Post by Professor Dante (And Freddie!) on Jul 2, 2006 12:54:23 GMT -5
Name: Dante Maverick Anthropes.
Age: 27
Birthday: Feb. 14, 1979
Nationality: Caucasian, though "Euro Dante" could be used. This is because he is Welsh, Irish, British, Norse, Finnish, French, Swedish, Greek, (very slightly) German, and Russian (from the small section in Europe) all rolled into one, hence "Euro Dante."
Zodiac sign: Aquarius
Mutation? : He can bring inaminate objects to life. Anything that is dead or was never alive to begin with, he can bring to life. But, once alive, they have a mind of their own. If he tries to bring a large object to life, there is a chance that the individual parts of the large object (for instance, if it's a building, a few of the bricks might come to life instead of the entire thing). Anything that comes to life because of his doings also can't die unless he dies.
The way these things come to life and stay alive is quite simple. They start out as normal, everyday objects, and souls that wander the Earth with nowhere to go. Dante gives some of his life-force to those objects, which at the same time one of those wandering souls is placed in there too. Of course, if he had nothing given in return, he would die because of his life-force being spread out that many times, but that's where there's a catch. Every soul that is brought to life in an object connects to Dante, giving him a portion of his or her soul, which alows him to live on. However, it is not enough to equal the ammount of life-force lost, which results in his sickly appearance. The longer he has had something alive, the more connected to him it is. This means if he is dying, the first thing he ever brought alive will be the last thing to die (which, of course, will be Freddie each time).
There is also something a bit...different, for lack of better words, when he brings to life every part of an individual thing (for instance, each bone in a skeleton, or that building mentioned above). Though they are all alive, when joined together, the individual parts are no longer alive, but the joined object itself.
The skeletons and other once-living objects that he brings to life work a bit...differently than the others. They just get some of Dante's life force without the soul attachment. They are more of the, "Mindless" variaty, and will do what they are told. As you can guess, this takes a lot of energy out of Dante, so he only does it when absolutely nessisary (Plus, the more flesh still attacked to the courspe, the harder it is). Also, these are the only things that when brought to life can die again, by Dante's will or by conventional meathods (crushing them, burning them, etc. Stabbing them and taking off bodyparts doesn't count.) These courpses also tend to be difformed at times, so again he rarely does this. The final reason for this not being his main defence meconism is because he's still working on it. He cannot do that much with it yet...and it requires practice that he doesn't have the time for.
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 120 lbs.
Hair: Black with neon-green ends, in a mohawk (though, his hair is long enough for the sides of the mohawk to droop down the sides of his shaved head)
Eyes: Grey-Green, with rectangular, thin glasses resting on his huge nose.
Physique: Two words: Walking Skeleton. Yes, he does have a few almost invisible muscles, but for the most part he looks like he hasn't eaten in years.
Any physically distinguishing features?: His paleness. And thinness (he looks like he just came back from the dead, he's so gaunt and skinny). He honestly looks sickly. His nose is also reconisable, because of it's beak-like hook apperance. His eyes seem a bit distant at times, as though he's off in his own world, which also is something some people can easily see.
Oh, and his doll, Freddie, is almost always around him.
Profession: He's a poet, and he also is the professor who teaches Creative Writing and Literature.
How does your character fit in the roleplay?: Dante is, personally, happy with his mutation, so he could care less about the "cure." Well, he did until the Brotherhood started rioting, which boiled his blood. He is willing to help in any way, his weak heart withstanding.
Alliance (BoM or X-Men or neutural, basically): X-Men
Personality: Dante is an unusual character, for the reason that depending on how you strike him as a person, he will adapt his personality to you. He is naturally open-minded and warm hearted, but can change in an instant to a cold, uncaring, short-tempered beast. He likes his personal space, and also like to have a bit of "fun" with some of the students (leaving a glass, that he brought to life, in the middle of the courtyard to have a student pick it up and have it come to life in their hands). He doesn't like to see people hurt, physically or mentally, so he tends to get attatched to people who are hurt. He can go from innocent little kid, to mature serious adult.
He cannot, and I repeat, CANNOT stand the thought of death. It makes him very stressed...almost a phobia, if you will. He dislikes talking about it, thinking about it, or even hearing about someone dying. He's been this way since his family died, which is one of the reasons why he dislikes it so much. It's not that he's afraid to die...it's that he doesn't like the consept of it.
