10. Dante
My name is Dante the Demon Killer, has a nice ring to it dont you think? First off, I want to address the biggest and most drastic change to the franchise, the new, younger and more badass Dante. Those familiar to the series will remember Dante for his signature white hair and red coat. The red coat still remains to some degree but he no longer has his white hair which has been replaced with more of a punk rock" style. When this was first announced many believed it to be the worst decision possible but Capcom stuck to their idea and it has slowly been growing on players. Along with his new hair Dante is also much younger than his previous incarnation. He seems to be a young adult where as in the other games he was a full fledged adult who doesn't have a care in the world. In DMC, Dante is more of a mystery because he who doesnt know his heritage nor does he know the full extent of his abilities. Dante has much more of a f&*k you attitude and a badass demeanor. It not only comes across when he curses out demons but also in the way he carries himself around. Growing up alone, living as an "orphan" he has no ties to the world that surrounds him or the people in it. The only thing knows is that he is constantly hunted by demons who want nothing more than to kill him. But, that all changes when he meets Kat and is reunited with his twin brother Vergil. His tough exterior slowly begins to show a more human side that Dante didn't believe he had. He begins to care for people and create bonds with both Kat and Vergil risking his life for them and taking on impossible tasks. The second biggest change to Dantes is his story: he is no longer a half human and half demon. He is now a Nephilim. Only he and his twin brother Vergil are known in existence. This opens up the possibility for a new story dynamic as well as new combos and weapons. Speaking of weapons, returning are his trusted twin pistols, ebony and ivory, and his famous sword Rebellion. Along the way Dante will gain more powers and weapons such as the angelic scythe and the demonic axe. More weapons have been added to Dantes arsenal but I dont want to give it all away. I will however relieve that Dante will gain his classic white hair while in his "Devil Trigger" mode. This changes his hair to white and his coat to a bright red color. Time freezes and it gives Dante the ability to hack and slash enemies with added power and ferocity. "Devil Trigger" is very useful when you are in a tight situation or up against a boss battle. Dante looks to be a fantastic character that is not just a punk kid with family issues but looks to be a much more developed character with more to him than just hacking and slashing demons. We gamers have not seen such a rich and emotional Dante yet and it looks as though we are in for a good treat come January 15th.
