Dante Rocco Lorenzo (OC #1)
Full Name:
Dante Rocco Lorenzo
First Name -
Flooded with literary meaning, Dante is a masculine name of great creative potential. A contracted form of Italian Durante, Dante shares its meaning of ‘steadfast’ or ‘enduring’ from the Latin root duras.
Middle Name -
Rocco is a male name of Italian origin. It is believed to derive from the old German word, ‘hrok’, which means rest or repose. The name is also associated with a fourteenth century catholic saint, San Rocco, who tended to the ill during a plague.
Last Name -
In Italy, Lorenzo is said to mean ‘wise’, ‘strong’, and ‘victorious’. The name was derived from the Roman surname Laurentius, which meant ‘from Laurentum’.
Age:
25 - 30. His age range is subject to my writing partner's preferences but doesn’t have to be limited to these definitions.
Sex:
Dante is a cisgender male and is completely comfortable with this, never wanting to change.
Title/Occupation:
He is the leader of a Mafia organisation that originated in the Italian city of Milan. He inherited the family business from his father, who was killed when he turned twenty.
Romantic/Sexual Orientation:
Dante doesn’t mind who he gets with, as long as they can hold a conversation and handle his reckless nature and understand his anger and why he cannot always stick to things. He has some commitment issues and some trust issues, but relatively can be quite a good partner; he is incredibly protective.
Hobbies:
Dante tends to dress well at all times due to his career, and is incredibly passionate about fashion, especially tailored suits and smart-casual appearances. He has certain standards for his partners and friends - they have to dress well if they’re going out with him otherwise he’ll cancel the plans entirely.
He enjoys travelling and has been all around the world, his favourite places include his home city of Milan, Barbados, and Moscow. Although he isn’t as fond of the colder climates, he absolutely loves being in the cold as it means he can dress smarter. He collects vintage pistols and revolvers and has a whole collection in his house.
He’s active and enjoys archery as well. It helps his general accuracy with weaponry and he has a whole set-up for it. Dante is an avid reader of poetry and enjoys going to museums and galleries, especially to see work from the Masters of the Renaissance. He actively loves history, especially the history and culture of his home country.
Personality:
Dante can be quite calm natured when he is by himself, but the moment he’s put with anyone else, he can be irritable and agitated. This makes negotiations with other Mafia’s very interesting and bloody, more often than not. It also makes his dating life interesting.
Love Interest:
None, currently.
Appearance:
Dante is reasonably tall and stands at exactly six feet. He’s got quite broad shoulders and a smaller waist, he has quite a strict workout plan and is considered very attractive to those that see him. He has pitch black hair that is kept short with slight curtains, a defined facial structure, and a light beard that he keeps trimmed. Sometimes he is clean shaven though. His eyes are a warm shade of amber and are often considered his best feature; they can be incredibly expressive, even when he’s got his best poker face on. Dante has a tanned complexion, but he’s not overly dark at all, certainly not pale though. He has a few tattoos on him, mostly realism portraits of Italian statues or historical portraits.
Bio:
Dante grew up under the strictness of his parents, who considered appearances more important than the family unit. He wasn’t particularly close to his family, but he has a brother that he sees occasionally, although his sibling isn’t involved with the running of the family ‘business’. He’s learned to be quite sociopathic and doesn’t actively enjoy his emotions on display. Dante, as kind and generous as he can be, has a fiery temper and a lust for life. He enjoys living life to the extremes that he does and won’t quit them anytime soon.
In life, Dante understands his position and is aware that he needs to settle down relatively soon in the grand scheme of things, but he has a hard time finding anybody that is suitable for him. Ideally, he’d never get married or have children, and hates it when people rush too quickly into things. His mother is still alive, but resides somewhere in Florence privately with Dante’s brother and his brothers wife, while Dante takes care of the family home in Milan.
While he takes risks, he’s also an incredibly intelligent businessman and knows where to invest and where to draw the line. He’s also pretty trigger-happy, and doesn’t care about who he ends up killing in the spirit of the Mafia. Dante is definitely high maintenance but he’s protective and loyal to those that he loves and would do anything for them. The death of his father when he was younger very much had an effect on him that he still feels now; it isn’t something he can just process and move on from yet.
