Since time and the universe began, there have always been the humans, Angels and demons. Once, the human and demon world where one and the same. The demons held dominion over the human world until the legendary dark knight sparda broke ranks and decided to fight for the sake of humanity. He turned on his demonic bretheren alone and sealed the demonic world from the human world. When sealing the netherworld, sensing his power had grown too strong, he intentionally sealed himself and his own demonic power in as well.
Later he escaped his prison and married a human woman named Eva, who would later give birth to his twin sons Dante and Vergil.

A young man walked through the streets of Honnoji City's No-Star distric, which was baisically the slums. His grey-blue eyes traveling down the dirt road infront of him.
The figure was a rather ruggedly handsome dark-skinned 18 year-old boy, with a slender but athletic build. He had a fairly rounded face with a scar across his right eyebrow and cheek. He had short, spiky white hair that was similar to a Faux Hawk style, with a light stubble on his jawline and slightly pointed ears.
His attire consisted of a black tattered cloak with red interior linings that reached his knees and surrounded his body with a faded reddish-orange scarf tied around his neck. Underneath the cloak he wore a black kimino styled shirt that had its right sleeve cut up to his elbow while the other was rolled up to the elbow, with white anchor-like patterns, and a grey sash tied around his waist. Underneath the kimino-styled shirt he wore an ordinary short-sleeved dark-blue Henely t-shirt. His right arm was missing above his elbow and was covered in white bandages and appeared to be replaced with, a puppet-like prosthetic arm with a piece of metal pointing from the elbow and bandages wrapped around its forearm with a fingerless glove (looks like Hyakkimaru's prosthetic arm from Dororo 2019). He also sported a wooden bead cross bracelet on his left wrist. He wore black pants with white stripes on the upper left leg of the pants, black bandages wrapped around his shins, ankles, and insteps that reached his upper legs with blue straps. His pants had a black tactical belt over his sash that carried a Desert-Eagle pistol in his cross-draw holster on his left hip.
This was Eli Redgrave, the illagetimate son of the Demon hunter Dante and grandson of the legendary Dark knight Sparda and current employee of his fathers demon hunting buisness 'Devil May Cry'. He was half demon like his father, well quarter-demon like his cousin Nero since his father was also half-demon as well.
'So this is Honnouji city. This place is a dump.' He thought as his pale blue eyes scanned the area. On either side of the buildings stood several different types of stores, selling everything from lemons to fish. The people in the market place skittered around like ants, going from store to store with more then they started with.
He got lost in the crowd. Even in the slums, the people where alive, bursting with energy. He couldn't help but have a small smirk on his face as this reminded him of his childhood...
Before it went to hell.
He shook his head, he didn't want to think about that right now.
He soon went to a nearby fruit vendor, purching an apple to sate his growing hunger. He took a good chunk out of the fruit with one bite, he then put in red earplugs in his ears, listining to music as he made his way through the slums, putting the apple in the satchel he wore.
He zigzagged through the civilians. Some took strange glances at him, either because they saw the katana on his hip or his strange choice of attire was anyones guess, but the rest of them paid him no mind as he walked up some stairs.
That was until a boy with messy brown hair ran by him, bumping into Eli.
"Sorry!" the brown haired kid as he started to run off. But he was grabbed by the back of his shirt and was lifted up from the ground by none other than Eli.
"Hold it. You have something that belongs to me." The half-demon teen said.
"I don't know what your talkin' about!" The pickpocket said as he tried to get out of the teenagers grip, but with no success.
Eli only looked at the boy dead in the boy with a raised, his pale blue eyes looked like he stared right into the thiefs soul. "Don't think I'm stupid. Hand over the apple and no one gets hurt."
"Man, and I thought I wouldn't get caught! Guys!" The boy yelled, and in a second three other boys showed up, brandishing makeshift weapons.
