*tries to subversively hide her username to mask her presence* *subsequently fails because Tumblr is being unreasonable* Ahem! I greatly enjoy your portrayal and insightful interpretations of our lovely Devil May Cry characters. All bathroom humour aside, in the question of humanity and potential embarrassment, what do you think each character would do if they were confronted by a bedraggled homeless person, featuring a scenario of both binary genders[or third]? Thank you for your genius! *^_^*
How the DMC bois would react when confronted with a homeless person
Dante always greets the homeless person on the street around the corner of his shop when passing him, even knowing their name and background story, sometimes enjoying the guitar tunes they play or ordering pizza and eating it with them. Dante isn‘t trying to be benevolent, it is just an expression of his sense of humanity.
Nero would at first be a little embarassed, but mostly because it reminded him of his time as an orphan. Wanting to show gratitude for the life he is given with Kyrie, he always brings the leftover food (“Well, you’re in luck, pal, cause food’s ready and Kyrie always makes too much.“) or invites them in to have dinner with them, offering them shelter for the night.
Vergil would most certainly not even wince with an eyebrow. Throwing a coin into their mug or offering them food, wouldn’t be his style because he would always treat people the way he wants to be treated. Hence, any sign of compassion would hurt his pride. Yet, seeing a homeless person, would intensify the negative feelings he has for humans, questioning the political circumstances which enforce such extreme social diversities among people and if he witnessed anyone harassing them, he wouldn‘t hesitate to step in with Yamato.
V would return to the same spot he had recently seen the homeless person and give them his collection of William Blake poetry as a gift. “Poetry might not feed our hunger, but it has the power to feed our minds,“ he‘d say while handing them his most precious possession.
Thanks for this ask! It was nice to imagine something sentimental.
