Domino - never 'Neena' - is a distinctive looking individual. Pure white skin is only marred by a black patch covering the left side of her face. Piercing pale blue eyes carry a look of determination and mischief. Naturally slate grey lips are often blacked out along with her nails, fully leaning into the sharp contrast of light and dark. Straight hair is kept no longer than jaw length and is often a bit of a mess, though a stylized mess which somehow always works in her favor.<br><br>This lady is definitely fit with subtly defined muscle throughout a wiry figure. She's not as lean as a runner but certainly looks like someone accustomed to physical fitness as a way of life. Clothing ranges from leathers to tactical attire and combat boots with the occasional casual outfit on her down days, always fully blacked out. She's always armed in some fashion, usually several, and has gotten to be quite good at concealing lethal options about her person.
|Skills=SUPER SOLDIER
|History=
Neena was born and bred quite literally for war, and spent the better portion of her childhood and youth training to be a one-woman killing machine. She can use nearly any weapon imaginable, can bypass all but the most advanced security systems, track down targets both urban and wild, and go dark for years if needs be. Add close-quarters-combat, survival skills, and the knowledge of how to pilot or drive just about anything with wheels or wings, and you have the total mercenary package that is Domino.

|Resources=BODY ARMOR
<br>
Somewhere between wet suit and cat suit lies... Domino's body armor. It's enough to stop low-caliber rounds and prevent accidents with kitchen cutlery, but blunt trauma, bruises and broken bones are still a factor she has to consider in a fight. Provides thermal protection to -20F, is flame resistant and chemically neutral. Never leave home without it.
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. <br><br>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. <br><br>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=
CONTRACTS
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Personality:'''</span>
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.
<br>
 
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 themself 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.
INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY

Between contracts and having cleaned out a string of casinos to the tune of several million dollars, it's safe to say that Domino will not retire to a life of fancy feast dinners any time soon.

WALKING ARMORY
A low-level version of reality manipulation that Domino activates by action or attention to a specific circumstance; it manifests itself as incredible luck.

She can also gain an immediate sense of the odds of a situation's outcome, something that has benefitted the mercenary teams she has worked for in the past (so long as the team leader actually LISTENED to her advice).
Domino usually has at least one gun on her at all times, but usually, far more than that, carrying several rounds of ammunition, multiple side-arms, scopes, silencers and other concealed weapons, and that's just when she's out picking up the week's groceries. During planned missions, she's usually packing bigger munitions, up to and including explosives, high-powered rifles, energy weapons or even the odd RPG launcher.

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.

While Domino can take some steps to conceal her mutant status, she's hard to miss when you get a good look at her. There just aren't that many women with snow-white skin and a big black oval over their left eye in the world. In mercenary circles, her reputation precedes her.
<br>
 
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 remarkable 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.<br><br>
RISK-TAKING BEHAVIORS
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Languages:'''</span>
Domino enjoys throwing herself into the thick of danger a little *too* much. She relies heavily on her mutant abilities to get herself out of a jam, especially when plans break down, and this overconfidence has nearly gotten her killed on multiple occasions. Even cats only have nine lives. It's difficult to say if Domino is just overconfident or harboring a unspoken death wish.
<br>
She's also fluent in German, Russian and Italian, and knows a bit of several others.

Unpacking Domino's fixation on high-risk activity would take a team of psychologists and at least two physicists. She enjoys throwing herself into the thick of danger a little *too* much. 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. This over-confidence has nearly gotten her killed on multiple occasions, but that which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right? It's difficult to say if Domino is just overconfident or harboring a unspoken death wish.

Profile

Need some help from Lady Luck? Domino's probably more available. Few know her past beyond her time in the Six Pack, a group of mercenaries lead by the mutant Cable. Since their dispersal, she's drifted from place to place, sometimes working with groups like the X-Men, or SHIELD, sometimes working alone. With the mutant ability to alter events in her fate - good luck on command - she's a valuable asset to any team ... if she could ever stay in one place for long. Following her own moral code, Domino has "modified" deals mid-mission, making allies and enemies on every side. Only time will tell how long her luck will hold out.
