| − | A man of few words, the Coruscani known as Dante Erinith has a violent past; one that he is neither proud about, nor willing to elaborate on. A Command Sergeant in the Imperial Army, now aged 25, Dante has gradually come to accept the men and women around him. But as ever, he sleeps with one eye open. Any man with his past would.

| − | = Character History =
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Early Life == | + | =Imperial Personnel Profile= |
| | | | |
| − | Little is truly known about the earlier years of Dante's life. Details remain fuzzy, and the little confirmed facts are debated by those who knew him. The son of a Force User and a simple maiden; the worst way to enter a life.
| + | ==General Information== |
| | + | <b>Surname</b>: Erinith<br> |
| | + | <b>Given Name(s)</b>: Dante<br> |
| | + | <b>Race</b>: Echani, Class B Citizen - Expelled<br> |
| | + | <b>Gender</b>: M<br> |
| | + | <b>Rank</b>: Formerly Second Lieutenant, Imperial Army - Dishonorably Discharged<br> |
| | + | <b>Age</b>: 26 Standard Years<br> |
| | + | <b>Homeworld</b>: Rhen Var, Unknown<br> |
| | + | <b>Family</b>: Unspecified<br> |
| | | | |
| − | Even before Dante was born, his father had left Coruscant, as he considered the previous relationship to be just a fling; to be enjoyed like a toy, and then cast aside as such - at the very least, this is what he had been told by those who knew of the relationship. His mother, upon news of her pregnancy, fell into shock and died shortly after delivery. He constantly had to be watched over by others, such as neighbours, or dumped at the local bar, but more often than not would go off to do his own thing, hating the company of others since a very early age.
| + | ==Psychological Profile== |
| | | | |
| − | Fending for himself, Dante knew nothing of his father and little of his mother. The only thing he knew, the only thing he cared about, was survival. He didn't care who had to die or otherwise "disappear" to acheive that. For a while, Dante was the very thing he later despised; a parasite, living off other people until he no longer needed them.
| + | ===Social Attributes=== |
| − | Things stayed this way for years to come.
| + | <br> |
| | + | <b>Loyalty</b>: Dante is remarkably loyal to those he considers worthy of it. He is also very caring and protective of those under his command, often taking the heat for things that they did - gladly. A trait that was passed on from his own superiors. |
| | | | |
| | + | <b>Outspoken</b>: Dante often seems to speak out of turn, often touching controversial issues and occasionally coming very close to treason. He has never, however, explicitly crossed the line. |
| | | | |
| − | == Teenage Life ==
| + | <b>Control attitudes</b>: Extremely tolerant, Dante is willing to accept anybody and everything, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, past, religion, allegiance, et cetera. As he has mentioned many times, he could care less what somebody is, so long as they can do the job. |
| | | | |
| − | ''"Honestly? I lost my hope of getting out of this alive years ago, Jalrin. Our only escape now is in death."''
| + | <b>Dependability</b>: Dante is highly dependable, almost to a fault. When given an assignment, you can guarantee he will get it done. |
| | | | |
| − | http://polaritygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/dmc5_dante.jpg
| + | <b>Attitude towards Empire</b>: Dante has repeatedly expressed a surprisingly negative attitude of the Empire as a whole. More specifically, he sees the Empire as a vehicle of civilization, peace and cultural enlightenment; the people within it, however, he views in a completely different light. He does not, however, generalise; he is well aware there are "good apples" in the tree. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Dante, 2 years into his life as a Child Soldier. His eyes red through lack of sleep and insomnia.'''
| + | <b>Emotional expression</b>: From what can be seen, Dante typically keeps his emotions well under wrap; contrary to how he is often seen by others, he is immensely disciplined, particularly insofar as his mental state goes. He does, however, seem to have intense emotional scarring; it is unknown how he copes. |
| | | | |
| | + | <b>Fairness</b>: "Fairness" can be considered an understatement; Aedan views everybody in the same way and judges by similar standards, whether General or Private. |
| | | | |
| − | It was just like any other day; the dark depths of Coruscant's slums, dirty and damp to the core. It was approaching dusk, and even then a man could barely see his hand in front of his face. Now, an eight year old boy, Dante felt the same emotions flow through him, day after day; hate, fear, anger...the daily requirements for survival in the slums. But there was also lonliness; he wanted someone - anyone - beside him, so he didn't have to feel alone anymore.
| + | <b>Leadership attributes</b>: Dante has demonstrated himself to be a highly charismatic individual, demonstrating many traits of leadership. He does not, however, lead people most of the time, rather preferring to adopt the role of backbench adviser. |
| | | | |
