Domino Vicks

Name: Domino Vicks

Gender: Female

District: 8

Age: 16

Weapons: Throwing Star, Sickle.

Strengths: Domino isn't exactly fast, but she's VERY quick. She's nimble on her toes, and very coordinated from years of ballet. Because of this, it makes it very hard to beat her in a fight because of her ability to dodge and weave so gracefully. Domino's abilities with the throwing stars are subtle, and she's not deadly accurate, but she has experience and knows how to hit her target. Her main weapon is a Sickle, and she's capable of doing damage when she gets her hands on one.

Weaknesses: Due to her size, it would be very easy for a larger tribute to overpower her. She's been in fights where a slightly larger girl has even picked her up and thrown her against the wall. Being from The Capitol originally, she's not used to surviving outdoors at ALL. So her abilities to survive on her own would be challenging, Domino also has a hard time of killing. Not that she can't or won't, but it would have a lasting impact on her.

Fears: Domino is terrified of being alone, and has a fear of dying with no one around.

Appearance: Domino is very petite, standing at a mere 5'1. She only weighs 95 pounds, but she doesn't look skinny because her weight goes well with her height. She's very toned, and has beautiful green eyes that calm anyone who looks at them. Her blonde hair stops at her shoulders, and parts at the middle.

Personality: Domino is known as the nicest girl you'll ever meet. She has this unexplainable quality to make everyone feel like a million bucks after you talk to her. And it's not disingenuous either, she truly is just that nice and that positive of a person. She'll never make fun of someone, and it's very hard to pick a fight with her. That being said she's also very intelligent, and can usually solve problems with a few minutes of brainstorming.

Backstory: Domino is originally from the Capitol, where she was a ballet dancer. But despite her major interest in ballet, her parents pushed her to enlist in the Career academy. She always wanted to please them, but she couldn't deny that volunteering and willingly going into the hunger games wasn't exactly her idea of "fun". She didn't want to kill people, she wanted to dance! And she spent a majority of her younger days training, wishing she was elsewhere. She was the only one of her siblings who didn't seem to have the typical Capitol citizen mindset. Her older brother, Demetri, volunteered for the games when she was 12 and got so close to winning but ultimately died on day 5 to another Career.

Seeing her older brother die, it convinced her to confront her parents about focusing on ballet, and that the Games just weren't for her. Upon hearing this, her parents were outraged, and even threatened to throw her out of the house unless she dropped this "dancing" nonsense. Domino would spend the next 6 months training, and as punishment her Dad even hit her several times when she tried to get out of it. At this point, Domino was being abused, and she wasn't even close to happy with her life.

So she decided she needed to change her life for the better, and run away. She packed her bags while her parents slept, and ran out of the house for a new life outside of the Capitol. She spent weeks suffering through sleepless nights as she traveled Panem in hiding, and even made a very close friend, Penelope.

By the time they got to district 8, she found her parents had sent a search party. Posters everywhere, with her head wanted ALIVE for a VERY large reward. She'd spend the next week hiding in the outskirts of the district, doing whatever she could to not be found. One day, when she was scavenging for food, she saw a familiar face....her father. He had traveled all this way to drag her all the way back home. Upon seeing her, he smacked her across the face and called her a "spoiled brat".

She ran away from him, but he caught up with her and threw her over his shoulder and started walking to the train to head back to the Capitol. Not knowing what else to do, she kicked him in the face and fell a few yards away. Her father's raged eyes were trying to pierce her soul, and he broke off in a sprint at her. She pulled a throwing star out of her jacket, and sent it flying into his neck.

With years of pain and anger, she ran up to him and pulled the blade out, before shoving it back into his neck for a second time. At this point peacekeepers dragged her away.

It was reaping morning, and she was dragged up to the stage to be executed in front of the whole district. With the gun pointed at the back of her head, she screamed "I VOLUNTEER!".

Which to the shock of many, allowed her to go into the games, and avoid a certain death.

Training Strategy: Find some people she likes, and sharpen her Sickle skills.

Bloodbath Strategy: Get her weapons, get her allies, take off.

Games Strategy: Stick with her alliance for as long as she possibly can, not initiating the group splitting up.
