Dante is, to say the least, very human. He feels fear, happiness, anger, anxiety, sadness, and all emotions you'd expect from a human. Sure, he might be better at most than hiding them, but he still feels them. He has his own desires and wants, which he'll try to fulfill. He isn't however, necessarily good or evil. He's shy, there's no denying it, but mistaking timidity for benevolence is an easy thing to do.
He'd kill someone if it meant his survival, and he'd do it without the slightest regret. He doesn't hold human, or otherwise, life in high regard. He does not believe in a god. He isn't however, the sort of person to indiscriminately go and kill whoever they want. He wouldn't, for example, kill someone just because he wanted to. He might even, if the consequences aren't too bad, save someone.
Dante is by no means an idiot. In fact, he's the complete opposite. He has a good head on his shoulders. His intelligence is better than that of most people, as are his analytical and deduction skills. He can, if faced with a problem, most likely come up with a solution in a short period of time. He, as far as he's concerned, only likes looking at the facts of a problem. He doesn't like basing his decisions on emotions, but will inevitably do so. On a similar note, he doesn't like letting problems escalate into issues. If something that bothers him pops up, he'll try to either isolate or destroy said problem.
Dante is a logical and rational person. He doesn't, unless factual and credible evidence is given, believe most things. As such, it's to be expect that he doesn't believe in any religion, but doesn't necessarily disbelieve in the idea of a higher being. He just finds it highly improbable. He's, in layman's terms, an agnostic leaning towards atheist. Even if he was shown that a religion was true, he'd still not have faith in their god. As in, he wouldn't believe that their god was good.
Dante is a sarcastic, snarky, and slightly acidic person. Sure, he's shy and gets flustered easily, but that doesn't mean he's a nice person. He, when around friends, speaks with sarcasm and tends to have a dark humor. He doesn't do this necessarily to annoy them, but more so due to him being this way. When around people he doesn't know, he generally just keeps quiet and has a neutral expression. He closes himself off and tends to try ignoring most people that try talking to him, mostly due to him not knowing what to say. He's not necessarily the sort of person to purposefully be mean to people, he just really sucks at talking to people.
Dante is, to say the least, very good with machines. He can take apart and put back together most machines and is well-versed in computer languages. He tends to wear clothes that reflect the time he spends with machines when not at school. These clothes tend to be clothes that aren't necessarily stylish, but are well suited for rough environments. When at school however, he just wears simple clothes, mostly due to someone having previously nagged him about it. We are however, getting off track. Dante is good with machines. He, due to this like of machines, tends to get a bit too excited at the mention of them.
As was said before, Dante is a shy person. He doesn't do very well in large groups and prefers to stay in small groups. He gets nervous very easily and, when sufficiently so, starts to sweat. If someone were to bring flowers to him, he'd probably be flustered and stammer like an idiot. He may seem calm and composed, but he's actually a very anxious person. Meeting new people takes more energy from him than it would a normal person.
Dante dislikes school, funnily enough. He finds it to be terribly inefficient, especially the paces at which classes go, and would much rather prefer to go into an area of work instead of going to school. Going to the Academy however, will help his resume very much. He, in school, averages at a 99% in terms of grades, but finds it tedious. He'll do his work, but he wont put much effort into it.
Dante is, to say the least, slightly coward. He gets scared quite easily. Instead of acting like a deer in headlights however, he has a tendency of putting into effect the 'fight' part of the flight-or-fight response. This has, of course, led to very awkward situations. He has, as a result, decided to take martial arts classes.
Dante rarely gets mad, preferring to keep himself calm and collected, but he does get really mad when he does happen to explode. He doesn't bother with snarky comments or sarcastic remarks. He goes straight to violence. He uses whatever he has on hand to channel his anger, be it a wrench or his fists. He doesn't stop at one punch, either. He goes full-out, to the point of most likely breaking the bones in his fists. It doesn't matter if the source of his anger is on the ground, he'll continue until he's tired. This is due to his unhealthy tendency to suppress emotions. When angered however, his judgement is cloudy and he can't very much think logically.

