Dante Redstone
[edit]
Dante Redstone was born on a ship called Xiaah uv dra Cxiymm (Queen of the Squall) in the middle of the Sea of Jade. His family, a group of Al Bhed sailors, owns a fleet of cargo ships that transport goods between varying nations. At the age of 19 he left his family and accidentally ended up in Vesper Bay after a week at sea. He has since formed alliances with various groups and become the leader of his own Free Company, The Skyforge Sirens, and become the Captain of his own airship, The Crimson Harlot. Where the Hyur is normally a very nonchalant and easy going person that just likes to goof around and have a good time, but he can be extremely stubborn and hard headed when it comes to things he’s passionate about. He also hates seeing people upset or depressed and will go out of his way to try and cheer them up or help them in any way that he can. His natural ‘fix everything’ attitude has gotten him in more than his fair share of trouble. Though even when things feel bleak Dante will try and find a way to put a positive spin on things to brighten things up. Despite his childish and silly demeanor, he knows when to put his foot down and be serious, which can be off putting to people who are used to the former. The airship captain married a woman named Fayne Firestar and has also become the proud father of two children, a little girl named Ruby and boy name Sapphire. After an incident involving the primal Alexander Dante has chosen to step back from his normal reckless adventures and has taken to handling the business side of his free company and delegating tasks to his employees. Where he enjoys being able to spend time with his kids he sometimes misses the life of adventures he once had.
Dante has a toned physique and sun kissed skin from his various activities including sailing, smithing, and adventuring. He has various enchanted ink tattoos, most notably the tribal designs on his cheeks, that help improve many of his physical attributes and his ability to use magic. There are various nicks and scars across his skin, though the most notable one is the scar across his face. He typically dresses comfortably, wearing a tunic with a pair of shorts and jack boots with his signature ‘captain’s coat’. He will occasionally wear doublets and trousers to mix things up. Dante likes to consider himself as fashionable when the occasion calls for it and he also likes to dress the part for various activities. I.e. if he’s hunting with a tribe he will dress in their garb or if he is going to a formal event he will dress in a tux. When it comes to combat Dante much prefers light/medium armor to heavy plate to be able to stay agile yet still protected. He also doesn’t like large shields since he feels they weigh him down.
Dante is an open minded and adaptive individual. When he was younger he enjoyed going out to bars, taverns, and brothels to enjoy the company of others, though since he has gotten older and become a father he’s grown to appreciate more intimate settings. Having a glass of Blackbelly whiskey and a cigar with a friend is much more appealing to him now than going out and getting rowdy at a tavern. He is very open and welcoming of others which are both his biggest strength and weakness. He’s quick to adapt to others personalities as a way to familiarize himself with them as well as gain a level of comfort and trust with them. Though when seeking the best in people, he’s quick to try and dismiss faults as a way of saving the relationship even if it can prove to later be destructive. Over the years Dante has had many partners and is known to be rather lewd in nature, especially after years of doing art for courtesans in both Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah. Luckily his wife shares his promiscuous nature and where they are both very loyal to each other their semi-open relationship allows them both to seek out their more carnal desires without fear of jealousy or lack of trust. Despite his lustful and nonchalant nature he is still extremely family oriented and no matter what, his wife and kids will always come first.
Over the years Dante has shown quite a knack for picking skills of all kind. Wether it be combat, magic, or general life skills, he is usually able to get a pretty solid grasp on most tasks he attempts. Though with spreading himself so thin he is very much a "Jack of all trades, master of none" with the exception of a select few that he has truly poured his soul into mastering.
