Hobbies:

Abilities:
- Thievery: Even before moving to Ireland, Dillon found a more natural high in stealing things. Whether it be someones wallet from their pocket, or a brand new sports car, he has done it all over the years. Couple this skill with his talent for magic, or misdirection as he calls it, and you've got yourself quite the thief. He's just as good at taking things as he is at planting them as well, which has come in handy more than once.
- Psychology: Having a lack of most "normal" human emotions, Dillon has studied the human psyche in order to better understand people that he runs into. Everything from body language, to eye contact, to the tone of ones voice, and beyond; he's able to understand most people better than they understand themselves. This makes it easier for him to see what type of person he's dealing with, and what he needs to do to get the desired outcome from their interaction.
- Torture: Most of his youth was untainted and pretty normal, but as soon as he moved to Ireland he was quickly brought into its deadly crime world. It didn't take him long to find an affinity for torturing people, and this was amplified as he specialized in it. If the family needed some information, or simply wanted someone punished with killing them, he was the one they turned to.
- Chemistry: Though torture was something he became infamous for, Dillon has learned how to create deadly poisons, crippling toxins, and many other chemicals that help make his tortures all the more frightening. As the years passed, he branched into making drugs that were both old and new. Mixing his chemical knowledge with his aptitude for torture, he earned the nickname "The Blue-Eyed Serpent".
- Parkour: He's had to run from the law ever since he found excitement in stealing as a young teen, and his ability to escape pursuers has only increased as the severity of his crimes grew. Climbing walls, jumping from building to building, and sliding over moving cars without stopping are just a few of the techniques he uses to outrun those that are after him. He's only been caught once in his life, and that instance wasn't even his fault.
- Acting: Lacking most social skills when he was young, his older brother and mother taught him how to act in just about any situation. This wasn't an easy skill for him to master, and so most of his pre-teen years were spent as an awkward and detached youth, but he has since become fully capable of acting like a functioning member of society. He's become almost too good at acting, as his lies and truths are almost indistinguishable. Even though this is his most passive ability, it is probably the one he is proudest of.
Known Languages:
- English (25 years)
- Irish (20 years)
- Scottish (7 years)
Mental Information
Personality: Dillon is a frightening person to cross paths with. Not because he's immediately seen as a threat to the well-being of those around him, but the exact opposite. Dillon is a seemingly carefree young man - often seen as nothing more than a lovable idiot - but this is something that had been taught to him at a young age. He is charming, goofy, and relatively nice in almost all public interactions, but his true feelings and intentions are hidden beneath this uncannily clever facade.
The real Dillon has little care for anyone or anything, and finds joy out of watching people squirm as they try to survive in the chaos he creates. He isn't inherently evil, especially in his own eyes, but is instead a man without the limits of morality. Murder, blackmail, torture, drug dealing; These are all simply things that one can choose to occupy their time with, and he has basked in the chaos for nearly eight years. He is well aware that society may label him a sociopath - if they knew how he really felt about things - but cares little about said title.
That being said, he is still able to develop some semblance of feelings for those that he spends time with. Though his family are seen as a weakness, he considers them a necessary one. They have helped shape him into who he is, and he owes them for that, if nothing else. The friends and allies he's made throughout the years are more expendable, but that doesn't mean he'll go out of his way to cause them harm. Relationships, for him, have been based purely on outward appearance, as it is difficult for him to actually connect with women on an emotional level. He can act the part, but has yet to actually feel anything close to what he believes "love" is.
Mentality: Sane, as far as he's concerned.
Ideal: "Follow the path of Chaos, and you will never feel unfulfilled."
Belief: Moral Nihilist
Physical Information
Head: Seemingly a family trait, at least between him and his siblings, Dillon was born with dashing good looks. His hair is naturally reddish blonde and slightly wavy, but he has started dying it dirty blonde. He's kept it at a medium length, and often uses a small amount of product to either spike it up messily or make it look like he just woke up. His face still has a bit of youth to it, but with the trimmed beard that he usually sports it evens out. He has a dimple chin, piercing blue eyes, and a fairly masculine jawline, but besides that most of his features are soft and youthful.
