Character Name: Dante
Character Species: Spider
Character Appearance:
Character Specialty
Species Special: Spider Silk:
Orb-Web Projectile:Dante can generate and fire a condensed sphere of silk that expands mid-air into a fully formed Orb-Web. Upon impact, it will ensnare and immobilize enemies in a sticky, geometric trap that binds them to the nearest floor or wall.
Tactical Silk-Swinging: With four arms, Dante is a master of momentum. He utilizes his high-tensile organic silk for rapid swinging through the urban canyons of Starlight City, or wherever he happens to be, while his two other arms remain free allowing for mid-air multitasking.
Character Personality:Dante is acquainted with a different Starlight City that doesn't show up on a tourist brochure. The abandoned subway tunnels, secret warehouse parties, silent rooftop gardens, and the misty base of Starlight Mountain at 3:00 AM.
Forget a "can-do" attitude. He has more of a "might-do-if-I-feel-like-it" kind of energy. He's a bit of a chaos magnet, often seen wearing a lazy lopsided grin while leaning against a brick wall offering free criticisms to passersby, or lost in stoic reflection sitting on a downtown fire escape fortynine stories high, just watching the world go by.
On the surface a cynical, street-wise punk who's slow to trust and always prepared for things to go wrong, who only cares about the next underground bass show. He’ll use his webs to trip people up or steal a snack from a street vendor just for the fun of it. He acts like he's seen it all and that nothing matters, but secretly cares deeply about the small, the unwanted, the lost, and forgotten. A clandestine observer who (literally) hangs out in the rafters of abandoned industrial zones, appreciating the forsaken side of the world through six eyes.
Quick Background:Dante drifted into Starlight City about five years ago after his previous home was "redeveloped" (destroyed) during a nameless conflict. And he's survived by working as a freelance courier for the city's underground, moving sensitive and high-value packages through the rafters and rooftops where cameras can’t see.
Now Dante doesn't just live in the city; he can feel its pulse through the soles of his sneakers. He knows which rooftop has the best view of the mountain's peak and which alleyway leads to the glitch-hop clubs where the city's misfits hang out. He's gotten to know the area and made a few quiet connections outside of the professional kind like the owner of a local vinyl shop and a stray cat he feeds near the Extreme Gear track, but mostly he tries to stay emotionally unattached and ready to leave.
