Description: Dean Winchester is one of the manliest pretty-boys you will ever see. He's broad, tall, and muscled, but has large green eyes, long lashes, and full lips. His hair is kept short, and his style is pretty simple in jeans and tees/unbuttoned plaid shirts. He has a tattoo on the left side of his chest to protect from possession. Years of hunting theoretically left scars, but those were healed after one of his deaths. Yes. One of them.

What Brings Them To Hell: Dean's case will be keeping them busy for some time. He's a good man who basically became a surrogate mother for his younger brother and dedicates his life to 'saving people, hunting things'. In his canon, he even makes it to Heaven. However, he's also sometimes overly violent, sleeps around, drinks a lot, and isn't too nice to angels or other religious figures. His good overpowers his bad, but there's a strong case there.

The Pitch:

To understand Dean, we must first look at a stereotypical alpha male. He loves a good bar, or even a bad bar, for a lot of different reasons. At best, alcohol is a good way to pass the time, something fun and warming. At worse, it's a crutch, a way to not think about all of the things he'd done and seen in his life. But there are other things in bars. There's the women he likely wants to hook up with, there's the darts and pool he can use to swindle people out of money. Living nearly his entire life on the road has taught him how to make a living one way or another.

If bars, booze, and babes don't impress you, maybe his tendency to violence will. With humans, he doesn't answer most arguments with violence without special circumstances - which admittedly become more commonplace later in the series - but he will fight if he has to, and Dean Winchester never backs down from a confrontation. Only Death himself, the literal guy, scares him, and everyone else can just shut up and do as he says. If you're a supernatural creature, however, violence is a pretty good guarantee. As someone who has done nothing but kill the supernatural for large portions of his life, as someone who has seen the wreckage left behind, he's developed a bias. A strong one. Benny, Cas, and the occasional good creature has slowly started to mellow him out, but a lifetime of bias doesn't go away so quickly.

Other qualities tend to showcase his masculinity. He's sarcastic, prone to insult, quick to reject feelings, loves to glutton himself, is a great mechanic, teases people for being nerds, and watches porn. Obviously this is the man to end all men. Even his classic rock collection and old car just make him cooler. What is cooler than a 1967 Impala?

Now, let's deconstruct that trope. Family is everything to Dean, even to an unhealthy and obsessive degree. As a child, the need to protect Sam was hammered into his psyche, and any chance to pull away or be anything less than the protective big brother was shot down. Over time, Dean's come to think that he has to stay with his family, that they're obligated to stay in this business and stay together. As a child, that meant letting Sammy have the last of the cereal and cooking dinner. As an adult, that means lying to a ridiculous degree and sacrificing himself at the drop of a hat. This also gave him the ability to connect with children. He understands loss, and he's always wanted to protect those more innocent than him.

Despite his hatred for hunting things, he does the job because of the people they save. Dean hates the aftermath of a supernatural attack, and even gave up his perfect life at one point after finding out how many were killed should he have not become a hunter - sure, it was a trick, but it was a hard decision anyway. No matter what he has to do, he'll keep hunting.

Good with kids, caring family man, protective hunter, loyal, all traits that counterbalance his other more "masculine" qualities, but even his tendency to seem like a dumb guy who punches first and never asks questions isn't true. Dean's intelligence don't rest in books, but in practical applications. Not only is he a talented mechanic and quite good with machines - he builds an EMT reader out of a walkman - he's also a very smart strategist. Many of the demons that fall to him do so not after being overpowered but outsmarted.

In the end, Dean is a guy who forgets proper speech, uses a lot of pop culture references, uses jokes to hide his feelings, enjoys his vices, and still manages to be a good guy.

Setting Fit: Horribly at first. Hunting supernatural things has been his life. Now, in Hell, he'll run into a lot of them so it will take time for him to adjust. Overtime, he'll mellow out and only attack the bad ones. The bars will love him, he'll hope the ladies will too, and his job focus will likely be security or construction, depending on what he can get.

Definitely not gonna do community service. He's too busy doing anything else.
