Dione Talosian
Overview
Dione is a Male Talosian in his early-30s, a former protector of his people, now a humble free-lancer and handyman on Earth. Gifted with the XE-Metagene, a particularly powerful mutation that allows the manipulation of cosmic energy, Dione grew up to become a Juggernaut possessing superior neurological and physiological advantages of the nth degree and an array of metapowers derived from it. Due to his incredible power and monsterous appearance, he is often typecast into the role of a galactic conqurer and believed to be a bringer of the end for many cultures. Dione however is not interested in subjugating the masses, destroying worlds or galaxies, in fact his desires focus on the mundane and the nuances of those significantly less powerful than himself. He sees his god-like status as a hindrance and attracts more problems than it does opportunities.
When Dione uses his powers, it is normally to solve a problem quickly or recreationally. He is not afraid to use his powers to defend himself and will often show restrain even to hostiles, his full power can be overwhelming to most unenhanced foes to the point it may become overkill. Because of his fascination with the mundane, he would abstain from using certain powers and physiological advantages in order to appreciate the nuances more, or try doing things like normal people do. Nothing makes Dione happier than an honest day's work.
Power Level
Dione is a Galactic-Level metabeing with peak superior physiology and an extensive amount of metapowers to utilise. He is fully capable of solving any problem with enough time and effort, especially if he is not impeded or interrupted by outsiders. Street-Level crimes poses absolute no threat to Dione himself, as most weapons or environmental hazards are incapable of phasing the Talosian, nevermind risks of injury. Unwise assaults of this nature become an annoyance to the Titan rather than a danger. When tackling scenarios such as this, Dione can be experimental with the way he handles groups to respect their lives as well as maintain lawful activity, carelessness could see an innocent getting hurt or see destructive property damage, or worse, attract attention from unwanted parties.
Against other Metabeings, things become more of a challenge, Dione would need to take a fight with a Metahuman seriously as they would not be as easy to subdue than a regular opponent. Though Dione will often have the advantage in the match-up, it can become unpredictable. In scenarios that require Superhuman abilities to resolve, Dione is able to function more like a superhero, using the right powers for the task at hand to save the day. Dione avoids public relations with other metabeings as it often ends in asking to do team-ups, join organisations or result in fights. He is considered part of the Meta-community but his absurdly high power-level divisively splits the group to those that think he should be constrained to avoid catastrophe or be spurred into action, good or bad.
Against other Galactic-Level threats, Dione comes into his element. His resistances to most manipulations and his high power allows him an equal fighting field with his foe and one of the few benevolent beings capable of stopping less scrupulous individuals from damaging the status-quo of the universe. Dione accepts these challenges on the assumption it is to maintain order of the universe, not for the glory. He cannot return to his nuanced mundane life if the the universe is destroyed after all.
History
- Pre-Earth
Born on Planet Viros in the Milky Way Galaxy, a rare mutation in his early life granted him immense physiological potential and metapowers derived from the internal energies his body was capable of creating and manipulating. He was raised in a supportive community that only wanted him to become a beacon of hope and savior for their kind, this led the young man to become an iconic 'superhero' often called upon to deal with threats to law and order on scales big and small. Though Dione's power grew to the point that most problems were able to resolved quickly and with style, he soon began to lament the simple life he once led before his power became the defining part of his identity.
He continued the effort until a cosmic event beyond the scope of Dione's abilities tore his planet apart, in the short space of time his planet had left, he prepares a spacecraft with as much information as he could and took off with the other survivors. Instead of following the others, Dione used this opportunity to escape the clinginess of his people and set a course to a secluded part of the galaxy.
- First Contact: Earth
Dione discovers Earth and finds it suitable for habitation not only on a natural level but also for it's thriving civilisation occupied by Humans and their metabeing population. It is a fraction of the size of his former home as well as being of lighter gravity. The immediate problem he finds with the planet is it's diminutive scale, leaving most humans perceptually a centimeter tall in comparison to his colossal frame; if he were to live among its people he would need to drastically reduce in size or risk trampling everything he came across as well as attract unwanted attention. Dione uses his power to change size to shrink down to the smallest size he can maintain even while unconscious: Ten feet tall, by human standards. A smaller size would be possible but would involuntarily scale up by a significant degree if he were to lose his concentration.

