"So, he has come out of hiding... Ensure that he reaches the Inner Sanctum. We have things to discuss." "Very well. Shall I send away your apparitions?" "Leave them. They will be of no threat to him." - Shadar and Velon, shortly after Slade's appearance at Ragdim
"Why, what's so special about Dante?" "He's an unstoppable force of fierfekking nature who has put me on my shebs more times than I really care to talk about at the moment." - Keth and Jane Lemen discussing Slade, under the guise of Dante
"Dante" is, as of Year 13 Day 72, Dishonorably Discharged for a variety of reasons. However, no word has been heard of his whereabouts or his current activities; he seems to have dissolved into thin air.
Slade Evalescer is an ancient figure of seemingly little repute, having kept his identity and activities secret across the centuries. His race is unknown, but his most common "birth" is that of an Echani, the silver-haired and silver-eyed warrior people who are commonly placed in the same boat as the Mandalorians.
His power - or perhaps lack of it - is unknown, but given his immense age it can generally be assumed he has no small level of such. An eternal rival of his polar opposite and kin, Galahanzer - otherwise known as the Malevolent Cloak "Shadar" - Slade is considered by those privy to such things to be, alongside Shadar, one of the last of the Avatars; living, breathing embodiments of the Force itself, embodying both Ashla and Bogan.
Of course, his life did not begin as such; or at the very least, this is the general assumption. Very few know of Slade's existence, and even fewer know him as a person, the numbers of whom being counted on a single hand. He lives and dies just like any other sentient - he is born, he lives, and then he dies. However, the Avatars exist on what is referred to as a "Wheel of Reincarnation" - they are reborn every now and then, retaining their memories and identity, and as a result they are considered by some to be truly immortal.
His goals and motives are unknown. However, he has taken part in a variety of historical events, either directly or indirectly, shaping them and manipulating them to fit his purposes. However, unlike his "twin" Shadar, Slade is not a creature of malevolence; instead, he acts and fights according to the greater good, and tends to operate more on his sense of Ashla than on his sense of Bogan, in contrast.
-OOC: It should be kept in mind that the vast majority of this article is in Dante's Personal Datapad, and thus is not public knowledge. Everything about Dante Dormir, his Relationships, and "Born Again" is in it, and anything beyond "Born Again" is replaced by an unassuming, false story. Anything else can be seen by the public. -

Age: 26 Standard Years
Preferred Religion: Potentium Ideology, Ashla Persuasion
Homeworld: Rhen Var, Unknown
Family: Unspecified
==Psychological Profile== - Outdated as of Year 13 Day 72 Social Attributes
Loyalty: 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.
Outspoken: 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.
Control attitudes: Extremely tolerant, Aedan 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.
Dependability: Dante is highly dependable, almost to a fault. When given an assignment, you can guarantee he will get it done.
Attitude towards Empire: 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.
Emotional expression: 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.
Fairness: "Fairness" can be considered an understatement; Aedan views everybody in the same way and judges by similar standards, whether General or Private.
Leadership attributes: 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.
Physical appearance: 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.
Regard for Rules: 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.
Team Spirit: 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.
Individual Attributes
Combat Skills: 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.
Pilot: While nothing special, Dante does have in-depth training as a pilot, and can hold his own in a dogfight.
Achievement attitudes: Dante does not seem to value personal accomplishment at all that much, although he often hides this behind a fabricated ego.
Emotional temperament: 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.
Energy level: Dante has displayed many times to have a near-inexhaustible supply of energy, and his stamina is inhuman.
Intellectual factors: 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.
Knowledge: 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.
Mental Attitude: 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 being roughly 8 or 9 years of age, mentally.
Material attitudes: Aside from his admittedly low number of personal possessions, Dante does not view material wealth as important.
Maturity: 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.
Philosophical attitudes: 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; many have described him as an Antihero, or more specifically a "Knight in Sour Armor". He is cynical, but a good man insofar as philosophy goes.
Physical attributes: 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.
Risk attitudes: Risk does not intimidate Dante; in fact, sometimes he takes the riskier path just for kicks and giggles.
Task performance attitudes: 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.

