Lyonel Mycenae

"My name is Lyonel Mycenae, and I am a descendant of the Greek hero Perseus."

- Lyonel Mycenae to Rias Gremory

Lyonel Mycenae is the main male protagonist of Highschool DxD: The King of Lions. He is a third-year student at Kuoh Academy and the leader of the Argos Team. He is a descendant of Perseus, the son of Azazel, and the possessor of the Nemean Lion, Regulus; wielding the Sacred Gear Regulus Nemea.

Appearance
Lyonel is a handsome young man with short jet black hair that has golden streaks of hair and violet eyes. He has broad shoulders and a muscular body build. He also possesses eight jet-black feathered wings that grows out from his back.

His most commonly worn outfit is the Kuoh Academy boy's school uniform, which consists of a black blazer over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with black highlights with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and black dress shoes.

Lyonel's outfit outside of school consists of a black leather jacket with golden stripes over a navy blue t-shirt along with black trousers and white shoes with blue stripes.

Personality
Lyonel has a calm and serious personality and cares deeply for those he loves and who he considers to be his comrades. He also shows a proper attitude of respect towards beings that deserve it. Like his father, Lyonel is charismatic at times but hates it whenever he is compared to his father as he believes that others only see him as the son of Azazel and not as himself.

While he is not a battle maniac like Vali, Lyonel has a strong desire to always emerge from a fight as the winner. Though he rarely shows it, Lyonel inherited his father's perverted nature, although it is more downplayed and attempts to maintain a detached and "cool" image.

History
Lyonel is the only child of Serena Mycenae, a descendant of Perseus and Azazel, a Fallen Angel and the Governor General of the Fallen Angel organization, Grigori. After his mother and the other descendants of Perseus were slaughtered by his uncle Viktor Mycenae, Lyonel's father took him in and raised him.

He met Vali Lucifer and befriended him while they were taught how to properly use their powers and their Sacred Gears. A year before the start of the story, Lyonel was sent to join Kuoh Academy to observe Issei Hyoudou. While at school, he befriended Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri.

Powers & Abilities
Power of Kings: Lyonel's signature skill that he inherited from his ancestor, Perseus. The heat of his golden flames can increase in temperature, which is proportional to Lyonel's emotional state. This form is called the Flames of Emotion. When fully mastered, the flames are able to burn off demonic and holy attacks. Fallen Angel King Ruin Mode (Datenshi Kingu Ruin Mōdo): A mode that is achieved by condensing his Power of Kings blood and fusing it with the Power of Destruction and his Fallen powers. In this form, Lyonel gains twelve jet-black feathered wings that are covered in a crimson aura and drastically increases his powers. After using it, Lyonel is left heavily exhausted afterwards.
 * Burning Soul: Lyonel's signature attack. He gathers golden flames on his open right palm, imbuing it with Regulus's earth-breaking powers, and then clenches his fist to punch the target. When this punch connects, a large lion's face materializes from the flames and strikes the target, blasting them away with great force. He can also unleash it in the form of a devastating stream of golden flames at his enemies.
 * Nova: Lyonel's body is surrounded by a cloak of golden flames, allowing him to move through the air at incredible speeds. With his speed, Lyonel assaults his opponents with quick, but powerful, melee attacks.

Equipment
Regulus Nemea:  One of the 13 Longinus, Regulus Nemea takes the form of a giant battle axe that resides the spirit of the Nemean Lion named Regulus. Lyonel's Longinus is a sub-species, instead of a battle-axe, it created a pair of gauntlets to augment Lyonel's power.
 * Regulus Almighty Gaia Havoc: (Regurusu Ōrumaiti Gaia Habokku): Also known as the Golden Reign of the Lion King is the original Balance Breaker of Regulus Nemea that allows Lyonel to become Regulus itself. It takes on the form of a golden glowing aura that allows the wielder to generate shockwaves by shattering the air around them like glass.
 * Breakdown the Beast (ブレイクダウン・ザ・ビースト, Bureikudaun za Btsuto): Also known as the Beast of Supremacy is the Regulus Nemea's version of Juggernaut Drive. In this form, Lyonel's armor changes color to violet, black, and gold. It possesses immense power, allowing the wielder to use the full power of the Nemean Lion.
 * Basileus Assault Burstmode (アクセルクエーサー バーストモード, Bashireusu Asuruto Burstmode): Is a new enhanced form that surpasses the Breakdown the Beast. Lyonel obtained it after the past possessors acknowledged his strength. In this form, the color of his armor changes to metallic gold with crimson jewels. Like Issei's and Vali's upgraded versions of their Juggernaut Drive, it does not consume his lifespan. In this form, Lyonel has access to Zodiac Eruption, an attack that creates multiple projections that are capable of attacking the enemy using various attacks, and finishes them off with a powerful beam attack.
