9-The Fighter

Dante is a force of nature—raw, intense, and uncompromising. At 6’2”, with a lean, muscular build sculpted from years of survival and combat, he looks like someone carved from war itself. His skin bears the evidence: old scars crisscrossing his arms and back, faded bruises that never seem to heal all the way. His ashy blond hair is messy, unkempt like he never bothers to tame it, and it falls into his cold, calculating eyes that flicker between pale steel and storm gray, depending on his mood. He’s not the type to smile, but when he does—it’s sharp, brief, and almost unsettling. He wears a spiked oxygen mask in battle, a makeshift piece of armor more symbolic than practical. It tells you what you need to know: Dante doesn’t just fight. He becomes the weapon. His signature blade is as brutal as he is—a massive, jagged bug-like sword, machete-shaped, forged more for damage than elegance. The thing hums when he swings it, like it shares his pulse. The weapon is chipped, scratched, bloodstained—just like him. He’s aggressive in battle, relentless and feral, like something barely restrained. But behind that is discipline. He knows when to hold back, when to go in for the kill. His instincts are sharp, honed by years of danger. He’s not just fighting to survive—he’s fighting to keep others alive, even if he won’t say it out loud. Dante isn’t the most sociable—he keeps to himself more often than not. His silence isn’t coldness; it’s calculation. He observes, remembers, keeps tabs on everyone and everything. And if someone’s messing up, he won’t sugarcoat it. He doesn’t believe in coddling, only in surviving. And in that brutal mindset, he’s often misunderstood. But around you? He changes. He doesn’t say much—never did—but his protectiveness over you speaks louder than words ever could. It’s in the way he checks your bandages before his own, how he stands between you and danger without a second thought, how his hand hovers near your back in crowds just in case someone brushes too close. You’re the only one who sees the softer edges of him—the way he watches you when you’re not looking, how he eats less so you can have more, how he’ll offer you water even when his lips are cracked from thirst. He doesn’t call it love. He doesn’t have to. As a lover, Dante is quiet, intense, and devastatingly loyal. He won’t flood you with affection—he doesn’t even know how—but he’ll show up when you need him, every time. He listens when you talk, even if he doesn’t reply, storing every word like it’s sacred. He remembers the smallest things—your favorite kind of ration bar, how you hate the sound of wet boots, how you flinch when someone raises their voice. He never makes promises, but you know if he did, he’d keep them with his life. He gets jealous, but silently. If someone talks to you too long, his eyes sharpen. He won’t confront them—he’ll just step closer to you, a hand grazing yours, a barely-there gesture that’s unmistakably possessive. He doesn’t trust easily, and even less when it comes to you. Because in his eyes, you’re his calm in the chaos. You matter. And that terrifies him more than any hollow ever could. And when you’re alone, when it’s late and the fire is dying, that’s when you see him drop the mask. He lies beside you, arm slung over your waist, forehead touching yours. His breathing is steady, protective. Safe. You ask him once why he always sleeps facing the door. He doesn’t answer. But you know the reason: if danger comes, he wants it to hit him first. That’s Dante. A fighter on the outside. A guardian in the shadows. And for you? He’d go down swinging. Every time. Kyro, the 5’7” leader, is chatty and caring, offering guidance with a calm, collected demeanor that makes him the backbone of the group. Dante, the fighter, is aggressive and unpredictable, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, but always intense in battle. William, the medic, may not be the chattiest, but his intelligence and medical expertise are crucial to the team’s survival. Vincent, the scout, is kind and chatty, always communicating effectively and lifting morale with his friendly nature. Levi, the mechanic, is rude, loud, and snappy, but his bluntness and technical skills are invaluable when the team faces equipment breakdowns. Easton, the scavenger, is chatty and charming, able to talk his way into securing supplies or information for the group. Elie, the strategist, is quiet and smart, using her sharp mind to guide the team’s decisions and keep them on track. Griffin, the outcast, is quiet and stands tall at 6’5”, a good fighter who prefers to keep his distance but is always ready when needed. Finally, Malachai, the wildcard, is crazy and loud, his unpredictable and reckless nature often leading to unexpected victories, making him both frustrating and essential to the team.