Physique: Though Dillon has been blessed with good physical genes on both sides of his family, he has still worked on his physique non-stop since he was thirteen years old. This was, at first, to make up for the lack of interpersonal communications in his youth, but as he became more comfortable and confident in social situations his reasons for staying fit and muscular began to shift. He enjoyed the attention that he got for being one of the "attractive" guys in school, and so he began working even hard toward the end of high school. Moving to Ireland brought his physical training to a whole other level, as he had weekly cage fights, and he began bulking up a little more to keep up with his competition. His entire body is sculpted and firm: With large pectorals, eight pack abs, bulked shoulder and neck muscles, and medium sized muscles over the rest of his body. He holds even ground between having a fast and strong body type, so as not to limit himself.
Markings: The dangers that Dillon has endured, and escaped, over the years have left his body in less than pristine condition. Though he has almost countless scars and burn marks over most of his body, there are a few that stand out: His back has around a dozen deep slashing scars going across it in different directions, there is a crude (C) branded on his left pectoral muscle, and each of his inner forearms have a long scar running from wrist to inner elbow. Besides the more "natural" markings on his body, he also has a couple of tattoos: His right shoulder has his family crest - A serpent wrapped around a mace - with "R.I.P. Matthias R. Kyne" written right below it, and his back has a tree - his family tree - with the names of the Kyne family members located on their respective areas. (Though, this tattoo is almost impossible to fully make out now)
Attire: For the most part, Dillon keeps his wardrobe fairly simple. He has a number of different colored tight tee shirts, long sleeved shirts, and tank tops either hanging in his closet or folded in his drawers, and quite often wears some sort of jacket or trench coat over said shirts. He always wears a thin, silver chain necklace with a cross hanging from it, even though he doesn't believe in God, out of respect for his family's beliefs. He has a wide variety of pants, ranging from faded jeans, to sweat pants, and even a large selection of pajama pants which are his go-to on his "lazy days". He usually only wears some sort of leather boots on his feet, but he has running shoes for when the time is right. He keeps one full set of dress clothes for when he needs them, but even when the occasion arises he usually just shows up in regular clothes.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Underground Brawling
Years Practiced: Almost Eight Years
Description of Style: Not so much a "style" as it is pure experience in underground cage fights around Ireland. Drugs, alcohol, and blood are common place, and Dillon's had each of them either enter or exit his body throughout his many fights in the ring. Though he's never really gotten any joy from these fights, he can appreciate the skill and endurance he's gained from participating in them. His actual style of fighting has evolved over the years, going from pure punches and kicks to something more developed and versatile. He tends to fight very defensively, using his opponents attacks against them through grapples and throws, but he will stand toe to toe if the mood strikes.
History Information
History: Dillon's story began like almost everyone else's: He was conceived during one of his father's trips over to the United State, close to a year and a half after his brother Pierce was born. Though his parents only got to see each other for two or three, two week periods every year, their love was undeniable. Since Yvette stayed away from drugs or alcohol, because of the harm they did to both the mother and the child, Dillon developed in her womb without an sort of problems. That is, until about a month before she was scheduled to give birth.
She was on her way to a meeting with her agent, when a man dressed in all black threatened her life if she didn't hand over all of her money. She quickly handed her purse over, but in his panic, the man accidentally pulled the trigger of his gun. The bullet went into her bloated belly, but too high to actually hit the child. The only problem was because of the trauma it caused, Yvette went into labor almost right after being shot. A man picked her up and brought her to the hospital, where a team of doctors worked through the next three days to ensure both mother and child would live.
After the third full day, the doctors performed a C-section on Yvette because she was exhausted from the surgery, and successfully removed Dillon from her womb. The first sign that he wasn't just your average newborn was the fact that he didn't cry when he came out, or even after they spanked him to try and get him to. He was as silent as the night, and so the doctors thought that the child may have been deft or had some other major problem. After a few days of tests and observation, however, they couldn't find anything wrong with him, and he still smiled and laughed when he was in his mother's arms. His father even made a trip to see and hold him after everything was settled, and he brought them all back to their house.
