Dante would be even deeper into punk fashion if he wasn't too lazy or if he cared more about what he wears. Most days, he wears a black and white turtleneck shirt (or some other kind of turtleneck). The scarf was gifted to him by a friend, hence it is entirely out of his typical color palette but he wears it anyway.

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

Dante has a sarcastic, biting sense of humor and can come off as overly sardonic which rubs people the wrong way. While he thus can be socially awkward, he makes up for it in loyalty. There are very few people within his 'inner circle' and he is fiercely loyal to them.

In his spare time, Dante collects random electronic parts and builds his own tech / computers. He operates multiple 'businesses' from his very hoarded apartment -- one that is a cash only repair shop for locals, and the other that is a hacking operation. While Dante is fairly successful as a hacker, he isn't interested in money and does it for fun, so he continues to be comfortable living in his run down apartment.

Dante has a phobia of children, but still managed to interact with a largely non-verbal girl who lived on his floor with her brother and his family. When they passed away in a car accident and she was taken away to be institutionalized, he used his computer skills to find her. Long story short, he convinced a friend to adopt her (because there was absolutely no way he would ever adopt or be qualified to adopt a child) and still will see her from time to time, allowing her to hang out in his shop when needed.

He most recently has found a girlfriend, Ruari, after many years of being single.

Some facts:

• Dante is a very picky eater with strong aversion to certain foods and textures; he will not eat anything hot and prefers food straight from the fridge
• His favorite foods are cold pizza, strawberries, and beer
• He works part time at a bar under his apartment when they need the help
