" Life is one long struggle

    in the dark."

 It was a long, long night. When it had ended, he found himself rousing from a horrid sensation. His muscles, his veins, his very being, simultaneously screaming out to the transmutation that was occurring... yet upon conclusion, he felt none. A man lost his life that night. He fell into a deeper, darker abyss than he could have ever thought in romanticizing death among the living. He could have never expected what would come next for him. He could not possibly fathom his fate from then on. It mattered not what he could perceive. It hardly mattered whether he had a desire to wake up or not. He did.

Dominic's life both started and ended in England. The earlier parts of his 'newfound' life were spent there as well, initially in the care of a small coven that populated the outskirts of a town in the  Northern region. It was a time of recklessness and little control, inevitably laced with bloodshed just as any newborn would encounter. These years were spent with the aid of a mentor, to whom he owes most of his self-restraint and control. Three and a half centuries would pass before he eventually left the group for his own reasons. Those times are still begrudgingly close behind him within his history. Although he evades giving a physical number, Dominic's age resides somewhere just over five hundred years.   

" So tell me, my dear... 

why do we migrate to this city?

What makes the mosquito population, 

as you call it, so high? " 

 A city of 8.5 million, and yet, the statistic stops short as it consists only of the human population that fills its streets and skyscrapers. A hub for the supernatural, the number is far exceeded by the hybrids and immortals that roam it likewise.  

  New York City became an eventual home when the early years of hunger and inevitable savage hunting had declined for Dominic. The number of relapses in his control had settled to a number sustainable in such a highly populated place, just as long as he held utmost diligence toward maintaining it. Thirty-some years now he has resided in the city, yet it has hardly come without mishaps. The struggle to keep a low profile proves to be an ongoing one. The city, despite being a triggering place from its population, holds far more resources.
The world is hardy as archaic as it had once been. Vampirekind is not left to simply hunt in the alleys come dark. Nightclubs may not simply be nightclubs. Businesses may not house what their storefronts show. City factions are hardly so black and white. 'Prey' may not be prey at all.

Par· a· dox

Latin | "Paradoxum"

"a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth."

It was a mere two months after Paradox's doors opened that Dominic first stepped foot inside. At the time, it had been nothing more than the record shop presence it takes on from the front. He came in not for the pursuit of music. Instead, he was fully aware of the blood mage's reputation since settling herself into the city. Following his careful research of the woman who owned the small store in the Upper West Side, the vampire walked into the record shop in order to strike a deal. He offered up some much needed financial assistance in a time where owner, Dahlia could just barely keep her doors open. In return, she accepted the use of the record shop to sell objects of supernatural specialty 'under the counter'. Bottom line, the shop also serves as a far more peaceful route for feeding, helping towards his ultimate
goal of coexisting.

x1 | Agnes  "Chiot" |

Dominic is no stranger to relationships and their consequences. Past instances have left him timid and reluctant to commit, but being the romantic-at-heart he is, there is no going back once he has.


With that being said, Dominic wasn't searching when Agnes made her acquaintance in Paradox, but she has been at the very front of his attention ever since. To the vampire, Agnes has always been a soft spot. The more he learned about the demoness, the closer he wanted to be, even with the history and misfortune that she carries within herself from her past. 

Despite his hesitations and fears about committing and what could go wrong, he is admittedly head over heels. Due to complications with his Coven recently coming to light, his personal circumstances have become... complicated. Only time will tell.