||Quirks||
Dante has a habit of folding the bottom right of the page he leaves in off a book.
Dante plays with a curl in his hair when deep in thought
Dante has a habit of making inappropriately sarcastic remarks at the wrong time.
Dante has a bad habit of punching anything and everything that scares him.
||Fears||
Dante doesn't fear death itself. He fears being unable to think, not existing, and the such for eternity. He can handle pain and torture, but not being able to think is the most terrifying thing he could think of. He'd rather, if given a choice, go to hell and burn for eternity than to never be able to think again.
Dante has a, believe it or not, fear of ants. Due to something that happened in his childhood, him drinking an ant that was inside a soda can, he's utterly terrified of them. As irrational as this is, he tends to flail when one is touching him. He's fine with seeing them, relatively speaking, but them touching him is terrifying. He can handle snakes and spiders, but oh no, ants are too much.
(Who are you in a pact with and for what cost be sure to ask who you choose to be in a pact with to plan out how they will work together and how they treat each other. Oh and if you have two character one demon and one human they CAN'T form a pact together cause it's only fair.)
||Strengths||
Technology
Dante can work with most technology with ease. He's able to disassemble and reassemble most machines, as well as making his own. If you need something fixed, you should ask Dante to do it for you. Of course, it comes with a price unless you're someone close to him.
Intelligent
Dante is very intelligent, if that wasn't obvious by now. He can learn to do most things with relative ease and come up with solutions for most problems before they become issues.
Loyal
Dante may be a coward, but he is loyal to those he cares about. Regardless of the situation, he'd sacrifice himself to save someone he cares about. He'd walk into a nest of giant ants, even, to save someone he cares about. He'd do absolutely anything and everything to save someone he cares about, regardless of the consequences.
||Weakness||
Cowardly
Dante is... a coward. He gets scared by most things quite easily and is hesitant to take risks. If you'd want him to, without the person having any relationship with him, save someone from a dangerous situation, he'd probably not do so. He'd also, if faced with a giant monster and near-impossible odds, run away quite easily.
Socially Inept
Dante, to be quite blunt, sucks at talking to people. Either he's too blunt and sarcastic, or he stammers like an idiot. As such, it's to be expected that he finds it hard to speak to new people even if he seriously needs to.

||Bio||
"I don't hate my parents, surprisingly enough. Sure, they were distant and hard to reach, but I don't hate them. I just don't care about them."
Dante Laporte was born to Leonardo and Maria Laporte. He was born before his sister, Virginia Laporte, and was a quiet child from birth. He rarely ever got into trouble or did anything that would be considered bad. Or rather, he never got doing anything of the sort. He might have or might not have done so, but that's a mystery even to him. After all, who remembers their infancy?
Either way, his parents weren't exactly the best of guardians. Well, at least not to him. They were distant and hard to reach. He sought praise and affection, but rarely ever got it. This didn't help his quiet disposition. He became more and more nervous, trying to perfect himself in all areas. He studied, got near
As it turns out however, his efforts were very much in vain. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how much work he did, they never really seemed interested in him. They gave him empty praise, of course, but that was obviously empty. He acted as if he didn't care, but it ate at him and his thoughts about himself. Was he not good enough? It seemed logical, at that moment. Of course it was his fault, wasn't it?
This acidic, self-depreciating logic continued for a while after it was brought up in his head. He became bad at speaking to people, wondering whether or not he seemed to be good enough. He began reading more books than he previously had, as to escape from the highly intimidating world. It was better than to actively pursue a goal that seemed impossible. He didn't however, see anything wrong with this wishing to hide from his problems.
Either way, the letter allowing him to go to Angel Academy was well welcomed. He'd have a chance to really prove himself, but he wasn't sure to who he wanted to prove himself.

||Relationship||
Virginia Laporte || "Hot-headed, childish, blunt, judgmental, and, for some reason, e-e-endearing. P-please don't tell her I said that, especially the first part."
Dante's thoughts on his sister are a bit complex, yet somewhat simple. He, first and foremost, loves her as family. To be quite frank, she's the only person he's actually gotten to caring for. Or rather, she's the only person that has been able to, so far, break the bubble around him. Either way, for better or worse, he loves her. He may not be able to openly say it, but he'd rather not anything bad happen to her.
Midnight Shadow || "I-If possible, I'd rather not t-talk about that shor- h-h-her.
From what he's heard, she seems to be the last person he'd want to meet. She's, to say the least, intimidating. That's really all there is to say on the matter. With his luck however, he'd probably end up bumping headfirst into her.
Desmoro Favouretter || "She seems nice."
If you were to ask Dante about who he found less intimidating
Nero D. Lucifer || "Who? O-Oh, him. I don't know."
Dante doesn't really have much of an opinion on Nero. Like, at all. Or rather, he doesn't know what to think. From what Dante has seen, Nero seems guarded.