| − | Almost as if in silent acknowledgement, men began to shuffle through the slums. Children disappeared, young men disappeared, all were taken by them. Dante could barely make the figures out in the night, before he felt a twig snap behind him. Quickly tilting around in alarm, he felt a sharp crack at the back of his head. Before he knew it, he was being carried; presumably by the one who had attacked him. Slowly, he lost consciousness, after saying a bitter farewell to the air.
| + | <b>Physical appearance</b>: Dante is known to adopt a variety of fashions, but he virtually never wears or uses Imperial Standard Issue clothing or equipment; perhaps an indicator of his individuality. Often wearing either a red and black styled trench-coat scheme, or white and black armor. On a more primal level he is admittedly a highly attractive man, and many specimens from both genders and many races have expressed interest in him. |
| | | | |
| − | After what felt like forever, Dante finally awoke in unfamiliar conditions. Slowly looking around while on the floor, he realised he was in a tent, and around him on the floor were men just like himself. No, not men...these were children and young boys like himself. They were all bound at the arms and legs.
| + | <b>Regard for Rules</b>: Dante follows rules, but only so long as they do not stop him doing his job. Once they get in the way, he tends to break them in a heartbeat. |
| | | | |
| − | Unable to move, Dante felt fear creep back to his mind. Before he could close his eyes, the ragged cloth covering the tent's entrance was swept aside and 3 armed men walked into the tent. One after the other, they dragged the children outside, as well as Dante. Lining them up in single file, two men examined the boys as the other kept his gun fixed on the others. Occasionally, children deemed moderately fit were moved away from the others. Those deemed unfit were shot on the spot.
| + | <b>Team Spirit</b>: While he often portrays himself as the loner, Aedan is an incredible leader and team-player, perfectly willing to put the lives of his men before the mission's completion. He never leaves his men behind, and he makes it a point to get to know his men, establishing a genuine camaraderie. |
| | | | |
| − | Dante was among the last to be examined. Full of fear, he thought a silent prayer and closed his eyes as he was inspected. He felt a sharp jab at his back after a minute, which alerted him, then he realised he was being moved towards the other still living children.
| |
| | | | |
| − | What was to follow would be 2 years of brutal training in combat and tactics. Many of the children Dante knew there died; those who remained changed. Some turned slowly into real men. Others broke and died on the battlefield. As a child soldier, Dante was forced many times to fight, often with weaponry he was either unfamiliar with or broke down after a few reloads. Never was he given any tactical information; he was little more than a piece of meat to his overlords.
| + | ===Individual Attributes=== |
| | + | <br> |
| | | | |
| − | However, Dante grew close to 2 other child soldiers; Kelda "Shake" Pelas, and Rasco "Lucky" Keltan. Over many battles, these 3 child soldiers sticked together; they always stayed with each other, and never abandoned their brothers no matter how outnumbered or hopeless the situation seemed. For the first time, Dante knew friendship. He felt an emotion other than hate. Alongside these two, he met many others with whom he would identify years later as a mercenary; the likes of Jalrin Trimence, Kain Trimence and Kad Gru.
| + | <b>Combat Skills</b>: Many times, Dante has demonstrated a remarkable mastery of the various combat arts. Well-trained in a variety of martial arts, including the Echani Arts, Teras Kasi, and some associated with the Jedi, he is also well-versed in the Lightsaber Forms, generally adopting Soresu and Juyo. With more conventional weaponry, he adopts a Bastard Sword, and has shown extreme skill in the use of sidearms, particuarly when using them akimbo. He tends to turn to Rifles as a last resort. While trained in the use of explosives and heavy weaponry, he usually avoids them, leaving them to specialists. |
| | | | |
| | + | <b>Pilot</b>: While nothing special, Dante does have in-depth training as a pilot, and can hold his own in a dogfight. |
| | | | |
| − | == The Felucia Affair ==
| + | <b>Achievement attitudes</b>: Dante does not seem to value personal accomplishment at all that much, although he often hides this behind a fabricated ego. |
| | | | |
| − | ''"That, my friend, is the smell of freedom. Enjoy it while it lasts."''
| + | <b>Emotional temperament</b>: Patient, tolerant, cautious. Yet outspoken. He does not take very well to threats to those under his command, although he tends to dismiss threats to himself. |
| | | | |
| − | http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/452584-bigthumbnail.jpg
| + | <b>Energy level</b>: Dante has displayed many times to have a near-inexhaustible supply of energy, and his stamina is inhuman. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Relaxing with a smoke, alone as usual during one of his rare hours off.''' | + | <b>Intellectual factors</b>: Intellectually, Dante's greatest asset is his common sense; he is streetsmart to the point of being a virtual genius. However, he also displays a massive wealth of knowledge, knowing many things you would expect only of experts. |
| | | | |
