Dante isn’t what one would think of when they think about the Rune Knights and the Magic Council. He is a man that is a bit rough around the edges. While not bad looking in any means, the man just has a general appearance more of a thug than a law enforcement member. Perhaps it’s due to his choice of dark hue colored clothing, which is often leather at that. Or maybe its the constant RFB that he has going on. Nobody can pin it down to one thing, that is for sure. One thing that most of his colleagues have noted is that Dante isn’t one that likes to follow the dress code when it comes to assignments. Often the man will stitch a Rune Knight emblem on his leather jacket or even spray paint it on. Not being bothered with the stuff robes and other monolithic style clothing the rest of the order uses.

Being a Shadow God slayer, Dante’s magic is quite dark, even for shadow magic. The magic is not only dark in appearance but in thematics. Like thick ink, it twists and morphs the man’s figure into that of monsters. Its gotten to the point that he’s not really called on when it comes to minor local affairs as his appearance would cause more of a scene than the criminal at hand. If and when his chest is exposed, people will see the scars carved along his body. Some appear deep and old while others thin and fresh. Where the scars come from are various sources but the man is never quite clear on which is which and their exact history.

Other than the edgy style look and the weird gross form his magic likes to take on, Dante’s other notable physical trait is the man’s smoldering look. What some might find off-putting and rebellious, others see him as a tall, dark, and handsome fellow. Having both men and women flock to him over his adult life, Dante has found that having either on his arm is as good of an accessory as any. You can often find the man with a new mister or misses wrapped around him in public, though they come and go quicker than the seasons. Guess you can say he’s always with the latest trends on that one.






Dante is a very reserved man. Not one to boast his powers or belittle others for their lack of, but one that just allows the world around him to turn and he quietly sits back and observes. This has led his superiors to grow quite frustrated with the young man throughout the years. His quiet and often passive nature has led him to stagger among the ranks of the Rune Knights while his magic power and his magic alone could easily catapult him towards greatness. While Dante is well aware of these facts, he knows that staying in the position that he currently has will serve him in the long run much better.

Not one that would be considered evil or good, Dante, places himself at the center of all things he does at all times. Never one to let an opportunity pass, unless it is wiser to do sol; Dante seeks to find a place within the Rune Knights that would allow him to do something that he has sought after his whole life, to end the life of the Shadow god. It is something his pseudo-mother quested him on all those years ago and one that he has kept to himself to this day. How many people openly would agree to slaughter a god? He does not wish to do this because this god has wronged him, no he simply wishes to do so in order to prove that he is stronger than a god. It’s that simple. While the world may suffer, what has the gods done for mankind that warrants them to enjoy this divine protection? Man has carved themselves a place in this world and Dante is going to carve his place on the corpse of that god.

Dante does work well with others, most of the time. He is one that wishes to get jobs done as soon as possible, never one to dwell on things that are not really of any importance to him for too long. That time can be better spent drinking, flirting, or other things that he might enjoy. He does not mind the Rune Knights, in fact he finds the structure of the system a bit refreshing. Chaos is not really his style of life, though his outward appearance may appear like that. The Rune Knights ultimately serve him a purpose and one that he does not try to take for granted. While the higher-ups may be disappointed in his lack of motivation, they do find it refreshing to have a middle-class subordinate that isn’t trying to rock the boat too often. Typically they let him do his thing as long as he provides the results that they need, not what they want but need.




Dante’s start in life was rough, by all means. He was born to a small cult that took up in the far reaches of Fiore. In an area that is commonly known as Wailing Slough. Not a place many would want to raise a baby. In fact, his parents were not even a couple nor did they ever have the intention on raising their child. From the moment he was conceived, Dante’s role and path in life were already planned for him. He was a tool, a tool for his father, mother, and the rest of their cult. What sort of tool would a baby be to a group of weirdos in the middle of a swamp? A sacrifice of course. For eight months the woman that was his mother carried Dante. During this time she subjected her body and mind to the will of their cult’s leader, his father. For eight months she bathed in the blood of the swamp’s children and fed on the hearts of its fearsome beasts. For eight months she prayed to the shadows of the bough trees and to the singing cicadas. During the ninth month, when the moon entered its new phase, she went into labor.

After surviving completely on raw meat and swamp water, the woman’s body could handle it no more. The new moon’s power seemed to pull the child. Not into a world of warmth and light but of cold and shadows. As she gave birth, her brothers and sisters in thought gathered around her. Chanting their pagan chants and singing the songs that made even the insects flee in fear. As the morning light was starting to break on the horizon, it stopped. The darkness seemed to blot out the rising sun as an eclipse occurred. One was not scheduled for that day and none was fully expected, even by their dear leader. It was when the sun itself was rejected from the sky did they know that they had a chance to speak to the one that they had been praying to for all these years. The Shadow Demon.

As the baby let out his first scream, the shadows seemed to embrace him. Nobody there that day can say for certain what she looked like, only that they all heard her singing what appeared to be a lullaby. His mother had lost consciousness and ultimately her life. While Dante was supposed to be the sacrifice, she seemed to take that role instead. Before any of the members could aid their dying sister or bring the babe to be sacrificed, the shadows caressed him in their arms and carried him into the depths of the forest. It was not but moments later that the lullaby faded away and the sun was able to once again take its spot in the sky.

Dante really never knew who his parents were. This was the story that his adoptive mother had told him while he lived with her. She never gave him a single name to be called nor did she ever take on the same form. Like a shadow, she seemed to always change who she was, how she appeared, how she sounded. She was always there but at the same time, he could never touch her. He lived with this shadow woman, his adoptive mother for years. Where exactly he couldn’t say. Many of the Rune Knights had pressed the boy on several occasions, even members from the church tried to get a solid answer. All he knows is during that time he felt loved. He learned a lot then and not just from her but from those she kept court with. These were not typical humans but magical creatures. Ones that were smart as human but shunned for their looks and past affiliations.