Character History (Slade)
Character History (Dante Dormir)
Early Life
Little is truly known about the earlier years of Dante Dormir'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.
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 neighbors, 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.
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 achieve that. For a while, Dante was the very thing he later despised; a parasite, living off other people until he no longer needed them. Things stayed this way for years to come.
Teenage Life
"Honestly? I lost my hope of getting out of this alive years ago, Jalrin. Our only escape now is in death."
Dante, 2 years into his life as a Child Soldier. His eyes red through lack of sleep and insomnia.
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 loneliness; he wanted someone - anyone - beside him, so he didn't have to feel alone anymore.
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.
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.
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.
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 realized 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.
However, Dante grew close to 2 other child soldiers; Kelda "Shake" Pelas, and Rasco "Lucky" Keltan. Over many battles, these 3 child soldiers stuck 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.
The Felucia Affair
"That, my friend, is the smell of freedom. Enjoy it while it lasts."
Relaxing with a smoke, alone as usual during one of his rare hours off.
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.
They had already learned that the whole affair "don't mean a thing".
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.
After almost 4 days of non-stop movement, the three eventually came across a guarded spaceport; ironically, it was operated by the same organization 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.
Life as a Pilot
For the first time in many, many years, Dante Dormir was free.
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 sanity 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 plaguing 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 non-humans.
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?
Grounded
"Seems to me like you could use a hand." | "Pal, we could use a hand, foot and head. Fuck it, we'll take your whole damn body." - Dante and Jalrin, as Dante offers his assistance.
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".
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 aboard 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.
Naturally however, it could have - and did. Not long after Dante's abrupt landing the Shadowflame had been located by detached remnants of a local organization known as the "Dejar Tigers". Knowing full well that he would have been killed should he put up any resistance as there were simply too many of them, Dante reluctantly surrendered and allowed the platoon to take him to their main base of operations. There, Dante re-met a man he fought alongside during his time as a Child Soldier, the Corellian known as Jalrin Trimence. As well as this Dante also met the primary woman in Jalrin's life, an Arkanian called Cynthia Delores.
Having recently returned from an infiltration of a nearby hostile outpost, Jalrin welcomed his old comrade and friend to the camp, explaining the situation. A Local Government had been shattered a month earlier due to the efforts of a splinter faction of the Eidola Pirates, and it had split into two separate groups; the Tigers who were remnants of the old Government, and there were also the so-called "Lions", those who had allied themselves with the Eidola Pirates.

Offering his aid, Dante joined Jalrin on a number of excursions out into the wilderness of Corulag, striking hit-and-run blows against the numerically and technologically superior Eidola Pirates, whittling them down little by little over many weeks. Eventually, the Tigers and Lions were pulled into one large field battle several miles away from the major starport-city of Malreach. However, the Tigers were both outnumbered and outmatched, and were routed in a decisive battle that lasted almost a day. Dante, Jalrin and Cynthia took a small detachment of remaining forces and fought their way out shortly before the battle was over, eventually managing to outpace the pursuing Eidola forces.
Jalrin was devastated, and understandably so. He had worked long and hard to secure Corulag's independence, and now his work had gone up in flames. However, this was a mixed blessing as he was no longer tied down with the battle for independence, and so Jalrin deigned to travel at Dante's side once more; or at least until he could regroup with his brothers. Cynthia, naturally, tagged along, and as the weeks passed the trio repaired the Shadowflame. They left abruptly, separating days later on the planet of Corellia.
Dante, on the other hand, left in pursuit of the Eidola Pirates - or more specifically, information concerning them. He could not act on it for the time being, but he knew that in future he may be able to extract his vengeance upon them.
The Endor Debacle
A month passed as Dante continued his search for information. The few leads he had picked up were running dry, and given several assassination attempts by Bounty Hunters, Dante assumed the Pirates knew he was on their tail. Growing desperate, Dante's determination found itself reignited by a lead sent to him by Jalrin Trimence, who had by now regrouped with his siblings. Having separately been investigating on Dante's behalf, Jalrin uncovered evidence that the Eidola Pirates operated a slave run around Endor.
While it puzzled Dante as to why - ewoks hardly made the best slaves given their physical qualities - he did not question Jalrin's intel, and he immediately set course for Endor. He and the Trimence Brothers had agreed to rendezvous not far from the outpost itself, where they would proceed to destroy it and leave before the Pirates were any the wiser. Of course, the best laid plans of mice and men often went awry, and so Dante suggested a number of alternatives that could be enacted in the heat of the moment. Just in case his fears proved true.
Moving carefully this time, the memory of Corulag fresh in his mind, Dante landed on Endor and entered the forest proper. He knew where he was going, and had landed a fair distance away, well aware that the Pirates would likely have scanning facilities of some description. He also knew there was a fair chance they were already aware of his presence, although it was unlikely that they knew just who he was.
It did not take long before his suspicions were confirmed - or so he thought. Stumbling across a number of scout-bike based slavers, he realized that the local Ewok tribes were being terrorized by the Eidola Pirates, and hostages were being sold galaxy-wide for a tidy sum. While Dante had no love for the ewoks, what the Pirates were doing made him sick nonetheless, and he fell upon them. It did not take long at all for the Scouts to fall, yet there were a few Dante had not spotted, and they sped back towards the base to raise the alarm. Aware he had no choice, Dante sped after them on one of the dead scout's bikes - he wouldn't be needing it anymore.
Engaging them in a high-speed battle throughout the forest, Dante proceeded to wipe them out one by one, and swapped bikes with his enemy repeatedly. Dante wasn't sure how he made it through those forests without hitting so much as a branch, but he knew that his reflexes felt...pushed. Tested. One might even go as far as to say they were enhanced by something. He would later come to realize that this was his Force Sensitivity in action, and he had unconsciously utilized the ability known as Force Sense. It would serve him well in later months.
