.Backstory ::
Son of Giovanni Sparda, the Pyroar who was the chief of an powerful mafia group in Italy, and Arianna Daphnaeus Sparda, a Delphox married to the fierce lion, Dante was born in a wealthy, but dangerous place.
During Dante's mother pregnancy, the kind Delphox became sick. The situation became more and more critical as the day of the child's birth arrived. The chances of her survival or the baby's were decreasing at a great rate as the days passed by...
Finally, at the 8th month of pregnancy, the child was about to born. In an hospital room, under all the available doctors working on this difficult pregnancy, the dying mother whispered in pain to her husband.
«Save the baby...»
These were her last known words. As her lips closed for the last time and the machines emitted an sharp continuous noise, the doctors moved her stretcher to another room.
After a long painful wait, a doctor entered the waiting room, carrying a sheet of papers and bad news... They could only save one of them...
«Save the baby...»
The sorrow on the Pyroar's voice could be sensed from anyone who was inside of the same room he was, and the doctor turned away, letting an sorrowed lion behind, alone with his wife terrible last wish. If there was anything that he loved most than himself and his "business" was his wife, the sun of his life. The thing that most matter to him was taken from him. The hate and anger filled his heart the instance he heard his baby son did make it, but his wife didn't. Holding a fragile fox cub body in his arms, he gazed with furious eyes at the little Fennekin and whispered to his son.
«Murder...»
Dante was named after the 1st century Helix-ian Drowze poet, Dante Alighieri, who've wrote a play were he and his friend goes into the gates of hell, just to let him there and run away from the place. Giovanni saw his son like that. The one who guided his wife into the gates of death and left her there, escaping unharmed from the situation.
And so, Dante's childhood was from that point further a thing he struggles to forget.
A childhood filled with home schooled classes, restricted schedules, mafia recruitment classes and harsh punishments, living all his life being constantly stared with anger by his father.
Giovanni, despite the contempt he felt towards his son, knew that he was his heir, and so, the little Fennekin was exposed to violent scenes and twisted plots, while forced to hang around with his father during his "little job calls".
His acknowledge of his weapon bloodline was uncovered as soon as he father could. During an session of true pain and "resistance" to torture, the Fennekin berserk into a sword like weapon. This was one more disappointment to the mafia boss. He as a meister who used an large variety of weapons to do his dirty work. Most of those weapons were dead, since he used them as mere objects. His son being an weapon meant he was not as valuable as if he was rather a meister, like his father. Without further ado, the Pyroar prevented his son to transform into that form with any means possible, trying to avoid torture situations and filling his son with assault classes, were he was obliged to use a weapon to do his duty. The strange incident was always kept with him, not raising questions about his odd DNA.
The only thing that saved this fox from falling to depression was his friendship with an old Italian servant, who served the Daphaneus family for years and decided to stick around Dante while he was under the care of his father. The old and calm Purugly was the exact opposite of Dante's father. He was a calm, gentle and kind soul, that taught Dante how to avoid certain teachings from his violent and to stay who he truly was, gentle and kind, just like his mother.
«Keep smiling, no matter the situation you are into... And be always kind...»
The old Purugly was Dante's best friend and, day by day, the Pyroar's lessons seemed to have less and less effect on the little cub. All the violence and anger that was craved into the fox's heart during all day turned into love and joy at the evening. The cat's teachings were more influential that the lion's, and that brought an huge frustration to him. Not knowing the reason why his son was behaving like that, he started an uncovered investigation, which kept within him and his thugs. That meant that Dante's lessons were suspended, and the fox had now enough time to meet new friendships and socialize like a normal 10 year boy.
With all these free time, Dante eventually find a group of friends, kids from the neighborhood, and felled deeply in love like any other ordinary boy.
Vena was a beautiful Eevee that caught the boy's attention at the first time. They spent the majority of their time in games with their group of friends, until they discovered that they had something between them, stronger than a simple friendship.
At the age of 14, Dante finally gained the amount of courage necessary to express his feelings towards the silver fox.
«I love you...»
«Me too...»
Everything was at least doing fine.
But happiness doesn't lasts forever...
From the window of the criminal's room, Giovanni stared at the window, gazing at the young love between the two teenagers that was growing until then hidden from the Fennekin's father.