He spent nearly nine years of his life in this world between worlds; that was how he described it when asked. For nine years he learned the history of the gods and how they started out grand and great but quickly grew gluttonous and lazy with their power. He learned the strife his mother and her people had and how they were nearly drove to the brink of collapse. He learned a healthy respect for the dragons and their passive ways while a bit of distrust from the humans and their greedy ways. He was a byproduct of the human’s own greed. At the same time, he grew more and more human in nature, going against what his mother taught him. It grew to the point that his mother knew that it was the time that he left her embrace and joined the humans of the world. She was careful in her selection of where to place him. Not wanting him to be mixed with the common folk of the world for they were cruel, she opted that the best place for him would be with the Magic Council. A group that was set to drive the darkness from the hearts of the world. She herself was not a cruel being but other of her kind were. Her nature of shadows just always led others to believe that, hence them trying to sacrifice a newborn to her. Something the shadow demon never asked or wanted. She knew that placing him with the Magic Council would be the best choice for the boy to walk down a path that would keep his humanity in check but offer him a safe space to grow. So, when he was nearly ten years old, the shadow demon would show him the way to the Council’s headquarters and left her child there to become a man.

During his first few months there, many of the elders and higher-ups were wary to let the child of a demon in their ranks. What would the world say if this boy turned evil and decided to harm the Rune Knights? Lucky for them this never seemed to occur. Dante was well mannered and rather quite respectful. He was a quiet boy that tended to keep to himself rather than play with his peers. He was questioned time and time again about his mother and where her home was but he could never fully remember. He had been dragged out to the swamps of his birth and met his supposed father. He had met with church leaders who grilled him over his tainted magic and threatened to hang him. Still, the Council kept the child safe from their stout ways. They saw a potential in the boy. One that was bound for greatness.

He trained with the Rune Knights for years, never at the front of the class but far from the rear as well. Something about him always frustrated his teachers. They knew he grasped their words and understood their teachings, still, the boy showed that he was not one to always say yes. He was his own person. His mother watched from the shadows at the beginning but over time she saw that the boy was becoming a man and eventually left to return to whatever realm she had came from, entrusting the Magic Council with the first human she had truly loved in over a century. As time went on, Dante becomes rather respected among his peers. Even those that were considered stronger or of higher rank saw the boy as somebody that shouldn’t be easily dismissed. His magic was unique and odd, just like the boy himself. He never felt fully at home in the Rune Knights but their way of life gave him structure and a path to become who he wanted to be.




N/A


This is where you'll put all of your magic and spells. Characters may only start with one magic type. A character's magic rank is equal to the character's class. The same applies to the four spells that a character starts with.

NAME: Shadow God Slayer
TYPE: Lost
RANK: B
DESCRIPTION:
Shadow God Slayer is all in the name. It is a magic that was developed nearly 500 years ago by Demons and humans in order to slay the god of the shadows. The magic is tainted, its sole purpose is to kill a divine being that is above humans and even dragons. The magic allows the user to not only manipulate and produce shadows but also draw on the natural shadows of the world. Using them to fuel their magic and power. While all god slaying magic has a black tint to it by nature, the shadow god slayer is said to be so dark that it seems to be completely devoid of light itself.

DRAWBACKS:
Like any god slayer, the magic runs the risk of mentally corrupting the mind of its user. Drawing on emotions such as fear, anger, and loneliness the magic places its user in a precarious place mentally. Resulting in it the magic only being able to shine with those that have a solid personal core.

SPELLS:

Place all spells related to your magic here. Characters get four free spells equal to their class at creation.

NAME: Silent Stalk of the God Slayer
TYPE: Support
RANK: C Rank
MODS: Cleanse and Teleport
DESCRIPTION:
Dante is able to completely embrace the shadows and melt into them. This allows him to teleport to any other shadow within his vicinity. Once activated this will also naturally cleanse a single affliction or dot spell he might currently be under the influence of. If he chooses, Dante does not have to actually immediately emergy from the shadows but can stay there and essentially stalk his prey. He cannot use any offensive base spells while inside the shadow though.

NAME: Shadow God Slayer’s Claws
TYPE: Offensive
RANK: B Rank
MODS: Elemental Damage (Shadow), Physical Damage (Slashing), and Affliction (Blind)
DESCRIPTION:
By wrapping shadows around his hands, Dante is able to make either one or both hands become nearly demonic in appearance. With shadows oozing off the hand at all times. The claws themselves are rather nasty in damage, causing deep cuts that can even scratch down to the bone. Whenever a person is slashed by these claws they will suffer the affliction of blind for the following three posts.

NAME: Shadow God Slayer’s Bite
TYPE: Support
RANK: B Rank
MODS: Elemental Damage (Shadow), Physical Damage (Bludgeon and Piercing), and Immobilization
DESCRIPTION:
By wrapping shadows around his arm, Dante is able to create a whip out of shadows. The tip of the whip will have a forked like end. This whip can be used and manipulated by the man at whim. If a person is stabbed by the whip’s tip it will cause them to become immobilized. The whip can be used for raw bludgeon like damage as well and does not have to solely rely on the piercing aspect.

NAME: Shadow God Ravaging Rampage
TYPE: Defense
RANK: B Rank (A Rank damage)
MODS: Overcharge (Darkness Elemental damage)
DESCRIPTION:
Dante will unleash a crescent shape slash (roughly 5m wide and 1m thick) that is not only wicked fast but incredibly dangerous. The shadow will be able to cause slashing damage and runs the risk of breaking bones if hit.