| | + | <b>Knowledge</b>: Dante knows many things he should not. This is best exemplified by his in-depth knowledge of Jedi and Sith Philosophy, as well as being able to out-knowledge even the Sith in regards to the finer aspects of the Force, and of Lightsabers. He also appears remarkably informed of the goings-on in the Galaxy, suggesting contacts, or a wide circle of friends. |
| | | | |
| − | Month after month, year after year, wars were fought and blood was spilled. Dante, Kelda and Rasco all fought and survived. Alone they would have broken, but together they kept their minds intact. After Dante reached the age of 18, the three of them were shipped to the planet of Felucia. Nobody knew why, although rumors abound that they were to attack the limited pirate presence on the planet. To the three of them that didn't matter though. It was just another war.
| + | <b>Mental Attitude</b>: Mentally, Dante is an enigma. Surface study has demonstrated that, mentally, he is in fact a child, suggesting potential cloning or mental stigma, and had undergone flash training. Experts dismiss this claim, however, suggesting other factors. Dante can generally be assumed as having a mental age of roughly 8 or 9 years. |
| | | | |
| − | They had already learnt that the whole affair "don't mean a thing".
| + | <b>Material attitudes</b>: Aside from his admittedly low number of personal possessions, Dante does not view material wealth as important. |
| | | | |
| − | The beginning of the end for Dante's career as a former child soldier ended on this planet. In a heated battle, Dante and his friends were seperated from the rest of their platoon. They were forced to make their way around on a planet about which they knew nothing at all. But they knew they were free.
| + | <b>Maturity</b>: While he may act immature, it has been shown several times that this is simply a facade; in reality, Dante is highly mature, and understands complex issues and situations at the drop of a hat. |
| | | | |
| − | After almost 4 days of non-stop movement, the three eventually came across a guarded spaceport; ironically, it was operated by the same organisation that enslaved the three of them. Making their way in, they managed to secure a YT-1300 called the "Shadow Flame" before coming under heavy fire. While Dante was ready to fly, Kelda and Rasco ran to the ship; however, the two were cut down by blaster fire halfway across the hangar, and Dante was forced to flee for his own life. The deaths of his two closest friends would remain on his mind for a long time to come.
| + | <b>Philosophical attitudes</b>: Dante questions many things, including the Empire itself. Politically, he sees it as the best island in an ocean of badness. Religiously, he tends to follow the side of Light. |
| | | | |
| | + | <b>Physical attributes</b>: Muscular and very well built, Dante seems built for combat. He is, however, extremely fast and agile, almost to the point of being inhumanly so. |
| | | | |
| − | == Life as a Pilot ==
| + | <b>Risk attitudes</b>: Risk does not intimidate Dante; in fact, sometimes he takes the riskier path just for kicks and giggles. |
| | | | |
| − | For the first time in many, many years, Dante Erinith was free.
| + | <b>Task performance attitudes</b>: While he often adopts a nonchalant, bored, lazy attitude, when Dante takes on a job he performs it to the best of his ability. Either do a job right, or don't do it at all. |
| | | | |
| − | It had been almost ten years since he could feel this sweet sensation which he once took for granted. But inside, Dante was hurt beyond any immediate repair. The two men he had befriended and fought many battles with - the men with whom he had bonds forged in blood and war - were now gone. Guilt and pain wreaked havoc on Dante's mind, but even now his will remained strong, keeping his santiy together, even if just barely. Yet on the outside, he appeared as he always did to an onlooker - cold and fiendishly perceptive. It was clear something was plaquing him, but for the life of them, nobody could find out what...
| |
| | | | |
| − | Over time, Dante befriended a Barabel named Kael Ta'em, a ranking operative of SYT Transport. After joining this company, Dante found a new set of friends, not all of them human - indeed, the vast majority of them were not human, and this is the basis of Dante's respect for nonhumans.
| + | ==Physical Description== |
| | + | <b>Height</b>: 6'1<br> |
| | + | <b>Weight</b>: 195 lbs<br> |
| | + | <b>Build</b>: Muscular, well-built<br> |
| | + | <b>Skin Color</b>: White<br> |
| | + | <b>Eye Color</b>: Heterochromia - Green/Blue<br> |
| | + | <b>Hair Color</b>: Silver<br> |
| | + | <b>Addendum</b>: Scruffy beard, indicating a degree of laziness<br> |
| | | | |
| − | Incredible to Dante, they all had a mere two things in common; an avid love of flying, and a fierce loyalty to one another. It was from his new circle of friends that Dante learned the ace piloting skills he would use in later life, as well as more about the galaxy in which he lived - knowledge which would prove to be painfully crucial in later life.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Eventually, after regaining his footing in the galaxy and learning as much as he could, Dante decided it was time he moved on. A born soldier, raised on the battlefield, it was rather obvious what his career choice would be - at least to Dante, it was. He was to become a mercenary, a gun for hire - selling his services to the highest bidder.
| |
| | | | |
| − | It sounded so romantic, didn't it?

