----Basic Information----
Mind behind the Character: Etherious Virgil
Name: Orion Alexander Drystan, A.K.A. the Nemean Lion
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Personality: Orion is somewhat of a more serious person. He takes things a little more literally than people normally would. He possesses a powerful heart, full of emotion and a drive to reach his goals. Orion makes his decisions based on logic, so if he is faced with a decision, he likes to think things over before making his choice. Though he chooses not to show it too often, Orion hides a savage side within him.
History: Orion was born into a family that had joined an unnamed tribe many years before. This tribe operated in secret, yet the children of the tribe always grew up to be renowned hunters and warriors. This is partially due to their strange abilities, and also partially due to the skills that are taught to them at a young age and honed throughout their life. Unknown the rest of the world, the family that had been a part of the tribe the longest was a family of witches with the goal of keeping their tribe strong and safe. In order to achieve this end, they created a spell that would grant the target inhuman strengths by empowering their soul. This is a right of passage for every child within the tribe, performed at the age of 12. Once the spell was cast on Orion, he went off on his own to develop his mark. Upon his return he found that his tribe had been attacked and no one was left in sight. Orion, instead of searching for them, decided to try and get stronger so he could face whatever caused them to leave in the first place.
Through his travels, he expanded the use of his mark, and eventually gained the ability to manipulate the spectra released from his mark in various ways. He chose to remain independent from any group, in order to refrain from being dragged into the affairs of other people. His logic behind the decision was that if he was a follower, he would be required to perform trivial tasks that would only hinder his progress. He lives within the confines of Death City, but all of the offers to join Lord Death in the crusade against evil have been turned down.

----Abilities and Techniques Information----
"Lionheart"
- During his childhood, his tribe performed a traditional spell that marks the coming of age for the children. This spell marks the child with a tribal image of their spirit animal along their back and arms, as well as alters their soul in a way that causes their wavelength to empower them should they activate their mark. When active, the mark releases their soul wavelength in the form of what appears to be a colored, transparent gas known as a spectra. The specific mark that Orion is blessed with is the mark of the lion, and his spectra is gold. Whenever Orion's mark is activated, he gains a tremendous boost in strength, with a medium boost in speed and in his five senses.
This ability is an activated ability, but it holds no maintenance cost. Small energy cost to activate.
"Roar of the King"
- Whenever Orion's mark is active, he is able to gather his soul wavelength within his lungs and release a powerful yell. The sound of this yell resembles the roar of a mighty lion, and is coupled with a large concussive wave of both sound and wavelength. This roar can travel up to fifty meters in the direction it is released, and is strong enough to push others back 10 meters and knock over large trees.
Activated ability, medium energy cost; 5 post cool down
"Royal Coat"
- Orion is able to concentrate the spectra released from his activated mark and form an overcoat over his arms, chest, legs, or other parts of his body that resemble that of a lion. This overcoat Is not completely solid; however, it does cushion some of the blow from enemy attacks, as well as strengthen Orion's physical attacks somewhat. For example, he is able to use this ability in order to give his punches more force behind them, give himself a slightly longer reach, or even use this to build up a dense exoskeleton of spectra in order to have a cushion against physical attacks. Orion can use this in order to form what resembles a lion's paw around his hand and attack with the claws.
Activated ability, energy cost varies (one limb is a small energy cost, multiple limbs is an additional cost for each limb, entire body costs 50% maximum energy); lasts for 4 posts per energy payment. To give you an idea of what this can be pictured as, think of a golden, lion shaped version of the nine-tails' chakra cloak from Naruto. Not the new gigantic one, but the one from the older series.
"Natural Leader"
- Orion has gradually become resistant to intimidation tactics or unnatural abilities that would create fear within him, due to extensive development of his mark and the abilities it grants him (King's mentality, as he refers to it). Effects that would induce a sense of fear, subordination, or other such things are nearly null against Orion. He currently has no natural sense of inferiority, so he isn't able to be easily intimidated. The "King's Mentality" also causes Orion to be looked upon as a sort of leader, or a potential leader, whenever someone asks for him to do a task or join a group.
Passive.
"Catastrophic Claw"
- Orion can concentrate his spectra at the edge of his arms or legs and swing them in a direction. This releases a powerful wave of energy that possesses blade-like qualities.
Activated ability, small energy cost.
"Second Gear: Burning Heart"
Orion is able to increase his strength, energy, speed, stamina, and all of his five senses for a period of time by forcing more of his wavelength out through the marks on his shoulders and back. Doing this causes the spectra produced to take on a more flame like appearance rather than gaseous. The flame-like spectra clings to his upper arms, shoulders, his cheeks and forehead, and the upper part of his back.
Activated ability, medium energy cost, 35 post limit, 10 post cool down.
"Conqueror of the Sun"
Whenever his mark is activated, Orion has the ability of pyrokinesis, or control of fire. This includes the ability to create, manipulate, and diminish flames, as well as manipulate the temperature in an area by creating or absorbing heat.
Activated ability, minimal activation cost, minimal maintenance cost.
"Feral Hunter"
- Along with the power imbued within Orion, the spell performed on him whenever he was a child left a trace of madness in his soul. Specifically, the madness of rage. By accessing this madness when his mark is active, Orion is able to enter a form in which he acts more as a beast than a man. This loss in logical sanity is reimbursed in the form of additional strength, speed, and greatly heightened senses. It grants him physical capabilities that place him on the same tier as a demon of standard strength. This activation of this ability causes his spectra to change in color from gold to a deep purple.
Activated ability, massive energy cost; no maintenance cost; lasts for 15 posts, 20 post cool down.
