Base of Operations: Abandoned sentinel base in Adirondack Mountains
Past Group Affiliations: Wild Pack, X-Force
Known Powers:
Domino doesn’t admit to having any powers, but her luck is proverbial—those who have known her have found that things just seem to fall into place for her.
Probability Control: Domino seems to be able to manipulate probability to her advantage. Any percentile roll made by the player running Domino is always read as the high die first (a roll of “3” and “8” would be a roll of 83).
Equipment:
Through her own and Cable’s contacts with weapon suppliers such as Advanced Idea Mechanics, Domino has access to state-of-the-art military weapons.
Rifle: Domino often carries an advanced assault rifle of A.I.M. manufacture. A typical weapon has a range of 7 areas and inflicts Good shooting damage when single shots are fired or +1cs damage when a 3-round burst is fired or +2cs when a 10-round burst is fired. A clip holds 50 shots.
Lasso: Domino carries a Good material strength lasso which she can use to entangle a single target at a range of 1 area.
Throwing Blades: Domino carries a selection of throwing blades which she can hurl with a range of 1 area, inflicting Excellent Edged Weapon damage.
Talents:
Despite her youthful appearance, Domino is a veteran mercenary soldier with fifteen years’ experience. Her many talents include Guns, Weapon Master, Marksman, Martial Arts A and B, Thrown Weapons, Acrobatics, Military, Computers, and Pilot; other abilities may be revealed as more of her enigmatic background comes to light.
Contacts:
Domino was a former member of Cable’s Wild Pack mercenary unit. Her life as a soldier of fortune has given her contacts with groups such as Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.l.M.) and the U.S. military.
Role-Playing Notes:
Although her manner is mischievous and she loves to crack jokes in the midst of deadly battle, Domino is one woman who never loses her wits, cool, or temper. She is the self-proclaimed mother figure of X-Force, always looking out for the mental and physical well-being of every member, not excepting Cable. She occasionally dismisses this as “babysitting,” but it is apparent she cares for her younger charges.
Sometimes serious, often bantering, Domino is capable of sarcasm, harshness, or deception when she believes it necessary, but inside she has a strong conscience and sense of right and wrong. Domino has a warm, intimate relationship with Cable, X-Force’s leader, and is the only one in whom he will fully confide. Although never judgmental, she is a good person to go to for advice or support, and is certainly the most stable and well-adjusted member of X-Force.
Domino’s ivory skin suggests she may be a natural albino (though if so, her black hair must be dyed, since albinos have white hair as well). Contrasting with her white face, she wears black makeup around her left eye, a look Feral and Boom Boom have derisively referred to as “Petey the Dog.”
Domino cultivates a deliberate air of mystery, rarely if ever talking about herself or her past. There is a sense about her that she is only pausing briefly with X-Force on the road to somewhere else, and might vanish at any moment as suddenly and mysteriously as she arrived. Apart from her obvious liking for Cable and love of adventure, Domino’s true motives and desires remain enigmatic.
History:
The early life of Domino remains clouded. Fifteen years ago, she joined Wild Pack, a mercenary force led by the time-traveler Cable. She served in undercover wars such as the deadly rivalry between A.I.M. and HYDRA, and in Cable’s estimation proved the most able member of Wild Pack. Eventually she outgrew the mercenary life and left Cable behind to follow her own path. Where it took her has yet to be revealed, but fifteen years later, a few months after Cable took up the job of mentor for the New Mutants, Domino returned to join him, arriving just in time to defeat the assassin Deadpool.
As the New Mutants began their transition into X-Force, the younger members of the team noticed that with Domino around, Cable had become much less grim and closemouthed, in fact, he sometimes even smiled! Domino easily slipped into the role of Cable’s deputy, devil’s advocate, and private confidant. She has fought with X-Force against numerous enemies ever since.
Recently, it was revealed that X-Force’s Domino is an imposter, though the team has not yet discovered this. This Domino is actually named Vanessa and is infiltrating Domino’s position in X-Force for Mr. Tolliver; Vanessa has had a relationship with Deadpool, but her loyalties are shifting more toward Cable and his young charges despite Tolliver’s and Deadpool’s warnings. The real Domino has been a prisoner of Mr. Tolliver for over a year in a secluded Austrian base.
