IC Information
Name: Dean Winchester
Canon: Supernatural
Timeline: 5.10 Abandon All Hope
Canon Resource Link: One, Two, Three and Four
Personality:
Dean Winchester, where do I even begin? The man seems so simple from the outside. He likes booze, frisky women, burgers, pie, classic rock and cars, you could say he is your stereotypical male. He's an adorable smartass and pretty immature, on top of being a charming, but often cheesy womanizer. He tends to act out or is generally quirky. His mannerisms are pretty animated, including his facial expressions. He often loves to air guitar or sing to songs he enjoys, really getting into the music. His table manners are appalling, generally talking with his mouth full, mostly because his father wasn't around enough or he doesn't care. He's really just a big kid.
Dean sometimes comes off as being a little paranoid. He's not very quick to trust someone, especially if they seem shifty or unnatural. He takes a story or information with a grain of salt and is sometimes a little insensitive or blunt with questions, even if he gets weird looks. He's good at covering his tracks with lies. He'll even go so far as to test people with holy water, salt or even silver. It comes from the years of hunting and knowing monsters can take any form. He will often salt windows and doors or draw seals and take every precaution imaginable to keep he and Sam safe. Don't be surprised if he defaces your favorite rug. He's not without his flaws though and despite everything he has failed or guessed wrong. He is human after all, and he has made an ass of himself on several occasions.
For the longest time he didn't believe in God or Angels; not even Hell existed to him. He only could see the creatures he knew to be real and took everything else as legend, hearsay, or what people use to comfort themselves and sleep at night. As contradicting as that may be. (and Sam does point this out)
His ego is pretty inflated, often speaking very highly of himself, but he tends to be pretty resistant to talking about his feelings or anything he would consider 'mushy'. Sam has tried on several occasions to get him to talk and sometimes succeeds after much badgering or concern. This probably stems from the stereotype of what is 'manly' or the fact he had to grow up fast. To him you just don't talk about your feelings and he prefers to deal with things himself, often leaving them pent up to fester. He refuses to hug it out.
Dean was raised into the life of a hunter, following his fathers footsteps like a good little soldier. Everything started with the death of his mother before he turned 5 years old. Around the age of 6 or 7 he learned how to shoot and recounts this moment with his father as one of the best. When he was in 6th grade he made his first sawed-off shotgun. It wasn't until he was about 16 that he really embraced the life by helping his dad kill a monster by shooting it with a silver tipped arrow to the heart. But from then on it becomes more important to him than settling down with a family.
Most of his childhood was spent moving around from one place to the other and looking after his little brother while his dad was out on hunts. This was the backbone for his relationship with his brother Sam. He helped take care of Sam since he was little and was always looking out for him from the get-go, it was pretty much his job and he did it willingly. Despite the fact Sam began to resent their father, he always seemed closer to Dean because of the time they shared. Dean would always listen to his fathers order first and foremost.
It's clear his brother means everything to him and this is proven and over and over again throughout the seasons. He will do almost insane, suicidal things to save innocent lives, but if it means killing his brother he will fight tooth and nail for another solution. Including risking more lives to do so. Even after John warned him he would have to kill Sam if he couldn't save him, he still couldn't bring himself to go through with it. He's admitted he could never kill Sam. Sam is all that he has left and is quite clearly his weakness. He even goes so far as to make a deal with a crossroads demon for his soul to bring Sam back from death. He goes to hell for Sam even though he doesn't really want to die.
Despite everything that happens between them and their rocky ups-and-downs, it isn't until Season 4 that Dean starts to doubt Sam's strength and begins to go through serious changes. With his brother turning to Demon blood to boost his abilities, Dean is conflicted and extremely disappointed in Sam. He knows he's being lied to but keeps hoping that Sam will come to his senses and see that Ruby is leading him on. It begins to wear him down as he wants nothing more than to believe that Sam will do the right thing. It comes to a point where he gives up trying to argue with him. In the end it becomes clear to him that Sam believes he's doing the right thing, or doing what he has to do to kill Lilith and stop Lucifer from rising. Dean tries everything to get through to him, but the brothers start to drift apart. Sam believes that this is his cross to bear and Dean realizes there's nothing he can do to change his mind. To Dean it feels like betrayal, after everything he's done for his little brother, Sam still refuses to listen to reason or trust his instinct. This, in my opinion, is the chain reaction in what slowly begins to kill Dean all over again.
