Little Background Info
Dante is a the middle child of 5, born to his teacher mother and nurse father. Their home was pretty solidly middle class, and while both parents worked, they did so on different shifts, so there was always an adult around to keep the kids from getting into too much trouble. Not that Dante was too difficult to handle. Although not the best student, he was quiet and well mannered. So long as he had an opportunity to play outside, or even better, in the water, he was easy to manage. He adored physical activity and sports, always finding something to do, regardless of the season.
He was big, even as a child, but not gigantic, and is currently just over 6' and about 210lbs. He could have been a terrible bully, but channeled what aggression and competitiveness he had into sports. Perhaps, if he'd been from a different family, his natural talent could have been honed and refined into something of Olympic caliber, but he never found one sport that really drove him more than the others, plus, his parents weren't independently wealthy obsessives either. As such, he was a fine, if not amazing athlete, good enough to score a college scholarship, which he really needed.
Dante has never really had a 'wild' phase. He tends to be the responsible one, the designated driver, the guy you can count on to get a drunk girl home without taking advantage. He's dated, but much like sport, he's never run across one girl that he feels more than any others. Of course, it doesn't help that he finds guys attractive as well, something that isn't the most welcome in a locker room, so he has to repress and hide that part of himself. Still, winning this contest represents an opportunity to cut loose a bit. To relax and not worry so much about the consequences. Maybe he can just have a little fun for the summer. Wouldn't that be nice?
