Under The Hood
Personality:
He is very laid back, and just wants to have fun. Just like his father, he has a temper on him.
Strengths:
He is charismatic, fun-loving, and likable.

He would rather drink than fight or train. He is a bit of a slacker.
Talents
Mundane Skills:
He can pour a damn good drink, alcoholic or otherwise. As a bartender, he is a very casual therapist. Over his extensive life, he has picked up plenty of skills. He's a jack of all trades, really. He knows a little bit about everything.
Powers:
- He is able to create and manipulate grape vines, in a casual or violent setting.
- He is able to create wine, grape juice, or anything grape-based out of thin air.
- As the child of a god of ritual madness, he is able to inspire a little madness in anyone who pisses him off - causing them to see things that aren't there, or causing them to panic slightly. He uses this defensively, to avoid physical altercations. Though he may use it to mess with his friends, on occasion.

The Juicy Bits
Backstory:
Dion played a part in the war, no matter how small, a century ago. Rather than garnering the stories of a legendary warrior, he took on the mantle of tortured prisoner of war, along with many others.
Luckily, for a child of the vine, driving old memories away with drink comes naturally to the man. He's become an expert of drowning out his thoughts with alcohol, games, and other vigorous activities.
Dion has never been able to hide his identity, due to the eyes he inherited from his father. Most humans believe his purple hues to be contacts, but inhuman beasts know the truth of it.
Over the years, since the end of the war, Dion has traveled with his brother, Bruce. While they have had plenty of fun over the decades, traveling the world with drink in hand, It wasn't always like that. For several years after the war, Dion was in a deep depression, after losing his dear friend Blake to the Titans. It is unknown whether she still lives, but she is lost to him regardless. The Resistance was able to pull Dion and a few others from the pit, but Blake was never found.
These days, Dion can generally be seen with a drink in hand and a smile on his lips- whether it is forced, or not, is up for debate.
Relic:
While they have no magical traits or powerful implications, Dion holds two things to heart. He always wears a simple string strung through a bottle cap around his neck- a memento from the first drink he shared with his father. He also carries a piece of Blake with him, wherever he goes- a tattoo on his chest that she gave him during her first days on the island of Rhodes.