Dillon may have been an adorable child, but by the time he was three or four years old, his mother had noticed that there was definitely something odd about her child. The first major sign was when he was four: She had walked into the house after going out to eat with Dillon's father, and she found him holding a knife and covered in blood. He had stabbed their dog multiple times, and was now trying to get it to play again. Pierce, who was six at the time, didn't know how to handle it, and so his mother washed Dillon up and scolded him, saying that what he did was wrong. He didn't understand how it was wrong, or why his mother was crying. All he knew was that it hurt his family, and so he wouldn't do it in front of them again.
The years went by with Dillon's little sister, Kaytlin, being born when he was a little older than five, and a couple years later Dillon began going to school. His teachers and fellow students quickly saw that he wasn't exactly a normal child, as he rarely smiled or laughed or even cried when he was hurt. His mother simply explained that he was a very reserved and shy child, as she and Pierce worked with Dillon when he wasn't in school. They taught him the correct responses to questions and to what happens to people, and even gave him books to study and learn how to interact with his fellow man. Luckily for them, Dillon was a brilliant child, and he quickly began adapting himself into what society considered "normal and acceptable".
By the time he hit thirteen, and was starting his first year of junior high, Dillon had finally become socially accepted by his fellow students. Hell, he was more than accepted: he had made his way up the social ladder and was one of the "cool kids" now, and he didn't plan on losing his position near the top any time soon. He liked the attention, the admiration, and the desire that girls had to be with him. It was all fairly new, but he embraced it without a problem. Since he was doing so well with those around him, Pierce decided to move out to Ireland to help his father with the "family business", leaving Dillon, his mother, and his little sister in New York. They missed his presence, but he still visited every time Matthias did, so it's not like he disappeared.
Dillon's inner desire for thrill re-emerged when he was thirteen, and so he started to pick people's pockets just for the rush it gave him when he got away with it. Stealing was even more of a thrill when someone knew he did it, just because of the adrenaline that coursed through his veins as he ran away from his pursuers. Stealing was the beginning, but it still wasn't enough for him. He soon found that drugs were something that he almost couldn't live without. Marijuana was the starter, but the smell always gave him away when he was in school, so he got into heroine instead. He stayed away from injecting it, instead just rubbing it on his gums and tongue. He knew that his mother knew what he was doing, but so long as he stayed out of trouble she never brought it up to him.
Most of his junior and senior high years went by like this, but he also had a large number of relationships with girls as well. None of them lasted more than three months, and even though some of them had said and acted like they loved him, he could never bring himself to truthfully say it back to them. He lied, and said he did, but the change in the relationship dynamic was always strange to him, and so he would end it just to find a new girl to try all over again with. It was a very repetitive cycle, but something that he did to remain as normal as possible. He wanted to know what "love" was truly like, but could never experience it himself. It was frustrating, but there was nothing that he could do besides more trial and error until he succeeded.
After finishing his senior year of high school, Dillon had made the decision to move out to Ireland to be with his father, brother, and the rest of the Kyne family. He knew it was be a major change, but he needed it. Things had become stale where he was, and so a change of scenery was easily accepted. However, about a week or so before he was scheduled to fly over to Ireland, he and his family received word that his father had been murdered. His mother and sister cried for what seemed like days, and they all flew over to Ireland for his funeral. There were only two dry eyes throughout the entire church: Dillon's own eyes, and his grandfather Roderick's. The two of them had a long chat after the funeral finished which led to Dillon saying goodbye, for now, to his mother and sister. He was staying in Ireland to get revenge for his father's death, and to join the Irish Kings.
Though Roderick saw potential in Dillon, after a quick spar between grandfather and grandson, it was apparent that Dillon wasn't ready for actual combat. So, his grandfather made Dillon take part in the weekly underground cage fights that were held all throughout Ireland, in order to train himself up as a fighter. In the beginning, Dillon lost almost every fight that he entered into since he was far less experienced than most of the other fighters, but he was fast learner and very adaptable. When it got to the point that he was booed and had things thrown at him for losing so much, he started to dominate almost every opponent he entered the cage against. It only took him around six months to gain the skills needed to hold his own against people in a fight, and so his grandfather brought him in for the next stage in his initiation.
