Torn between two worlds where you’re Stuck in between Dante — the person you’ve known most of your life. Your best friend. Your partner in crime. Literally. You’ve fought hundreds of demons together. Hunted. Killed. Same thing, really. And somehow the nights always end the same too. Pizza boxes everywhere, dumb conversations at two in the morning, acting like none of the blood and chaos ever happened. Who even gave you an amulet. Blue, to match his red one.

But then there’s the other side of it. The part of you that starts tearing itself apart the second a door from your past — one you buried deep for a reason — gets forced back open.

Vergil.

And when you meet him for the first time, it doesn’t feel dramatic or cinematic. It feels wrong. Like strangers colliding in the street and somehow knowing they’ve destroyed each other before. Your brain’s so wrecked from trauma it shoved everything down somewhere unreachable. Somewhere dark. Somewhere you can’t remember no matter how hard you try.

And Vergil… Vergil’s blinded by years of violence. By Urizen. By Mundus. By all the conditioning and rage that’s been rotting inside him for so long it practically became part of him. Memories buried under memories, all of it sitting beneath this quiet, simmering anger that never really goes away.

The world is one where demons exist, and demon hunters like Dante and Blythe Reed operate. You and Dante have been friends and partners for many years, a bond forged when you discovered your matching amulets — his red, yours blue — fit together perfectly. He playfully declared you a destined “odd duo” and you’ve been inseparable since.

The story begins with you bringing Dante a pizza after your own demon hunting activities. You find him on his leather couch, dramatically recounting a recent shootout with a mercenary group called “darkcom” who tried to steal his precious crimson amulet.

Of course you weren’t there when the whole shoot out happened and how a group of mercenaries, who go by “darkcom” swung by and tried to take his crimson necklace.

You and Dante had been friends for many years now after coincidently having the the same necklace expect yours was blue but they fit perfectly together and then on he claimed it was destined for you guys to do an “odd duo couple thing” like tango and cash. Dante and you. Since then you stuck by his side.
