Dominick Laurent

Origin
Dominick is the only offspring of Liam and Julia Laurent. Liam was beforehand a renowned biochemist, although further within his life, an idea to follow his father's path surfaced. The additional studies he inquired in fields of archeology allowed him to meet the archaeologist, Julia James. The two traveled the world mutually, for years, and through a great history and passion for their work, a romance stirred amid the two. They had a happy relationship for years to follow, although once Julia received news that she had been pregnant, she gave up her career, while Liam returned to his area of biochemistry. The pair were to be wed months following, moreover, as time passed, she had given birth to Dominick at Metro-General Hospital, which was located in New York.
They lived in a private residence along the shores of a cliff. Days to follow, after recovering, Julia decided to take up a job at the same hospital in which Dominick had been birthed. Dominick was raised in a safe, and happy environment thanks to his parents. Once he became of age, he attended a private school. While Dominick was five, he went with his father to work, at his lab. His father left him alone for a while, although he instructed him not to wander about. Dominick began to play by himself, running through the lab. Upon falling against a lab table, he knocked over several vials of substances, that caused an explosion which activated a device in the lab, causing a sharp noise that made him faint. When he awoke, he had been in the hospital. The doctors informed his father that the high radiation wave output could've harmed him seriously, killed him even, but he was fine. He was kept in the hospital for a few more hours, allowing the doctors to run tests on him. Once they found nothing had been wrong, he was released.
As Dominick aged, his father had taken travels across the world, it was a plan for him to begin his archeology trips. He convinced his father to allow him to come with him, once he was old enough. His father had provided him with several books to study until that day came. In his studies, Liam found an artifact known as the Shard, and he took several days making notes, almost as if he had been obsessed with finding the artifact. It was rumored to be a source of power from ancient times, that had been purposely lost. This was to protect it from turning up in the wrong hands. Based on his notes, the last location of the Shard had been in a temple at the Karakum Desert.
When Dominick turned fifteen, he and his father traveled to the Karakum Desert with several other archeologists. Their travel became more dangerous, as it reached nightfall, and they found the temple, finally. Dominick stepped on a path that triggered an awakening, causing the temple to shake abruptly, upon presenting the Shard, which rose from a panel in the ground. When Dominick grabbed the Shard, he felt a tinging pain soar through his body for seconds, and an image of a fiery lifeform surfaced in his mind vividly. He hadn't known what it meant. Everyone surrounded him with worrying questions, but he assured them that he was fine. His father had him keep the Shard since he had been the one who found it. He stored it safely in his bag, and after it all had been over, they found a place to shelter in for the night.
Came morning, the team had continued about their travel and happened upon the Darvaza gas crater. It was known as the "Gates to Hell". His father warned him not to get too close to it. While his father had been speaking with the other archeologists, he took out the Shard, to examine it. He wanted to know what it did to him the night before. Suddenly the ground began to crack, and it caved in under him. He dropped the Shard, as he terrifyingly fell into the Darvaza gas crater. It practically swallowed him whole, pulling him inside. Surprisingly still alive, the Shard had molded into the center of his skull, while he continued to fall through the Earth. His body had been blazing with fire as he only sank deeper into the Earth. Soon, his body had reached the center of the Earth where he felt his breath tightening, before eventually falling unconscious.
Deep in space, something, seemingly a flare fired from the Sun, being called forth by the Shard upon his forehead that glowed strikingly. The flare had urged towards Earth. The flare's flames had been under wraps, as it seemed to carry a mind and presence of its own. It shot into the Darvaza gas crater and entered the Shard in Dominick's head. He awoke, abruptly, feeling like his head had been exploding, while the rest of his body burned with intense flames. Dominick began screaming, as patterns of energy surfaced through his veins. He swiftly floated to the surface of the crater and emerged from it. Burning energy of immense heat erupted from his body, identical to that of the sun, destroying everything around him, and killing his father, and the researchers. His body had carried the apperance of a firm, impeccable glass structure, homing energy inside of him. Dominick fell to the ground afterward, unconscious. His body remained in the state it had been founded in, although the fire and energy that met him, was no longer there.
