New OC: Domino (Redux #2)

Name: Domino

Age: Unknown/ Estimated: 7 Terran Time (7 Earth Yrs)

Appearance: 7 ft Tall, Medium build, Body is composed of metal plates that act as a natural armor (but allow for him to wear apparel, which is mostly more armor), Head has no distinguishable features, no nose, ears, mouth, except for two glowing blue crystals that act as eyes.

Ethnicity: Skin Color: Steel Matte Grey

Race: Unknown/Prototype

Allegiance: Neutral

Origins: Alien Race/EVO Hybrid

Powers:

Spartan Stance: Domino reinforces the natural-armor with nanites, tucks in, locks all his metal plates, and lessens incoming damage, but negates mobility.
Level: Low

Oculus Scope: Domino restricts movement to a minimum, focusing on condensing nanites into his eyes, which greatly enhances visibility and reaction time, while firing a series of percise shots at the enemy's vital points.
Level: Damage Medium

Last Stand: When put into a life-threatening situation, Domino will enter a Psychopathic state, body becoming much more nimble and quicker, and severely damaging enemies in the area.
Because of his berserker style, Domino is severely hurt after his outburst.
Level: Damage High

Strengths:
Since Domino is unable to talk, his height, appearance, and silence present Domino's initial intimidating aura which causes *most* trouble to avoid him.
Weapon Mastery: Domino can operate all guns exceptionally, fight hand-to-hand, and has experience with small blades.
Tactitian Proficiency: Domino is profficient in studying enemy tatics and battle planning.
Physical Strengths:
Thick Skin: Because of Domino's metal plates, he is extra amored which doubles as an offensive when fighting unarmed.
Vision: Domino also can see through two different spectrums: light and thermal.

Weaknesses:
Trust: A double-edged sword, Domino will trust ANYONE, and ANYTHING, even if he doesn't know them. He tends to be more hesitant around enemies, but still might trust them anyways. Because of this issue, Domino will fall for the most simple-minded and saddest tricks and situations, which often throw him into bizarre and sometimes dangerus circumstances.
Physical Weaknesses:
Finicky Armor: Domino can't stand extreme temperatures, hot or cold, as it weakens his natural armor.
Slow and Steady: Because of his body composition and density, Domino can't sustain long amounts of continuous energy (Example: Running Short Burst/Climbing/Traveling Long Distances Quickly), as it would impair his ability to fight efficiently.

Personality:  Domino is kind, trusting, thoughtful, curious, happy (unless you manage to REALLY tick him off), and likes collecting odd little trinkets. He also refrains from killing other beings if possible (except Fuses. He doesn't like Fuses after they ate Blinky, his pet toy gold fish). Once in battle, Domino's mind becomes more calculated and mature. Whenever he enters his Last Stand Phase, Domino does not display any emotions what so ever, and will fight for his or his friends' survival by any means necessary. While not wanting to kill in his normal state (both when not fighting and regular fighting), when in his Last Stand Mode Domino will only stop if the threat is removed: either dead or fled. When the threat against his or his friends' life is removed, he then reverts to his normal demeanor. Domino is also willing to die for his friends if he knew it would help them survive, and would do anything within his power to protect them. As he is devoid of the power of speech (since he has no mouth), Domino converses by excesive shrugging and geustures (though his friends can interpert him flawlessly). Almost childlike in nature, he finds that actions speak louder than words, and a person's character can be identified through his actions. Domino's idea to get to Fuse, revolves around helping both heroes and villans alike in order to reach the big, bad boss. As long as the assigned missions don't look devious, Domino does as many as he can for both sides. But in the end, Doimino believes that he should help as many people as possible before he dies.
P.S. Whenever lost, he will ALWAYS be found staring at things that spin round.

