---Character Information---
1.) Name -- Dante
2.) Character Bio -- Dante was introduced to alchemy over 400 years ago (1300's - 1400's?) by Van Hohenheim. In an attempt to create a philosopher's stone Hohenheim almost lost his life but was saved by Dante's impulsiveness. By transferring Hohenheim's soul into another alchemist's body Dante discovered what she believed was eternal life. For the past 400 years Dante has been using this same practice to maintain her immortality. And has also acquired vast Alchemic knowledge. She is ruthless in her ambitions and willing to sacrifice anything and anyone she deems inferior for the sake of her cause.
3.) Relationships with people -- Dante sees most humans as inferior and lowly and therefore doesn't think twice about hurting them. She is extremely controlling and domineering and ruthlessly exacts punishment on those who refuse to obey her such as the Homunculus she controls. She was married to Hohenheim until he subsequently abandoned her and their son(Envy).
4.) Likes -- Power, Van Hohenheim (Undoubtedly one sided), wearing large dresses and forcing others (Lust) to wear them too!
5.) Dislikes -- Humans, Edward and Alphonse Elric.
6.) History of the character -- Dante began studying alchemy about 400 years ago with Van Hohenheim. While trying to create a philosopher's stone Hohenheim was nearly killed. Dante impulsively sacrificed another alchemist to save Hohenheim's life. This caused a soul transfer and Hohenheim gained possession of the other man's body. Dante efficiently used this knowledge to preserve her existence for hundreds of years. And she used Hohenheim's example creation of Envy to create two homunculus of her own (Gluttony and Pride). Her ultimate goal is to have her homunculus manipulate an alchemist into successfully creating a philosopher's stone (She is apparently to afraid to risk her life by doing it herself).
--- My Info ---
1.) Why do you want to be this character? -- I want to play Dante because I admire her ruthless pursuit of her own goals and uncaring demeanor. Despite being extremely arrogant (probably more so than Pride) she never fails to prove her own talent and demonstrate her alchemical prowess.
2.) How far are you into the Anime? -- I've finished both Anime in their entirety and I own the first movie.
3.) How far are you into the Manga? -- I've finished the Manga for the most part.
-- Writing sample --
It was unfortunate enough that the tea was bitter to begin with, but it had also grown cold within only a few minutes. The tea's warmth was probably an equivalent exchange for the five minutes of introspection Dante was granted however, because in only five minutes she had formulated the perfect plan. Despite past errors on the part of her Humunculous she was more than certain this new blueprint was foolproof.... literally. With Greed out of the way and the Elrics presumably dead, no one could stop her. Now all she had was a past lover standing in her way. But not for long, Sloth would see to that. Her fuchsia pink dress rolled like waves on a shore as she stood up to retreat back to the ballroom. There where things that needed to be discussed... and not over cold tea.
(I apologize if this character is already taken! )
