only time his eyes have the red ring would be when he happens to be exhausted, which is most of the time. Its almost as if he never sleeps. On his feet are usually either light running shoes, or black converse, depending upon what the event is. In the winter, he is seen with a sweatshirt, but that is about it. He hates feeling bulky, and therefor, refuses to wear jackets or sweats. Something that isn't good for his health; but then again, he has bigger problems. On really sunny days, or sunny days in general, he often has a pair of sunglasses around his eyes, Aviator Shades.

CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY
There is no easy way to describe Dante’s personality unless you read his past first, but I shall do the best I can. There are two halves to Dante; he and Inferno. Dante and Inferno are two totally different people, they just exist within each other, Dante thankfully being the dominant of the two.
Dante isn’t someone who knows who he is; and is constantly feeling as though he is worthless, as though he shouldn’t be here. He has no value for his own life, and would willing die for one of his friends, or if he had any, family. He often questions the point of his very existence, and at times, he can’t ever find one. Often at times, he has almost gone suicidal, but something stopped him before he could. There are things that he is willing to live for though; being the pyromaniac that he is, Dante has an amazing ability to control fire, or at least, he is as close as possible to controlling the flames. He has no recollection of his past, other than fact that there was fire involved. He is an amazing artist; though he refuses to see his own talent. He can draw with just about anything you give him, and make even the simplest object look like a piece of true art. He has never really drawn himself though, at least, not recently. He captures the souls of whatever he draws, and it is the thought that he has no soul that keeps him from drawing himself. When he isn’t drawing, or forced to be out in public around people, Dante is listening to music, in the solitude of his own walls. Although he really doesn’t have a favorite band, it changes by the week sometimes, his current one has to be Breaking Benjamin, although he likes RED a lot as well.
Dante is not without his own set of fears though; his largest one clowns. There is just something evil about them, something that needs to die. Dante becomes incredibly aggressive around clowns, and it is rather common for him to light them aflame, and watch in amusement as they burn. He is afraid though, of the ocean as well, and well, himself. Unlike with many cases of Alter Egoism, Dante is aware of what Inferno does; he just usually can’t stop it. Losing control; losing himself to the darkness, it is his constant fear, and maybe the reason that he doesn’t really socialize all too often, although he is always worrying about the cat’s other form as well. Overall, Dante really isn’t a bad person; he is always wearing Aviator shades to cover his dark red eyes, and just hiding from the world unless they find him. Dante is not one to back down from a fight, no matter what the circumstances are, and will fight to the end, just for someone to get away. He doesn’t make friends very easily though, and pretty much only comes down from his room for dinner, preferring to be alone more than anything else.
Inferno is a totally different being. Insane is one way to describe him; but in that insanity, there is a quiet genius. Inferno has always been with Dante, and some think not having a being was what drove him to madness. Whatever the reason, Inferno is not the one you’d want to meet in a dark alley. With a charm that is pretty much irresistible, it isn’t good to get fooled by him. Inferno would rather cut your throat then save you, pretty much. He and Dante are constantly fighting; and there is one clear way to tell who is in control just by looking at one thing; the eyes. Inferno’s gaze turns red, red so bright that even the whites of the eyes turn a light red color, while Dante only has the normal scarlet of the cat. Inferno has as much skill as Dante with the knife, he just likes to drag things out a bit more. And although he is insane, he does care about Dante. He just sees the only way to take care of things is to kill whoever the offender was.

HISTORY
Dante's past is not a pretty thing. Thankfully though, its nothing that he can recall. His only memory is of coming to the Somaha place, and he came here when he was 16. Whenever though, he does try to remember his past, even the most simple of questions, something seems to happen to him. And as the questions get more and more in depth, things only get worse and worse. Most often if its really bad, a fever rages, his eyes roll back, and he goets a horrible nose bleed. It doesn't matter who is asking, or where they are asking, it happens every time to him. The past he has learned, is something to be avoided, and not a single question will ever be answered. Not anymore, at least. Nobody knows what his illness is though, when asked about it. It worries many, and pretty much everyone has stopped asking him about it.
One thing is for certain about his past though. Torture, and an attempt to break him. Scars that mark up his skin, hidden by his clothes, are the constant reminder of that. Old burn marks, deep scars, everything you could imagine, just waiting below the surface, but yet, the key it seems, has been long gone.
