Dominic

Dominic is a daimon spectropath from Oruva, specifically a Visceral Hunter. He is a mercenary for hire in Aerestra and leads his own party.

Backstory
Dominic is the child of two Death's Head Kin spectropaths from Laeland and Oruva respectively, Odette (a human) and Kaliel (a drake). Because spectropaths rarely are able to have children, he was considered a blessing to the devotion. He was born with a godshade in his soul, which prompted his parents to raise him as a spectropath. He never had to sacrifice anything because of this unusual circumstance, which caused some to resent him.

His parents disappeared when he was young, and from then on their good friend and student Efrayne became his mentor. Efrayne's formerly affectionate behavior turned cold and distant as the years passed, and Dominic started to bear a grudge against him, believing him to hate Dominic because of the burden of raising him and not dying instead of his parents.

After a heated argument between the mentor and novice when he was 20, Dominic left home without telling Efrayne and traveled to the Queltibran Peninsula, where he met Konrad von Steyr and joined the Visceral Hunters in Nedevara.

Looking for work because of a lack of Fair Folk in the area, he started taking on normal mercenary jobs around the Opal Sea as an enlisted mercenary in Aerestra.

His willingness to help the most desperate of employers in unlucky situations, as well as his skill in monster-slaying, quickly drew attention to him. His acclaim rose even further with his completion of a job for the Aerestran noblewoman Doña Guiomar Solos, who turned out to be a malevolent witch keeping a kindred prisoner in the Catacombs of Aerestra. He helped authorities convict her and attempted to free the kindred, whose name was Radimir. He was unsuccessful in the latter, but the oddity of his latest mission drew others to offer their aid, namely the human mage Wyrah and her friend Ragnalla.

They undertook several more jobs, and his retinue began to slowly increase in size.

Personality
Dominic is mild, caring, and even-tempered, although he is somewhat needy. He hates being ignored by his friends when he wants attention and can lash out if it happens too often. He is reluctant to accept blame for the problems he causes, believing strongly in his own narrative as a self-proclaimed hero. He also has a tendency to posture in large groups of people to appeal to what they find interesting in him.

He is dedicated to his adopted home city of Aerestra.

Relationships
Dominic is at least vaguely friendly with most of his party members, and cares deeply about their success and safety.
 * Radimir - He finds Radimir's fawning behavior towards him alone highly embarrassing and annoying, but wants to find a cure for his curse out of compassion and respect for a powerful divine being kept enslaved by an evil mistress.
 * Wyrah - Dominic finds her single-mindedness and almost nonchalant tendency to always do the right thing inspiring and endearing. He also finds her the most relatable member of the group, and they have become very close friends in a short amount of time. He is accepting and patient with her silent nature.
 * Efrayne - He tolerates Efrayne's presence in his retinue, but has a frosty attitude towards him for the years of neglect inflicted on him.