Reminding me of which, Dante needs anti-anxiety medication. Why? Two reason: His weak heart, and that he gets stressed easily, expecially when he hears/sees/thinks about something to do with death. He either has to be on his medication or seditives, or else there's a high risk of him going into a panic attack. Most people don't see this side of him, because he keeps himself calm and relaxed by being the fun-loving teacher he is. Freddie helps a lot with this, being almost constantly by his side.
Dante and religion are a bit of a mixed-match. He doesn't believe in one specific faith, but several combound into his own belief system. Catholism hasn't been too much in his favor since he was 11, because of the nuns at his orphanage trying to make him right-handed by slapping his left hand with a ruler everytime he used it. It's not that he has anything against the religion, or those who believe in it...he just doesn't really like some of their older beliefs (such as, "Homosexuals should be sent to the devil where they belong" and "The left-hand is the hand of the devil").
Professor Dante's teaching meathods very far from traditional. Teaching creative writing is quite easy (and also is known for being one of the "easier classes" because as long as you do the assignments with proper grammar, you get a good grade. Plus, Dante doesn't like giving out a ton of homework), and he usually involves the resent events in the school in his writing assignments (The deaths of some of the other Professors, the Posessed Door, the list goes on and on). He usually incorperates two assignments that don't change, one being the re-enactment of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" (who doesn't love a play about a girl that dresses as a guy?) and his "Writing Anonymisly" assignment. The latter is done in class, on computers (so that no one can differenciate between handwriting styles). The students are supposed to write their deepest secret, and to not sign it. Dante understands if they don't want to write that, they don't have to. Usually, he just says, "If it's illegal or you just don't want other people to hear it, make something up. No one will know the difference." He also joins in, writing down one of his deepest secrets as well. Then he tells the class to guess which one is his own. So far, no class has been able to tell which one is his.
Disliking when people make-fun of eachother, Dante has created a small box that he leaves on his desk. This box is called, "The Insult Box" because of it's sole purpose. It is a rule in his classroom that the only insults that are able to be made are to be directed at Dante himself and written down on a piece of paper to be put into the insult box. At the end of every month, he goes through the box with the class, and scoring them by three catagories: "Creativity and Originality," "Correct Grammar," and "Vocabulary." The one with the highest score is put on the "Insult Wall of Fame," and the writer recieves a gift from Dante, ranging form random things he's found over the years to candy and pizza parties.
Likes: His personal space, "Queen" (the band), Freddie Mercury (Queen's late lead singer, which he named his talking doll after), literature, music, harmless pranks
Dislikes: People hurting, large crowds, mobs, chaos, people making fun of the way he dresses, people making fun of Freddie, people making fun of anything, really, in a hurtful and destructive manner.
Fears: Flying, The Consept of Death, Someone getting hurt and he couldn't do anything about it, Going into a panic attack infront of his students, Having his heart give out infront of his students, and most importantly:
Elderly Nuns.
Favorite Food: Instant Waffles (still frozen), Chicken Parmasian
Favorite Drink: Tea. Mainly in the morning, but he'll drink it just about any time.
Right or Left?: Left handed.
Sence of Fashion: Dante could be considered the "Gothic Teacher" due to the way he dresses. For pants, his closet mainly consists of baggy black pants, jeans, and anything that won't cling to his already thin body frame. One of those black-demin pants he sewed himself, his own design sewed into the bottoms. It's of a large brown rock, engulfed in neon green flames. Climbing up the rock are many skeletons, several of which are missing limbs and heads. On the top of the flaming stone is a crusifix, a skeleton nailed to it. From the eye sockets and mouth dripsvibrantly red blood. He didn't mean to be sacreligious by this...he just thought it looked cool.
For tops, his closet mainly consists of Band-Shirts (like the ones you get at a concert, mainly of Queen), black tank-tops, and hooded sweatshirts. However, there are a few other thing in there, such as a greyish-colored suit, a few hand-knitted sweaters (from Alexis, no surprize, around the holidays), and several costumes from Halloween's past.
Noted, at the bottom of his closet are two things: His larger-than-life, Gene Simmons combat boots (which are just about the only pair of shoes he owns) and a small box with the title, "Doll Clothes" on it. This box contains Freddie's and Amy's past coustumes, which range from Freddie's Liberache coustume to a sexy-looking Mrs. Clause outfit for Amy.
Homes:
1. Palmer, MA. Born and raised there until he was 11.
2. NYC, NY. Sent to an Orphanage there because no one of either side of his family would take him in (because they either were never in touch or disowned this section of their family). Stayed for one year until Professor Xavier took him in.
3. The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youth. Has lived there for the last six years of his youth and is still living there.
