{ [CANON] DEAN WINCHESTER || Supernatural || RESERVED || 3 of X }
Although he is still young, Dean dismisses the concept of a "normal" life for himself, believing he is only good at what he grew up to be: a hunter of supernatural creatures. It was when he was 16, after killing a creature and watching its corpse burn to ash, that Dean embraced the fact that monster hunting was his life; he saw and knew things that would never cross the minds of other kids his age, and he knew he would never have the same, simpleminded worries as them. That said, it doesn't mean a buried part of Dean doesn't wish he could have a normal, peaceful life, a family with kid(s), he just doesn't think it is a life meant to work for him. After growing attached to a girl he dated for weeks and getting dumped for confessing what he did for a living, Dean thought it best to remain unattached and stick to one-night stands, of which he has had plenty.
When faced with emotional situations, Dean tries to turn the other way to avoid facing it. Once emotion rises to the surface in him, he becomes an open book and he doesn't want people reading into his fears and weaknesses. Often times, he will drink to cope with ugly situations. It's difficult for him to talk about his mother, as he still has tiny, precious memories of her. He would outright grow angry if Sam asked about her as a child because missing her was painful. Rather than respond in an acceptable or expected way to emotion, Dean regularly reacts with anger as a defense mechanism for being uncomfortable. Growing distant and cocky is another way that he will respond when he is feeling guilty or hurt. An example of this is seen in how he coldly talks back to a man damned to death by hellhound for selling his soul for his wife. He is upset by this because he has figured out that John gave his life to save him, and stonily harasses the man about not considering how the one left behind would feel, knowing what was given up for them. This is now ironic, as Dean has done the same for Sam and his tune has pulled a 180 flip. As Dean tells a friend, however, he feels he was supposed to be dead and selling his soul for Sam gives meaning to his otherwise empty life.
Though he basically stepped into his father's shoes and took over responsibility for taking care of his family, he also treated Sam like an older brother should, meaning he teased and tormented Sam at every good opportunity. He plays his music purposefully too loud, tries to embarrass Sam in public, pulls childish pranks on him. A hard life hasn't removed Dean's goofy sense of humor or given him the ability to form a proper insult. When he's not required to be serious on a job or with his brother, Dean is immature in many of his words and actions. He is also knowledgeable in the area of pop culture, most specifically in television shows from the 80s like Transformers and Star Trek, and often makes references to old movies, songs, and TV programs. He is resourceful and, despite what he will argue, quite clever. He develops his own weapons and devices to help him hunt, such as the homemade EMF reader to detect ghosts, the base of which was an old Walkman.
Though Dean struggles with self-worth, it doesn't stop him from being a strong, caring individual. May heaven help any person who threatens his family or friends. He is trained to kill and he will hurt anyone who does. He is fiercely loyal once he lets someone into his life enough that he becomes attached to them, and will jump to help anyone who is in danger. He will always be there if needed, but if he feels betrayed it will take effort on the other party's part to repair the damaged relationship. Even with all the bumps in his life, he does generally express an attitude that is surprisingly upbeat. For a small semblance of happiness, Dean Winchester is a man of simple needs: pie, women, and rock and roll.
Background: Wikia and Wiki
Abilities: Dean is adept with lock picking, weapons of all types, including guns, knives, homemade explosives, and flame throwers. His alcohol tolerance is quite high. He possesses a growing knowledge of supernatural nasties and the monsters that go bump in the night, and ways to dispatch them (often including salt, iron, or exorcism). He can trick the average person into giving him information with some sweet, fabricated lies.
Fundamentally, he's good at assessing a bad situation, and real good at killing things. He's good with mechanics and fixing cars. Since a young age, he has had to patch wounds for himself and his family, which means he has a strong basic knowledge of first aid. He is resourceful, be it closing a wound with a needle and dental floss or using items in his surroundings as makeshift weapons if he is caught unarmed. Dean's most prominent skill is likely his ability to feel guilt in nearly any affair, and then soldier on with that weight on his shoulders. He's a hunter (of supernatural creatures), and, most of the time, he has himself convinced that it's the only thing he is good at.
