Additional notes -- his eyes are typically dark, but carry the hazel trait of shifting in hue from time to time, reflecting the changeable tendencies of a trickster deity. In addition, he has a small but unsightly scar on his left ribcage from his encounter with the Stymphalian Bird.

Personality: For the most part, Dion is a calm and collected person, interested in understanding the whole of existence, but mostly other people. He carries himself in a very passive, laid-back fashion, but quickly drops that when excited by trickery, creative things, or the chance to argue. He will transform from a look of complacency to one of devilish mischievousness in a heartbeat.

Possibly inspired by his father, Dion feels compelled to protect the whole of humanity, which he sees as his direct siblings. Because of that, he can sometimes be conflicted about his father's decisions, the general will of the Gods, or even the isolationist tendencies of other Demi-gods. Despite loving others as direct siblings, that doesn't mean he doesn't carry out acts of sibling rivalry with the rest of his species, either. They can still annoy, frustrate, and disgust him very easily.

A spatial thinker, Dion tends to turn his surroundings into a “mind palace” of sorts when he's brainstorming, often leaving him fairly vulnerable. Because of this, he'll usually keep his hands moving on something like bowl sculpting so that part of his mind stays in reality. When he has a really good idea, he keeps the “thought bowl/vase/whatever” as a trophy of his accomplishment.

History: Dion's mother, Alexandra, was noticed by Prometheus on his way through Chania, Greece during her childhood. The daughter of a mason, she was always surrounded by bricks and raw clay. When she went to work with her dad, he'd let her play with the clay to keep her busy, and her creative shapes impressed Prometheus at a very young age.

Many years later, Alexandra moved to America in the hopes of escaping the “family station.” Here, she made a living selling her clay crafts at flea markets, where she once again met Prometheus. Presenting himself as a prosperous businessman, they began a courtship, and, when she became pregnant, he eventually used his money to set her up with her own shop. Before Dion was born, he'd mysteriously disappeared.

Dion spent most of his life like most children. Between the potent smell of his mother's shop and the low-income district in which they lived, he escaped notice from monsters and the like for many years – possibly also because the smell of a demi-Titan may differ from a demi-God? But either way, this didn't last forever.

Growing up poor left Dion with a strong sense of social justice and, by age 16, he'd become very active in politics. On his 17th birthday, he was confident enough to step out into the sunlight and take part in a rally for his favored local candidate. Here, in the open, without the shroud of his living situation to save him, he was noticed and attacked by a Stymphalian Bird. The media reported the next day that a young boy narrowly avoided being crushed by a falling gargoyle statue.

Narrowly escaping the attack by hiding in an elevator and escaping through a car garage basement to a subway, Dion raced home to tell his mother about what had happened. As she was certain most parents had to deal with, she sighed heavily and showed him an old parchment that his father had left him “in case such a thing ever happened.” The parchment contained a map of New York with a general region circled and the words, beneath, reading “Approach with caution.”

Possessions/Weapons: Dion keeps his father's map as a keepsake, to channel his oscillating love/hatred for him. He doesn't keep a physical keepsake of his mother, prefering to rely on his spatial memory to imagine her image in his presence when he feels the need.

As far as weapons, he prefers to keep it simple, preferring a Xiphos sword to a Falcatta for its double-edged properites. He prefers it this way so that, when he masters his clay abilities (Supplementary 3), he'll be able to augment the Xiphos into a spear when desired.

He also occasionally carries a buckler that he created years before in his mother's pottery shop. It doesn't hold up well to strong swings, but deflects well, and can be repaired fairly easily.