They had recently figured out who was responsible for the death of his father - a rival Scottish gang family called the Murdochs - and plans had been set in motion for the Irish Kings to get revenge. Even though Pierce wanted to get back at those that killed his father, he didn't have the stomach to go through with the plan that his grandfather had put together, so Dillon was brought along in his place. The plan was to rush the Murdoch estate during a family gathering, kill most of them, and capture one or two to get any useful information that they had. It was Dillon's first real mission, but he was as calm as could be. He knew what he had to do, and was focused on the picture of all those responsible surrounded in puddles of their own blood.
When the Irish Kings arrived at the front of the Murdoch estate, those that were chosen for the mission busted through the front doors and windows and began killing everyone inside one by one. No guns, only knives: This was beyond personal for them, and they wanted to see the life fade from those involved with the Murdoch family. Dillon took a number of lives that day, but he proved just how ruthless he was that day when he murdered all of the children that were hiding in a closet on the upper floor. A woman was guarding them, pleading for him to spare the children and take her life. Her stabbed her once, threw her on the floor, and then made her watch as he slit each and every one of their throats before slitting her own. He wasn't tasked with bringing back captives, so no one would escape his blade.
After all was said and done, Dillon's grandfather and Aedan Dalaigh had captured a man each, and the Kings lit the estate on fire. Dillon had yet to leave the building, slowly walking through the halls in a sort of trance. He was covered in blood and wounds from those that actually fought back, and the flames that he passed on his way out caused some minor burns to his arms and legs. When he finally exited the front doors, his grandfather put the flames on his clothes out, and escorted him to the getaway vehicle. That was the first night that Dillon had taken the life of a human being, and he still felt nothing. Even after all of the years of help and teaching his brother and mother gave him, he still didn't feel like taking a life was wrong. All he knew was that he felt satisfied that they were dead: Burning like fleshy marshmallows in the massive fire that was their home. He slept well that night.
With his father's life avenged, Dillon continued to work on making himself a useful member of the Irish Kings. He started learned how to manipulate chemicals, toxins, and poisons to use against those that the family captured, and was chosen to start using them on the two that they took from the Murdoch estate. He made one man lose his mind on an extremely enhanced version of LSD, while the other one he gave small doses of a homemade toxin that increased the feeling of pain in the victim. He tortured each of them for almost a month - getting everything that he needed within the first few days - before ending both of their lives with a slow-working poison. His grandfather realized that he had an affinity for torture, with his lack of morals and restraint, and so Dillon was made the Irish Kings "Head of Intelligence" by the time he was only twenty years old.
While Dillon continued to live in the shadows, gathering information and causing many people untold amounts of pain, his brother Pierce was quickly gaining the respect and admiration of the Kings' members. Though they came from the same parents, the two of them couldn't have been any different, but this seemed to be a family trait. Their father and their uncle, Liam Kyne, were also polar opposites, but at least Dillon was proving to have more useful versatility than his uncle. Liam was a bruiser, and nothing more. Dillon had gained notoriety and respect among the Kings, along with probably a bit of fear, so if anything he was more like his grandfather. Pierce was always meant to take up leadership, while Dillon was born to help his brother from the shadows. The combination of their gifts would become clear in the future, but for now they still had to show they were worthy of being the heirs of Kings.
Five years flew by like they were months in Dillon's eyes, and over the years he had gained a nickname that spread throughout Ireland like wildfire: An Nathair Gorm-Eyed, which meant "The Blue-Eyed Serpent". The nickname was more of a rumor, as people had heard the the Irish Kings had a man in their ranks that was a master torturer, though no one knew his name or what he looked like, besides hearsay that was fairly vague. The world had gone to hell over the last year or so, after a worldwide bombing caused severe damage on a global scale. Even so, Dillon continued to live pretty much the same. He received a mission from his grandfather in the mail that told him to capture a member of one of the smaller Irish factions, the Clovers, and bring him in for questioning. Dillon thought that the letter was worded strangely, but went through the mission none-the-less. He went to where the man was supposed to be easily taken down, but instead of him springing the surprise, Dillon's head was bagged and he was knocked out. It was a trap, but he was too late to do anything about it.