History: During the time of rampant EVO's, an alien corporation was able to collect samples of the structure of various EVOs, and, in a privately funded project, spliced together an EVO and an unresponsive alien species, which resulted in the creation of the Infinity Soldier, a breed  that can be programmed for duty, yet react and reason intelligently. In addition to having no will of its' own, the key quality of the Infinity Soldier was that when destroyed, it would return to its' point of origin and reconstruct itself (Domino DOES NOT POSSESS THIS QUALITY). Shortly after the projects success, a guilt-driven scientist destroyed the lab and took the project with him. Determined that the project be used for good, the scientist reprogrammed the Infinity Soldier to be a being devoted to helping those in need of help. The scientist then fled to the deepest regions of space, while the Infinity Soldier went off to a place it knew where it could provide help to people with non-devious plans: a space diner. And there it began its' new purpose. Throughout the years (all seven), it assisted hundreds of beings (if their quests were non-diabolicle), until the last being came in, wounded and dying, and, with its' last breath, begged for the Infinity Soldier to go off on the biggest adventure it could find, and live the life that it couldn't. As soon as it made its' request, the Infinity Soldier changed its personality to Domino: a thing in search of the greatest adventure anyone could find. Not remembering its' complictaed past, Domino flew off to find this adventure of adventures and ended up stumbling across the war, and immediately went off to fight Fuse and his minions. After deciding to crash a Fusion party (literally. With his ship), he was discovered, unconscious, by Coop, Kiva, and Jamie, who were investigating the crash site. After waking, Domino failed to communicate with Coop and Jamie (who thought he was just some sort of defunct robot), but he was able to interact with Kiva, who filled him in on what had happened so far, while he informed her that he wanted to go fight Fuse, "mano y mano".  While skeptical of Domino's understanding of what they were up against, he was told by Kiva that the best way to get to Fuse, was helping the defenders of Earth. Realizing that he had to work with others, Domino concluded that he should try to help EVERY defender, so as to speed up the process of his fight with Fuse. He established a post in Goat's Junkyard, and (for now) does various jobs and errands for the crew at the Junkyard. When not helping anybody, or collecting random objects and knickknacks, Domino spends his spare time thinking of ways to take out Fuse.

Do you use nanos?: Nope.

This is Domino:

If ANYTHING is wrong, please let me know. Thanks -_-

All strengths and weaknesses would fall under one thing. Trust can't be used in both. It can be used in a weakness since it proves it can be used against him. You need 3 minimum of each type.

Alrighty, thanks, and fixed.

Powers: When under extreme pressure, Domino will go into a fight frenzy.
Last Stand: When the parties total health is lower than half of the total, Domino will go into a desperate attack mode, damaging every enemy in the area. Because of his reckless style, Domino will lose half of his current life points. (This includes if Domino is alone in the party)
Level: High

It's not a game, this is real life. Just translate it to real life terms and it's fine.

Thanks and corrected.

Is it clear?

maybe expand on the history a tiny bit more.

Was there anything worth making note of once he landed on Earth? He crashes into this Fusion Party with his ship. Someone would have to want to figure out what was up with that and find out more about what him once they figured out he was the one that crashed into the fusions, for example.

Also, you do realize that EVOs are Evos cuz of nanites and not due to genetics or anything right.

The idea is that using certain the incurable EVO strand, which imbed within living things, can be manipulated (and to a certain extent, controlled) when combined with a sluggish, almost insentient, alien species in a controlled enviroment. This experiment (which is the Infinity Soldier/Domino) would result as a controllable, mindless, soldier, who can still operate at a animal level (reflexes, logical thinking, and learning). The most important feature about this project, however, was that the nanites imbeded into the soldier, would allow for him to reform at his chosen point (thus, the Infinity Soldier). The reason DOMINO can't do this, is because once he dies, he will cease to be Domino, and will return, back to the diner (which is his chosen point) and resume, as the Infinity Soldier (who's purpose is to HELP people, while Domino is simply on Earth to have an adventure).

There is no incurable EVO Strand for one. It's just that Rex can't do anything about those cuz of nanite programming and what not. Plus from the rp perspective, the ninite event happened about 7 years ago or so. Why would aliens, who are far more advanced, but interested in human tech like this? They could create something far more superior.

Also, I have to ask, is this oc based on anything, Marvel characters, DC characters, etc.

First two points taken (have to rethink those...) but I did create this character.
Though NOW thinking about it there are tons of influences I could point out (Iron Giant, Groot, Chappie, WALL-E, ...Kenny)
BUT I did create this character (and back story) from my own idea.

Okay... how about this: Aliens temporarily stop by earth several years ago, see the potential of having some dim-witted disposable soldier for profit, and take some with them. Taking an inanimate alien specimen, and mutating the nanites to become incurable, they make the Infinity Soldier, something not seen by any other orginization/planet/government as it was resigned to earth and this alien corporation was the first to exploit it for the rest of the galaxy (think like Droids from Star Wars: cheap, disposable, easy to control). And, as this is a project/prototype, it would have been in its developing stages when the scientist freed it.

I like it well enough. Gives me Robocop vibes. Imma approve.

Thanks Kyra, moved around some of the text and fixed the origin/history portion.
The only reason I wanted to put the only power he has as a High level, was because Domino has to meet a prerequisite in order to use it: he either has to be in a "I'm going to die" mentality, or he has to witness one of his friends in the process of dying.
That's why I simply listed the requirement as an "extreme life-threatening situation".
And as a penalty for his rampage, he is severely injured (as in he's not moving for a little while).
So while it is at a High level I wanted the circumstances to balance it out.

Added two more powers: Spartan Stance and Oculus Scope

*stamps tentative approval on forehead*

I will also approve.

Approvals gratefully accepted.