"Oh, I see." Eli said with a look that screamed 'really?'. "Trust me, kids. You really don't want to do this. You'd be suprised with what I can do with a human body. Especially when I use one of you as a club" He said with a threatining tone, which made the gang of theives hesitate.
"H-ha! I doubt that! Get him!" The leader yelled, and his buddy's charged straight at the dark-skinned teen.
Eli could only roll his eyes as he made good on his promise and swung the kid hard, sending his gang members flying with the amount of force.
The devil-hunter looked at the kids as they all groaned in pain, which suprised him since he used only enough of his strength to knock him out.
'Talk about resilient.' He thought as he dropped the kid on his head. "I may have overdid that a little."
"I'm sorry!" The boy shouted, moving back and groveling, his three friends appearing beside him. Eli couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Wait, what?" He muttered, confused.
"We're really weak against strong people! That's our strong suit!' The boy snapped.
It was at this moment that the teen scratched his head in confusion, but he gave a small smile. "Eh, guess I can't really hold it against you. I'll let it pass this one time, those bruises and bumps are punishment enou-" He didn't get to finish his sentence as he heard a female voice shouting from right behind the pickpocket.
"MATARO!" a young teenage girl with brown eyes and brown hair styled in a bowl cut, wearing a standard school uniform. Said girl then hit the boy who now known as Mataro was hit from behind with a book bag.
"The hell?" Eli muttered as he saw the display of the girl pinnining Mataro in various, rather painful looking holds on him.
"What have I told you about trying to mug people in the morning?!" The girl scolded.
"I'm sorry, sis!" The young pickpocket begged.
'I should probably leave.' Eli thought as he walked off, completely missing a girl who had dark hair with a single left-swept red highlight on her bangs, wearing a navy-blue sailor uniform with a red multi-colored scarf that had a design of an eye.
"Who the hell was that, Senketsu?" said girl asked as she continued to see the dark-skinned teen walk off.
"I don't know, Ryuko. But, somethings diffentely off about him." The sailor uniform, who could apparently talk, answered with a bit of unease.
"Yeah, I feel ya." Ryuko muttered as she saw the teen walk off. "And whats with his hair?"
But unkown to them Eli had a small smile as he jumped ontop of a nearby tram packed with students.
"That must of been the girl Mikisugi talked about." The cloaked devil-hunter said with slight ammusment as he sat down on the roof of the tram, taking in the view. "Ryuko Matoi."

"Class, today we are getting a foriegn exchange student today. This is Eli Redgrave and he will be with us all year." said the blue haired tired and unenthusiastic teacher, Mikusugi as he drew out the characters of Eli's name on the board.
"Yo." Eli said in his usual, laid-back manner as he waved his only hand, accepting the strange looks he was getting from the entire class. But the look he seemed to notice was the glare that he was getting from Ryuko. The teens stared at each other as blue eyes and grey-blue where locked and the whole room was felt with tension as both teens intrigue esculated.
"Ryuko, do you feel that?" Senketsu asked his wearer.
"Yep." The black haired girl nodded.
"All right Mr. Redgrave, there's a free seat behind Matoi over there." Mikisugi stated. "Be a bit wary of that one. She's the Kamui user I told you about."
"Yeah, I noticed." Eli said with a small hint of sarcasim in his voice as he moved over to his seat, and Ryuko's eyes never stopped following him, and her glare never changed. But the Devil-hunter wasn't really bothered by it in the slightest.
"What's up?" The white haired teen asked simply.
"Nothing. Just got a bad feeling." Ryuko muttered.
"Yeah, I feel ya." Eli said with a shrug. "But I guess alot of people are entitled to one every now and then." he said with a light chuckle.
"Hey, it's nice to meet ya Eli! I never thought an American would ever come to our school!" The brown haired girl from earlier shouted, shooting around. Eli couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Hey, aren't you that kids sister? Mako right?"
"Uh huh! Sorry about this morning! He never really learns!" Mako said with the same enthusiasim as before.
