## History

### Early Life

Dion Marcellus Lyon was born in circa 2014 to Makayla Lyon, an extremely powerful Inhuman and the director of a secret organization comprised by human-alien hybrids, known as Presidio, as well as Deuce Garcia, Makayla's ex-husband, an influential businessman who attempted to control Makayla and keep Dion away from his alien parentage. As a member of the Lyon family dynasty, he's descended from one of New York City's oldest and most prominent African-American families. His parents divorced before he was born, due to Makayla reaching her breaking point with Deuce's lies and manipulations, as well as Makayla being in love with Will Lyon, another powerful Inhuman. After he was born he was raised primarily by his mother with his father continuously trying to take him out of her custody.

As he grew up, Dion became closer to his step-father, Will, due to his caring nature as opposed to his father, whom he resented because of his continuous physical and emotional abuse and him consistently using Dion as a pawn to hurt Makayla and her family. From a young age, Dion demonstrated abilities related to energy manipulation, as stated when he had tantrums, he would affect out lights of the manor.

When he was seven, his mother and step-father had twin girls, Gabi and Gigi. Around this time, he met and befriended Scarlett Cannon, who's parents were friends with his, due to them all being a part of Presidio. As a result, he was close with her and all of her siblings. Though unlike her, he knew the truth about his Inhuman heritage and went on missions with her siblings over the next few years.

When he was ten, he and a sixteen-year-old Kamari went on a two-week mission in Rio de Janeiro, in order to find and stop illegal weapons from being transported and distributed across South America. The end of which resulted in them using their abilities to bring down an airplane. Sometime prior to the mission, he manifested his psychic communication, yet had difficulty in communicating with others at first. During the mission, Kamari helped him manage his own thoughts and learn to properly communicate telepathically.

When he was fourteen, he and Scarlett began dating, in a big way. When it came time to learn how to drive, Dion was given Will's jeep, which he drove like a madman, (something that irritated Deuce). Dion's mother, Makayla went on a highly dangerous mission and presumably killed on the mission, with her body never being found. This event mentally broke Dion and he fell into a deep depression, as a result. Afterwards, Dion broke up with Scarlett, which seriously affected their friendship as a whole, though he still remained close with her siblings.

## Physical Description

Dion is a handsome and very attractive young man, inheriting his mother's physical features, such as her hazel eyes, just like his sisters. Dion stands at 5'11".

## Personality

Dion was born a fighter, having inherited Makayla's tenacity, Deuce's determination, and Will's toughness, something both of his parents pointed out when Dion was a baby. He was a very wild and happy baby, with Will mentioning how Dion inherited his maternal family's resilience.

Dion is very confident and incredibly strong-willed, similar to his step-father in that standpoint. He has shown to be a savvy and uncompromising young man, with an unquenchable flair for power. He has shown to be highly manipulative, as he's grown up watching his biological father's tactics and being affected by the actions that he's willing to lie, as well as intimidation and torture to get what he wants. Dion has demonstrated to be a natural-born leader, even though he often doesn't want to be.

Dion has demonstrated to be a natural-born leader, even though he often doesn't want to be. He cares about doing the right things that would allow others to be protected, especially when it comes to his loved ones. Overtime, he became more interested in how people felt and became more empathetic and caring for others. He has shown to be drawn to the face of danger and is determined and confident enough to stand up for what he believes in, despite the opinions of others. So much so that he has been described as an unstoppable force of nature, that will go through anything in his path to get what he wants. Although this sometimes makes him have bad judgement and he can become reckless, impulsive and arrogant.

Due to the death of his mother, the constant physical and emotional abuse and the berating of his biological father, Dion is a deeply damaged and conflicted young man. He is a survivor, and due to him being constantly abused by his biological father, he is therefore a sucker for the underdog.

Dion has been described as a family type-of-guy. Dion is a symbolic caretaker, defined largely by his emotional ties. In contrast of Dion's estranged relationship with his biological father, Deuce, Dion still puts family first. He has shown to greatly appreciate his family heritage and wants to honor his lineage. He tries to both model himself after his grandmother, and wants to blaze his own trail and make a living legacy of his own someday. Thought he isn't overly religious, Dion relies largely on the faith that he places in people. He grew up idealizing his step-father and grandmother, because his grandmother assisted Will in raising him and his half-sisters. Selena shared with Dion the stories of their ancestors, who witnessed the rise of the "bright angels".

In the simplest form, Dion is a complex character, as he has shown to be a kind and loving individual, but also a manipulative and tenacious young man, capable of lying to people he loves. He's a conflicted man with a unique perception of not only the world, but himself; he is strong but vulnerable, intense and easy-going, impulsive and logical, making him the perfect character capable of filling a leading role.
