Dion

 "'Mh.'" GGaD=

Status
Alive.

Appearance
Dion physically looks like a young man in his teens, probably leaning to the late part while keeping certain attributes of a preteen child. His full height at the moment is around 5’6’’ (171 centimeters). He often looks a couple centimeters shorter, though, since his posture is not perfect and instead is slightly slouched forward. While his body build isn’t exactly thin, Dion is healthily slim while noticeably lacking exercised muscle. His proportions are also not fully developed and therefore a bit odd; his shoulders are pretty slim and his head is somewhat big when compared to the rest of his body. These features hint at the fact that he may not have finished growing completely yet. There’s a silver metal strip melded to his skin on the back of his neck. Also, he’s missing the entirety of his left arm. This is replaced by a metallic prosthetic (please see the Body category for more information) which accurately imitates the arm and even has a couple more perks included. The metal plating extends all the way to the left side of his ribcage… which is also replaced or covered by the same silver metal that fuses nicely with Dion’s skin.

His skin is a rosy peach color all over with some darker freckles speckled on his cheek area and nose bridge. When he blushes, which is quite often, Dion’s face reddens exclusively around his freckled area. His blush has a light pinkish tint which makes it more obvious because of this skin color, though. In general, his face is slightly rounded yet still well marked by his chin bones. His features are not particularly interesting. He’ll generally have a bored, pensive, or annoyed look on his face. It’s very expressive too, so whatever feelings he’s having will likely show clearly through it. Dion’s lips make little creases at their outer corners when he’s doing any expression that isn’t a neutral look. When he smiles, he seems very cheerful.

It seems as if Dion’s ears are either nonexistent or perpetually hidden. There are perfectly congruent coverings on the sides of his head where the ears would normally be found. The material of which these coverings are made is exactly unknown, though they’re black and not too reflective, looking like some sort of strange headphones. They have been mentioned to work as some sort of hearing aid, but if Dion can take them off or not, that’s a mystery.

Dion’s eyes are rather large, a look helped by the fact that he often has them wide open in alertness. Well, not really, since his other common expressions (squinting or bored) don’t make them look any smaller. Their shape is more or less angular in the outer borders. Dion’s plentiful eyelashes are blond to match his hair color and line his upper eyelid mostly. The eyes can be described in general as being colored apple green. Going onto a little more detail, though, reveals shiny cyan blue specks sprinkled around on the iris, avoiding the darker green pupil. These spots give off a faint light of their own that is more visible in dark rooms. The eye itself, however, is not glow-in-the-dark. More interesting details would be the fact that even though Dion’s eyes are highly reflective of light (they look kinda glassy), this light in his eyes is seen as a light mint color instead of white. His sclera seem to be a very light shade of blue since the shadows show up in that hue.

Now, his hair is rather interesting. Its original color was strong maize yellow. The tips are dyed with permanent light green color, though, which is somewhat uneven since it wasn’t made as a dip dye. In fact, Dion’s hairstyle is what one would identify as accidentally overgrown. But despite this quality, he actually trimmed it himself in an irregular fashion to a length that reaches around the middle of his neck. The mostly straight hair isn’t frizzy in itself, yet it has a very noticeable volume and thickness that kind of makes it fluff to the sides. In general, an easier way to describe it would be as a rough bob cut of sorts. There are some bangs on his forehead, mostly brushed to the sides with the exception of a strand that cuts between Dion’s eyes to his left. He probably needs a haircut.

Clothing Style
Dion does not possess enough articles of clothing to have a variety of choice. From what he has, though, it’s visible he has a strong liking towards darker colors with some brighter accents of neons. Navy blue with bright orange lines is his favorite combination. It is very important to note that he makes efforts to not have any white included in his clothes.

He likes tighter tees for his upper clothing, especially if they have high necks. Short-sleeved dress shirts are his other choice for this area and he considers them more presentable than normal shirts. He doesn’t really have a big preference when it comes to pants. Dion doesn’t really care when it comes to that, so he might be found wearing stuff ranging from skinny jeans or leggings to the standard loose pants. Dion really likes boots that go up to his knees and that have a little bit of heel, so that’s his main choice for footwear. While he doesn’t have formal clothes, and he does not particularly enjoy those kinds of suits, he doesn’t have anything against wearing them and will do so if the situation really needs it.

A sole exception is made to the no white clothing rule. This would be a coat which was the result of a lost bet. Said coat has long sleeves and the lower border reaches to right above his knees. But not even this coat is completely white—the shoulders have black patches as decoration. Dion won’t wear it unless he’s going outside. It’s kept just as clean as his other clothes (very clean) even with its continuous use. This white coat is exclusive to GGaD.

Body
Dion's body and mind have been (slightly?) altered in the past and present due to various reasons. However, he is still very much classifiable as human.

He has what could be considered a regular human's body. As in, his systems are normal. Except for his nervous system perhaps. Dion is partially immune to physical pain to some extent. Small wounds don't hurt (which leads to his tendency to bite his tongue, lips, and cheeks) yet they still deal damage to him. He also has fast skin regeneration. This might be a reason why he doesn't have visible scars of any sort.