When he came to, he was handcuffed and tied to a metal chair that was screwed into the floor beneath him. There were a couple of men laughing as he looked around before one of them poked him a couple of times with a cattle prod. They were obviously members of the Clovers, and they had a score to settle with Dillon since he had tortured and killed a number of them over the years. Did they know he was the blue-eyed serpent? No, but they knew that he was a Kyne, and that meant that he at least had information on the Irish Kings, and they weren't gonna stop until they got said info. The first day he was electrocuted before every question, but refused to answer any of them before he finally passed out. He had been trained, and even trained himself, for moments like this. They wouldn't break him easily, if at all.
When he woke up a day or two later, he was hanging from the ceiling by his hands, his toes barely able to touch the ground as he swayed back and forth slightly. The men continued to ask him about the blue-eyed serpent, and any weaknesses that his grandfather or the Kings had that they could exploit. Dillon simply acted like what they were doing to him didn't even hurt, and so they began whipping his back with a bladed whip every time he didn't give them an answer. The pain was immeasurable, but he held in his screams and kept his cocky grin, even as they punched the front of his body and burnt his limbs with soldering irons. After he passed out the second time, they quickly realized that they probably weren't going to get any information out of him, but it was too late.
The Irish Kings had found where the Clovers were holding Dillon, and they were currently making their way to him. With this news, they rubbed salt on Dillon's wound to wake him up so that they could kill him while was awake. They cut him down and freed his hands before taking a soldering iron and writing a C on the flesh of his left pectoral. He was too weak to fight back, but he could still move slightly. After a couple of the men grabbed his hands and cut all the way up his forearm, Dillon used the last of his strength to flail his arms a bit and get his blood on everyone in the room. They left him to die in that room, and as he started losing consciousness he actually accepted the end of his life. He didn't see a future for himself anymore.
When he woke up in a large bed inside of his grandfather's estate, he believed that he was dead. He had lost so much blood, and was drugged up beyond belief, but the moment his grandfather walked into the room he knew he was still among the living. Roderick told him that they had wiped out the Clovers, but most of them had already died by the time they got there. It seemed that the had come into contact with an unknown, deadly poison, and that poison was directly related to Dillon's blood. A few of the family doctors had even died trying to save his life. Dillon didn't know how to react to the news, other than to ask if he was going to die as well. According to the doctors that survived, his blood was no longer poisonous as of a day ago, so they didn't know how to explain it.
He was told to get some rest and recover, but before he could do so, his brother's fiancee, Brianna Dalaigh, came rushing in with their newly born child. She handed Liara to her great-grandfather, and then proceeded to slap Dillon as hard as she could across the face, tears falling down her face as she collapsed onto his wounded torso. She let Dillon know that Pierce had been arrested because he was caught during the mission to rescue him. She screamed how it was all his fault that Pierce was in jail while she pounded her fists on his chests, and all he could do was grab her by the wrists, look her in the eyes, and say he was sorry. It may have only been a word to him, but there was a tiny amount of guilt in his heart for leaving his niece and future sister-in-law without the man in their life. He didn't truly think it was his fault, but the thought has remained with him over the past four months.
When he was capable enough to move without much pain, to which he would nullify with heroine and alcohol, he decided to take Brianna and his niece over to the States to keep them all safe while things died down. They all flew to New York, where his mother and sister were waiting for them. They wanted Dillon to stay with them, along with Brianna and the baby, but he had to turn down the offer. He didn't need any more of his family getting hurt or in trouble because of him, so he gave them all one final hug and a farewell "I Love you" before stealing a car and driving straight to California. It took him awhile, but when he arrived he set himself up with a courier job and a decent enough apartment. He's spent the past four months living as normal a life as he can, but recently received a letter from his grandfather.
He was supposed to find and meet up with a member of the Hikari clan who was located somewhere in California. The Hikari's had been a family friend, and "business ally", for generations, but Dillon had only officially met this Kazuya once in his life. The two of them had each fought in an underground cage tournament, with each of them making it to the semi-finals before Dillon was told to take a fall. Kazuya had one his fight, and Dillon's grandfather didn't want any sort of violence between the two families. Kazuya went on to win the tournament, and after it was done he had a chat with him, letting Dillon know that he knew he threw the fight. They shared a drink, and firm handshake, and then they walked out of each others lives. The time had come to meet once again, and this time it would be official.
