Imperceptibility

Domino’s aptitude at this particular gift was discovered by her parents not long after she turned three years old. The gift developed rather quickly throughout her childhood. At first it manifested itself in such a way that her parents mistook her disappearance as a sort of invisibility. As she grew older the power grew with her. She could become more quiet to the point that she was completely silent to those around her. It came in spurts though. She would be having a conversation one minute and in the next her mother's eyes would go wide, for though she could see her daughter's lips moving, no sound would come out. There wasn't one moment that Domino wasn't confused by the peculiarness of touching someone and them never turning to see who was the on touching them. They just couldn't feel her. They couldn't hear, smell, or see her either. She had the capability to be dead to human senses, and though she really had no reason to hide herself so she began to see how useful it could be to be completely imperceptible.

Domino always thought being invisible would be a rather odd experience. Certainly not being able to see yourself would be peculiar indeed. She never imagined that being capable of seeing yourself, and knowing that others were completely oblivious to your existance would be so much more useful. Most people in the world are affected by her ability the same. For most people, gifted and ungifted, she can pass by them in an empty street and they won't even realize that she's there. Of course, that is only if she wishes to be imperceivable. Imagine a series of switches on the inside of little Domino's brain. There is the main switch that turns her 'off' to the world as a whole. No ordinary human senses can detect her. A few people that have unique gifts such as power sensing can identify her presence when she has put her gift in effect.

Accelerated Probability

This abillity isn't as easy to control for Domino as being imperceptible is. It is less controlled than her more dominant gift, yet it can still be very effictive if she concentrates enough. It isn't as easy as repeating a phrase, or a certain prefered outcome in her head over and over. Most the time she doesn't even realize she is putting the power to use. Generally, she just seems to have better luck than most people. Or, if she happens to be in a dour mood, she had luck worst than most others. Domino is generally happy though, despite her poker face, and the odds seem to be in her favor ninety nine percent of the time.

When she is specifically asked to 'help' in her own way she will take a minute or so and really concentrate on whatever the outcome she hopes for more. As soon as she has the final outcome in her head, the actual image of it of course, she just stores it in the sidelines of her thoughts and hopes for the best. Somehow it seems to actually help whatever situation she is 'hoping' for. If meeting and opponent this ability is always helpful. She'll hope to make it out unscathed, or to make it out alive. Obviously that certain hope has been granted thus far.

Acquired Powers:

Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 100
Build: Petite. Almost childlike with the exception of slight feminine curves.
Physical Appearance:

At first glance most people would think that Domino is actually fifteen or sixteen years old. Domino has always been small for her age. After the age of fifteen she just seemed to stop growing. Her mother was 5'6" and her father was 6' even, so she was expected to be taller than what she is. Her petite body structure left her appearing very childlike as far as her body goes. Her womanly curves are basically nonexistant though she swears that there is something there... somewhere. Though she is twenty four years old, she does appear to be stuck in puberty. With the lack of a curvacious body the only thing that really sets her apart from an actual preteen is that she walks with more grace and confidence then that of a fourteen year old. In most aspects of her build she resemble her mother.

Though her facial structure and body resemble her mother, her facial features greatly resemble those of her father. She has eyes that are the same color as dirt, plain old boring brown. Her hair is much the same color, though it falls down longer than most's. A faint tan has always been present in her skin from birth. Domino prefers the night and seems to enjoy the nights much more than the hot, drawn out days. So instead of accumulating a dark, deep set tan that many people seem to sport her skin is pale, almost a porcelain shade that the sun has affected in the smallest of percentiles. No freckles are splayed across her cheekbones, nor are any sun spots that some of the people she has encountered seem to collect. She seems delicate, both with her body and the way her face portrays her. Many people talk with their hands, but with Domino her emotions seem to be painted out right on the surface of her face. She is quick to smile, frown, or smirk. Much of the free times she encounters is spent talking with someone or another, and most the time she has a different face for every varying degree of emotion. At other times however, her face will be seemed to be carved of granite; stoic to say the lease.

She is very aware that she could be thrown into a physical situation at any time and her reflexes and physique could help save her. So she is very, very concious of her fitness level. Beneath her clothes she is very in shape and very capable of defending herself physically against someone her own size. Unfortunately, that would be a very rare occassion so she took the opportunity to learn how to handle a knife instead. Over the past few years she has actually grown quite accostomed to using the blade for an assortment of assignments. Cutting cloth, slicing an apple, or an opponents throat. It's all in a day's work. She isn't the type of girl to blink at blood or to be affected by the weight of guilt when it comes to defending herself. She's more than ready to use any means for survival, especially if her life is in danger.

Voice:

Domino's voice greatly resembles the sound of bells. Though it is high pitched, it still can be considered musical at times. Domino has a tendency to use her young appearance to her advantage while doing mostly anything. Naturally, her voice is just about as developed as her body. She seems to dance over her statements, taking her time to consider the outcome of each individual choice of words. At times it can seem as though she is constantly teasing you, or perhaps trying to turn your own thoughts on you. This is necessarily true though for Domino wouldn't do this to a friend or ally. However, enemies and foes have been known to fall victim to her fascade of innocence. If it is needed, Domino can disquise emotions in her voice but most the time it is fairly clear what her emotions are, just by the way she speaks.

Phobias:

Domino doesn't have any real phobias, but she certainly has a few fears that are very, very real to her. Abandonment is one of the few things that can set her off. She doesn't have a problem being alone for days at a time, or living in silence for a week, but being truly abandoned or stranded is something that she doesn't cope well with. Half of the reason is that she is afraid of many of the powers that lurk within the bodies of many people she encounters on a daily basis. Though she is confident in her own powers, she is still very cautious of the powers of others'.

