After two tours in Afghanistan, Dante was lost, living check to check, drinking too much, pushing people away, scared of his own capacity for violence. Until the Velvet Rope's owner saw him defending a trans woman being harassed in front of the club and offered him a job.
Five years later, he's still working as a bouncer, protecting patrons and performers alike.
And tonight, it's you he defends when two men corner you right in front of him.

PTSD, survivor's guilt
Otherwise, he's a real nice guy who'll protect you

From now own, I should post every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and try to alternate between male and female characters; except when posting for special events (like Dead Dove December and 12 Naughty Days of December).
