He is as powerful as his mother is albeit he still has a lot to learn before he could be called a sorcerer or a master of the mystic arts. Like his mother and his grandfather who he was named after, Giovanni can cast his spells by speaking backward. This unique style of incantation allows him to focus his magic and bend reality to his will. > Illusionist - Giovanni is a master when it comes to casting illusions, using his talent in a variety of ways to help him escape certain life or death situations. He's such a proficient illusionist that he doesn't even need to speak backwards in order to conjure them. > Escapism - He is taught by his mother at an early age to free himself from being trapped as a way of introducing him to magic and the world of showmanship, even without the help of magic. At kindergarten age, Giovanni could easily free himself from wearing a strait-jacket while underwater. > Mediumship - An ability he inherited from his father, Giovanni can see the spirits/ghosts of the deceased and speak/interact with them. The same goes for paranormal beings or creatures that can't be seen by the naked eye like fairies, demons, and the like. [color=#5858B7]Weaknesses:[/color] > Giovanni is not the best hand-to-hand combatant. He's also a bit physically weak too as he's so dependent on his magic. > His technique heavily relies on his ability to speak backwards in order to initiate a spell. As such, Giovanni would be unable to cast a spell if he is gagged or deprived of his ability to speak. [color=#5858B7]Personality: [/color] Bashful, Inquisitive, Anxious, Persevering, Sympathetic [color=#5858B7]BRIEF Bio:[/color] Giovanni, nicknamed "Gio", was the son of Zatanna Zatara and John Constantine. Zatanna raised him with the help of his grandfather who he was lovingly named after, along with the aid of other relatives from the world of magic as well. John Constantine was never there for Giovanni during his childhood years yet somehow it didn't affect his mother at all. Giovanni ended up not caring about Constantine in the end as he viewed Zatanna, his grandfather, and the relatives who helped raised him as his only family. Despite being different from his peers, Giovanni's family made sure that he will never feel excluded. He was given the privilege of attending school and trying on all the things a normal human being growing up would experience. At home, he was trained by his mother and grandfather to hone his magic and continue their lineage. Zatara actually wanted Giovanni to become a superhero someday just like his mother and his grandfather, but only after he finishes college. However, the greatest tragedy occurred. A creature called Doomsday fell down from the skies and rampaged throughout the Earth. Many died by his hands and there were also those who were killed trying to stop him. Included in the list of heroes who valiantly fought Doomsday to the very end was Zatanna. Grief struck the Zatara household and even during his mother's funeral, Giovanni never saw even a speck of shadow of his father. He was angry at John Constantine and swore he will never see him as a father. Remembering his mother's dream for him, Giovanni sought out to use his magic to help protect the innocent and save the world, while also making sure to pass all his classes. [color=#5858B7]Potential Storylines:[/color] Hopefully, the team would be in a situation that involves anything supernatural/magic related. It's also interesting to see how the other characters would react to them. At the same time, it will also help Giovanni grow as a human being and become a stronger magician. I also like to see Giovanni view the team as his own family in the long run too. [color=#5858B7]Notes:[/color] Giovanni is bisexual, leaning towards liking men more, but being in a relationship is not a priority for him at the moment. Maybe sometime soon. Who knows? [/hider]
