Strengths & weaknesses
(+) Warrior philosopher: Savvy autodidact, headstrong sunofagun. He'll out-wit you, or maybe just kick your teeth in.

(-) Mentally unstable: Neurotic to the bone, Dom is susceptible to a litany of psychological complexes. Listen to him ramble about nothing and everything all at once.
Appearance
Dom is tall and slender with broad but bony shoulders set on a lean frame. He is athletically built but not muscle-bound. He frequently walks with a slight slouch-- a reflection of his aloof demeanor, his hands often tucked away in his pockets. His face is gaunt and his hair is messy.
Biography
Born in Crimson Corridor, Coruscant, Dom was orphaned as an infant. He knows little of his biological parents, just that he was born of a poor young single mother who couldn't afford to keep her only son. Dom was dropped off at one of the many overcrowded orphanages in the underworld, and bounced in and out of foster programs until he settled in with the Volajus, a poor but self-sufficient couple who wanted a child but couldn't afford the district's birth license.
Life in the underworld of Coruscant is quite difficult for children. Publicly funded schools are little more than a daily circus, and there are little in the way of safe parks or playgrounds. Instead, Dom read everything he could get his hands on. While the young reader was one of the cleverest in all of his classes, there were little to no opportunities for "Twilighters" from the lower levels to apply themselves. At the age of 16 he was out of school and in and out of even the most basic of jobs he could find. Dom soon learned the importance of self-reliance, though such a thing can only work for so long. Sooner or later, you need something to grab onto. He joined a street gang like nearly every orphan does, it seems.
The street gang work led to him being discovered by a certain Lee Sai-fon, a high-ranking elder of the local Green Snake syndicate. "Master" Lee took Dom under his wing and put a gun in his hand. Dom had found an identity. He thrived on the edge of right and wrong, and under the tutelage of his new-found father figure, he became a legendary gangster at just the age of 23. Of course, that was all before the infamous Nongfu Massacre.
He rarely speaks of his personal life now. Something constantly bothers him, and many believe they know why. He lives the life of a cowboy, uncomfortable settling down in one place for too long. Some say he's a just a lost soul, others say he's a wrrior on the run.
