## Biography

### Early Life

> *My father was a lawyer from Brooklyn. My mother was a queen. They were never meant to meet... but their love saved the world. They made me what I am. A son of the land, and a king of the heavens. They came from two different worlds, but life has a way of bringing people together.*

> *Lino's introduction*

Angelino Freeman was born in March 2006, in New York City to Omari Freeman, a well-known respected New York City attorney and Monet Cannon, the Queen of Mount Attilan, a realm inhabited by an divine race of powerful beings, known as the Gods.

When Lino was only three years old, their home was attacked by Attilan soldiers, who were sent to bring Monet back so that she could take her place on the royal throne and marry Archer. While she managed to fight them off, she realized that even though the longer she stayed, the more Lino would be in danger. Even though she hoped that the gods would accept him, she also knew that many other gods would see him as a threat and want to kill him. As a result, she was forced to leave Omari and Lino and secretly keep him on Earth. Before she left, she imparted Lino her staff and royal family ring, as her legacy, believing him to be the key to uniting the Gods and humans one day.

Growing up, Lino grew to hate his birthday, as his mother was never there for any of them. Lino took karate classes growing up, learning how to fight and how to torture someone psychologically. Unbeknownst to him, it was his maternal uncle Sirius who watched out for him and taught him how to fight in the way of the gods.

At a young age, Lino became best friends with Christian Garcia. The two knew each other due to Christian's parents, Javier and Estelle being Lino's godparents, and after his mother was gone, Lino found Christian's mother, Estelle as a mother figure and became very close to her.

When he was seven, Estelle was on her deathbed. Afterwards, she told Lino to always protect and take care of Christian, because he's going to need him. As the boys hug her, she tells Lino that his mother always loved him, as she goes into cardiac arrest, Lino watch Christian run away as he watched her pass away. Lino then ran after Christian and hugged Christian as he cried in Lino's arms.

Around thirteen, he and Christian snuck out of their houses. They saw a man beating another man on the corner and tried to stop them, which resulted in them ending up on the ground. Lino was very angered by this and accidentally awakened his powers, entering the man's mind and making him walk in front of a speeding truck, nearly killing him in the process. Though he didn't know how it happened, Lino knew deep down that he had something to do with it. The two ran to Christian's house and never spoke the incident again.

### Throughout the Series

In "*A Night to Remember*", Lino is first seen in his bedroom, sleeping, while his alarm goes off. While disoriented from sleep, he gets up and speeds across the room through a blue blur, in a way he doesn't notice at the time. As he stumbles into the bathroom, he hums a melody while beginning to brush his teeth.

## Physical Description

Lino is a young teenager whose spunky personality is evident in the way he presents himself. His father states he strongly resembles his mother, as shown by the pictures of his mother, matching cocoa brown-skin, shoulder-length, naturally curly black hair, and vibrant green-hazel eyes. According to he A.I. of Oracle, he is 5'11", weighs 184 pounds and has a 112 BPM. He prefers relaxed clothing, that is stylish, yet comfortable. This includes graphic t-shirts with sayings, flannels with jeans or sweatshirts that are slightly baggy around him. He wears expensive sneakers and boots for the majority of the time. He is almost always seen wearing his mother's royal family ring on his right-hand ring finger, which has a message inside saying "*What you seek is seeking you*".

## Personality

Lino is an impossibly optimistic person, even from the time he was a little boy, although not holding out hope that his mother would return. He was born a fighter, having inherited Omari's toughness and Monet's tenacity, something that was pointed out by both of his parents out when Lino was a baby. Though Lino is an optimistic young man, he is also described as an incredibly "whip-smart and semi-rebellious" young man, something he has in common with his mother, despite his initial hatred of her. In contrast, he seems to have a healthy and close relationship with his father, showing him much affection.

Despite not growing up with his mother, he shares many aspects of her such as her sarcasm, sardonic humor and her fierce tenacity. He was raised by a strong and single father and holds him in high regards, having strong morals, which allowed him to grow into a confident, capable and rather snarky teenager with a strong sense of right and wrong. Lino isn't phased by others' intimidating nature and stands up to those who are arrogant, such as Rafael Cortez, and how he stands up to him. He becomes frustrated at his situation, annoyed and angry. However, his inherently curious nature leads him to find evidence of his mother's primordial origins and ultimately, his own supernatural abilities, as well as her staff as the legacy she left behind.

Instead of being frightened of the impossible sight of his supernatural abilities, Lino demonstrated a curious, brave side of his which was a factor of his status as the leader of the Guardians. He was said to be chosen as the leader for his remarkable heart, ability to see the best in people and enthusiasm to fight for justice. He is unwaveringly loyal to his father, although he is confident enough to stand up to his father and make him understand his client's own misfortune.

