Personality

---

Raised without the bright lure of any sort of future set ahead of him, Dion learned early on to be a radiant star. Despite all the difficulties he's had to contend with, the youth was able to retain a persistently bright persona, one that livens everything around him in a joyful, glowing manner. Inherently a people person, Dion embraces the rush of interaction in all forms- living fast and for the moment, hopping from one set of circumstances to the next to ensure the vibrancy of life never loses its glean. Whilst also working to ensure everyone around him realizes how wonderful the lives they lead are, and that they make sure to treasure it for as long as they can.

Sincere Social Butterfly

Cultivated by his ever-changing scenery within his early to adult years being poor, Dion is a naturally quick-witted, at times amusingly sarcastic, and incredibly epigrammatic character, even despite the difficulties life continues to throw at him. Having learned a variety of vernacular and a noteworthy sensitivity toward social rhythm, in most situations Dion throws much of conventional conversational wisdom out the window- upbeat, bubbly, and hilariously loquacious to the point where some people might think him brazenly obnoxious. Despite his natural socialite nature though, he enjoys a tighter-knit group of friends than most, an ironic contrast to the outgoing attitude Dion has toward most social situations and people.

Suppressed Dispiritedness

Perhaps an unconscious aftereffect of maintaining such a bright personality in light of all that he's been through, Dion has cultivated a concerning habit of bottling up his emotions and difficulties until they boil over uncontrollably. Hiding said suffering behind a fragile farce of fun-loving naivety. Bouncing from coping mechanism to coping mechanism, much of Dion's struggles make their way to the surface one way or another- either manifesting in late nights spent sleeplessly pondering what once was and what might have been, or through sudden crashes in activity and liveliness- entire weeks spent complacent from the crippling nothingness that can grab ahold of him at times.

Dog-like Devotion

Used to having nothing as a child, Dion has learned to cherish what one has, even if fleeting. Which means his loyalty toward those he's able to call his friends is unwavering- and the lengths to what he'd do for them inconceivable to most normal individuals. Always leaving his proverbial door open, Dion is willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure all of his companions are cared for- so long as they exhibit qualities and attitudes that make them worthy of the treatment. Treat others the way you'd like to be treated after all- and the same goes for vice versa as well.

Compulsory Compassion

Unsurprisingly, Dion's exposure to the worst life has had to offer has cultivated a sense of compassion that eclipses most ordinary peoples' natural inclinations. While not one to lord it over people, of course, the quarter-mink makes it his duty to try and be charitable, believing that no matter where one is from or the circumstances that they face, they deserve some form of pleasant company. He’s seen enough suffering in life, and wishes not to add to it further.

Pioneering Poor-Boy

Pertaining to more practical matters, Dion's unconventional approach to most, if not all things is something to behold- able to think outside of the box and solve problems with unorthodox efficiency. An ability that also translates well onto the battlefield, where Dion is an incredibly crafty combatant- relying heavily on the free-form nature of his Devil Fruit power in tandem with his more basic go-to in the form of his revolver to fuel an incredibly creative, and thus unpredictable method of combat. When the situation calls for it, and all bets are off, Dion also manages to be unyieldingly resilient against tough adversity, refusing to admit defeat even in the most dire of circumstances- which only makes his creative sense of battle all the more dangerous to face off against.

Appearance

Appearance.

In spite of his radical sense of clothing stating otherwise, Dion on his own has a mostly plain looking and unassuming appearance. His jet black and spiked up hair being accompanied by piercingly blue eyes, pairing well with his peach complexion. However, what gives away his quarter nature is the (currently hidden) tail that normally furls around his waist, or lies hidden underneath his coat. In terms of build, he is much more sleekly built than most people of his height and weight- whether that be genetics or an aftereffect of his undernourished childhood, he really isn’t sure. Despite his lankier appearance, his body remains well defined and battle ready, his slimmer frame allowing for a much greater range of mobility and speed- which plays in perfectly to his approach toward combat as a whole.

Traits

Street Speed
Racial Trait
Agility

As they say, you gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline, and Dion's made it so that his sleek yet athletically inclined build helps to uphold such a philosophy. After years spent running from location and lawman alike, Dion's honed and developed an oddly inhuman amount of speed and nimbleness- his agility enabling him to keep up with even the most classically trained combatants blow for blow.

Down-And-Out Doggedness
Racial Trait
Toughness

Remaining unyielding to all that places itself in his path, Dion has garnered willpower well beyond what most regular people come to possess in their entire lifetime. Able to power through most physical punishment, Dion is able to endure whatever's thrown at him, with both feet planted and teeth tightly gritted.

Galvanistic Grit
Racial Trait
Electricity Resistance

Having gone without a home for much of his childhood, combined in tandem with his former wanderer-like nature leading him to traverse from island to island even when faced with the most stormy of days ahead of him, Dion's sustained quite a number of lightning strikes within his life. However, out of sheer force of will, Dion's simultaneously also managed to survive said brushes with death, eventually cultivating a great amount of natural electrical resistance as a result.

