+ Strengths
⚜ Like any other vampire, Dominic possesses a physical ability that surpasses humankind, and his physical strength is something misleading by appearance. Without the hindrances of a mortal body, he moves at a speed that is quicker than human eye can percieve as his muscles fire faster.
⚜ His body is also far more durable after the change, including how he handles impacts and general pain tolerance. Extreme heat and cold within a certain threshold is not a bother. It takes something immense to break bones or cause injury
⚜ Enhanced senses give him an acute radius of what is around him, including sight, hearing, and vision. He can trace a heartbeat for nearly a mile if the conditions are right, and doesn't forget a scent once he has crossed a person. He was once hypersensitive to all of this, but with age he has learned to hone in and filter his senses for less distraction.
⚜ In the chance that he is injured, he heals at a quicker rate that is dependant on the last time he has fed. Healing also takes more energy and leaves him hungrier quicker as a result. He runs the risk of growing adgitated and increasingly dangerous depending on this.
- Weaknesses
⚜ Sunlight serves as a harsh irritant. He finds himself out in broad daylight only on rare occasions, no longer than an hour span of time, and not without consequences. It is common to find the man with a hood over his head, hands in his pockets in order to prolong this time and reduce the side effects. Overcast days are tolerable but not comfortable.
⚜ Blood from a source that is deceased may lead to sickness if it enters his system. Animal blood by nature works in a similar fashion due to the biological differences to that of human, yet the effect is minimal enough to be tolerated. Other circumstances vary by source, where some bloodlines can be priceless.
⚜ Silver in its purest form can serve as fatal. Although he carries items of such material in Paradox, he is overly avoidant to being the one to handle them. The jewelry he is often accustomed to wearing is white gold or platinum.
Let's not forget the legends,
⚜ Dominic feels no weakness from garlic besides the scent being overpowering (Frankly it's rude to go waving it in anyone's face).
⚜ Holy water and crucifixes are irritating in principle, but do no physical harm.
⚜ He shows up in reflections and photography, but not if he can help it. It's gotten harder in the digital age to avoid leaving a trace.
⚜ He can be killed with a stake or any other blunt object through the heart, but you'd best aim your shot properly. You won't likely get another one.
Hunting
⚜ Dominic waits no longer than three days between feeding and grows exponentially more dangerous from there on afterwards. There is still an underlying instability that comes with his age and 'upbringing', one that has him often questioning his sanity towards moving to the city.
⚜ While he prefers human blood over attempting a more 'vegetarian' route, he takes little pride in the concept of hunting out strangers after dark. Leaving it to the last resort, his first and foremost goal since establishing Paradox has been finding more... consensual methods to feed.
⚜ For the higher dollar items he has to offer within the shop, payment may come not only in the form of currency - but in ounces. Prices vary on the buyer, where certain supernaturals' blood can be worth gold in comparison to others. He strives for it to become a sustainable system.
⚜ He is still quite prone to relapses when he isn't staying focused on his needs, or when a wrench is thrown into his schedule. These relapses haven't come without consequences.