Powers / Abilities
Physiological / Innate
- Super Strength
Dione physical prowess is unmatched,with incredible motor control he can lift objects like cars and trucks effortlessly and barge through brick walls with ease. While the upper limit to his strength has not been reached, the only difficulties he encounters is having the necessary leverage and grip to move heavy objects or creatures. He can use his strength to leap incredible heights as easily as one can jump off the ground normally. He has fine enough motor skills that he rarely ever worries about using more pressure than is required, possessing the tactile sensation to know when enough pressure is applied to have a firm grip upon it.
- Enhanced Durability & Regeneration
Dione bones, muscles and skin are super dense and tough. Low-grade weapons have virtually no effect upon his frame and impervious to non-superpowered blunt and sharp weapons. Even against firearms the pain factor is minimal at best, as ballistic rounds will bounce off his skin. His bones and joints can take immense amounts of stress, both from his super strength as well as from impact forces. He is highly resistant to forms of energy including heat, cold, radiation and energy. He will feel minor attacks but feel no pain from them, he will feel pain from higher-grade attacks. Any injuries he may suffer from attacks can heal at an incredible rate, damage to the skin can heal in seconds, organs and other vitals in minutes.
Dione's high body-density often means being too heavy for most non-reinforced furnishings, unless he uses something else to lessen the burden of his frame, usually his levitation ability.
- Anatomical Superiority: No Air/Water/Food/Sleep, Immunity, Ageless
Dione's anatomy and immune system is perfected to the point where he no longer suffers from the effect of aging, physical and mental disorders or diseases. Though he can still be killed by outside forces, he will never perish by symptoms of natural causes. He does not require breathable air in order to survive and thus can exist in toxic and airless environments with minimal issues. He also does not require the need to eat, drink or sleep though doing such activities does have an impact on his energy levels and mood.
- Intelligence: Edict Memory, Multi-Tasking, Temporal-Perception
Dione has a brilliant mind capable of endless streams of thought, near-instant recollection of memories and information and the ability to accelerate his mentals processes to let him think faster to the point the world appears in slow-motion. Not only has he read and understood all of the scientific principles of designs of his home planet but he has the potential to use this knowledge in creative and original ways. He can choose whether to let the full raw power of his mind flow or shift into a lesser mindset that most normal people can relate to. Dione prefers the simpler state of mind but can tap into the higher functions of his brain at will without going full force.
- Reflexes: Super-Low Lag, Instinctual Reactions, Danger Sense
Dione has super-low latency in how he can react to incoming threats, he is able to move and adapt to dangers instinctively with a full-round reaction time of 1ms. His motorneurological state enables him to already take action to avoid, deflect or act against dangers or events as they transpire. Dione isn't always aware at that moment how he'll move but he knows if he subconciously wants to avoid danger he'll do so to the best his physical limitations will allow. His reflexes are often counter-posed by large and burly frame but it never impedes his ability to react quickly and efficiently.
- Senses: Sight, Hearing, Touch
Dione's senses are highly tuned, being able of hearing minute sounds from far away, even behind walls and structures. The more focused his attention the better range and clarity he has of the thing(s) he's trying to sense. He has perfect vision and can even telescopically adjust his sight to focus in on tiny details at the expense of his wide-field of vision. He can sense tiny vibrations in the ground and in the air from his tactile hide. His overall senses are heightened by a superhuman degree though he is able to control the intensity of such senses, lowering them for a less chaotic experience of heightening them in times of stress or need.
- Talosian Vocal Chords: Wide-spectrum Vocalisation, Voice Mimickry, Hyper Voice
As a Talosian, Dione was born with a set of 16 vocalchords, two each in different length. The Talosian language is extremely complex, often requiring control of various chords in harmony to reflect tone and inflection. When speaking simpler languages, Dione often uses most or all of his chords simultaneously, creating deep and harmonious hums in his voice that can travel deep and far. Aside from giving him a voice that sounds soothing and relaxing to listen to, he able to control his vocal chords to mimic all kinds of sounds and even imitate other voices, it does not give him the ability to instantly learn how someone speaks (impressions not included). Lastly, the sheer volume he can produce means he can emit immense soundwaves, enough to cause serious sonic damage to whatever is in front of him.