Dion can't gain weight for some reason either, but he can easily lose it. Normally, he'd always stay the same in body build; even if he started exercising, it would make no difference. However, this also puts a limit on his physical skills. He can't get stronger or faster once he reaches a certain limit.

Dion needs a constant food supply or else he'll get thin rapidly. However, his caloric intake must be carefully monitored. Too little and he'll be tired and grumpy. But too much and he'll probably be overflowing with unnecessary energy that overrides his logic. He's particularly susceptible to sugar in concentrated quantities, not being used to consume products such as regular sweets, candies, or treats in general. Unfortunately, he developed a liking towards them after discovering them.

Thanks to an unfortunate event (an accident?), Dion lost an arm and had some other damage done to his body. He was lucky enough to get a metallic prosthetic with a few nice perks. Said prosthetic takes the place of his left arm and starts around his shoulder area, extending all the way to parts of his ribcage. The metal in this case replaces skin, muscles, and bones; in general, any and all soft tissue that would be in the area. However, the gray metal is bare and without any skin-like coverings of the sort. There is a small screen in the forearm part. The arm is perfectly mobile and exceptionally strong which can help Dion carry heavy stuff. It might have features that have yet to be seen.

He has tetrachromatism, but what would be his natural perception of color is slightly impaired due to the accident and further enhancements.

Mind
As for his mind, it has been slightly tampered with in the past and the present. Some "stuff" increased his intelligence/intellect when he was younger, essentially magnifying his already-existing abilities and making him a genius of sorts. Dion has always appeared to have a special affinity towards tech--a very useful skill in the Cyber Sect.

It is safe to assume that some changes were made to Dion's mind after the accident. The most prominent one was the apparent fusion of an AI or computer-like program into his brain. This is quite useful at times BUT it can also be a hindrance. The program may interfere with Dion's thoughts and actions in certain situations. However, it also gives him some neat features such as (selective) photographic memory and the ability to connect easily to devices mentally.

Personality
Dion's personality is somewhat hard to describe, since his attitudes are rather inconsistent and vary depending on the situation. It has been described as whimsical and let's just say that it's probably the best way to sum everything up in one word. His way of acting is heavily dependent on his mood and therefore unstable.

Needs and update. This is also what his forum version is like.

GGaD
Dion is from the Cyber sect, from an unnamed city.

He was born to a pair of investigators: Sebastiano and Apollonia. From the moment of his birth, and probably even before, he was designated as a test subject to his parents' investigation of Modified Humans. He displayed exceptional IQ levels even as a preschooler. Because of this, he was labeled a genius child and the studies/modifications performed on him were different than those done to other subjects.

His stay at the testing facility was considerably more comfortable than other children's. Yet, despite his special status as "son of the leaders", he never enjoyed family love or anything of the sort. An interesting note is that he was never fed actual food; instead, an IV vitamin drip was used for optimal nutrition.

At first, Dion was forced to study with actual books and cram all the information just to be tested daily. Although his results were perfect most of the time, his parents (particularly Apollonia) believed he could become more of a genius than he already was. This led to his mind being altered via surgery and chemicals/drugs. Dion's parents also increased the pressure on him by doing certain things like strictly controlling his sleep schedule to unhealthy levels--such as two hours per day--by use of external agents (drugs, physical and psychological threats, etc.). Dion often sported bandages on his body and head due to the marks left on his skin by surgeries, physical harm, and IV lines.

Essentially, his first years of life can be summed up as child abuse.

At some point in his teenage years, he got imprisoned for what he claims was a framed crime. He was freed (more like broken out) by Rai and that was the start of his story in the Modern Sect.

Rai
Dion is grateful to Rai for breaking him out of the prison. He has come to accept the other's company and enjoys being around him. Even if he doesn't say it, this is probably visible through Dion's actions. He's almost sure they can be considered friends but would likely be reluctant to say it in that way. At least he is shown to care for Rai's welfare. And Dion also wants to help him with... whatever strange matter is causing problems for Rai.

He's the only person Dion has spent so much time with so far, anyways. And the first real life friend he's had in years. At first, Dion stuck to Rai because of what the other could offer him, but lately the benefits from the relationship are not the major motive for which Dion sticks willingly with Rai. Either way, even if he didn't enjoy the other's company (which isn't the case), he would still have to be stuck with Rai due to certain circumstances.

He strongly wonders how Rai ended up with so many weird friends. Dion does not include himself in the "weird friends" category, but of course he counts as one.

The A.A.
Creepy assassin person. Dion does not wish to encounter them again.

Wiley
Dion firmly believes that the other is extremely weird (if not completely insane), and wonders how the chemist even became Rai's friend in the first place. Anyways, he doesn't hate Wiley, but does not feel very comfortable around him. Really, despite everything Dion may say, there's something he finds slightly likeable about the chemist. He does not know what that is exactly and would probably not admit it anyways. In any case, Wiley probably doesn't deserve all of what Dion thinks about him, even if their relationships is... not smooth in the first place. Dion does not like Wiley's lab coat. Or all that white clothing. At least he no longer gets completely freaked out by it.

