The family enjoys the Halloween celebration this fine evening. It's also the night where Strife introduced his sister to the magic that is chocolate.

🎃🎃🎃Happy Halloween Everybody! Have save, spooky, evening. 🎃🎃🎃

Howdy! Remember that one post I did of a "What if?" Where Dante used the Yamato on himself to separate his human and demon half? Well, two years later, I decided to revisit that and give his human half, D, a full redesign and ref! Second image is D with his familiar, the doppelganger, and I gave his demon half, Tony Redgrave, a full design revision too. And an additional pic of D and V being punk and goth shit twins together. Sp*rdac*st fans DNI More info on Dante's two halves and the doppelganger.

Dante used the Yamato on himself because he believed that he and Vergil (specifically V) will get along better without the grievances of the past. The idea that all of Dante's punk rock nature, along with his wild behavior, would all be put into his human half is a funny concept to me. D represents all of that and the very faded white tips are a homage to the first design. Tony Redgrave was the name me and a few friends gave the demon half, where we thought it was funny to put all of Dante's calm and cowboy aesthetic into. Tony is relatively chill and isn't much of a fighter, however, he also holds some of Dante's trauma as well. Due to them being separated, Dante's past resentment towards his demon half is fresh for D, while Tony knows that and tries to stay out of anything hectic. Eventually, the two will learn to accept each other again before they fuse back into Dante. The doppelganger is D's familiar; they can protect D by forming a force-field around any area temporarily as long as they're in the tattoo. Just like V, D can send the doppelganger out to help him fight (although, D prefers not to and can still use Ebony and Ivory). However, D can only use his familiar for a short period of time, because once the doppelganger realizes there's no enemies left, they will immediately turn against D and try to fight him. The familiar will also use psychological torment on D by shape-shifting into shadowy versions of either Dante (specifically dmc 1 and 2 versions), Nelo Angelo, and Eva. They will replicate their voices as well just to fuck with him. D doesn't send out his familiar a majority of the time, only having to do so if he has no other choice.

Thoughts on the "Who is Red X" dilemma

At the time of his introduction, Jason Todd had not been resurrected in the comics. Because of this he was mainly known as "The younger, dead Robin". This is a problem because he is clearly characterized as older than Robin, so I discount him as a possibility.

He knows how to make a Red X utility belt but can only do it after stealing one to study. For this reason he's probably not any timeline shenanigans Robin.

The Red X equipment did have a Robin hologram that talked, and since Red X's voice is a mechanical version of Robin's, he could be using those to talk.

He understood a lot about the Titans, but was visibly surprised by Starfire's laser vision, something she gained in the last season. So he has outdated Titans info.

He does imply he's a former hero, he does seem to have some sort of fondness for Robin, he also clearly feels like he has to one up him, despite being older than him.

My top candidates:

Slade's Previous Apprentice

This is my favorite choice. I imagine at some point, Robin beat him, and doesn't even really know it. Slade lost interest in him, and started turning his eyes on Robin. We know Slade likes to corrupt heroes, and it would also explain a lot of Red X's clearly mixed feelings on Robin, because he knows getting out of Slade's grasp was good. It'd have a cool "Red Hood falls in the vat" parallel, too, how Robin beat a random guy and created his own nemesis in the process. Bonus he could be the one to activate Slade's mask. If you absolutely needed to call him an existing character Grant Wilson is available and unutilized.

Kyd Wykkyd

Here's where I collect on that argument that the voice could be artificial. Kyd Wykkyd is a similarly mysterious character who teleports and seems to have based his costume on Batman. His need to imitate the Batfamily would still need explanation.

The Greaser who Stole the T-Car

Not mine but it was pretty funny while also working out oddly well. He was surprisingly crafty, finding his way not only into the T Car, but out of a forcefield bubble in the air. It would also fit very well into the fact that one of Red X's two appearances has his behavior described as a "joyride" while the other he participates in a race.

Ok, but consider this: Loki in a dress

I don’t think I ever shown him in his female side

Either Death had his mask misplaced(SOMEHOW), or had a bad time with a Pumpkin demon-thing. Either way, Pumpkin Head was all I could think of, so here ya go. X'D

Angel’s presents - CHERRI 

Oh no…Pentious’s one weakness…Ladies ankles…

I just imagine Pentious getting extremely flustered if a lady flashes her ankles at him and Cherri finding out and using this to her full advantage…