"Don't worry about it. Besides, after that ass-kicking I gave him, I think he might learn." He said as he leaned on his hand. Given the living conditions him and the other people where living in, he couldn't blame the young boy. Besides, he would be lying if he said he didn't do the same thing in the past.
"Doubt it." Ryuko muttered lowly, remembering her first encouter with the little half-pint.
"Ryuko, I'm still getting this really strange feeling from the boy... and I can swear it just feels... off, very off." Senketsu muttered.
"I wonder why..." Ryuko whispered, taking one more brief glance at Eli who was already having earbuds in his ears and seemingly listining to music.

With class over for the day, the students already fled the school building like a flock of startled birds.
That's one thing all schools had in common; the students couldn't wait to leave, which Eli couldn't blame them for since he wanted to get out of class himself, never really taking a liking to school.
After getting his stuff he walked out of the school building and into the courtyard, where a large group of students where located, encluding Ryuko and Mako, who where just talking with each other.
"Oi! Foreign exchange student!" A voice called out from the distance, echoing through the air. Just when that voice was heard the students from the present area moved out of the way, clearing a path towards Eli, who had an eyebrow raised. Across from him was a student wearing a white baseball uniform that had two stars on his chest.
"Yeah, that's me." Eli said. "Who's asking?"
"I, captain of Honnouji Academy's Baseball Club, challenge you to a duel here and now!" The captain yelled as he twirled his bat.
'On my first day, huh? I have to be on lucky bastard to get to fight one of these club captians this soon.' Eli thought with a sigh. "So I'm guessing someone sent you?"
"Correct! But you don't seem like much!" The captain yelled as grabbed a glowing ball. "Now, prepare yourself!"
The club captain ran at the teen with inhuman speeds as he jumped into the air and swung his bat down on the foriegners head, grinning as he thought the bat had hit the white-haired teens skull with inhuman amount of force.
But boy was he wrong...
Instead the bat was simply blocked by the white-haired teenagers prosthetic arm. He appeared didn't show any sign of struggle with the amount of force put into the swing of the bat.
"W-What the hell?! How are you able to stop my strike?!" the baseball captain yelled in complete suprise.
"'Geez, you talk to loud." the half-devil muttered lowley before pushing the club captain with an inhuman amount of force, before casually kicking the baseball wielding, sending him flying.
"Ryuko, did you see that?" Senketsu gasped, the sentient clothing staring wide-eyed by the strength the teen had.
"How could I not?" Ryuko responded with wide eyes. Sure she could do the same thing when but only when she activates Senketsu, but the fact that this guy was able to not only being able stop a two-star goku uniform user with little to no hassel, with no goku uniform was very suprising to her. So many questions formed in her mind at once.
"Wow! That guy must be super strong to block that! Right Ryuko!" Mako shouted with her usual enthusiasm.
The baseball captain managed to recover getting the wind kicked out of him, and from the furious that he was giving Eli, clearly pissed.
"It's not over yet!" the club captain exclaimed as he managed to barely get up. "I'll still pound you to the ground!"
'And he's still yelling.' The half-devil rolled his eyes, clearly not taking the threat seriously. He cracked his knuckles and charged at the captain with inhuman speed.
The club captain managed block the incoming punch with his spiked bat, blowing both No-star and One-star with the amount of force put into the strike, but not to where it would hurt them.
"Now do you see what this baseball spec Goku uniform is capable of!?" The captain laughed maniacally. "Now, eat this!" the club captain yelled as he swung his bat. But Eli dodged the attack in a blur. "What?!"
But before he could react, the white-haired teen appeared right infront of him.
"Missed." He said simply, and in a swift motion he gave his opponent a devestating uppercut and not a second later he grabbed his now naked opponent by the face and slammed his head to the ground. The force from the slam was enough to embed the club captains head into the ground, knocking him out in the process and turning his Goku uniform into shreds of cloth.