Family Information
The Elders
Roderick William Kyne: The leader of the Irish Kings and Dillon's grandfather: Roderick is a man that has commanded both fear and respect for over forty-five years. He has almost single-handedly made the Kings the most powerful criminal organization in Ireland, and one of the most influential throughout all of western Europe. With his actual family in near shambles as of the events of the past decade, Roderick has spent most of his twilight years getting revenge on those that have caused his family harm. He will not stop until they have all either suffered greatly, or are six feet under.
Gael Irene Kyne - The matriarch of the Kyne family, and Dillon's grandmother: Gael is about as similar to her husband as a mouse is to a lion, but they have held their family together for over fifty years. Unlike Roderick, her time is spent making peace with those that are either allies or neutral with the Kings, and she often attends charity balls and important ceremonies throughout all of Europe. Her kindness is considered to be inhuman, and nearly all of her children and grandchildren compare the women they date or marry to her.
___________________________________
The Lost
Matthias Roderick Kyne - (Murdered almost eight years ago) Matthias Kyne, Dillon's deceased father, was the kind of man that many of the Kings followed without hesitation. He treated his people as though they were friends, and not just as underlings in his organization, and this made him the perfect replacement for his father, Roderick. Unfortunately, only five years after taking the reigns of the Irish Kings from his father, he was murdered in cold blood on the eve of Christmas day. Those responsible were found to be members of an enemy Scottish crime family, the Murdochs. His grave can be found in the Kyne family plot, located on some rolling hills behind his father's mansion.
Yvette Lin Montaire - An ex-american model, and current make-up spokesperson, Yvette Montaire met Matthias Kyne at a young age and fell for him almost instantly. Though she didn't want to ruin her modeling career by moving to Ireland, and he couldn't leave the family business, the two of them remained in a strong, long-distance relationship until the day Matthias died. Though they never married, keeping their personal lives private from the rest of the world, they had three beautiful children together, and they serve as a constant reminder of the love she lost. Each of her children were raised with her last name, but her boys took their father's name the moment they moved back to Ireland.
Liam Seamus Kyne - The younger of Roderick's two children: Liam has always walked in the shadow of his seemingly perfect older brother. No matter how hard he tried to prove himself, he could never outshine Matthias, and so he changed his goals entirely. Knowing he would never be the hier of the Irish Kings, Liam became nothing more than an alcoholic enforcer for the family. It took him quite some time, but he eventually became quite good at bringing harm to those that his father needed punished. Even so, his problems with liquor have caused him a number of problems, and he's been in and out of jail throughout his life. He is currently out on parole.
___________________________________
The Hopefuls
Pierce Brandon Kyne - The first born child of Matthias and Yvette: Pierce has inherited his father's ideals and empathy for his fellow man. He was moved to Ireland when he turned fifteen, after it was obvious that Dillon would be able to function without him. His years in Ireland were spent learning the family business, and getting acquainted with ally and enemy alike. Though he has shown great potential for leadership, his grandfather has found that he may be too empathetic for the lifestyle he was born into. Murder doesn't come easy to him, and the only time he actually killed someone was to save his little brother. He is currently in a maximum security prison in Ireland because of said murder, and has been their for around four months. His daughter, Liara, is currently living with his mother, fiance, and sister in New York City.
Dillon Matthias Kyne - Read the following.
Kaytlin Norah Montaire - The youngest of Matthias and Yvette's children: Kaytlin has inherited her mother's natural beauty. When she was younger, her mother put her in child beauty pageants, to which she won the large majority. As she grew up, Kaytlin became a closeted nerd: finding a love for video games, manga, and countless television shows. She hid this from all of her friends and boyfriends, as she believed that she had a reputation to uphold while she was still attending school. She began modeling for the same agency her mother did when she turned sixteen, and has gone on to earn small roles on television. She is the only one of the three children that refuses to partake in the family business, but still loves her older brothers dearly.
Brianna Sybil Dalaigh - The only daughter of one of the highest ranking members of the Irish Kings and former best friend of Matthias Kyne, Aedan Dalaigh: Brianna has known Pierce since she was thirteen years old. For most of her life, she didn't realize that her father, and the Kyne family, were criminals, but her eyes were opened the moment Matthias was murdered. Ever since then, she has spent nearly all of the time she could making sure that Pierce is safe and happy. She even became quick friends with Dillon when he moved to Ireland, and there were rumors of some secret romance between the two, but each of them have said these are false. She's been engaged to Pierce for almost a year, but prison has put a damper on their wedding. She blames Dillon for what happened to Pierce, and has stated on more than one occasion that she wishes Dillon was imprisoned instead.