He finally does what he feels is necessary and tricks Sam, leading him to Bobby's where they lock him in the panic room to detox. Throughout the whole time Sam is suffering hallucinations and being thrown around the room by the demonic powers in his system. It's clear Dean is suffering with Sam and it pains him to hear his brother in anguish. He knows it's the right thing and that this is the only way he can save him. In the end it fails and Sam escapes to go after Lilith. The brothers fight, causing Dean to repeat his father. telling Sam that if he leaves he better not come back. I believe he probably regrets those words the most.
Even so, he shows up at the end to try and stop Sam, knowing damn well his brother was tricked, proving he would never abandon his brother. He does badger the guy enough about it afterwords, but it's clear he still loves him and accepts him. It's hard for him to trust Sam but nothing will change the fact he is still his brother. He wants to have faith in the other man, and it's clear he fights with himself on this issue, trying to tell himself he believes the other is strong enough. But in truth he's worried he'll fall off the wagon and go right back to the demon blood like a drug addict.
All in all through most of the series Dean is generally brash, headstrong, snarky and enthusiastic about the hunt. Not to the point of going in blind, he's still methodical and cautious, but his confidence sometimes gets him into trouble. Though no matter how bad it seems to get he keeps fighting for what he believes is right. There is really only one authority to him and that's his father. Though Bobby is a close second. He even goes so far as to rebel against Angels, his Destiny and ultimately God. He has a fire and a passion for being a Hunter despite how shitty he claims the life can be. He will always see something through to the end and see to it that they save as many lives as possible.
The hunter lifestyle does have it's major drawbacks. Because of this he never is really capable of keeping a relationship longer than a few nights. Any girlfriends he's had in the past either left him after he told them the truth, or he had to leave to protect them from himself, and the monsters that follow him. He covers up his loneliness with booze, women and greasy food. Pile this in with Sam betraying his trust and faith, or the constant failure to fight his destiny, it's no wonder he becomes hollow and desperate by Season 5.
It was Cas that kept him going and kept saving him from himself. Gaining the Angels loyalty was taken for granted on a few occasions but each time Cas set him straight. In truth, Dean had more fun with Cas then he had with his brother. And though their bond grew strong, Dean would still not be turned away from his brother. He trusts Cas with his life, there's no doubt about that and he does respect the man for what he's done for him. But family still comes first.
With the impending apocalypse and unavoidable fight with his brother Dean tries everything to steer clear of ever having to accept his role. He refuses to fight or kill Sam (even with Lucifer taking over his body), not only because it's his brother but because it will still end with millions of people dying in their wake. To him there is no clear good end to any of it.
Dean doesn't see himself as a hero--and many that they have met have said that the Winchesters are--he does do everything in his part to save the world. He protects innocent lives from the creatures people believe are myth and risks his life and freedom, continuously lying, cheating, stealing his way through keeping people safe. He's been ridiculed, arrested, falsely accused and otherwise met with any form of resistance simply because no one would believe what he's really doing for them. He's come to terms with that and it doesn't seem to bother him as much as it probably should. But he's remarked how nice it feels to be thanked or appreciated on the few times that it has happened.
All in all for as selfish and self-absorbed as he may seem at times. He really does care a lot for people he doesn't even know and he will do everything in his power to protect what he loves. Including dying to save the world. He has accepted the sacrifices and believe it's just his lot in life, what he was born to do and that it's ultimately necessary so others can have the normal lives they always wanted.
Powers & Abilities: Dean doesn't possess any magical abilities. He's 100% human.
