Profile

Domino has been a significant player in the 'freelance operative' field for most of the last five years. She's no mere mercenary, either. The woman has a remarkable talent for the skills required to go after hard targets, whether they need extraction, location, or elimination. In short, she's got a reputation as a paid assassin, and a damn good one. Aside from that, there's little know about her personal life in any capacity. She doesn't show up in any major military rosters, either, leaving a lot of questions unanswered about how and where she gained her specific skillset.

Description

ExpandClick to expand.

Domino-- never 'Neena'-- is a distinctive looking individual. Her face is round, with plush cheekbones and punctuated by a flat chin. Otherwise flawless pale skin is marred with a distinctive black patch covering her left eye going back to meet her hair. Her eyes are blue and bright beacons, but carry a look of determination, and anger. Her nose flat and slightly wide but with a narrow, sharply defined bridge. She wears simple stud earrings, and the sharp definition of her jaw and the subtle muscles in her neck suggest a carefully honed physique. Her hair sports no styling, long and black it flows freely behind her.

Domino's definitely a fit woman. Her collarbone forms a clear relief with firm shoulders and arms that sport subtly defined muscle. She's not as lean as a runner, but certainly looks like someone accustomed to physical fitness as a way of life. Her clothing is clearly 'working' gear, a lightweight tactical vest that sports thin armor plates and narrow pauldrons. It's tactical shades of blues and greys and sports attachment points for equipment. A durable bodysuit clings to her narrow curves, with reinforced fingerless gloves, tactical belt, and thigh-high boots with a sturdy motorcycle heel and riveted impact points on the shin guard. She's carrying at least three firearms, visibly, and equipment for them as well.

History

ExpandClick to expand.

The product of a US black ops program using genetic engineering in hopes of creating a super soldier, Neena was born in the Project Armageddon facility, located in the Florida Everglades. She was one of several of children born to a precog named Beatrice, and one of a handful that survived the project's testing and training, but was left catatonic as a result. She was deemed a failure by the project's standards. Rescued by her mother, she was left in the care of a priest in Chicago, where her mutant powers manifested. Little is known of her past beyond this point, apart from scant juvenile criminal records. She bounced between foster homes and orphanages, suffering at the hands of anti-mutant bigots on several occasions. At some point she went overseas, spending time in mercenary companies and receiving significant training in fieldcraft, weapons, and tactics. She finally splashed onto the grid with a number of high-profile assassinations in Southeast Asia, leaving Madripoor behind with a lot of bodies and enemies in her wake.

She was hired by the NSA, where her probability altering powers were put in service of the government to act as a bodyguard (and realistically, prison warden) to a hyper-intelligent man named Milo Thurman, whose ability to calculate historical trends allowed him to nearly predict the future of world events. The two became close, and during this time, Neena gained both a code name (Domino) and a last name (Thurman). The bliss was short lived, as Neena would lose Milo forever, unable to protect him despite all her probability altering powers during a raid that destroyed the facility in which he was kept.

From there Domino flitted from one place to another under multiple assumed names, eventually resurfacing as a mercenary for hire. Back in the United States, she was eventually approached by special task government agencies for clandestine services.

Personality

ExpandClick to expand.

Domino's a tough one to get close to. She runs cold to many, unflappable in the face of danger and her humor running more to wry sarcasm than witty banter. She's far from inhuman, though, with profound sympathy for people struggling under the lash of adversity. Children and families in particular are something she will work to protect, even if it means dumping a payday or making an enemy. When it comes to work, she is generally regarded as amoral, effective, and direct. In terms of her personal life, there's always a subtle wall up around her. It suggests someone who has lost in the past, and keeps to themselves to avoid getting hurt again. The few times Domino really opens up is when feeding a thrill-seeking addiction, launching herself into danger as if daring the world to finally put her down for good.

Abilities

ENHANCED NEUROLOGY
Domino cheats at everything, including her biology. In truth, Domino's reflexes are only a bit better than a baseline human's. But her probability awareness ties her cerebral cortex into her nervous system, sometimes even bypassing chemical nodes to stimulate the nerves directly. It's almost an anticipatory prescience, her body reacting to decisions she might not have deliberately made yet. This gives her a tremendous edge particularly in combat, and one she takes ready advantage of.

SUPER LUCK

Domino is lucky. And not in the sense of leading a charmed life; she has incredible, nigh-impossible good luck. It ranges from 'found a winning lottery ticket under a bus seat' to 'fell out of an airplane, landed on a birthday bouncy castle'. Sometimes this luck takes on some far-ranging aspects, putting her in the right place at the right time to do something she didn't remotely anticipate days or even weeks ago. Other times, it's more direct. The precise way the 'luck' works out is difficult to pin down. Sometimes a pursuing car randomly breaks down; sometimes she bumps into the one soldier who didn't reassemble his gun properly last week. This luck works in her favor, or to the detriment of her opponents, bystanders, or even allies. Her luck works best when stakes are high, adrenaline is pumping, and she's putting serious effort into a task.

Skills

ExpandClick to expand.

SUPERIOR SOLDIER

Domino was bred and trained for special warfare. Much of her earliest life was spent developing the base physical and mental conditioning that is most desirable for a combatant. Atop that, she spent most of the last decade of her life training with mercenaries and special operations groups all over the world. She has an intimate familiarity with firearms in common use all over the world and is a remarkably shooting expert. Few security systems offer more than a passing inconvenience for her and she can infiltrate and disappear with ease in almost any environment. Close-quarters combat, urban operations, and even wilderness survival all keep her alive and fighting in desperate quarters. She can operate small jets, bush planes, helicopters, boats, and military or performance vehicles with ease. Anything else, she just mashes buttons until things just ... work out.

Resources

CONTACTS
Domino has multiple mercenary and government contacts around the globe. She's well known within the soldier for hire circuit, and she's both hired gun and watched threat in governmental circles.

SAFEHOUSES
Set up all over the world, these include emergency medical supplies, passports, fake identification, money in multiple currencies, weapon caches, and the necessities of life. Domino can go off-grid completely when needed and not have to surface for supplies, potentially for years.

WALKING ARMORY

Domino's always ready for a fight, even when she's slumming it in a t-shirt and jeans to pick up the milk. When it comes time to throw down, she has access to an arsenal of firearms and armor and materiel that would make any special operator weep in joy. Cutting-edge body armor, NVGs, radios, modern military weapons, custom ammo, armored vehicles, and even heavy munitions like RPGs and machine guns are all on hand. If she needs something really unique, she can usually find a way to acquire the needed tools.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

BROKEN DEALS
Domino's propensity for feeling guilt or compassion at inopportune moments have caused her to double cross very dangerous individuals. This puts both her ability to get mercenary work and her life in jeopardy, and she isn't capable of running and hiding forever.

CHICKENS
Domino is afraid of chickens. The technical term for this is 'Alektorophobia' for people who want to know why Domino once blew up a henhouse with a grenade.

EASILY IDENTIFIED
Domino's a striking woman, with an unchecked spray of tightly curling black hair and a distinctive face and swagger. Add in her heterochromatic eyes and the unique vitiligo around her left eye, and she's the kind of person who doesn't just 'blend' without taking some specific efforts.

RISK TAKING

Unpacking Domino's fixation on high-risk activity would take a team of psychologists and at least two physicists. She certainly has an addiction to thrill-seeking behaviours. Part of it is a flirtation with just how much she can rely on her powers, always looking for that bleeding edge where luck breaks down for her. Part of it too is certainly something depressive, a death wish associated with someone who has some severe personality issues. Given her positively ruinous social life, that last part seems to be as likely as any other.
