Dean is a man that defies anyone to pigeon hole him because there are some things he’ll tell some people about, some things he keeps to himself, and some things others just instinctively know because they lived it with him. For instance, it’s a well known fact that he loves women. It doesn’t matter if you’re young, old, overweight or slim. It doesn’t matter if you’re a waitress at the local diner or an up and coming woman on the rise. He appreciates them, honestly, for exactly what they are and if he happens to get a little bit of sex out of them or a well deserved slap, well… He rather likes that too.
Just don’t ever let the girls say he doesn't know how to satisfy them. He may just have to prove you wrong.
Dean also likes his beer and his whiskey and he gets just a little bit offended when a certain someone (that’s Bobby for you) had the gall to hand him a soda… even if he is about to get behind the wheel of his car and drive. Hey! One beer doesn't put you over the legal blood alcohol level for driving, thank-you very much. Then again, Dean does have a small problem. You don’t not have a problem when you use cheap whiskey to drown out the screams of hell and all the men and women he’s tortured down there. Whiskey's good for that. Too bad the buzz never lasts and the voices return, louder, more bitter and mocking than ever before.
That’s your season four Dean.
Dean also likes being a good son. He's always walked like dad and acted like dad and he even dressed and liked the same music as dad. He was a good son, doing what he was told and sticking with the family trade. Heck, he even followed in his dad's footsteps both as a top class mechanic (Dean was able to rebuild his 1967 Chevy Impala from the ground up) and also as a Hunter.
It's not until later seasons that we see Dean grow into his own both as a leader (a real one, and not just happened to be older and assumed he knew more) and also into being confident about his decisions, good or bad because, in a word, they were his. It certainly works a hell of a lot better then his usual crazy mad dash into danger while hoping it’d all work out in the end. After all, a little bit of improvisation never hurt anyone!
… Usually.
Anyway, it’s a shame that as Dean grows a little bit older, a little bit more bitter, that it’s then that he finally realizes Sam is just like their dad and not Dean was just deluding himself. Whether it's a compliment or not, well, Dean won't say, but it does burn knowing that the person you always looked up to, the person you always wanted to be was, well… never yours to become.
Funny how that life likes to kick you in the ass.
Dean is also an older brother. When he says something, he expects Sam to take it at face value because older brothers always know best. Some of this is because as a child, Dean wasn't a good older brother. He'd leave Sam alone for hours at a time just because he got tired of being cooped up in a hotel with nothing but salt on the windows and a shot gun by his hand.
You get tired of taking care of the baby, especially when the baby was the reason mom was burned to a crisp. Dean didn't really hold this against Sam, but his happiest memories are the times he spent as a family, both with mom and growing up. It was family that drove him. It galled him to know Sam's happiest memories were the times he 'got away' from the family and the family business.
How would you take finding out your heaven would have been Sam's hell? Of course, running away from angels and finding out God doesn't care is enough to force that issue to the side. There were always more important things to take care of. There always were.
But Dean did become the good son, looking out for Sam, and he hated seeing Sam get hurt or beat-up. Each time he did, Dean wanted to rip out the throat of whoever did it and trust me, Dean could do it. Family looked out for family. If there was any beating up to be done, it was going to be with each other. And it was. Neither Sam nor Dean are afraid to throw punches at each other although in so many cases it was because they were forced to do so by one supernatural means or another throughout the show (possession is good for that).
But for all that, for all the arguments, all the pain, all the doubt, they're family and that's what drives Dean through and through. You stick by each other until the utter, bitter end.
Abilities/Powers:
Trained in hand-to-hand combat by an ex-Marine (aka his dad) and has gained approximately 10+ years of experience in fighting off demons and the many ways in which to kill them. He’s memorized various spells and chants to aid in his work such as how to draw a demon containment circle, angel relocation blood spell, and the Latin chant for exorcising demons.
Dean is also skilled at forgery, hustling, hand-to-hand combat, emergency first aid, a decent marksman, lock picking, and charming the girls. He’s also well versed in movie and classic rock trivia. An excellent mechanic.

Sample Entry Two:
It was surreal, walking through the streets of Haven. No electricity, the creeps that bump in the night. At any moment, he fully expected the zombie army of the apocalypse to come running out of the darkness to tear him limb from limb. He’s seen it all happen before.
Lucifer and his own double had ratted him out, the fink.
But still, he waited, leaning against the crumbling edge of a building as the few stragglers that had come into the world just like him lumbered by, silent and on edge just like he was. It was enough to make a man never want to go to sleep and he didn’t really sleep.
But hey! Better out here then stuck in that hole of a room waiting for some idiot to stab him in the back. He knew how this worked. He’s done it himself. But what he really wanted to know is where was Haven and why the hell couldn’t he get out of here?
Honestly, more than the creepy Croatoan vibes floating around, Dean was starting to think this was Azazel’s game all over again but this time, it was Dean stuck in the middle of nowhere and forced to fend for his life amongst all the other crazies. And if he was, well, he’d just have to disappoint them all because he was going to play for keeps and get himself the hell out of there.
He had to. For Sam, for the sake of the world, and maybe just a tiny bit for himself.