## Powers, Abilities & Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Demigod Physiology**: Lino is part of a divine race of beings, known as Gods and part human, giving him incredible supernatural attributes. As a descendant of the legendary divine House Cannon, a noble line of Mount Attilan's divine gods, Lino’s powers are naturally stronger than most gods, including that of the gods in his own family.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Lino, like all Gods, possesses incredible superhuman strength, being one of the strongest beings of the Guardians, only rivaled by Kiara Tarron, a Tamaranean with similar natural extraterrestrial superhuman strength. At first, he had much difficulty using his super strength, although after pairing his own martial arts skills with the training he received from Kiara in superhuman physical attributes, he became proficient in using his strength and learning to hone it better, instead of using it on everything he touched. He can overpower beings of lesser or equivalent power with relative ease. His incredible strength allows him to inflict significant strikes. He effortlessly punched a boxing bag across the room and damaged a tile wall, bent metal bars and slams through solid walls. Lino was also able to catch a piece of debris that nearly fell on Rafael.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Lino's skin, bones and muscles are much denser and harder than that of humans and even Tamaraneans, making him incredibly durable. He's even stated that he's never suffered an injury in his life.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Lino is able to move at superhuman speeds, which is as a blue blur when in use. He was fast enough to get up from his bed, disarm a man of his gun and toss him across a room within seconds.
		- **Superhuman Reflexes**: Lino's speed has proven to extend to his reflexes, even if he isn't moving at super speed. He was able to perceive bullets as if it were in slow motion. He repeatedly used this to deflect bullets with a broomstick and block the blows of his opponents, with ease.
	+ **Mental Shield**: According to Walter, Lino's mind can't be read, as he's apparently immune to any and all forms of mental manipulation. This power comes from his subconscious desire to protect his mind above everything else, and as long as he holds on to that desire, it makes the shield more difficult to extract.
	+ **Divine Communication**: Lino has the unique and rare ability to telepathically communicate directly with the Gods, extra-dimensional divine beings.
	+ **Flight**: Lino possesses the ability to defy gravity and fly. While fighting Icicle, he leapt into the air and gravitated down once, and then hovered a few seconds just as he ended the battle and gravely injured the cryokinetic.
	+ **Longevity**: According to Marie, due to his half-God physiology, Lino's lifespan is eternal, meaning at some point he will stop aging, likely in his mid-to-late 20s and won't die of old age and due to his superhuman durability, he is unable to suffer injuries or be killed by ordinary weapons.
	+ **Divine Magic**: As the son of Monet Cannon and the grandson of Oberon Cannon, Lino has incredible control over the supernatural divine energy of the Old Gods, due to this, he is capable of manipulating magic and can cast spells based on what he has been taught by his uncle Sirius.
		- **Ergokinesis**: Lino's demonstrated the common ability among the Gods, to generate, manipulate and absorb energy and use the energy inside of him for various purposes such as destroying icicles produced by Icicle or making objects move around him, such as when Sirius confronted him in to woods. Lino is capable of releasing powerful energy bursts from both of his hands, which he has demonstrated on numerous occasions, such as in his fight against Icicle and his confrontation with Sirius. His energy is capable of destroying monuments, such as when he destroyed part of a mountain, testing his powers. Just by holding his mother's staff, Lino was able to subconsciously manipulate energy around him which caused some lights in his attic to flicker. His energy has been displayed to contain mysterious supernatural effects, such as breaking illusions, and it has also seen to reverse and remove spells, cast onto others.
			* **Energy Weaponry**: Lino is able to manipulate light as a weapon, creating ropes that can throttle people, as he choked Rafael, after he attacked him. He was able to craft a sword of light, in the shape of a large cutlass, with instruction from his father, similar to his mother's design.
			* **Bioluminescence**: Lino's body is able to glow with bright colors. This power manifested even before he was born. During an echography of Monet, the nurse was extremely surprised when Lino's eyes seemed to glow with a blue light. At first, he unintentionally emitted iridescent energy from his body, uncontrollably becoming a being a light, just like the Gods, at moments when his emotions spiked, proving that these powers are heavily linked to his emotions.
		- **Mental Manipulation**: Inherited from his grandfather, Oberon Cannon, Lino is able to enter another person's mind, allowing him to either take over someone's mind, or rather "turn the tide", allowing him to pull someone out from under another's mind control, and as he said he was able to get into someone's head years prior, making a man walk in front of his brother's car and then almost kill him.
		- **Telekinesis**: A few days after his photokinetic abilities manifested, Lino was able to levitate small objects using telekinesis. He originally levitated a Headache Medication pill, and later, his father's keys. His telekinesis advanced quite quickly as he learned how to hone his power in a matter of hours. After training his telekinesis for a full day, Lino's telekinesis had grown so advanced that when he aggressively argued with Rafael, he shook the entire room.
			* **Matter Transmutation**: Lino was able to use his telekinesis to summon debris to himself and then transmute the debris into a staff to use against Pierce.

### Abilities

* **Genius-Level Intellect/Master tactician/Leadership**: Lino is extremely intelligent, a highly recognized hallmark quality of the Cannon family, as well as having an IQ of over 180, which is high above genius level. As a child, he was able to beat his prodigious uncle in chess. Between how quickly he can learn new skills and his craving for knowledge, Lino possesses a plethora of knowledge on a wide range of topics including mathematics, chemistry, law, business, electronics, engineering, medicine, art, physics, psychology, history, mythology and foreign languages.
* **Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant/Master Martial Artist**: Lino is an extremely skilled fighter and formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, being a karate blue belt recipient from an early age and a black belt by the time he was thirteen. He was taught to fight by his maternal uncle, Sirius Cannon for many years. Lino was able to have a prolonged battle with Icicle, a person who gave Sirius a good fight. After further training, Lino displayed his impressive skills in conjunction with his marksmanship, weapons training and divine combat, enabling him to take down several Garcia Dream operatives and even have a fight with Rafael, before subduing him and winning. His fighting style is comprised of kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, Krav Maga and Jujutsu. Unbeknownst to him, most of his fighting techniques were that of Immortal Combat, the fighting style and technique of the gods, learning several ways on how to combat the gods and became quite a master at it as well.
* **Expert Marksman**: Lino is an incredibly capable marksman, learning to shoot a rifle and a pistol from his father from the age of seven.

### Weaknesses

* **Human Vulnerabilities**: Not only is Lino part-god, he is also part-human, meaning he shares the same vulnerabilities that a human may have. While he may not age after reaching adulthood, he can be affected by some of the same things a human may be susceptible too.
