Race: God
Nationality: Greek
Gender: Male
Hair: A deep Chestnut Brown with flecks of red highlighting
Eyes: A green as intense as the verdant Grapes he so enjoys.
Mannerisms: For a God of wine, ritual madness, and fertility Dionysus is in fact calm and collected. He watches and sees things from beginning to end. He delights in his carefully laid plans creating chaos and madness among his followers and the other Gods. Only rarely does the chaos and madness slip through in his day to day actions.

Distinguishing Marks: His feet are stained red with the blood of a thousand maenads.... No actually they're stained with grape juice.
Occupation: God of Wine, Wine making, Grape Harvest, Ritual Madness, and Ecstasy
Additional Information: Was a student of Chiron. Is a son of Zeus. A consort of Aphrodite and Ariadne.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths: Strong yet reserved, his mind is more a weapon than his muscles. His weapon of choice is his Thyrsus, a fennel staff tipped with a pine cone.
Weaknesses: He delights in wine to the point of drunkenness, his love for madness can make him preoccupied with mortals.
Abilities: He can give off an aura of Madness. Causing those around him to lose their sanity for short stretches of time. This works best on mortals. He is also able to transform objects from one thing to another and bestow his followers with gifts.
Background/Biography: Dionysus is the protector of those who do not belong to conventional society and thus symbolizes everything which is chaotic, dangerous and unexpected, everything which escapes human reason and which can only be attributed to the unforeseeable action of the gods. His thyrsus is sometimes wound with ivy and dripping with honey. It is a beneficent wand but also a weapon, and can be used to destroy those who oppose his cult and the freedoms he represents. He is the Liberator, whose wine, music and ecstatic dance frees his followers from self-conscious fear and care, and subverts the oppressive restraints of the powerful. Those who partake in his mysteries are possessed and empowered by the god himself.
