Domingos Vera

"Escute-meu, amigo. I've got business to do, and demonios to slay. You've put me in quite the bind in terms of time, so let's go ahead and just give you the options here: you leave, and say nothing, you join and change the world where others won't, or you get diced like a ham, compreendo?" - Domingos Vera talking to someone who trespassed onto his territory and committed crimes against his charges.
== Introduction ==
Domingos Vera was a part of the Project Liquidate super soldier program, and has made his way to NNYC, quickly having become a boss of one of the many new gangs running amok in the city in the chaos of the Four Kings crisis that swept the city.
== Story ==
Domingos Vera was born in Fortazela, Brazil, and was quickly tossed to the slums of the country's poorest corners. Domingos was an unwanted child, and his parents quickly had kicked him out once he was old enough to walk and talk, leaving him on their doorstep on a rainy night before he wandered off to the unknown, leaving him scraping by, begging for dollars and food. However, all of this changed when Domingos was approached by an odd looking man in a lab coat that was in pristine condition, quite contrary to the slum alleyway that he was holed up in. The man offered a sum of money, and free lodging to Domingos, however he was refused. Domingos, however, seemingly didn't have a choice, and was knocked out and dragged to an unknown laboratory for experimentation in Project Liquidate's Brazilian HQ.
Once Domingos arrived at the laboratory, he was forced into physical and mental training for months. Not wanting to die, he obliged the scientists, quickly becoming physically fit and mentally sharp in about 7 months. Once he reached this "peak" physique, he was suddenly strapped to a chair in one of the darkest corners of the lab. At first, Domingos thought he was going to die, and believed so up until the point he was brought before an unnamed scientist who held a glowing orange syringe in his hand, grabbing Domingos' arm and injecting the glowing liquid into him. Domingos, unbeknownst to him, was made into a super by a virus known as the VABRAXAS E-4 virus strain. While plans were made to train Domingos with his new powers, the laboratory was shut down by a PMC. Domingos, however, made his escape.
Domingos, now living on the streets once more, was wandering even more lost than before. This didn't last long however, as the young Domingos was wrapped up by a gang member and kidnapped, to be enlisted in the making of illegal drugs and firearms, as many slum kids in the area were. He again, fearing for his life, dutifully worked and fulfilled his work until one day, where he witnessed one of the gang members begin to sexually assault a girl. Domingos suddenly began to feel a flare of energy, but won't elaborate more on the event. However, it is extremely plausible that Domingos finally uncovered the secrets of the VABRAXAS E-4 in his veins, and it was said that he and the girl walked away from a building burning into the sky that smelled of cocaine and death.
After this, Domingos' paper trail disappeared, up until he appeared in NNYC, with a whole gang in tow. The Homem Morto Caminhando, or "Dead Men Walking", have come up through the woodwork in NNYC, but it is unsure of their true intentions, as Domingos' natures are oddly aligned with that of the NNYPD and vigilantes.
== Abilities ==
* Fora do Caminho, Puta: Domingos has an innate presence that commands respect and loyalty, and it isn't uncommon to witness people clear the way for him, even if he asks in the rudest way possible.
* You Get Cinco Minutos, Amigo...: Domingos, while a gang boss, is extremely kind and giving, often allowing helping people who his gang has been contracted to kill check something off their bucket list, giving flowers to their funeral, and paying forth a fair sum of cash to the family of the person. Domingos is also extremely open to talking things out, much rather wanting to avoid conflict.
* ...But Don't Make Me Regret It: Domingos' kind nature, however, isn't a weakness, as the moment the trust of his agreements is betrayed or the person attempts anything out of line with any kindnesses he gives, he will pay them back in spades.
* VABRAXAS E-4: The VABRAXAS virus strain was a very enigmatic virus, and new strains have begun to appear. Domingos, whether lucky or unlucky, has been injected with the VABRAXAS E-4 strain.
** Duality: Domingos' own personality coincides with that of another voice inside his head, which he refers to as Anjinho, which offers guidance to Domingos. Most of the time sane, the voice seems to be a hyperbolic reflection of Domingos' own personality.
** Faíscas Voam, Querida: VABRAXAS E-4 allows for Domingos to harness energies to form constructs of energy, although Domingos' constructs have the new ability to have their temperature modified. The temperatures can range from lethal heat to hypothermia-inducing cold, and typically take the form of ranged attacks.
== Trivia ==
* Domingos, while leader of a gang, has actually worked with numerous vigilantes and peacekeeping organizations, even having teamed up with a few Remnants agents in NNYC to take down rogue supers running amok.
* Domingos has only three strict rules in his gang: No Families, No Kids, and No Rape. If anyone breaks these three rules, it is common knowledge that they either won't be heard again, or seen for a long time. Domingos has once cut a man's groin to make an example out of him for breaking his rules, and also cut out the tongue of another.