"Talk about keeping a low profile." Eli muttered, scratching the back of his head. "So I guess you got what you wanted. Ain't that right Kyriuin?!" He yelled as he looked up, and indeed a girl who looked to be about his age with long dark blue tinted hair that goes past her thighs and blue eyes. Satsuki looked down at the dark-skinned teens smirking face from up high, along with her elite four.
"That ones got a mouth on him." a very large, muscular young man (more like a giant) with blonde hair grumbled.
"I'm more interested from the data I can collect." Another young man with teelish, neat hair and glasses said. "A No-star defeating a Two-star with such ease without a Kamui or a Goku uniform is rather unexpected."
"Who cares?" A green haired teen said with amusment. "This guy looks pretty tough. This will be interesting to watch."
"Foreign exchange student Eli Redgrave!" Satsuki yelled, her voice commanding respect and gave off authority. "You have given me all I wanted to see! And as such, here and now, I shall put the same proclomation on you as I have put on Ryuko Matoi! All club presidents are free to battle you as the wish!"
Now a normal person would be threatened by that proclomation. It meant that any of the elite four or the various club captains would hunt you and fight you as you please. But then again...
Eli wasn't a normal person.
"Gotta say I'm a little dissapointed, Kyriuin. I didn't really come here to fight your buddies over there. But..." Eli said, pointing his prosthetic finger at her. "I haven't gotten a good fight in a while, so bring it. I've been looking for a challenge anyway."
"Now doesn't that sound familiar." Senketsu chuckled as this was all to familiar.
"Well then tough guy! Show us what you're made of!" A pink haired girl shouted.
"Don't worry. I will, Pinky ." Eli said as he walked away, giving a two-fingered salute, his cloak blowing through the wind. As he continued walking, he spotted Ryuko and Mako looking at him in different ways. Mako had stars in her eyes as she waved her hand at the dark-skinned forgeiner while Ryuko gave him the same glare from earlier, but he ignored her and continued walking out towards the city.

A few hours had passed and Eli was back in the no-star district currently using a phone booth to talk to his current employer.
"Did you really have to go with that little display of yours." The blue haired man named Mikisugi muttered, leaning on his apartment window.
"They're the ones that picked the fight. I just finished it." The devil-hunter simply said as he took a swig from a flask that he had in his satchel. "Besides, they shouldn't have sent some baseball nut to come and fight me anyway. Idiot didn't even last that long. You'd think these guys would be tough, but they might be as weak as a lesser demon."
"Still! You shouldn't act so rashly!" Mikisugi yelled in fustration before sighing. "Look. I'm just saying you need to be careful here in Honnouji Academy. You can't just perform you're usual 'Go in and kick loads of demon ass.' routine. Especially when there's a Kamui user here." Mikisugi said in his usual over dramatic and yet oddly serious way, which only caused Eli to pinch his eyes in annoyance.
He didn't like being treated like some type of soldier. He was a mercenary, a demon-hunting mercenary, but a mercenary no less...
As long as the pay is good of course.
"I'm really glad we're talking over the phone right know." The half-devil sighed as he continued to rub his eyes.
"And why is that?" Mikisugi asked.
"Because I don't have to see you strip your cloths. I get we're both dudes and all, but come on. That's a little bit suspect." Eli sighed.
"But it's because I am part of Nudist BEEEAAAAC-"
Cling
Eli hung up the phone before his employer could finish.
"Why does he always hang up?" Mikisugi sighed as he looked out of his window, his shirt now on the ground.

Hey guys! Sorry I went dead for awhile, but I'm back.
Now you may be wondering why Dante's oc son is african-american. Well I wanted to make it slightly diverse and I'm pretty sure during his younger years Dante had some one-night stands with some women before and the thought of him having a son that was black was cool to me. He is also voiced by Phil LaMarr who played the young Afro from Afro samurai.
The story takes place after the events of DMC 4, since Capcom confirmed the timeline a few days ago.
I also changed his name to Eli due to me not really liking his original name since Eli sounded way better in my head.
