Physical Description or Appearance
Dante is rather tall at 6 foot 2. He is well built with platinum blonde hair that is wavy, falling just above his eyes in an almost angelic way. His eyes are a cool grey that resemble a lion's eyes more then a humans and thus he always wears sunglasses or contacts to conceal them. He has longer then average canines and while in human form his voice is deep yet pleasant. He has a tendency to be casual in his style, wearing mostly t shirts and jeans. 

In his [url=http://pre08.deviantart.net/e0f8/th/pre/i/2012/063/c/5/manticore_by_tsaoshin-d4rpubh.jpg]True Form[/url] he has a coat of purple fur, a white mane, horns of a bull, and a large scorpion tail. His eyes never change between forms. In this form, his voice is less pleasant. It sounds more gravelly as if it is hard to speak. In this form he does not speak unless he has too. 

Personality
Dante is considered a friendly giant. He is kind, but when he is poked at he can retaliate. One should not confuse his friendliness for ease to be manipulated. He is smart and knows when someone is up to something they should not be with him. 

Bio
Dante was born among others of his kind. As he grew up, he realized he did not care for their ways and left, knowing full well he would never be allowed back. He ventured off on his own at the young age of 15 and realized his violent cravings needed an outlet and needed one fast. 
Finding that outlet with no proof of an education was difficult, but he was able to wiggle his way into professional fighting after getting his GED. Professional fighting allowed for his outlet and got him money along with the unexpected side of fame. The fame brought the hardship of being careful not to punch to hard or do something that should not be possible for a normal human. 
He was good at being careful until it happened. He hit a tad bit too hard and his opponent was severally injured. With that, he took off from that area and tried to move on, but his new reputation wasn't helping him so he now works as a bouncer.
Every few days he has to become his true self or he will become more violent, much like a werewolf, and find himself turning when he doesn't want to.
