Dante Alighieri - Drakontas Empty Dante Alighieri - Drakontas

Post by Doc January 30th 2011, 12:21 am

Real Name: Durante delgi Alighieri "Dante"
Super Hero/Villain/Renegade/etc Name: Drakontas
Title: Pope Durante I
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Age: 746
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Hair: White
Eyes: Blue/White when using powers
Height: 7"/ 2.1 meters
Weight: 250lbs/ 113.4 kg

Costume Description/Image: As Drakontas, Dante wears a menacing set of armor discovered from temples all across the world. The armor serves as his protection from more powerful superheroes. It contrasts to his normal clothing due to being completely black
Spoiler:

Personality: The difference between Dante's demeanor as Pope and as Drakontas are not very different. Overall, when meeting new people, he is kind and gracious as anyone would expect from a Pope, he treats others with respect and even if one were his enemy, or one who does not share his belief, he will give them advice as he sees fit and attempt to give them enlightenment. He wears little robes, distasting the feel of such things, liking to wear things that were more free feeling to it. His anger does not come easily, but when it does his wrath is explosive. His thirst for knowledge has led him to use the same position he has for several hundred years. He wishes to keep the world out of his secret identity, for it would cause panic. Though some of his acts are evil, one cannot say that Dante himself is truly evil, but a man who searches for the light while walking in the darkness. He does not use his powers, either political, religious or magical, to gain monetary or material possessions, but finds and locates them himself.

History:

Spoiler:

Powers: (Note: Some aren't technically powers but what he has and can do)

Genius Intellect: Coming from being old beyond belief, Dante has attained an insurmountable amount of knowledge, ranging from military, literature, mythological or arcane origins. He is skilled with his mind to make strategic plans on the fly with his powers.

Diplomatic Immunity: Due to his position in the Vatican, Dante has complete immunity from the laws of other countries besides the Vatican. Even if one were to know of his position, they would not be able to confine him within a prison.

Position: Because of Dante's position as Pope, organizations of the world who know of his identity do not wish to reveal it. Due to the massive amount of Catholic people around the world, the Pope being branded as a villain would cause world-wide panic. Propaganda and the riots that would start over this could possible turn the world to chaos. Thus if a hero were to attack Dante while he was not using his Drakontas persona, they would be branded by those who believe in God as evil.

Poet and Writer: Dante is an excellent poet and writer, known for his piece, The Divine Comedy.

Summoning Magic: Due to many years of experience, Dante has found and tamed several magical creatures to do his bidding. He is fully capable of calling upon the powers of the creatures in order to aid him in battle. Each of these summons go in order of power level from lvl 1 - 6. Dante is also only allowed to have a set amount of summons in a given time. Dante is also only allowed to use the amount of summons that their summoning levels equal 7 in total if he wants to use them in full quantity and quality. If they are any more than that the power of the summons are reduced and their numbers are also reduced.

Levels and Amount per summon:
1: 30
2: 15
3: 10
4: 5
5: 2
6: 1

List of known spells:


Butterflies: A form of Nature Druid Magic, used to spy on enemies or keep monitors on areas when he himself cannot be there. The butterflies aren't powerful, just like regular butterflies and are completely incapable of damaging Dante's opponents. Dante uses this spell also to distract opponents while he attacks with other methods of attack. Dante can summon 30 in a single instance.

Spoiler:

STR: 0
SPD: 4
DUR: 0
INT: 4
EP: 0
FS: 0

Shades: A form of Gypsy magic which generates dark, slime-like energy that forms into what ever form he wishes. The result is a fighting force of minions about the same level as the above average human. Each of these shades can move by themselves and think for themselves, but they cannot go against Dante's orders. They can also be molded to contain items or weapons and can be molded to look like actual people rather than strange creatures. Though their bodies are fair, they are usually no match in single combat against skilled opponents. Their greatest trait is that they are nearly undetectable when they are in disguise (Meaning it is hard to identify them as not human). Dante can summon up to 15 Shades at a single time.

Spoiler:

STR: 2
SPD: 2
DUR: 2
INT: 2
EP: 2
FS: 2

Army of Hades: A form of Shamanistic Greek magic that allows Dante to summon upon soldiers from the deepest depths of Hades. The soliders fly through the air like spectres and swarm at Dante's enemies. These specters are intangible to inorganic matter, able to pass through solid surfaces, but are tangible to organic matter (trees, humans, animals etc.). The special thing about the soldiers is not that they are intangible to some things, they cut the "soul" of an opponent rather than their physical body. These are mainly used against opponents with powerful defenses. Dante can summon 10 soldiers at a time.

Spoiler:

STR: 2
SPD: 4
DUR: 1
INT: 3
EP: 6 (3 for phasing, 3 for attacking)
FS: 4

Path of Hungry Ghosts: A Buddist Monk spell that allows Dante to call upon the prisoners of the Path of Hungry Ghosts. These skeleton like creatures burn with fire they have suffered through. Upon release, they vigorously move to find sources of energy and suck it out of them. Once their teeth make contact, whether they break the skin or not, they gain a stranglehold on the being's energy reserves. If left on over a period of time, the ghosts will eventually drain the being to exhaustion. Dante can summon 5 at a time.

Spoiler:

STR: 4
SPD: 3
DUR: 2
INT: 0
EP: 2
FS: 2

Djinn: A Persian form of summoning which allows the summoner to summon the Djinn of the Persian myth. Dante is capable of summoning only 2 of these creatures. His two djinn represent fire and ice respectively, and to which he names them Efreet and Shiva. They are capable of working together in tandem in order to create combinations for attacking.

Spoiler:

STR: 2
SPD: 2

FS: 4

Minotaur: One of the greatest monsters in Greek Mythology and the only resident of the great Labyrinth. The Minotaur is currently Dante's most powerful summon, but also the one he uses only if he truly needs to use it. Minotaur is capable of fighting with intense superhuman strength, speed, durability and has a healing factor. However, the creature is not intelligent and is prone to simple tactics such as charging and smashing opponents.

Spoiler:

STR: 6
SPD: 4
DUR: 6
INT: 0
EP: 4
FS: 2

Weakness: Dante can die by any normal means that a human can, such as decapitation, blood loss and shock, though he is tougher than the average human.

Power Grid (Drak):

STR: 2
SPD: 2
DUR: 4 (When armor is on)
INT: 6
EP: 6
FS: 2

Character Image/Description: Despite being incredibly old, Dante has still retained his incredible physique towering over the heads of modern men. His body is evident of the powerful energies and herbs that have toned his physical body to human perfection. He usually wears robes similar to those worn by the Greek, wishing to become more intune with the energies of the world with the free flowing magic.
