Name: Dante “Chaos” Cross

Physical Appearance: Dante stands at 6'1" with an athletic yet stocky build, the result of a lifetime of running, climbing, and fighting. His dark brown hair is cropped short and messy, always tousled as if he just ran his hands through it. His skin is pale from countless nights spent out in the city, and his sharp green eyes flicker with both intelligence and unpredictability. His face carries a mischievous smile that rarely leaves, even in the most serious moments, a reflection of the chaos within. His jawline is strong, and he has a faint scar that runs from just under his left eye down to his chin—an old reminder of a previous encounter gone wrong. Dante’s schizophrenic tendencies sometimes manifest in subtle twitches or erratic shifts in expression, moving from calm to crazed in a heartbeat.

Casual Outfit: Dante’s casual outfit is a mix of practicality and style, reflecting his athletic build. He usually wears a black, fitted leather jacket that zips up and has silver zippers and patches that give it a slightly rebellious feel. Underneath, he wears a dark grey tank top that hugs his toned torso, emphasizing his muscular physique. His jeans are slightly worn, dark denim that allows him full mobility, with scuffs and tears from previous outings. He completes the look with black, high-top sneakers that are built for speed but stylish enough to pass for casual wear. Around his neck, Dante often sports a simple, thin silver chain which holds a ring and a tiny dagger that has T.D.D.U.P engraved into it. When he's not "hunting," he always has a playful, almost boyish swagger about him, his confidence as natural as breathing.

Hunting Outfit: When it's time to hunt, Dante becomes Chaos. His hunting outfit transforms him into a ghostly predator. He dons a lightweight, tactical black hoodie that zips up to his chin, its fabric made from a blend that keeps him warm and agile. Over the hoodie, he wears a custom-fitted bulletproof vest, black with dull red accents, and several hidden compartments to hold small weapons, blades, and tools for his macabre games. The vest has no markings, save for an almost invisible stitched symbol—a chaotic swirl, representing his mind.

His pants are tactical cargo pants, also black, with plenty of pockets to stash things he might need while on the hunt, like zip ties, knives, or lockpicks. The pants are tucked into black combat boots, heavy yet flexible, perfect for both stealth and a chase. The boots have reinforced soles for stomping, kicking, and grip on any terrain.

For his mask, Dante wears a sleek, all-black faceplate that is featureless except for two eye holes, behind which his green eyes gleam, reflecting the madness inside. The mask can switch between a plain expression or shift into a menacing grin with a built-in mechanism, further playing into his love for psychological games. His gloved hands often carry his favorite weapon, a hunting knife, always sharp and ready, but he also carries a bow and arrows strapped to his back, useful for picking off victims from a distance.

When Dante moves in his hunting gear, he blends into the shadows, a silent predator who taunts his prey from the darkness. His athletic frame, combined with the practical yet eerie outfit, makes him both terrifyingly efficient and impossible to predict.

His hunting outfit is built not only for speed and strength but for the mind games he loves to play. The moment he puts it on, he becomes Chaos, and his victims know there is no escape from the madness that follows.

Dante’s cover as a reporter adds another layer to his manipulation. By controlling the narrative in the newspapers, he twists the facts, subtly redirecting attention away from their crimes or even making the public sympathize with the victims or fear the wrong suspects. This position gives him direct access to valuable information and allows him to stay one step ahead of any investigations into their "hunting" activities. His dual life as a reporter by day and a killer by night makes him all the more dangerous, as he uses his platform to deceive and mislead everyone around him.