«If I could not love her anymore, neither can he love.»
He punched the table, leaving it cracked at the place of the hit.
Suddenly, two grunts entered in a rush into their bosses room with a paste full of paperwork and photos of an old Purugly accompanied by an yellow fox. The photographs were dated sequence everyday, since the day Giovanni ordered his thugs to investigate his son's life.
He grinned as he looked at the papers and the pictures.
«There it is... The proof of fire...»
One day, the old man didn't showed up at the meeting place, nor in the day next his girlfriend showed up at Dante's stairway to spend the day with him. That all seemed odd and the Fennekin's brain was filled with worries and concerns.
«Come here son. The last test before you are able to follow my footprints is here...»
The lion's profound voice echoed in the living room, were the boy was looking outside of the window. Raising up at the sound of his father's orders, the Fennekin followed the Pyroar into a stairs that drove them to a moist basement, were two persons with their face covered with a bag were strapped up in two chairs. An Luxray and an Liepard were hanging by their sides.
«What is this all about father? What's going on?!»
The Pyroar handed over a gun in the Fennekins paws.
«One dies, or both get killed. It's your choice.»
With a small gesture, the boss ordered the thugs to remove the bags from the victims, showing two familiar faces, the old Purugly, and the young Eevee. Dante's blood frozen. The shivers came from the bottom of his head until the tips of his toes.
With another gesture from the cruel lion, the other two criminals pointed their guns to the heads of the prisoners, letting a gasp escape from the two terrified pokemon mouths.
«IT'S YOUR CHOICE.»
The lion repeated with an evil smirk on his face. The look on his eyes turned darker and ghostly like, and his smile grew, making a diabolical face emerges from the Pyroar. It doesn't looked his father anymore... Not even human. Drown in fear, Dante's tears begin to wetting his face.
«I'M NOT DOING THIS.»
«10... 9... 8...»
His father didn't seemed to be joking.
«NO!»
«7... 6... 5...»
The grunts loaded their guns.
«STOP!!!»
«4... 3... 2...»
The Fennekin pointed the gun at the Purugly's head.
«I'm so sorry...»
Three shots were eared.
At the age of 16, Dante killed two people...
Dante felled on his knees as he saw his beloved ones falling, lifeless, in the ground. The shivers continued to grow, making his hole body freeze as he faced hid tears hitting the wet ground.
«HOW COULD YOU... YOU PROMISED IF I KILLED JUST ONE, YOU WOULD LET THE OTHER LIVE! WHY?!?!?!»
«Congratulations my son. You passed the test.»
The lion left the fox alone on the dark basement without saying a no more words. The bodies were carried out of the room by the two heartless grunts. The fox was alone by himself for the first time in forever...
Years passed since that incident, and the fox continued alone, waiting for his father first flaw to escape from that demoniac house. The only thing that kept him sane was the time he spent alone in his room, casting illusion with his Magic Room move, which from time to time showed his deceased friend and girlfriend, and sometimes even his mother.
After a big research on his DNA odd condition, he found all about Weapons, Meisters, Kishins and Witches. Turned out that his father was apparently a new formed kishin due to his new strange and demoniac appearance... That meant he had to get away from that place as soon as possible... His only way out was assign to an Weapon specialized academy.
He packed his thing up and waited until his father was not home. Dante changed his name to Ventus and he was no more seemed around Italy.
After a long trip, the recently evolved Braixen arrived at the famous Death City's DWMA with a smile on his face.
«Keep smiling, no matter what... And be always kind...»

.Partner :: Blake Petrov
.Weapon :: Burial Blade
The Burial Blade is a two mode weapon, it is a curved sword that can be transformed into a two-handed Scythe, using the wooden weapon arm that Ven carries around in his tail.
The blade attaches itself in the end of the arm by an huge magnetic force that can only be broken in great injury or if the user wants to (by using their soul energy to turn off the magnetic mechanism).
While the scythe attacks have a very longer range than the sword, the sword mode is more quick and accurate while battling with common enemies. However, if dueling an larger and powerful one, its advised to use the Scythe mode.
The user must have Ven's wooden "wand" if they want him to turn into his Scythe form.