| − | While many of the "missions" that Dante had found himself on were standard fare - pick up a package and deliver it to one person, take a passenger and escort them here, act as part of a convoy there - a number of them, despite beginning as a rather typical assignment, ended up evolving into something much more...entertaining. Two such incidents were the Sector Sweep of Corulag, and what Dante often referred to as the "Endor Adventure".
| + | [[Category:Individuals]] |
| − | | |
| − | Originally, Dante's task had nothing to do with Corulag. His mission was simple; pick up a cache of weapons - specifically, an A295, A280, Several Pistols of various models and the Force knew how much ammunition - from Coruscant and deliver it to Tatooine. It was likely that these weapons would be used to support the Rebel Alliance; at the time, Tatooine had been one of their rumored strongholds - the clients were quickly revealed to have been Eidola Pirates. However, this mattered little to Dante Erinith - it was just one more job that paid, regardless of who the clients were. Thankfully there had been no business with bypassing any Star Destroyers, but that was not the most difficult thing about this mission.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Shortly after the completion of the dropoff, Dante had received another task from the clients - the Eidola Pirates. This particular one involved travelling to the planet of Corulag, and picking up various men - other Pirates, no doubt - before transporting them back to Tatooine. Another standard mission, so it seemed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yet as soon as Dante had exited hyperspace in the same system as Corulag abord his prized YT-1300 "''Shadowflame''", he found himself being fired upon by a Sabaoth Destroyer. While this was strange and seemingly unprovoked in its' own right, the emblem marked out clearly on the side of this Destroyer immediately alerted Dante as to his predicament; it was an Eidola ship. Quickly coming to the logical conclusion that he had been sent here to die - no doubt distrust on Eidola's part - Dante immediately set about moving down towards the planet, knowing full well it would be difficult for the enemy to follow in any large number. However, he was too slow.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While the ''Shadowflame'' may have been a top of the line vessel - one of the best of the best - its' pilot was not, lacking the experience necessary to successfully avoid condensed fire from a capital ship. Taking hits, Dante realised that he would have to land on the planet whether he wanted to or not; the Hyperdrive could not activate properly under pressure such as this. Crash landing amidst the uncultivated region of Corulag, Dante found himself in a bamboo forest with a badly damaged ship. As if his day couldn't have gotten any worse.

