Background Information
History: Dante was born in Kirigakure, a village known throughout the world as a harsh environment. At a rather young age Dante had been an orphan. He survived many years on his own though he did receive some help from passerby. Through the help of a shaman whom Dante called "Old Man", he learned how to hunt, write, read, and speak. Though quite young, he took an interest in shamanism through the old man, learning about spirits and such things. After completing a trial of adulthood in which he had to hunt a bear, Dante was given the name "Takoda" meaning "friend to everyone" based on his ability to befriend a shaman who many revered as both a savior and a demon. He then went on a journey to study more about spirits, traveling from place to place. He honed his skills both in summoning spiders and Ninjutsu, becoming a witness to many things of the real world - even its harsh truths and deceptions. He landed himself in plenty of trouble in his travels as he always put himself in bad situations for protecting the disenfranchised and outcasts. He soon gained reputation for helping people as his experience in human behavior allowed him to lend words of wisdom. Eventually he came to know a man named Shady whom sensed potential in him and invited him on the request of his master into House Katsuryoku. After training for sometime, he gained Apprentice rank. He continues to train diligently hoping to one day become a true shaman.
Other Information
Specialties
After mastering Raiton, Dante is able to perform its techniques that require handseals with only one handseal. Alongside that, he could perform all Suiton techniques that required handseals, faster than a non-specialist.
Ninjutsu
Dante isn't a stranger to guerrilla tactics. His high intellect and prowess allowed him to utilize Ninjutsu to it's highest potential which could only be surpassed by someone who specializes in the area. This advantage allowed him to be well prepared and aware of his surroundings especially if they were to be used against him. Coupled with his intuitiveness, Dante can be quite intimidating opponent. Dante attributes this to his expert training by the legendary Lancer (Noni).
Bukijutsu
After mastering Kenjutsu with Castiel (Nathan) and Ninjutsu with Lancer (Noni), Dante took an interest in the variety of weaponry that could be used in battle. His intuitiveness allowed him to master various weapon styles as well as create various techniques of his own. In battle he carries various scrolls and ninja tools though his main weapon of choice being his brother's katana affectionately called "Yamato".
(Yamato) - Japan
Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Yamato is a silver katana with a long and slightly curved blade with both the grip and scabbard being predominantly black. The blade features several intricate ornaments, most notable is a relief of a dragon at the endpoint of the hilt. The scabbard is black, made of traditional lacquered wood, and features several metallic ornaments on its far end. Being one of the legendary swords of the old world, Yamato is truly impressive in its design. The durable, chakra-conductive metal is able to extend to a greater length while maintaining its strength and lightweight once per battle, lasting for three turns. With a greater length, the user is able to perform techniques with his sword at a greater distance (up to mid-range) and damage (+10 to Damage/ +1 rank) however it requires him to hold steady with both hands and use a much larger amount of chakra (+10 to chakra cost). While this limits him to only sword-related techniques, it greatly increases his swordsmanship when used correctly. The chakra-conductive metal is only responsive to its wielder's chakra, being unable to be used by others and resulting in spikes to protrude from it (similar to how samaheda does when not in the hands of its owner). The weilder must remember that while maintaining this ability, it will continue to cost him one move per turn limiting him to two moves per turn.
Note: Extension ability can only be used once per battle lasting for three turns
Note: Extension ability requires the use of both hands and costs a move

After mastering the use of spider summonings from the ultimate avatar named Korra, Dante went on to excel in its use in combat. His deep understanding of a spider's abilities and behaviours, Dante went on to create several of his own techniques eventually tapping into his own "spider sense". Coupled with his clan's passive sensory, Dante's sensory perception is doubled when activating his Spider Sensory Technique making him near-omniscient.
(Kumo Kanchi no Jutsu) - Spider Sensory Technique
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40 per turn
Damage points: N/A (-20 from Sound Release techniques)
Description: By growing special sensory hairs on the skin, the user is able to sense pressure waves in the air which are converted to electric signals. These signals are then sent to the brain and interpreted as sound. As such the user is very capable of localizing the origin of a sound by interpreting the movement of the air produced by that sound. Because of the increased perception in sound through air pressure, the user becomes highly susceptible to Sound Release techniques considering it involves sound waves that can both be heard and felt (to some degree), suffering an additional 20 damage if directed towards the user. The extra sensory perception through the air pressure as well allows the user to anticipate close combat moves clearer such as Taijutsu or Kenjutsu. This provides the user a better opportunity if his sight were to be compromised or when combating visual genjutsu as this perception is unaffected by it, helping the user determine the location or presence of things in his environment. The drawback to the hairs are that they are sensitive to extreme heat (A-Rank and above Fire techniques), burning up upon contact. They are affected by water as well allowing the user to lose the sensory perception upon being wet but can be regained once dried.
Note: Technique lasts four turns with a one turn cooldown in between use
Note: Must have signed the Spider Contract
Note: Useable twice
Rank: B-Rank

After discovering the truth of his heritage, Dante pours his utmost dedication into understanding the ways of the clan. He eventually unlocks his passive ability to sense life and perceive genki. Though he has just begun to scratch the surface, Dante shows promise and won't stop until he has learned all he can. This new-found power has given him more confidence in both his self-esteem and abilities, hoping to one day become the most powerful shaman in the world. In cold weather, Dante can be seen wearing his clan's poncho. He dawns his Golden Peasant feather in his hair, a gift as a sign of acknowledgement.