The Black Mamba
Talked about killing Dion, has knives, and stabbed Rai's leg. Well, it's obvious that Dion's got a very strong dislike for this guy. He's also scared of the Mamba because of the mask.

He does not wish to see him again.

Raez
Rai's friend, and friendly enough that Dion feels he can consider him a friend of sorts too. This doesn't keep him from thinking that Raez is still somewhat strange, though not to Wiley-level weirdness. Dion thinks that Raez seems to act a bit more mature sometimes and kind of admires him for it (not counting the times he still thinks Raez at kind of rowdy). This is another of the things Dion wouldn't easily admit, thought.

Francis
At the moment, Francis is simply a random person Dion has met. But not that random. After all, it's not very usual for Dion to stop to talk with strangers. Francis did convince Dion to approach him by offering candy, though. Dion thinks the artist is a bit strange but very very talented.

He doubts they'll meet again in the future, but really wouldn't mind posing for Francis as a model again if candy is involved.

Sebastiano
Dad.

Apollonia
Mom.

Shirley
Wonder how she is. Probably dead by now.

Celso
Friend.

Abilities and related
To be added.

Development

 * He was originally planned to be female, as Specter knew he'd be paired with Rai for the roleplay and they wanted to break the idea that people of opposite gender can't be friends without falling in love.
 * He was going to be named either Mikaela or Dionne.
 * Dionne was chosen and eventualy genderbent to be Dion.
 * The original prosthetic design was very messy because it was supposed "for the plates to slide into place as Dionne grew and it wouldn't need replacement until she was older".
 * That's still the idea ^ but the arm looks a bit more natural now instead of just overlaid metallic plates. Besides, iirc Dionne was supposed to be a few years younger than Dion is so Dion won't grow as much tbh.
 * Wonder if his arm would need replacement in the future????
 * The original also wasn't a full arm replacement so there was still muscle and skin there.
 * Now it's obviously a whole replacement lol.
 * The plates' design changed and they're supposed to look like the human arm's muscles or something like that.
 * I remembered that Dion doesn't have an ear and that's why he has those headphone thingies. They're perfectly congruent now too (I'm not sure if I put this in Dion's page, I need to check)
 * Those things also work as hearing aids Ig.
 * They were originally larger than their current design because they were also a kind of projectors. That's not really something they work for now.
 * The "screen in front of eyes" thing changed to a mental screen Ig. Now only Dion can see his own screen and while he's using it, it looks like he's staring into the void. He kinda spaces out too.
 * I see a note that says "easy to track" and I don't know if that applies to current Dion or not. I do know he doesn't have GPS though.
 * Dion is STILL banned from social networks in the Cyber Sect.
 * He is still a former social media addict but his time in prison kinda cured him or something.
 * His original height (stated in form) was 5' and I am very glad that's not his actual height atm
 * His AI still exists :) but it's not as large of an impairment as originally planned.

Trivia and stuff

 * He is of a True Neutral alignment.
 * He lacks knowledge in certain subjects, especially natural food.
 * Dion absolutely despises the color white. He's scared of it.
 * Though hopefully he's slowly gettng over this phobia?
 * Blue is his favorite color and he also likes green.
 * He's fluent in German.
 * He likes hoverboards.
 * Dion has promised himself that one day he will learn how to bake well.
 * Unfortunately, everyone he has met so far (outside of the Cyber sect) is taller than he is. Bad luck?
 * He has never had a birthday party.
 * He was featured in the GGaD wiki chat as a blushing emoji!
 * He has a trigger to the word "No" said in a certain way.

Appearance
The folllowing is what was submitted in his form for the AU.

Dion is 5’6’’ and with an average build leaning to slim. His general looks are stuck between a teen’s physique and that of a young adult. He has rather fair skin (on the darker side of fair if that makes sense), with a strong rosy tint. There are light freckles on his nose and cheeks. He blushes a lot, and his cheeks give it away quickly because they redden considerably. Pretty much any emotion, even if not that strong, will make him blush. Dion’s eyes have strong green irises, and he’ll generally have his eyes very open in an alert look. He has maize yellow hair that is dip-dyed apple green at the tips. His hairstyle is slightly overgrown, the hair cut somewhat unevenly at around neck length. He’s got some bangs on his forehead that he lets loose yet always out of his eyes. His eyebrows and eyelashes are also blond. Dion’s normal expression often looks pensive, bored, or annoyed.

Dion is missing his left arm. Instead of it, he has a simple metallic prosthetic that starts out from his shoulder and goes all the way to his hand. The metal plating is not very complex, only serving the function of looking arm-like to allow Dion to use it as if it were the real limb. Its movements are slightly limited but the hand part works with great precision.

He just wears comfortable clothing, with preferences towards darker colors. His usual outfit consists of the following: a navy blue shirt tucked into a dark cyan double belt, dark blue tight leggings, and dark gray pants that stop at the knee. There’s also a sleeveless orange vest he wears open. He wears short brown boots with some heel to appear a bit taller. The only ‘accessory’ he sports is a gray bandage around his left wrist to conceal a gap between the hand and forearm area, as he doesn’t think it looks good. And also to protect it from dust and stuff that could get in there, I guess.
