[b]Personality[/b]
Firstly, Deon is incredibly conceited and self-centered. His only priority is himself which he often-times refers to as "number one." He is incredibly boastful and cocky and appears to believe himself invincible, given his mutant abilities. He will stop at nothing to prove himself better than the rest in whatever he can, and when losing, he somehow twists his words to make himself the victor in one way or another. He doesn't know how to lose.

In battle, whether it be verbal or physical, he is extremely cut-throat and merciless. He has killed hundreds in Stryker's name, and shows no remorse in the lives he takes knowing that one day, it will lead him to the death of his father. He fights with a raw, animalistic rage that comes from his mutation, the only break to his human side being that he outwardly laughs at his pain, refusing to show any weakness. His reputation within Stryker's personal arsenal has instilled fear in others for facing the proverbial beast. It has been noted by many that a proverbial fire seems to light in his eyes when he has done a job successfully and to his liking, or when he gets excited about the idea of taking on one of these jobs. This fire, coupled with a twisted, smug smile on his face, is a thirst for warfare that he simply gets drunk off of, and had become addicted to.

His hardened exterior can be chipped away, though, when a woman or two come into play, as he is a bit of a womanizer and has a pretty high sexual drive. He will, however, never put a woman on too high of a priority level, especially when his reputation is on the line of being a "bad boy." This is a huge factor that comes into play with a woman in his past - the mother of his son. The moment he found out that she was pregnant, and would be keeping it, he dropped her for good, making it more than clear that he didn't want to be weighed down by the inconvenience.

When enticed, he can be quite charming and ever the smooth-talker. This, along with his bad boy nature, for some reason, always manages to have a handful of girls out for his attention and hanging off his arm.

[b]Hobbies:[/b]
When not forced into doing something he doesn't want to do, Deon can usually be found somewhere where there is gym equipment. He enjoys showing off his muscles by either wearing lose basketball shorts and a wife-beater, or even no shirt at all. Not only does he get off on knowing that others are watching him reach his physical limits, but the adrenaline that it brings his body is something else he is rather fond of, as well as all of the other endorphins that comes with getting sweaty and feeling physically great.

[b]Brief Biography:[/b]
Logan was just a young man when he fell his childhood friend, Rose O'Hara, pregnant with Deon. The child only had just a few short months with his mother and father before during one of his night terrors, Logan killed Rose in his sleep, leaving Deon motherless. When Logan had realized what he had done, he left Canada as quickly as he could, entrusting Deon to Rose's family to take care of him, fearful that he might do the same to his son.

As Deon grew up, there was very little that anyone would tell him about his parents - only that his mother had died unexpectedly, and his father was unknown. Deon grew up comfortably with this knowledge, as he had his grandparents and plenty of cousins to love and surround him. But in an incident that involved one of the school bullies picking on a girl he liked, Deon quickly discovered that he was no ordinary boy. Bone-like claws split the skin between his knuckles and extended a good twelve inches. An animalistic sort of anger overtook his normally good-boyish self. Thankfully, the bully remained unhospitalized and Deon was quickly calmed down enough for his grandparents to come and get him and start to explain who his father really was, though the details of how his mother really died remained buried with her body.

The truth, however, uncovered itself when news had reached Logan that Deon wanted to meet him. And to the surprise of both Deon (but moreso, Deon's grandparents as they weren't too thrilled to see him), Logan agreed and came back to Port Hope to introduce himself to his son, and to become a part of his life. The first few years were great, but Logan's conscious got the better of him when he couldn't stand another moment in lying to Deon about how he had accidentally killed his mother. Deon didn't seem to react to the news, at least, not in the way Logan expected. He simply nodded his head, and told his father that he understood. But not two weeks later, Deon started acting out. Concerned, Deon's grandparents asked Logan to leave, as he was only upsetting the boy, but Logan was convinced that it was just simple teenage rebellion. But after Deon started finding himself getting arrested more and more, Logan agreed that perhaps he wasn't helping the boy anymore, and took his leave, giving Deon even more reason to despise the man he found to be lying to him his entire life.

Shortly after Logan left, Deon ran away - straight to William Stryker - the man responsible for making his father near-indestructable. He poured out his heart to the man, claiming that if Stryker did to Deon what he did to Logan, he would bring Logan back to him or kill him in the process. It took months to gain Stryker's trust, but after many trial runs the proposal was accepted, and Deon underwent the same treatment Logan had not years ago.

