* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While not the most handsome god out there, his ''New 52'' version actually appears to be a rather decent-looking person when his helmet is taken off.



* BeautyEqualsGoodness: {{Averted|Trope}}; having been born in Apokolips, Orion tends to have a rather ugly appearance. In-story, he's so ugly that he often wears a half-mask to conceal his face. He is of Apokoliptian origin, being the son of Darkseid himself; his goodness is due to him being raised on New Genesis by Highfather Izaya from a fairly young age.

* FieryRedhead: He has red hair and he despises Darkseid with a passion.

* TheHero: He's the central protagonist and main focus of the ''New Gods'' storyline, detailing his destiny to be the one to stop Darkseid's tyranny as well as trying to struggle with his inner demons, namely his Apokoliptian nature of being a violent berserker, which is something he inherited from his father.



* HumansAreSpecial: In the ''New 52'', Orion takes more of a shine to the often hapless powerless mortals of existence and the world they inhabit. Going so far as to state that New Gods with all their quirks and immortality just aren't as fascinating as the mortals of earth.

* NurtureOverNature: He was born to Darkseid and Tigra on Apokolips, though was sent off to be raised by Highfather on New Genesis as a peace treaty to stop the two planets from further warring against each other, with Highfather's son, Mister Miracle, being given to Darkseid in exchange. Being raised by a loving father and in a healthy, open-minded environment helped Orion to become very attached and faithful to his adopted circumstances, [[HappilyAdopted dearly loving Highfather and New Genesis]], and become a legitimate hero despite being a WarGod. That said, he inherited Darkseid's bloodlust and rage, something which he struggles to manage and control.



* PragmaticHero: He's willing to kill, and can frequently be cruel and violent in battle (particularly when he's angry), but he also has a clear sense of morality and honor, and does his best to stay kind whenever he isn't fighting. Much of the reason for his respect of Lightray is that Lightray is unimpeachably moral in a way he isn't.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: As befitting of his title, he's the New God's representation of ''War''. His struggle with his violent nature makes him a personification of a ''just war'', fought only when necessary but regretful of its effects. His brother Kalibak represents ''savage war'', fought for the sake and indulgence of violence.
* ArchnemesisDad: His father is none other than ''[[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans Darkseid]]'' and anytime they meet, Orion has made it clear that he hates him and that [[{{Patricide}} he would kill him]] at any moment. Conversely, while Darkseid is [[OffingTheOffspring willing to kill him]], Orion is surprisingly his favorite son out of the three that the audience knows, especially considering that Darkseid's other two sons, Kalibak and Grayven, are straight-up villains.
* AxCrazy: One thing that Orion has inherited from his father is his bloodlust, great rage, and destructive tendencies. Unlike Darkseid, however, Orion doesn't have as much control and mastery over his anger and, as a result, easily finds himself getting lost in extreme moments of rage and becoming a raging engine of destruction unless there's a Mother Box to keep his anger in check.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: {{Averted|Trope}}; having been born in Apokolips, Orion tends to have a rather ugly appearance. In-story, he's so ugly that he often wears a half-mask to conceal his face. He is of Apokoliptian origin, being the son of Darkseid himself; his goodness is due to him being raised on New Genesis by Highfather Izaya from a fairly young age.



* BloodKnight: As a God of War, it seems fitting that Orion has a penchant for getting involved in battles mainly because he enjoys combat, despite his stance of being a heroic god dedicated to maintaining peace.



* HotBlooded: Orion has a knack for getting unnerved several times and thus is quick to get emotional and engaged over matters. It complements his position as a God of War.



* RedBaron: The Dog of War.

* InformedAbility: Highfather is supposedly Darkseid's equal in power and his staff has been repeatedly claimed to be a direct link to the Source granting Highfather access to near limitless energy to manipulate as he wishes along with his cosmic awarness. Yet he rarely does anything and the few times he does take action or a crisis occurs he is portrayed as powerless. In the original run, he was depicted as a truly mighty warrior in his youth, but one that had mostly stepped down to serve as a spiritual ruler, refusing to impose his will upon others, which explains his lack of major feats.