Nami Nami No Mi
Devil Fruit
Paramencia

After consuming the Wave-Wave Devil Fruit, Dion has gained the uncanny ability to manipulate the very matter around him in one specific yet flexible way. Upon making physical contact with inorganic substances, Dion is able to shift its state of matter, from solid to liquid- whilst also maintaining direct control over its viscosity and area of effect so long as contact remains on said surface or substance.

Fighting Styles

"Jeet Kune Do"
Focus: Martial Arts, Flow, Nami Nami No Mi
Class: E
Description:

Commonly known as "The form of no form", Jeet Kune Do is a martial art based on the principle of completely free-form combat. The basic guiding principles being: simplicity, directness, and freedom, and after absorbing a plethora of different perspectives and styles of life, Dion's malleable mind has embodied the style exceedingly well. Using both the creative freedom of his Devil Fruit and his natural athleticism, Dion mixes everything together into one uniquely varied melting pot, ensuring that his way of fighting is constantly free-flowing and easily adaptable- albeit with a mild emphasis on the countering and reattacking of an opponent's offensive approach.

"Bullet Ballet"
Focus: Fire-Arms, Martial Arts, Nami Nami No Mi
Class: E
Description:

Somewhat a sub-style of the aforementioned "Jeet Kune Do", Dion's Bullet Ballet illustrates the creatively fueled combat that comes when utilizing his gifted handgun "Aragon". Combining close-quarters hand-to-hand combat in tandem with a somewhat limited knowledge of firearms to create a rhythmic yet simultaneously explosive display of combat that limits an opponent's mobility and movement.

Name: Sazerac Singe
Fighting Style: Bullet Ballet
Rank: 1
Description:

Gripping tightly onto the leather grip handle of the Aragon, Dion takes a few seconds to focus on an opponent's specific weak point. After singling it out, Dion takes aim and fires, aiming to debilitate the movement and general mobility of the opponent to make them less able to compete on the feet with the quarter mink, rather than go for a killing blow.

Name: Boulvardier's Blizkrieg
Fighting Style: Jeet Kune Do
Rank: 1
Description:

Approaching the opponent through whimsical, wave-like footwork, Dion bobs and weaves to dodge any attacks thrown at him while closing the distance between himself and his opposition. Once within range, the youth begins to throw a furiously fast flurry of blows from multiple awkward angles and positions- hooks, straights and uppercuts all thrown in a dizzyingly frightening pace. All while using his Devil Fruit power to make the viscosity of the surface below him slippery enough to slide all around the target as he attacks, flowing from blow to blow in an unpredictable, yet constant manner.

Name: Sea Breeze Sidestep
Fighting Style: Jeet Kune Do
Rank: 1
Description:

Focusing on the flats of his feet, Dion manipulates the surface that he's standing upon to become viscous enough to slide upon, utilizing the newfound mobility to slip away from an opponent's attack and counter viciously with well placed counter shots in the form of a perfectly-timed punch or kick.

Name:"Aragon"
Fighting Style: Bullet Ballet
Rank: 2
Description:

The Aragon was originally a family heirloom of the Altamiras, gifted to Dion following the near-crumbling of the lineage itself in the hopes the young man would find some use in it. The weapon itself is a specially made pepperbox pistol- a multiple-barrel firearm in the form of a handgun that has a total of six different gun barrels in a coaxially revolving mechanism. Each barrel holds a single shot, and the shooter can manually rotate the whole barrel assembly to sequentially index each barrel into alignment with the lock or hammer, similar to the rotation of a revolver's cylinder. Thinner, longer, and more refined than most other pistols of its kind, the gun is mostly a deep grey color with brass sections focused at the base of the barrel. It also has some white stone built into it.

Qualities:

▪︎ Critical Trigger

To get the best out of a normally imprecise pepperbox, the Altamira family found that you’ve got to have a crisp, light trigger. The specially-made trigger on the Aragon enables Dion to be able to fire off either one or several rounds off with exceedingly accurate yet rapid-fire results. The speed with which the carefully cultivated trigger can function at helping to compound Dion's focus toward flow amid a combative situation. The cleaner, faster action results in less flinching and the ability to maintain better sight alignment, thus not only heightening inherent accuracy but also enabling the youth to be able to reset and be ready for the next shot faster.

▪︎ Reboundable Ammunition

In tandem with the Aragon's ability to fire off on all cylinders, the bullets that the pepperbox takes help to also fuel a continuous, yet creative approach toward attack. The ammunition in question is made specially to be more ricochet-prone than most other types of ammo, allowing for Dion to catch opponent's around tight corridors or to fake out an opponent as to what his true target actually is.