--However, he does possesses a lot of knowledge of combat.
--He has intimate knowledge of guns, weapons and explosives.
--He's an expert shot.
--He also can pick locks and break through security.
--He's good with disguises and has a sharp, silver tongue and wit.
--He is also well versed with tactics and reading people and is a skilled con-artist.
--Though he's not very savy with technology, he can figure out the basics. But that's still more Sam's schitck.
--He's definitely a survivor and has been able to take care of himself as well as take control when necessary. --He can forge and pick-pocket as well.
--He's an awesome driver and a handy mechanic. He once rebuilt his Impala practically from scratch after it was totaled.
--He's pretty damn good at improvising and stealth.
--He's well versed in forms of torture thanks to his stint in hell.
--He knows several banishing spells, seals and other tricks for use against supernatural creatures.
--And of course, hunting, tracking, lore and ways to kill just about any supernatural being.
What items will they be bringing with them to Discedo? The clothes on his back, the keys to his impala, a flashlight, a silver flask with holy water in it, a second silver flask of whiskey, and his chromed Colt 1911 with ivory grips.
Also, if allowed, **"The Colt" (not to be confused with the standard 1911)-- A weapon that can kill just about anything but is mostly used for demons. And about 22 specially made bullets for the gun. He had this at the end of the episode I took him from.

Third-Person Sample:
Last night was hell. No. He couldn't even use that anymore because he KNEW what hell was like and in comparison... no, not even close. But it was quite possibly one of the worst nights he'd had to endure in a long time. He generally could catch some Z's even after a hard day at work but this? There was no chance in hell that he'd sleep. At least not peacefully.
He sat up all night, mostly in silence with Bobby and Sam, staring distantly into the fire and occasionally nursing some whiskey on ice. The loss of both Jo and Ellen was hard on all of them and Cas' words to them the night prior were hitting a lot harder than was comfortable. The other two men eventually went to sleep but Dean was one of the last to pass out. He'd fought long and hard trying not to sleep, he didn't want to sleep, but somehow or another it caught up to him and dragged him down.
And when he woke up he was not expecting to be lying in the middle of the street. His head still ached like no other and the world spun dizzily as he slowly picked himself up to look around. The scenery was way too familiar. Buildings falling apart, streets cracked and torn, a city way too silent and dead to be normal. It seemed abandoned.
Was this a dream?
He picked himself up, dusting himself off and turned himself around to have a look at the buildings. It wasn't anywhere he'd been before and he was half expecting to see the words "Croatoan" scrawled across the bricks behind him. He did however accidentally step on some sort of device and upon picking it up it read "use this". He scoffed at it and turned it over before brushing it off and peeling the post it off the screen. Ignoring the command he lifted his eyes to his surroundings again.
"What the hell is this?" He grumbled before raising his eyes to the sky as if that would give him answers. "ZACHARIAH YOU JUNKLESS BASTARD!!" At least, he was pretty sure that if he WASN'T dreaming it had to be his work. Who else would whisk him away in his sleep? But the question was how did he find him? What happened to Sam? Bobby? Cas?
"SHOW YOURSELF!" He lowered his voice and looked around. "What do you want this time huh? What lesson do I need to learn? My friends just DIED, we screwed up, we trusted a Demon I GET IT! And if you want me to say YES you're going to be disappointed! SO GIVE UP and send me home!!"
There was a lengthy pause as he waited for something, anything to happen or the balding angel to show up. But nothing happened. He growled with annoyance and looked to the device in his hand. "Cute. Fine." He fiddled with the buttons to turn it on, muttering to himself, "Stubborn bastard, quit screwing with me."
First-Person Sample:
[Clearing his throat.] Okay. I'm using this. Now what?
[Long pause, waiting to hear something.] This isn't funny, okay? Can we please cut the crap already? What the hell do you want?
[Another pause. He's getting real impatient, as you can tell by his annoyed sigh.] Zach, answer me you dickless freak. What am I supposed to do here?
