New York City; The City that Never Sleeps, The Big Apple. The streets are bustling with people rushing to get to their intended destinations, many of them opting to reduce travel time by means of a taxi cab or the subways. Let's not forget the road and its ever present traffic!
Making his way through the crowd is a teen approximately nineteen years of age, taking care to not drop the pizza box currently tucked under his right arm. To those who did not know him, he would give off the appearance of an aspiring musician if one were to judge by the guitar case slung across his back, the leather strap held taut against his torso but not to the point where his mobility would be hindered. Even his clothes, while a tad unique, allowed him to blend in and project himself as an unassuming pedestrian. Currently he wore a pair of black jeans and a light grey tank top. (Or is it a wife beater?) His feet were protected by a sturdy pair of pitch black combat boots while his hands were partially covered by a pair of equally black gloves with the fingers cut off. On top of it all, he sported a hooded, knee-length jacket. It was a dusty blue In terms of color, with the exception of a vertical red stripe running down the center of the hood's exterior. On one of his sleeves, halfway up the bicep, was the Union Jack, carefully stitched into the soft yet sturdy fabric of the jacket.(Dante's appearance in the upcoming installment of the Devil May Cry franchise.)
He weaved his way through the crowd, trying to locate a less cluttered setting where he could enjoy the freshly made pizza while it was still hot. Dante wandered around the Concrete Jungle for nigh on twenty minutes before admitting to himself that he was lost. Out of options, Dante proceeded to ask a random pedestrian for directions/recommendations for somewhere with such a setting. After spending ten minutes to navigate his way through the busy streets, he finally reaches his intended destination: Central Park. It could have taken less time to arrive, but he had spent the last of his money on his pizza and so was unable to pay for a taxi cab. Walking to the nearest park bench, he quickly made himself comfortable and opened the box, inhaling the life-giving aroma of the deep dish, large pepperoni pizza.
Encouraged by his overwhelming hunger, he quickly grabbed a large slice, disappointed that there was barely any warmth being emitted by the recently baked delicacy. 'Pizza is pizza' thought Dante, After a brief moment's hesitation, he brings it up to his mouth and digs in, savoring the to die for taste of his favorite food…Next to strawberry sundaes of course but that's more of a dessert. Making short work of the food before him having eaten all but one piece of the pizza, his thoughts begin to wander.
Dante replayed the events of the last four months though his mind. 'Huh… Hard to believe that so much has happened in such a short amount of time. I never thought my personal vendetta against all of demon kind would be the prelude to my bizarre life,' muse the young half-devil, feeling a brief pain in his chest as a result of his sorrow at his mother's death at the hands of a demon. He can hide his pain better than most people can, but that doesn't stop him from missing his mother, Eva, every day. 'That's why I fight. I fight not just for revenge but to protect others from the misfortune of having to suffer the same fate,' Dante reminded himself as he brings his hand to a rest on the amulet his mother had entrusted to him on his seventh birthday. It was the last birthday he had actually celebrated; his mother having been killed before he had even turned eight and thereby left him as an orphan, all alone in the world from that point on…or so he thought. Dante found his thoughts drifting towards his twin brother Vergil, his only remaining family for all he knew. Dante squeezed the amulet once more, reinforcing its sentimental value with the thought that it was the one thing linking him, his brother, and their mother together. After over a decade of being separated, (Though Dante was unaware of his existence) they had been reunited by the efforts of his friend Kat, a member of the Order: a group that rebelled against the demonic tyranny in Limbo City. Albeit unwittingly, she had brought a broken family together again. Dante was rather surprised in learning that not only did he have a brother, but said brother also led the Order, and was also the masked individual who would broadcast anti-demon videos that would circulate around the internet shortly after. Everything seemed to just take off from there. What, with his efforts in assisting the two in their goal to wrest the control of Limbo City from demonic forces. He personally struck down the man behind it all, a man who was under the delusion that he was a god.
Two months later, Dante had decided to relocate after having had enough of Limbo City for a lifetime, And so, he journeyed to America, having chosen a spot on the globe at random. While there was the obstacle of leaving the camouflaged city/continent, he succeeded thanks to there no longer being demon to hold the illusion of no escape from their place behind the scenes. From there it was easy to snag a ticket for a boat that was leaving for America but a week after the illusion was terminated. In hindsight, Dante realized it was rather stupid to leave with only enough money that had miraculously lasted the two days he had been in the country.
Making a note to himself to look for a way to make money using his unique…talents, he laid his tired body on the bench, rolling onto his side before drifting to sleep.
