Dominic

“''No, fuck you, fuck you and your mysterious, brooding bullshit, this is the real world, that stupid-that stupid bullshit hurts people, real, living, breathing people with more heart and soul than you’ll ever know, in any damn lifetime. All those bullshit white people think that pessimistic, existentialist crap makes them enlightened, but the truly fucking enlightened people are the ones who know this world is fucking bullshit but enjoy themselves anyway. You don’t need some fucking purpose, you don’t need a grand reason for being alive. It takes a fucking grown up to make the best out of a shit world and still be smiling at the end of the day, even if it’s through tears. You think your pathetic backstory excuses you, whatever it is? She was fucking buried alive by someone she loved, but she still chose to love other people, to be as close to a good person as you can be down here, and not shut down, like you. That makes her stronger than you or anyone else down here, I don’t give a fuck what you, Branson, or the other Haints say. She was more than a fucking number, and for that, she’s better than any number down here.''”

— Dominic to Ten in Chapter 13: Ears (Roman’s Numeral)

Dominic is a Revenant in the Mausoleum. He is a friend of Seven and Rodell.

Background
Dominic lived where there were islands, white sands, and beaches. Dominic had a mother and sister.undefined

Dominic went through long periods of time without eating, as well as running around.undefined

Appearance
Dominic is described to have a youthful, dark handsome face. His dark hair is matted and unwashed, and his black mustache and thin beard are groomed.undefined

Personality
Dominic is a sarcastic and humorous person.undefined Dominic is friendly as seen when he visited Roman to keep him company.undefined

Dominic is shown to worry about his friends to the point where he will invade their space, such as when he was very close to Seven’s bed in the hospice. According to Seven, he was staring at her with “more focus than she’s ever seen him stare at anything.” He’s also shown to become flustered when he catches himself shouting and appearing worried, as shown with Seven.undefined

When dealing with grief, Dominic is shown to be angry and, according to Roman, not wanting to understand the situation.undefined Dominic holds a grudge and is spiteful and lashing towards the person he deems to be at fault. Though, Dominic does hate his rage and how his voice sounds when he is angry.undefined

Dominic believes that the truly enlightened people are the ones who know the world is “bullshit,” but they “enjoy themselves anyway.” He does not believe you need a purpose or a grand reason for living. He also believes that it takes a grownup to “make the best out of a shit world and still be smiling at the end of the day, even if it’s through tears.”undefined

Dominic likes Roman because he finds it hard to dislike someone “who can’t bark, who can’t bite, who can’t give it, but can take it just fine.” He believes Roman’s a good person, but can be insensitive at times.undefined

Dominic has strong feelings towards Seven. He loves her laugh and appreciates the sound, despite thinking that it’s the “nastiest thing” he’s ever heard. When Dominic was pressuring Ten into letting him hearing Seven’s laughter, he reveals that it’s a selfish want and that it’s all he needs “for the rest of this wretched, pathetic existence.” He does not mind being laughed at by Seven. Dominic also believed that he and Seven were “so alike that he knew her thoughts, and she knew his.”undefined He also has an incredible amount of respect for Seven, saying that she was a good person and stronger than Ten and everyone else.

While Dominic does have strong negative feelings towards Ten, he claims that Ten “radiates pure sadness,” which makes him angry because he does not want to feel sympathy for Ten.undefined

The knife produced eventually liquefies and vanishes.undefined

 * (To Ten) “It was like she was inhaling too hard and she was gonna spit snot. It was probably the nastiest thing I ever heard, but it was fucking awesome. I loved that stupid fucking laugh.
