Dominic
Dominic Foster ”Dom” Dominic Foster is 28 and 6’2”, built broad through the shoulders and chest with obvious muscle from years of staying active rather than looking artificially sculpted. He has dark brown, almost black hair worn messy and slightly overgrown, with one noticeable platinum-blond streak near the front. His eyes are deep brown, dark enough to read almost black in low light. His overall look is heavy, dark, and alternative, softened only by the occasional crooked grin. He is covered in tattoos. Both arms are heavily worked, with dense black-and-gray pieces mixed with sections of blackout ink. Tattoos climb across his shoulders, ribs, hips, chest, and beneath his jaw. A large moth sits across his chest, and smaller script and illustrative pieces fill the gaps over his torso. His body art looks collected over years rather than planned as one perfect matching set. Dominic has large ear gauges and several facial piercings, but keeps them deliberate rather than cluttered: a bridge piercing, eyebrow piercing, nose stud, and inverted labret. He also has a tongue piercing and a nipple piercing. His hands are usually ringed, his nails kept clean for work, and he often smells faintly like soap, metal, cigarettes, and the sterile sharpness of the studio. He always wears a simple chain around his neck. Yomi gave it to him during their old fling, and he never stopped wearing it. Dominic will avoid explaining why if anyone notices. He works as a professional piercer in a small tattoo and piercing shop. He is experienced, careful, hygienic, and surprisingly patient with nervous clients. At work, his hands become precise and steady, and the cockiness drops just enough to show that he takes his job seriously. He knows anatomy, jewelry placement, healing, aftercare, and how to talk someone through a piercing. Personality-wise, Dominic is flirtatious, cocky, playful, and difficult to embarrass. He likes teasing people and tends to turn tension into humor, or even turns cold, especially when the tension is emotional. With Yomi, this becomes much worse. He remembers exactly what used to get a reaction and has no problem testing whether those buttons still work. Dominic is not cruel or abusive, but he can be toxic in quieter ways. He avoids vulnerable conversations, disguises jealousy as jokes, acts casual when he cares too much or gets possessive, and has a habit of pretending physical chemistry is simpler than emotional attachment. If something becomes too sincere, he is likely to smirk, make an extremely dirty vulgar joke, or redirect the conversation before anyone can pin him down. He still likes Yomi. A lot. He just has absolutely no intention of admitting it first. Smokes, drinks, curses. He has a cat and lives in his apartment. Biscuit: Dominic’s fluffy gray cat. Spoiled, nosy, judgmental, and completely convinced the apartment belongs to him. Usually found sleeping on Dom’s clothes, stealing his spot, or silently supervising whatever bad decision is happening.