Once he had awoken, he had been in a research lab. Several scientists were surrounding him, wearing bio-hazard suits. He had been confused, and unsure of what had been happening. Dominick broke through his restraints and astonishingly pushed the scientists away with such intensity. Staring ahead through a reflection, he saw what his body had become. He became distraught, and his body progressed in and out of its fashionable design. Among several of the scientists had been his mother. With no idea of Dominick being her son, she informed him that he had been 'sick', and in a coma for five years. She told him of how they found him, and what he had done to her husband, son, and the researchers. As he thought concerning what she spoke of, his last memory resurfaced to him, and he saw clearly what he had done to his father and the other researchers. Once he drew closer to her, she hurried away and shouted for help. Several alarms began to set off in the building, and he started to lose control of his abilities, under the strong emotions that took hold of him. He unleashed flares of energy that rippled through the lab, destroying it. His mother had been one of the victims. Rushing to her side, he pleaded for her to be spared, but it had been too late. He mourned his mother's death and left her body on the ground, to escape the lab. Eventually, he learned how to control his state of structure shifting.
Dominick spent two years learning how to balance what he had become while managing a way to start a life, and career path. He lived on the streets for a couple of months until meeting an elderly woman named Iris who kindly offered him a place to stay with her. She helped Dominick get his high school diploma, and offered him a job at a homeless shelter she had worked in for several years. Eventually, Dominick had gotten into college, and it had taken him a few years, and a long time of struggles, but once Dominick graduated, he began a fashion line Laurent Centric. Within those years to come, Dominick had become a quite known famous face, as a billionaire. He became a charismatic playboy and started his own companies, a well-known club called Abadonn, or "The Gates of Hell" as well as a business organization known as Laurent Archives. He remained living in his parent's estate, although he hired several trusted guards. Iris eventually retired and moved in with Dominick. Dominick hired a trusted caretaker to watch over Iris, her name was Alice Swine. Dominick traveled across the world for months, learning different styles of martial training. He had been initiated into a secret faction in Berlin, although once they found out of the power source he had been honing, they captured him one night, and stored him in an underground prison. They figured they knew that his powers derived from the sun, but they had no true idea how wrong they had been.
When several assassins were sent in the prison to kill him, he had released a devastating spring of energy that destroyed everything within a 510-mile radius. This left him unconscious, due to having consumed no food or water in such an amount of time, it left him weak. When Dominick had woke, he was left in the care of an old Sensei, Wu Chi, who had helped him replenish his strength, and taught him a new way of survival. He was taught how to focus his chi through movements, as well as several styles of martial training. His most notable move had been how impressively high he can elevate his leg, with such lethal thrust, that he had been able to crush the throat of an invader. He had been trained with many weapons, including ranged ones. Wu Chi trained Dominick on how to control his abilities, although it had been a long struggle. He taught Dominick the prime ways of his studies. When Wu Chi's headquarters had been under attack by a clan of ruthless shinobi warriors, they managed to kill Wu Chi. Dominick defended what had been the remaining of his home before they fled. He carried Wu Chi's body safely to a sacred place, where he stayed at his side in his dying moments. After Wu Chi's death, Dominick bathed his glass serpent blade in Wu Chi's blood, as a spiritual method of conveying his power within the sword. Eventually, when he returned home, in New York, he started his vigilante career as Blaze. He dealt with the struggle of maintaining his dual identity as a vigilante. While Dominick is not working, he's training under extensive and painful circumstances. Dominick restrained from using his solar abilities ever since his training, due to how many people he hurt in the path of discovering himself. During his hard work of driving his body, he gained an extrasensory perception. He felt this power had been a second chance for him to do right with his abilities. Dominick usually engages in social events, as well as economic and political matters.
