*Note; This story is a WIP, it is a 'remix' version of events that tie in the Devil May Cry mainline games (heavily on 4 & 5), the Nextflix DMC anime, as well as DmC: Devil May Cry & the comic adaption. There will be some things that may not make sense right away or I may confuse some things - I am still reworking it out myself. Nothing will be canon on this blog, regardless. Dante is a descendant of the original Sons of Sparda. I will be expanding upon this as much as possible over time. I hope you come to enjoy my version of Dante & everything I have planned for him. Thank you. / / Note, ii* triggering content for violence & sexual assault.
Dante, it's a family name. One that originates from nearly a millennia ago ... A shorted version of Durante. An original Son of Sparda, born to a human - witch mother &. brought into this world with a twin of his own - Vergil. They've been long dead, as far as anyone knew. Dante didn't know this story all too well, not until learning that he, himself has a twin brother by the same name. Their birthright bled the lines of both demons &. angels. Humans were lost in the mix a long, long time ago. Reproducing a new age for each race - creating the nearly invincible Nephilim. While not directly related to the Sons of Sparda, he lives with their blood in his veins. Dante of the new era can classified to be a sort of succession of the original twins &. much more dangerous.
Dante inherits the rebellion, albeit a more adjusted version of it, rather than what was seen used by his ancestor. The rebellion Dante uses is one that is fused with his body, his energy, able to call on it with ease for combat needs. The same goes for all of his weapons, they're formed from the creation of his own aura, as well as boss enemies he's fought &. killed. Creating them into an armory ample for slaying the demons, or angels, were they to become his enemies, too.
Despite being hidden away from civilization, A mansion &. gated home, in a secluded area, off the grid as a whole as a means to protect themselves. Unfortunately, Mundus' wrath was far underestimated - hunting Sparda &. his new family. His demon henchmen attacking Vergil, as far as Dante knew. Being scared, there's not much he could've done as a seven year old - the demons forced him to watch his mother get assaulted &. ultimately her heart ripped out by his own uncle. Mundus had feasted on the beating muscle, with a sadistic smile ... he had planned to consume the hearts of each spawn, intending for Sparda to watch helplessly. However, Sparda managed to save the twins, hiding them amongst humans ... though, due to this trauma, Dante had awakened his powers prematurely. Seeing the humans who've become possessed, who work with Mundus &. trying to hurt him in orphanages. For awhile, Dante had used a nickname; Red. Eventually revealing his true identity in his late teens, once causing a riot &. being thrown into a cell.
For months, Dante had been tortured, beaten, tested on &. starved, for Mundus' mere entertainment. This caused many psychological issues, eventually escaping &. turning to alcoholism &. sex to suppress his pain, his memories.. He became an official unofficial demon hunter - living on the on the Casino Pier of New Jersey. Living paycheck to paycheck, which hadn't been much anyway, yet wasted it away at Lilith's Nightclub &. hard liquor.
After a fight with his first Hunter Demon, Dante is recruited into The Order by Kat &. his younger brother, Vergil. He's told more about his past, their history, who they are &. what it means to be who they are. How these human afflictions could never work on he nor Dante. Spoken of their father, who just like their ancestors, is Sparda, procreating with an angel ... who coincidentally shared the same name as his original wife, Eva. Rather than a witch, she's an angel. The two creating two lives together, something far greater a threat than doing so with a human all those thousand years ago. They visit their childhood home, Paradise. Exploring the area through Limbo using Kat's sigil ... Finding out exactly what happens, awakening his potential, fueling his rage for Mundus &. the Demonic race as a whole.
This sealed the deal, Dante would become humanity's protector - in time.