Brief History: Dante was born into an family of two parents (at the time of his birth. He ended up having four siblings coming down the road...), one of which was mutant. His father's power, however useless it may seem, caused never-ending amusement for him, with his eye color changing everytime he blinked. His parents thought he was the normal one of the family, since he was the only one who's powers weren't too obvious. Bart, one year younger than Dante, could breathe fire (and sneeze it, too, as the family found out). Dominic (three years younger) looked demonic, like he was half-lizard at points. Galen (eight years younger) looked like a satyr, and was able to eat through anything.
Then there was Riga. She was born when he was ten years old, and her powers were obvious when she was born: she was able to shift the shapes of shadows, and she did it in the hospital the day they came home.
It wasn't until he was 11 did he find out that he had a power too, when he was playing with a doll he made in Sewing class at the local middle-school. He thought about making it come to life...and it did, which caused Freddie to be born. He desided to make one for his younger sister, a girl one, and he was able to make this one come alive as well. She adored the doll to no end, not letting it go.
Later that day, his family got into a terrible car-crash, leaving Dante, Freddie, and the doll me made for his sister (Amy) as the only survivors. He was sent to an orphanage, and continued to go to a normal middle school for another year. Here he met Alexis, who was like an foster-brother to him in the orphanage. The first time they met, Dante was having an extremely bad panic attack, and Alexis just so happened to be the only one around. If it hadn't been for him, Dante wouldn't have survived it. Alexis also helped Dante come out of the closet, being quite flamboyant himself. The year after Dante left the orphanage, Alexis found out that he, too, was a mutant, but was able to hide it better (Static Eletricity works wonders, doesn't it?)
Then the people who ran the orphanage found out Dante was a mutant. Unsure of what to do, they called whoever they could to take him off their hands. Professor Xavier was the first to show up, and took Dante in with him to his intitution with Freddie and Amy.
It has been thirteen years since he came to this school, and now he is teaching something he loves: Creative Writing and Literature.
Family Members:Mother: Dead
Father: Dead
Brothers (Dominic, Bartholomew, Galen): Dead
Baby Sister (Riga): Dead
Foster Brother (Alexis "Lex, Lexi, Lexis, Frankenfurther"): Alive, Close Friends with Dante, Lives in N.Y.C.
Pets: Well, this is the closest to a pet he has. A little doll, named Freddie, that he brought to life when he was younger. He sewed the doll himself, though the head is over stuffed and twice the size of the body. It has long, fake-black hair, and large button eyes. The hands and feet have no fingers or toes, so their like little nubs. This is what he looks like:
To your character, what is the one most beautiful thing in the world?:
Music. Everything from Classical to Rock, he will listen to it and find it beautiful (unless only about violence and sex. That just creeps him out).
One thing that no one knows about your character:
He likes other men. It's not like he will show it, though he is out of the closet and will tell the truth if asked about his orientation. He just doesn't really like women in /that/ way.
Oh, and he has a very weak heart. He's known this since he was a child, and only his doctor, the people at the orphanige, the proffessors from when he was a kid, and Kurt Wagner knew about it. He cannot be overly-stressed, or worried, that matter, or else there is the risk that his heart will stop. He has been taking anti-anxiety pills (among others) to keep himself alive since he was five.
Signature: I just thought it would be a good idea to put up his signature...I was being random one day and tried to make it look like something he would write.
Freddie's signature: I just thought I'd put a sample of Freddie's writing up here a well.
Roleplaying Sample: (just a little introduction I have of him, from when he was still going to classes)
"Good Morning World! It is now 6:00, and it's time to wake up!" shouted the radio. A figure underneith many covers, his large feet poking out from the ends, groaned and turned away from the radio/alarmclock.
"I said, GET UP, DANTE!" it shouted again, jumping off its table and poking the teen in the rump with its antena. The teen groaned again, something that sounded similar to "I'm up..."
"Good. You have a long day ahead of you! Now get out of bed and get dressed! It's your second day of school!" the radio said, hopping back onto the stand.
"Tell me again why I animated you, please. I can't remember, with you all annoying..." said Dante, now throwing off the covers and sitting up on the side of the bed.
"Because you still need a mother, and a radio's the closest you could get."
Dante stumbled into the bathroom of his dorm, and a toothbrush started moving up towards his mouth, toothpaste already put on it. "Open wide!" the toothbrush commanded cheerily, as it began to brush Dante's yellowish teeth. "You know, you should really switch to whitening toothpaste."
"Mhm...." he mumbled, as he spit out the toothpaste and went over to the closet.
