Appearance Tall and of a medium build, his skin is tanned from the suns of many worlds. Short, messy Brown hair and Honey colored eyes. Diyon dresses in a hodgepodge of fashions from many worlds and eras from a Krosan Traveler's Cloak to Trousers of Eiganjo Silk. He has a Coalition tattoo on his left shoulder and his body is covered in scars of many different origins. Carries a Selesnyan Sigil and a Spear whose tip may have been forged of Darksteel.
Biography Born of Rath, Diyon expressed a prowess in navigating the land from a young age, particularly the Skyshroud forest. He learned in time that his unnatural knowledge of the land came from a subconscious communion with the living things around him and he was becoming more and more adept at controlling this "empathy". His tribe was sacked for slaves, and he was taken to the Stronghold. The Evincar learned of his talents, and put him under the scalpel in an attempt to make a controllable factor in using the sliver Hive as a weapon. This in time had lead to Diyon's escape, but not before traumatizing him from the exposure of a near infinite perspective of the hive mind, and the dominating presence of the Sliver Queen.
Upon his return to his Tribe, Diyon's brother, a Vec Paladin named Neilon volunteered to take him to a Kor Healer to see if their meditative practices might help Diyon deal with the mental scars. Before their arrival to the Kor Haven, the Planeshift occurred, dropping both men in the Yavimayan Forest in the midst of the Phyrexian War. At this time, Yavimaya had already gained an upperhand, and thus many of the Elves who weren't on vigil were busy rebuilding and regrouping. They both decided to join the fray alongside the Yavimayans, and joined the pursuit of Rith the Awaker, and found themselves at Urborg, where it would seem the world would end. Thousands upon thousands of Phyresxians and Dominarians of all colors battling in the shadow that had once loomed over Diyon's tribe. Somehow, the two survived Yawgmoth's Apocalypse, and although at the time neither had suspected, both now feel that was when they had ascended.
After the war, They returned to Yavimaya for a time, Diyon wanting to commune with the forest and Neilon wishing not to leave his brother's side. They didn't think anything of it that they didn't age, but after a century they decided to travel afar to see the world, starting with Otaria; a continent many Rathi refugees had gone to in search for a home. Diyon chose to commune with Krosa and Neilon visited the Southern Order. They had gotten caught up in the Nightmare War, and both men decided to try and leave the continent, seeing the problems boiling there. Shortly before Karona's death, the two of them had triggered their first Planeswalk, and found themselves on Mercadia. Bewildered, they stayed on Mercadia, leaving for short periods to test their ability to Planeswalk.
They had met a few other 'Walkers, and had heard stories of what seemed an Artificial Plane that none could enter due to some sort of psychic block. The two 'walked to visit this plane, only to discover it's block, along with all inhabitants save for thousands of artifact machines had vanished. They studied the plane, and found many records of it's history in a few locations. Satisfied, they 'walked in search of a new place to explore and found the ancient plane of Kamigawa. On Kamigawa, they tried to fit in using illusions and some acquired clothes, and listen to the peoples stories of the Kami. Diyon became fascinated with the religious practices for these spirits while Neilon wanted to explore the far reaches, but found himself the target of a great Oni of deception. This Oni played on his fears, desires, and faults, until finally gaining a grasp of his power through possession. Neilon perceived that he was fighting a great evil, when infact a great Evil was using him to cause destruction and havoc in the countryside. Diyon tried to stop Neilon, but his brother's newfound abilities to utilize death magic over powered Diyon's life magic. Diyon inturn decided to bait his brother and planeswalk, hoping to make him follow him into the Eternities where the Oni should be torn apart.
Diyon could not remember the 'Walk when he awoke, but he found himself in an Orzhov soul-containment spell. He had fallen out of the sky into an Orzhov district and was put up for auction. He was sold to, and released from bondage by a Selesnyan Evangel hoping to free slaves and bring them into the Conclave for protection. Diyon stayed until the skies darkened, and into Ravnica came Neilon, blazing with Demonic energy screaming his name.
The two fought, plowing further and further down through the layers of streets, buildings, and sewers until they hit the closest natural stone to the surface. Neilon was knocked unconscious, and Diyon panicked trying to think of a way to bring his brother and not the Oni to consciousness. It was by fate, or maybe it was the proximity to the old Rakdos sacrificial grounds, but the oni kept bound in unconsciousness when Neilon awoke. The brothers discussed the past few weeks, and with Neilon in control, when the Oni awoke, it was brought under binding. Neilon decided he'd keep the Oni as a source for knowledge on magics he was not familiar with, and the brothers Planeswalked back to Dominaria for the first time in centuries.
Their arrival was a startling one; Dominaria had suffered through the past few hundred years while the men were gone. The Rifts in time and space had left the world they once new a desolate shadow of the mana rich plane it had once been. They sought out Otaria, the last place they had been before leaving Dominaria, and found the whole continent bare and drained. Upon their arrival, a flood of energy came through the rifts, and out came an elven woman they new from long ago, from Yavimaya. Where in the normal time line she had died during the Phyrexian War, in the one she had come from, she survived, and fled to Otaria. She ascended to a Planeswalker during what she called the Reign of Fury, brought on by a mad wizard, and his fiery angel. She was going to call up a dragon bound in the land to fight off this angel and bring the end of their tyranny when a rift in time pulled her here. The Elf, named Jasmine, decided to join the two men and try and find a new plane to call home. Just before setting off on their journey however, the rift surged with energy again, and pulled the three of them in, stranding them in a future where the Multiverse was in midst of collapse.
They stood on a shattered piece of land floating in the debris that had once been Dominaria, looking out at the expanse of chaos being consumed by an even greater chaotic collapse of reality. In a sense, they were at the eye of the storm, and could look out into billions of different times, realities, and planes that could have or had been as the Multiverse collapsed in upon itself. Desperate, they looked about the widening rift in reality, and saw what looked to be the closest to the time they had just came from, and planewalked into it. This dragged them through a painful and maddening reverse view of the destruction that could have been, and they popped out of a small rift in Benalia, just before the whole rift network had been mended.
After recovering from their visit to the end of ends, Diyon, Neilon and Jasmine are just like all the other Planeswalkers who have survive the Mending; mortal, land tied for mana, and curious as to what this new Multiverse has to offer them.
Motivation: Diyon and his brother Neilon feel like refugees, even though Dominaria is in a state of recovery. They are curious of other planes, and seek to find one that they may call home until they decide to return to Dominaria, or when their extended lifespan finally expires. Diyon is often attracted to great sources of Green mana, such as the Plane of Naya, but he has a fascination with more unnatural planes like Esper because of his past with Phyrexia. He prefers to blend into a world, often participating in their spiritual practices not just for appearance but because he has a personal connection with Life-Worship beliefs. When he becomes depressed or his past haunts him, he tends to become withdrawn, and this is when he seeks out planes with sharp, ugly landscapes and dark, cold mana to feed his brooding.
Abilities: He is very much a life-mage; Granting and gaining power to living creatures. Like green mana, he's also adaptable and has experience utilizing a range of other spells, from purity and community magic to destruction and rage magic. He particularly has a knack for spells used in destroying unnatural magics and artifacts.