___________________________________
The Future
Liara Eve Kyne - The four month old daughter of Pierce Kyne and Brianna Dalaigh, and Dillon's only niece: Liara was born only a few days before her father went to prison. She and her mother moved to the States for their own safety, after realizing that they were probably targets because of their closeness to Pierce. They have lived in peace over the past four months, getting to know Pierce and Dillon's mother and little sister.
Living Information
Current Profession: Courier - Dillon needed a low profile job after fleeing Ireland, and working for the make-shift postal service seemed like the perfect choice. Not only has he been able to lay low for the past four months, but he's been able to receive secret messages from his family to stay up to date on what's been going on in Ireland and New York. He often opens mail to see if he can get some extra cash from birthday cars or pay checks that he can forge into one of his fake accounts, but for the most part he does his job like every other postal worker.
Living Arrangement: Ocean View Apartments Room 414 - His apartment is fairly unassuming, aside from the smell of pot smoke that sometimes seeps out of the crack beneath his door. For such a cheap and poorly managed apartment complex, the view of the ocean is something to be admired. Aside from the view, the apartment has two bedrooms, a decent-sized living room that's combined with an average kitchen area, a cozy bathroom, and a number of closets. Most of the apartment is empty, but that's only because he wasn't able to bring much of anything from Ireland to the States.

Reptilian Heritage: An inner power that is usually only unlocked by a Kyne once every few generations: The Reptilian Heritage gives its user a number of dangerous abilities and useful enhancements that help ensure their survival. Along with these new attributes and abilities, the user's pupils shift and change to something more like that of a serpent. Besides the eyes, there are no other physically obvious changes to the users appearance.
Seeing as the inheritors of this Qi have all lived to reproduce and pass it on to the next generations, it has almost gained a life of its own. Though it has yet to speak to any of the past users, a journal has been passed down from successor to successor telling of abnormally strong desires for things that said user craved most in life. Everything from insatiable greed, to obsessive love, and even a craving to murder are all written within this leather-bound family journal, with each new user experiencing something different than the one before.
With Dillon being the new successor of this Reptilian Heritage, he has the potential to be the strongest of any Kyne before him. With his extensive knowledge of chemistry and toxins, his grandfather believed that he would be able to unlock the full capabilities of the Serpent. It will be a long, and difficult, road for him, but Dillon isn't one to give up just because things got hard. In fact, he tends to fight even harder when given a seemingly insurmountable challenge. This new gift, and curse, will be no different.
Strengths: Creating deadly liquids and gases from ones own body is never a bad thing, especially when you've become immune to any sort of toxin and poison known, and unknown, to man. It also makes drug overdoses and alcohol poisoning impossible because of the qi's "lifeforce", which has become dependent on drugs and alcohol as its desire. In a sense, it takes away the bad effects of said substances, and keeps the "good".
The chemicals that can be produced range from toxic, to poisonous, or even paralytic in nature, and can prove extremely problematic to anyone who comes in contact with them. Besides its obvious defensive strength, this Qi also gives the user increased regenerative abilities. This healing factor can be increased if external chemicals are ingested, such as alcohol, drugs, or poisonous material, but no matter how much is ingested the regeneration will never be instantaneous.
Weaknesses: Deadly touch can come in handy in plenty of instances, but when you can't completely turn off the secretion of the harmful chemicals in your body it becomes a personal drawback. Skin contact with anything becomes extremely dangerous, especially if they don't know about this power, and so gloves are a necessity. With training, this could possibly be controlled, but right now he's SOL.
Also, because of his long life of substance abuse, and the desire his nearly sentient qi has developed for it in the process, Dillon has become dependent on alcohol, drugs, and even poisonous substances. Going even twelve hours without some sort of harmful chemical causes him to go through extreme withdrawals. He has a high chance of dying during this time, because both his body and spirit need the chemicals to function normally, or as normally as a intoxicated person can function.