"The normal, Dante?" asked the doors of the closet, opening up. Dante nodded his head, and several hangers dragged him into the closet and closed the door. A few moments later, he was tossed out of there, fully dressed. He had on a tight black tank-top, the band "Queen"'s logo on the front. For his pants, he wore regular black jeans, rusty chains hanging everywhere. Around his neck was a leather collar, that read his name in rusted iron letters. His thick, platform leather boots went up to his knees, though you couldn't see that too well.
A mirror hobbled infront of him, as he checked out his appearance. He was quite thin...skeletal, even, and extremely tall. He was also pale...so pale, he could be considered grey. His eyes were a calm, distant green-blue hue, that contrasted with his ebony-and neon green mohawk. From his left ear hung an earing, a skull hanging from it. In his arms rested a home-made doll, the head overstuffed and twice the size of the body. The doll had long black hair, and cute button eyes. He smiled, said "Thanks. See you later," to his posessions, and walked out the door. Before he locked it, he could hear them saying, "Have a nice day, Dante!"
Picture:
This is him at age 24, a few years younger than he is now...
And this is my own, MY OWN drawing of him. Bow down to his uber chibi-ness and my lack of artistic ability! AND THE NOSE RING I GAVE HIM!!!!
Age: 27
Birthday: Feb. 14, 1979
Nationality: Caucasian, though "Euro Dante" could be used. This is because he is Welsh, Irish, British, Norse, Finnish, French, Swedish, Greek, (very slightly) German, and Russian (from the small section in Europe) all rolled into one, hence "Euro Dante."

They are more of the, "Mindless" variaty, and will do what they are told. As you can guess, this takes a lot of energy out of Dante, so he only does it when absolutely nessisary (Plus, the more flesh still attacked to the courspe, the harder it is). Also, these are the only things that when brought to life can die again, by Dante's will or by conventional meathods (crushing them, burning them, etc. Stabbing them and taking off bodyparts doesn't count.) These courpses also tend to be difformed at times, so again he rarely does this. The final reason for this not being his main defence meconism is because he's still working on it. He cannot do that much with it yet...and it requires practice that he doesn't have the time for.

Freddie's signature: I just thought I'd put a sample of Freddie's writing up here a well.
Roleplaying Sample: (just a little introduction I have of him, from when he was still going to classes)
"Good Morning World! It is now 6:00, and it's time to wake up!" shouted the radio. A figure underneith many covers, his large feet poking out from the ends, groaned and turned away from the radio/alarmclock.
"I said, GET UP, DANTE!" it shouted again, jumping off its table and poking the teen in the rump with its antena. The teen groaned again, something that sounded similar to "I'm up..."
"Good. You have a long day ahead of you! Now get out of bed and get dressed! It's your second day of school!" the radio said, hopping back onto the stand.
"Tell me again why I animated you, please. I can't remember, with you all annoying..." said Dante, now throwing off the covers and sitting up on the side of the bed.
"Because you still need a mother, and a radio's the closest you could get."
Dante stumbled into the bathroom of his dorm, and a toothbrush started moving up towards his mouth, toothpaste already put on it. "Open wide!" the toothbrush commanded cheerily, as it began to brush Dante's yellowish teeth. "You know, you should really switch to whitening toothpaste."
"Mhm...." he mumbled, as he spit out the toothpaste and went over to the closet.
"The normal, Dante?" asked the doors of the closet, opening up. Dante nodded his head, and several hangers dragged him into the closet and closed the door. A few moments later, he was tossed out of there, fully dressed. He had on a tight black tank-top, the band "Queen"'s logo on the front. For his pants, he wore regular black jeans, rusty chains hanging everywhere. Around his neck was a leather collar, that read his name in rusted iron letters. His thick, platform leather boots went up to his knees, though you couldn't see that too well.
A mirror hobbled infront of him, as he checked out his appearance. He was quite thin...skeletal, even, and extremely tall. He was also pale...so pale, he could be considered grey. His eyes were a calm, distant green-blue hue, that contrasted with his ebony-and neon green mohawk. From his left ear hung an earing, a skull hanging from it. In his arms rested a home-made doll, the head overstuffed and twice the size of the body. The doll had long black hair, and cute button eyes. He smiled, said "Thanks. See you later," to his posessions, and walked out the door. Before he locked it, he could hear them saying, "Have a nice day, Dante!"
Picture:
This is him at age 24, a few years younger than he is now...
And this is my own, MY OWN drawing of him. Bow down to his uber chibi-ness and my lack of artistic ability! AND THE NOSE RING I GAVE HIM!!!!