He could use the skills he learnt as a child soldier to not only sustain himself, but sustain the galaxy as well, as he had done during his past life.

| − | '''Dormir Family Crest'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | A Nomadic Family Line of Echani, the Dormirs have no real known estate or homeworld; as nomads, they never particuarly settle, instead travelling where they will. As such, the Dormir Family has no allegiance to any specific faction, and it never has done - one Dormir may be an Imperial, the next a Rebel, the next a Pirate. Their only true allegiance is to the Echani race as a whole. Notably, some Dormirs - such as Dante Dormir - are some of the few to be adopted as Mandalorians while retaining their Echani heritage, a supposedly impossible task due to the two cultures' rivalry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A common trait of Dormirs is their rebelliousness and laid back attitude; even the youngest of Dormirs was known to be relaxed and calm in situations where others would panic, and the oldest known to be highly individualistic and rebellious. While not all Dormirs were stubborn, this was a relatively common characteristic - particuarly among the males - and shifting a Dormir could be compared to trying to move a Rancor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While not particuarly Religious, Dormirs often followed the way of the Force even if they were not Force Sensitive. The family churned out its' fair share of Force Users, and in general these Force Sensitives tended to have a fairly high rate of Midichlorians. They also tended to adopt neither side of the Force - Dark or Light - instead deciding to utilise both sides whenever the need called for it; the most prominent example was Jias Dormir, otherwise known as "Revelar" or the "White Wolf", who was known to wield both Healing Powers and Lightning Powers with equal proficiency. As a result of the Midichlorians, even the non-Force Sensitive Dormirs have relatively high reflexes and reaction times compared to other humans, as a result of their genes. Needless to say, however, they are still nothing in comparison to a Force User's.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Aside from these facets, there is little that ties one Dormir to another Dormir. Like all Echani, Dormirs tend to have Silver Hair and Eyes - the only exceptions so far to this are Dante Dormir and Rick Dormir; Dante instead possesses Green and Blue eyes. This is a result of his mother, Elia Erinith, who also possessed Heterochromia. Rick, on the other hand, possesses Icy Blue eyes - again, this is believed to be due to Elia's genes.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Dante does not appear at all particuarly unique at first glance - however, further study of his appearance would quickly indicate otherwise. The first thing many people notice about him is either his unorthodox dress sense, or his eyes - one being coloured bright green, and the other dark blue. Many people attribute this down to a genetic condition, however his Brother does not possess this facet, which implies otherwise. Aside from his eyes, he normally has very low amounts of facial hair - enough to look dashing, yet not enough to be downright grotesque. Overall, he appears to be particuarly attractive in his own way, although more often than not he does not take advantage of this natural advantage. Also of note is his hair - naturally, it is coloured Snow White. However, preferring not to be asked questions as to his Echani Heritage, he tends to dye it either black or brown, depending on what's available.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As earlier noted, his dress sense is not what an Imperial would call "Orthodox". He is rarely - if ever - seen in his Imperial Uniform, always sporting another outfit as if deliberately trying to avoid wearing it, and he is known to avoid a number of official occasions in which he is forced to wear it. It is unknown whether this is due to his innately rebellious personality, his preference for his own clothing and armor, or just downright distaste of anything which doesn't include a longcoat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His first - and typical - appearance is perhaps a one-of-a-kind look, especially within the Empire. The first thing to be noticed about his fashion sense is that it revolves around two colours - Red and Black, with a focus on the Red aspect. The usual outfit is a tailed long-cait, Red in colour and stretching far enough down to touch his boots at the back. The tops of the boots are oriental in appearance, Red with Gold Dragons encircling it on the fabric - under this he usually wears his armored boots. Moving further up his plain black pants - serrated by a red stretch at his groin region - and before it can continue on, it is blocked off by a belt - this belt is black in colour, with a Silver Sigil as a buckle. He has 3 more such belts - albeit with gold buckles - with two of them just above the first belt, and the third one across his chest, just below his ribs. The shirt is a zip variety, jet black like the pants, and collared - these collars are usually left to droop down slightly, and the zip is undone a little at the chest for comfort. Continuing down his arms, they are left bare once the black region of his sleeves are encountered - after his elbows, all he wears are fingerless gloves, or his Armored Gauntlets when he is at the Dojo.

