Orion

Orion is the second son of Darkseid; dictator of Hellish Apokolips.

Orion is a fictional superhero that appears in comic books published by DC Comics.

 He is the half-brother of Kalibak and Grayven. He later marries Bekka, the daughter of Apokolips Resistance leader Himon. As a child, Orion was traded to New Genesis‘ benevolent leader Highfather for Scott Free, Highfather’s own son, in The (peace) Pact between New Genesis and Apokolips. Raised as the son of Highfather Izaya, under his loving care, Orion was taught to control and focus his rage, and Orion grew to deeply value his adoptive home and its ideals.

This path to maturity was not an easy task given that his heritage boiled with the rage of the brutal and merciless Darkseid. Learning how to control that dark nature consumed much of Orion’s youth. However, on top of his adoptive parent’s care, his friends among the New Gods, particularly Lightray, helped him channel his Dark Side toward the protection of his adopted homeworld New Genesis.

As a result of that personal struggle, Orion’s inherited traits and learned focus allowed Orion to become the most powerful warrior and hero of New Genesis. His fighting skill, stamina, relentlessness, and ruthlessness have earned him the nickname “The Dog of War”, who still occasionally needs the aid of his Mother Box to help control his emotions when they threaten to get the better of him. Orion counts among his closest friends Lightray, Metron, Jezebelle, Scott Free, Big Barda, and Forager.

Astro-force: As a full round action, Orion can unleash the Astro-force. This attack deals 30d6 cosmic damage and requires a ranged touch attack (+41) to hit. The Astro-force has a range of 2000 feet.

The Astro-force may also be utilized every 1d4 rounds as an immediate action to form an energy shield. The shield absorbs up to 50 points of any type of energy damage, including cosmic.

Finally, the Astro-force may undo harmful magical effects in a manner similar to break enchantment or greater Dispel magic. The Astro-force has a dispel check of 1d20 + 30 for this purpose.

Rage: Upon taking damage, Orion must make a Will save (DC= damage dealt) or fall into a black rage. In such a state he gains Superstrength Level 8 and will not come out of the rage until every foe around him is dead or appears to be. Orion can barely distinguish between friend and foe in this state, but will not attack a creature who has not attacked him.

Possessions: The Astro-harness, which allows Orion to use his Astro-force attacks, also grants him a fly speed of 300 feet (good). The Astro-harness has Super Speed Level 10, although Orion can only utilize its bonus actions for movement.

Orion’s Mother Box feeds him calming empathic signals. If Orion falls into a rage, she begins targeting him with a calm emotions effect to bring him out of it. The initial Will save DC of the effect is 35, and increases by +1 every round. If there are only foes in the vicinity, Mother Box may forgo this effect until Orion’s foes are no longer a threat.
