Dion Inigo.

• Name: Dionysus Inigo
• Gender: Male
• Age: Nineteen.

Power(s): Dion has the power to shape-shift into any type of bear, or any animal closely related to the bear family. He also has the capabilities of talking with bears and bears alone. When he is not in a bear form, the only resemblance he has to any sort of bear is his body-type, a little bit of abnormal strength and a strange attraction to raw fish.

Appearance: Dion is a burly looking sort of fellow, his build being a mixture of muscle and fat. Standing around 6"02, Dion has broad shoulders and thick muscular arms - most of his fat being in the stomach region. With his weight, Dion is not overly large boy but he does have just about an inch or two of a belly. His skin is that of a only slight tanned tone, matched with golden brown eyes.

When it comes to his face, Dion is less than attractive to quite a few people. The bridge of his nose is slightly tilted permanently to the left of his face, only noticeable if you were to sit and stare while his forehead juts out a tiny bit making his bushy brows seem a lot worse than what they actually are. Whereas his facial structure is not something that would immediately appeal to someone, his appearance is the type you need to be accustomed to to be comfortable with it. His dark brown hair is cut in a short almost militaristic style, which counteracts with a small amount of red-orange stubble that comes in for him every now and then.

When it comes to clothing, Dion is preferential toward casual dress. He isn't very keen on wearing suits, or anything considered real fancy but more-so enjoys wearing loose-fitting jeans and large t-shirts that sometimes help people mistake how large he is. The colors of clothing he tends to pick are earthy or dark colors such a green, brown or black.

Personality: Dion could best be described as the reliable straight-laced type. Being seen as quite literally "a bear of man," it is easy to overestimate Dion's temperament. His anger though is the type that could be considered a blind rage, for that when circumstances happen such as one of his siblings being harmed he literally cannot remember what has happened after his rage subsides and all that is left is destruction that he has caused. Like I said before though, it is easy to overestimate his temper because he rarely is irked by situations. Dion is more-so the reserved type and in social situations he is modest, controlled and almost prude-ish in a sense.

In situations where he is around his family and in the presence of someone who needs guidance, that personality quickly changes and his puts on an air of strength and leadership. He very much fits the "protector" role, for it is a role he has clung too a majority of his life. He's not necessarily clever or quick-witted, but Dion does have a fair amount of academic intelligence and a large heart ... sometimes to big to handle.

Weaknesses: Dion is not the quick-witted, light on his feet type. In a fight he's more of a tank then the type that can easily avoid things. It is also very easy to take advantage of his rage and he is very much the bumbling around type (sometimes).

Strengths: Dion is an extremely strong person, with capabilities of putting holes in wall materials that shouldn't have holes in them. He is reliable, very honest and can have a kind demeanor on occasions.

History/Family: Dion comes from a family with two siblings - younger brother and younger sister. With only a two year difference between his brother and him, and a four year difference between his sister and him. Dion's siblings were luckier than him when he was born, mostly because although his parents were also gifted - he had come from a family of feline shape-shifters. It was considered unusual, and even to this day Dion's parents have failed to trace exactly where his bear shape-shifting powers came from. Around the time he turned the age of fourteen, Dion's father died oh heart complications - so Dion took upon himself being a role model for as an older male figure for his two younger siblings. It was only partially successful with his brother and completely successful with his sister.

As a child, Dion never had a major problem with his power excluding a few incidents of losing his human mind to his bear mind. He does not recall killing anyone, but has greatly injured his brother before which is a cause for some tension with their relationship. Dion discovered Foresta about a year before he decided to come to the school, and one of his main reasons for being here is mostly to see how the school is for his younger siblings - hoping to find a place that is suitable to teach them.
