Dio had an abusive father. For this reason, he became a cruel and violent individual, murdering his own father.
When his father was dying, he told him to go live with George Joestar, to repay a debt he owed Dio's father for saving his life. However, Dio's personality was not taken well by George's son, Jonathan Joestar. Dio was resolute to shatter Jonathan's spirit and take his place as the favored son.
Eventually Dio's plans of taking over the Joestar fortune were discovered by Jonathan when he discovered that not only had Dio poisoned his biological father to death, he was doing the same to his adoptive father, all to take the Joestar estate for his own.
Determined not to be stopped, and understanding the potential to enjoy power over all things instead of just the Joestar estate, Dio wears and activates a Stone Mask, a magical item with unknown capablities. Donning it made Dio become a nearly unstoppable vampire.
Jonathan succeeded in killing Dio, but unfortunetly his head survived. 100 years later, he was found to have succeeded on taking Jonathan's body.
Personality:
Dio Brando's treacherous, sadistic nature is partially due to his abusive upbringing at the hands of an alcoholic father. He will do anything to get what he wants, even if it means trampling people, like he did to Jonathan Joestar when they were young, and relinquishing his humanity in favor of becoming a vampire. However, Dio is not entirely evil. He shows a good side to those who are good to him. Dio also has a passion for reading, as he is quite often found in the library.
Unless provoked or deemed an obstacle, Dio will normally not attack anything or anybody (although probably more out of regarding them as of no consequence, and so not worthy of attention, than anything akin to kindness, as he had no compunctions about killing people who were merely standing in between him and Jotaro). He will first try persuading people to work for him, then fight them, if they oppose.
Description:
Dio has a large, powerful body, standing at 6'3, with muscular arms and legs. He has wild, blonde hair, that runs down to his shoulders. He's always seen with a green headband, the most prominent feature being the green heart in the center. His belt shares the same qualities. Around his neck is a black choker, which leads to a black, sleeveless shirt, surrounded by a golden coloured jacket, which he disregards in battle. He has multiple gold rings around his wrists. His pants share the same colour of his jacket, where he has two kneeguards in the form of hearts.
(I admit I may've torn a page or two from Wikipedia, but I didn't feel like writing his biography, the description is mine, though.)
I don't mind picking the battlefield, but since I'm the challenger, you get the pick of who chooses, and who does the introductory post.
Plus, I imagine you‘re going to play him more or less like Luigi, but with that awful stare)
oh ho ho ho. His head hit Dio square in the stomach. Dio had no time to move. He flew backwards into a building.
