Background: Domino used to be a highly regarded inventor and engineer with combining technology and magic when he used to be fully human. He and his father sought to further advance mankind by finding the secret to absolute perfection, and they nearly succeeded. Domino came face-to-face with God and made demands to be on at an equal level with Him. When Domino was refused, he cut himself off from God and began to disappear. His father vanished, but before Domino completely lost his body, he found that he could sustain his existence by consuming the existence of others. Since then, Domino became a notorious serial killer who'd rather compromise his humanity than allow himself to die.

Personality: Domino carries a sense of superiority when it comes to intellect and can be quite arrogant about it. Even though he has to kill for his survival, he is not a psychopath, but he hides behind the guise of one to cover up his guilty and selfish nature. He takes no pleasure in death and does his best to make his kills as swift and painless as possible. Domino prefers working independently rather than on a team, but when he does have to work with others, he's most comfortable in a leadership position. This results in some friction between him and his teammates in Team Ball-So-Hard, where he is subordinate to a teenager that lacks the experience and intelligence that he has. He has doubts about his artist being his maker, but he is unsure if he should seek to disprove that she is his creator, or blame her as the cause for his unfortunate state. Whichever it is, he doesn't want to risk becoming nonexistent by letting her die. Disappearing into nothing is his greatest fear, so he will begrudgingly defend his artist.

Powers: Domino can absorb souls, but he only prefers magical souls. Non-magical souls don't regenerate his body and only leave a bad taste in his mouth. He can craft all sorts of weapons and tools with his magic, but only at the cost of losing parts of his body.

Strengths: Domino is a great escape artist and a smooth talker who thinks quick on his feet. He can be quite innovative with what's around around him, even if he's left with only a couple scraps for material. He's very confident in himself and his abilities, though this can sometimes become a weakness when he becomes too cocky and reckless for his own good.

Weaknesses: Though his magic is moderately strong, it quickly drains his energy reserves and takes too much precious time and precision for him to cast, so he does not heavily rely on it in battle. However, Domino has a bad habit of wasting his magic outside of fights and will impulsively use it whenever he comes up with an idea or wishes to amuse himself. His body is very fragile and will dissipate under hard or direct attacks, which is why he prefers long range strikes or hit-and-run guerrilla tactics.