| − | = Personality =
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first thing to strike a person talking to Dante - or perhaps even looking at him - would be his laid-back attitude, as well as his apparant fearlessness. Even when speaking with people who could annihilate him in a second, he speaks indifferently with a casual attitude, often mouthing off to those with authority over him such as higher ranks and Force Users. This is due to his naturally rebellious personality, which was nurtured through years of living alone - be it as an orphan, or a child soldier, and it often gets him into troublesome situations within the Empire. Indeed, it may be the single reason why he does not advance as quickly as one would expect.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, there is a line drawn between rebellion and respect, one which Dante walks carefully. More often than not, the people he mouths off to the most are in fact the people he respects the most. However, Dante dislikes outward shows of appreciation or being inferior to others, and instead turns to other avenues. Looking past his rebellious attitude, he has a deep personality. Stubborn by nature, it can take a lot to get him to change his mind, although he is known to cave in occasionally when the odds are against him. Contrary to popular belief, he is in fact an incredibly disciplined man - skilled in the martial arts and able to think calmly and rationally, he can hold his tongue fine when he wishes to, moving his face over in a veil of pure serenity. This has led many people to consider his rebellious attitude as a facade, to protect his own emotions - however, this is untrue.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Above all else, Dante treasures honesty and loyalty. He despises dishonesty and traitors with a passion, which is only equalled by his hatred of those who suck up to their superiors to gain rank - to him, the gravest form of dishonesty and deceit. Once again this is in-tune with his attitude, and is often attributed as simple jealousy - a fact which irritates Dante greatly, and does nothing to help his relations with his superiors.

| − | One of the few positive traits commonly attributed to Dante by others is that he has a deep sense of morality and justice, as well as a profound honor code which he abides to even deeper than his loyalty to the Empire. If he were ordered to shoot a civilian by a man higher ranked than him, the chances are he would headbutt the officer in the face instead of shoot an innocent man.
| |

| − | However, despite his rebellious and stubborn attitude, Dante tends to come across as a reasonably nice man once a person has earnt it. And although it is a monumental task to attain his trust, this trust could be perhaps one of the greatest weapons in a man's arsenal.

| − | The Polar Opposite of Dante. The older of the twin brothers by an hour, Rick was seperated from Dante at birth and taken to Rhen Var, where he was brought up personally by his father Jias Dormir. He grew up learning how to fight, hunt and survive, and many of his conversation with his father were about philosophy and combat tactics; never did they truly share a father-son moment. Jias would often compare Rick to Dante, wondering which one would be superior and pining his hopes on Dante; this greatly irritated Rick, and instilled in him an early hate of his brother. This was later revealed to be an attempt by Jias at seeing Rick's capabilities with the Dark Side.

| − | In tune with his contrast to Dante, Rick wore a blue three-tailed longcoat with white details - a design which Dante later adopted for formal occasions. Also, unlike Dante, Rick would slick the front of his hair up; otherwise, the two were almost indistinguishable, especially at a distance. Like all Echani, Rick had snow white hair; however, his eyes were icy blue instead of silver. This is believed to be a result of his mother's genetics, although it is unknown as to why Rick did not inherit Heterochromia like Dante did.

| − | Rick was a Force User aligned with the Light Side, and wielded a Blue Lightsaber. He never touched guns, as he believed they were dishonourable to a swordsman; he only ever used a Lightsaber, Sword or the Force. Chill and coldly-logical, Rick was virtually the opposite in personality and temper to Dante; Dante was warm and outspoken, whereas Rick was cold and reserved. Dante edged towards the Dark Side and aggressive techniques, whereas Rick edged towards the Light Side and defensive techniques. However, they did share several traits; both had a sense of style and fluidity to their movements, and both seemed to possess no fear whatsoever - indeed, Dante skipped fear altogether and moved directly on to anger, and Rick's combat style was more akin to dancing than fighting. As well as this, despite his cold and logical attitude Rick was a good person who merely wanted what was best for his family and the Galaxy as a whole; he was merely misguided in this by his father.

| − | Traditionally, Rick utilised the Lightsaber Forms "Soresu", "Ataru", and "Niman", and was generally considered to be a superior Lightsaberist to Dante - however, he was weaker in the Force overall, as Dante could overpower Rick in a Force-Power based battle. Rick had the Force Facet "Telepathy", and focused his powers around Push, Pull, Force Aura, Stasis, Speed, Deflection,

| − | Originally, Dante and Rick did not get on at all; indeed, Rick often sought Dante out solely to do battle with him in an attempt at killing him. However, over time the two began to form a brotherly bond with each other, and several times were forced to work together in order to defeat interruptions to their battles. Eventually, Rick realised Dante was not evil as was originally believed, and joined him in order to try and stop their father. Together, they were twice as powerful as they were alone - Dante focused his attention on supporting Rick with Force Powers, while Rick held off melee-based opponents with his Lightsaber. United, it was said they were unstoppable.
