History
Life was not easy, nor was it terribly hard, for Dominic growing up. It was just himself and his mother for as long as he could remember (apparently his father had left when he was 3). As he grew up he developed a strong respect for his mother and he also grew quite protective.
At one point when Dominic was 16 his mother had a boyfriend that was not the nicest man in the world. In fact, he was one of the few people in the world that Dominic just couldn’t accept. The man was, cold, harsh, and abusive. He’d been living with Dominic and his mother for nearly three months when Dominic came home from school just as his mother was knocked to the floor unconscious. The one and only time that Dominic has flown into a rage was the day he paralyzed his mother’s boyfriend by running at him and knocking him over the coffee table. After that, Dominic started lifting weights and training his body to fight.
By the time he was 21, Dominic was considered quite the catch by many women and so when on his 21st birthday a woman asked him to dance, Dominic wasn’t too terribly surprised. It wasn’t that he was vain or cocky, just that he was used to the attention from the female half of the species.
By the time it was closing time at the bar, Dominic and the woman he’d been dancing with all night were more than ready to go home. Sometime during their sleepover she bit him, changing his life forever. The next night, she claimed it was because she never wanted to lose him, he was too wonderful to let slip through her fingers. Dominic sent her packing immediately.
The woman had been a Vampire. A rogue member of the Keahi bloodline and when she bit him, she not only transmitted to him a new life, but new powers as well. It took Dominic quite a while to master his new affinity with Fire but he eventually got it under control.
Dominic was a Vampire 5 years before his life would change yet again, again involving a woman, but this time at a drive in theatre. Saiyuri was like a breath of fresh air to the lonely Vampire. She brightened his moods, made him laugh again, and somehow coaxed his sense of humor back into being. Six months after their first encounter the two were married (despite neither of them being human, Dominic’s mother insisted on a ‘good and proper’ wedding). Shortly after getting married, they found out that they were expecting a daughter.
Around the time of his daughter’s birth Dominic’s life changed dramatically again. He was suddenly surrounded by his wife’s unknown and ridiculously overwhelming family, Saiyuri herself went into a coma immediately after Lani’s birth, and he suddenly didn’t know what to do so he ran. He was gone for 4 months before returning to find a new man in Saiyuri’s life and his daughter calling that man “Papa”. The day he returned, Saiyuri asked him for a divorce and that night Dominic met Lysander.
At first L hated what Dominic had done to Saiyuri, leaving her alone at such a trying time, but eventually the older vampire let those feelings slide and decided that he instead wanted to pursue Dominic. It took quite a while before Dominic even thought of L as anything more than a drinking buddy, and eventually good friend.
They have been together as a couple for quite a few years now, with a 5 year break when L left Dominic. Over the years L and Dominic have helped raise Lani, have raised Cade (L’s son from during their break), and are now raising Ruri (L’s daughter by Saiyuri via IVF). Larkin, Dominic’s oldest child (by the woman who turned him), showed up on their doorstep when he was 19 and has been a fixture in their lives ever since as well.