Metapowers / Talents
- Flight
Dione can use his powers to levitate and fly, regardless of how he flies, he'll always act as if he were as heavy as he is on the ground. Thus his massive frame is often immovable to all except those with the strength to move him normally. He can remain in the air for as long as he desires without growing tired and can accelerate/decelerate even faster than he can using the ground. He can reach speeds of Mach 7 and higher in low-pressure environments but refrains going this fast at low altitudes as the pressure wave created could damage the environment and even kill living beings. To Dione, the power of flight is used sparingly as he enjoys the subtle locomotion of walking and running better than flying past everything.
- Psionics: Telepathy, Telekinesis, Empathy, Visions
Dione has incredible Psionic potential, able to use his mental prowess in a way that affects his environment and those within it. Starting with his power to speak to people's minds and also hear them speak into his (when he is willing), he can listen onto people's internal dialogue without them knowing if they do not possess extrasensory perception; as an Empath he can also feel the emotions and tone of someone's mental state. He can use his Psionics to physically manipulate objects with as much force as if he were using his own limbs, he can even augment his strength further by using both in unison. His Vision ability allows him to enter a hyper-sensitive state where he is able to witness reality in a different time and/or place to his own; to see into the near future, the past or even be aware of something happening at the very moment. A vision of any length can transpire in a mere moment and augments his danger senses.
- Physical Acceleration: Super Speed / Teleportation
Dione is capable of using his powers to accelerate the speed he can move by a staggering amount, when used in unison with his temporal-perception he can move as quickly in a slowed-down world as he would in its normal state. He can control the intensity of this effect to simply give him a small boost in running speed up to typical super-speedster levels. When performs over short distances, he can move so fast it can almost appear like teleportation, and with using certain other abilities it can almost be considered as functioning as so.
- Molecular Manipulation: Increase/Decrease Density, Elasticity
Although Dione is a very heavy Talosian by default, he can alter the mass of his form as easily as he does his size. With this he can make himself heavier without changing his size, augmenting his strength and durability even further, the logical downside is of course the risk of sinking or crashing through a weak floor just by taking too harsh a step forward. Inversely he can reduce his mass signifcantly, until even a human could lift him above their heads, the upsides to this is reducing the stress on flooring as well as being able to move in aways his normal mass could not. With this control of his mass, Dione can also rearrange the bonds of his molecules to maintain cohesive yet elastic contortions, effectively being able to shape himself into forms that would be impossible for a flesh and blood creature; he can stretch and squash his body to extreme degrees to squeeze through even the tightest spaces, but without size-alteration the space left on the other side of a small passage must be large enough to contain his normal form.
- Combat Expert
Dione had to train extensively as an Atlan-Prime to combat multiple powerful foes, often without weapons. He is adept at positioning himself as well as tempering his blocks and dodges to get the best opening against a skilled opponent. While not many are strong enough to even hurt him or resist a single strike of his attacks, he takes each fight seriously and never underestimates the effect a foe's attack might have on him. He is capable of using any melee weapons with decent proficiency and even use firearms and other exotic weapons where available, but can always rely on his own abilities when nothing else is available. Dione is capable of acrobatics that make the most use of his agility and has little problem with fighting styles of different types that can realistically be performed with his frame.
- Energy Creation & Manipulation
Dione is capable of producing energy within his own body and use it as a weapon. Including the ability to project and shape energy from his hands, eyes and any other part of his body. It if often yellow in colour like sunlight and can be as soft as a glow or a torch, and as powerful as the sheer brightness and intensity of a star. He can form it into concentrated beams or as projectiles. Because of how destructive this power is, he rarely uses it in crowded places except as it's more harmless variations.
- Size-Shifting
Dione can enlarge and shrink himself and his immediate surroundings (his possessions, touched objects) rapidly for an indefinite period of time. Resized objects are psionically protected from adverse effects of differing scale but otherwise behave as if they were that size. The smallest size he has become is 1cm for a micro-circuitry project, the largest he has become is well over 1032ft (314m), to combat a large-scale threat, he has not attempted to grow nearly as large on Earth in fear of destroying the environment and inspiring fear in others.