Just like everyone else in the modern world, Domino hates the Walkers. Not just hates, but utterly despises the things. Ever since her mother turned from her normal self into one of the monsters, she has hated their kind. Well, more than she had in the first place. Fear for the species is a learned reaction. Absolute hate is more of an automatic response. It has proven to be a healthy sort of fear though, and it is one of the only that can keep her up at night.

Hopes and Motivations:

At the end of the day Domino doesn't lie down hoping to go up the ranks. She doesn't hope to outdo whoever she associates herself with or to become the next leader of the Banner. All she can really hope for is to better herself. To become more of a woman that can stand up for herself when no one else will. Day to day life has already proven that she is on her own as far as a means of defense goes, and she intends to become a better fighter. She wants to survive to see the light of tomorrow and to forget about her past. There really isn't any need, at least in her mind, to find someone the fall 'madly in love' with. She remembers the fair tales she used to be told before bed time when things in the world were normal, and she recalls the type of love that her parents' shared. However, she in no way shape or form wants to be hindered by any sort of attatchment or compassion that could, in the end, lead her to falter.

Likes and Dislikes:

Obviously Domino hates such things as going hungry or without sleep for days at a time. Walkers, and anything to do with them, grinds her gears as well. Then again, who wouldn't be annoyed when they are deprived of normal, everyday necessities that ever human needs or when faced by a zombie like creature that wouldn't hesitate to rip your face off? However, if she ends up in such a situation she considers both her knife and shotgun a best friend.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

When the time calls for it, she is very capable of severing her emotions from whatever she is doing physically. Whether that be that she is slaughtering a Walker or if her feelings are affecting her performance, she can put the emotional Domino aside and think in a more animalistic way. Killing a Walker isn't difficult, it's either kill or be killed. And if emotions just so happen to become a problem then she sure as hell will put an end to it. Domino is also very talented with a dagger. For the past few years she has taken a blade with her anywhere she goes and it has saved her many many times. On a more sour note, Domino isn't the best at getting her point across. At times she will end up talking in circles, trying to explain her reasoning. When dealing with or trying to help someone like Gareth, it isn't a helpful trait to have at all. Sometimes he gets so fed up with her that he just refuses to listen at all and will literally make her shut up. Gotta' love his puppeteering. Also, Domino isn't all that talented at figuring out when people are being serious, and when they aren't. If anything she is completely oblivious to sarcasm, or maybe she just chooses to ignore snide remarks. It seems to be a little bit of both. Obviously physically she is lacking. There isn't a single fight she will win physically if she was without her knife, and even then most of the time it's because they are unaware of the knife in the first place.

General Personality:

Family and Connections: Clarisse Rhodes was a clairvoyant. She was killed by the Banner at the age of 25. Domino's father John Rhodes was quite handy at manipulating people, for he was 'gifted' with the art of puppeteering.
Quick History:

Domino wasn't born into the life of a straggler, instead she was born as a normal, american child living in an average house with two working parents. About four or five years into her parents' relationship. John had been raised to be a bit old fashioned and though he loved Clarisse, he gave her as much time and space as she needed to be just as comfortable with him as well. If anything, Domino was a bit of a scare but a welcome surprise nonetheless. Life passed in an uneventful blur up until 2012. She was only ten years old, and though she was still a child she was forced to grow up and to realize that life would never be the same. Her parents assured her that things would get better, that life would one day return to normal, but that day never came

For living in a pile of rubble Domino's life seemed pretty average. Her parents both lived as most stragglers did, doing what they could to get by. Occasionally they would run across a familiar face or a friendly helping hand but living alone together suited them just fine. They had known differently, of course, but they figured that you had to make the best of what you had. Especially her mother, Clarisse. She never went a day without a smile on her face. She would smile at her misfortunes rather than wallow in how horrible their lives had really become. Optimism really didn’t mean anything unless you had met Clarisse before. John on the other hand was a practical man, analytical and very observant. The pair complimented each other, filling in the gaps in each other’s personalities fluidly.

The ten year old child eventually grew into the makings of a pre-teen. It was just the three of them living in Central Park for a long time before they joined with a man and woman in their mid thirties. They introduced themselves as Marian and Carl Mohr. Carl was nothing special, just another straggler with no powers to speak of. On the first night that they were hudled around the same campfire, he confided to Domino's father that his wife was convinced she was gifted, but he still didn't believe her after knowing her for most of his life. Marian was truly gifted though, she was able to sense other's powers. Though the power seemed minute, it helped her throughout her life more than she ever could have explained to her ungifted husband. Clarisse had forseen her daughter being a valuable individual, but throughout her child's life had never been able to identify her gift. It was actually Marian that was the first to identify Domino as being imperceptible.

Domino had in a sense 'shut herself off' from the world. But unlike most preteens, she was able to fully and effectively do so. No one would ever speak to her when she wanted to be alone. She could move around without being heard, or brush up against someone without really being felt. Domino never realized that she was any different from anyone else. One day, however, Marian approached the area where Domino had been hiding. No one had ever done such a thing before, and after only a few short minutes Marian left the area in a hurry. By the time Domino had returned home Marian had explained much of what she had experienced to Clarisse. There wasn't a single detail that she had left out of her story, and despite her mother's fear for her daughter, she was accepting of the gift.

Over time Domino's gift grew stronger, as did her bravery.