True to his word, Deon from that point onward sought to hunt his father down and kill him. He got close once, but underestimated his father's X-friends. He came to a point, yet again that he was sure he could do Stryker's bidding, but the contract came about as well as the school, and Deon was forced into a (temporary) truce. It was his idea, however, to enroll in the school just so that he can keep an eye on dear old pop.

[b][h2]Powers and Abilities[/h2][/b]
[hr][hr]
The most obvious thing about Deon's mutation are the sharp, (near) indestructible claws that protrude from between his knuckles - one of many trademarks he shares with his father. He is able to enable and retract them at will, but experiences pain each time he does either. The claws themselves can cut almost any known, solid material, including most metals, wood, and some varieties of stone. The only known expceptions are adamantium itsself and Captain America's shield, which is made out of a proto-adamantium-vibranium alloy.

Deon's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon both the amount of force he can exert and the thickness of the substance. His claws can also be used to block attacks or projectiles, as well as dig into surfaces allowing Deon to climb structures. The adamantium also weights his blows, increasing the effectiveness of his offensive capabilities. Unfortunately, his adamantium skeleton makes him highly susceptible to magnetic-based attacks.

Also like his father, Deon has an incredibly accelerated healing process that regenerates damaged or destroyed tissues of his body far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human. This healing factor makes him extraordinarily resistant to diseases, drugs, and toxins, however he can still suffer the immediate effects of such substances in massive quantities (tattoos are a real bitch!). It is possible for him to get drunk, or even be incapacitated with incredible amounts of powerful drugs and poisons.

Despite his body's ability to heal, the healing factor itself does not suppress the pain he endures while injured. He feels pain like any other (normal) person would, though his pain tolerance has increased because of these frequent injuries. With more severe injuries that he has recovered from, he still feels "phantom-like" effects. Despite how he may come across, he does not like the pain and sometimes has to really talk himself into situations where he know is going to hurt. Scratches heal within seconds, burns and cuts a few seconds more. Even bullet holes only take a matter of minutes to heal up completely, and all without a single scar to show for the pain he had been put through on a number of occasions.

Although his entire skeleton is made up of adamantium that prevents or reduces many injuries, the healing factor that works hard to constantly keep him healthy is also breaking down his tolerance to the metal within his body, which is progressively making him more and more ill.

This healing factor also affects a number of his physical attributes by increasing them to superhuman levels. His stamina is sufficiently heightened to the point he can exert himself for numerous hours, even after exposure to powerful tranquilizers. Deon's agility and reflexes are also enhanced to levels that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete. Due to the healing factor's constant regenerative qualities, he can push his muscles beyond the limits of the human body without injury. This, coupled by the constant demand placed on his muscles by over one hundred pounds of adamantium, grants him some degree of superhuman strength. Since the presence of the adamantium negates the natural structural limits of his bones, he can lift or move weight that would otherwise damage a human skeleton. He has been known to break steel chains, lift several men above his head with one arm and throw them through a wall and hauling a concert grand piano, which can weigh as much as 1,300 pounds, and the platform it rests on, via a harness, while climbing a sheer cliff (ask Stryker about that one).

It is unknown whether or not Logan's ability to slow his aging process down was carried onto his son, as he is only twenty years old and is aging normally.

Deon's mutation also consists of animal-like adaptations of his body, though unlike his father, he did not inherit the fangs. He does, however, have a heightened sense of sight, smell and hearing to superhuman proportions. He can see with perfect clarity at greater distances than an ordinary human, even in near-total darkness. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing him to both hear sounds ordinary humans cannot and also hear to greater distances. Deon is able to use his sense of smell to track targets by scent, even if the scent has been eroded somewhat over time by natural factors. This sense also allows him to identify shapeshifting mutants despite other forms they may take. He is also able to use his senses of smell and hearing, through concentration, as a type of natural lie detector, such as detecting a faint change in a person's heartbeat and scent due to perspiration when a lie is told.

[b]Other:[/b]
Growing up with his grandparents, Deon has learned to speak English, Lakota, Cheyenne and Russian all rather fluently. And although he may be self-taught, Deon has a knack for using his instincts to track down people who wish to not be found, and "take care of them" by surprise.

Using some of the money he has gained from Stryker over the years, Deon uses his [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/68/cd/09/68cd097493362e8999621ca4a13b8e2f--kawasaki-motorcycles-sport-motorcycles.jpg]motorcycle[/url] as his preferred mode of transportation and often uses it to lure women into going on rides with him.

Although it rarely happens, sometimes Deon's body will completely shut down on him after a pulse of excruciating pain that will eventually render him unconscious. Unknown to everyone including Deon, this is because of the metal poisoning within his system that his body is slowly starting to reject.
