## **Background**

### **Distinctive features**

Domino's physical form typically depicts an amalgam of a echidna and a blue oni's features. He is seemingly short in height, plus-sized, with a slightly bulky figure and skinny wrists. He has long, midnight express black quills along his back that point upward and outward, which take the form of his hair. His entire complexion is smooth, with humanoid-textured blackcurrant violet skin. He has long clubbed horns on the front of his face, the right horn is almost completely chipped off. He has incredibly sharp, yellow teeth. He has long bat-like ears, with his left ear having a small scar. Domino's eyes are almost pitch-black, with small and intimidating casablanca yellow pupils. Beneath his eyes are eyebags which are darker in tone from his skin, and has a stubby mustache.

His clothing varies during each appearance, but typically: he wears a spun pearl white t-shirt underneath a midnight blue coat, with casablanca yellow stripes and buttons. He wears baggy, foot-length jeans, which are barely being held up by his belt. In the comfort of his residence, or around his allies, he wears flashy and expensive clothing. His most notable choice of clothing are long fluffy coats, chains, multiple belts and low jeans.

#### Voice

He usually speaks with a rhotic accent, with a sort of smooth-talking tone of voice, which is juxtaposed with extremely vulgar vocabulary. When his temper is lost, his vocal tone can fluctuate between blunt and loud, to soft-spoken.

### **Personality and traits**

He is an egotistical and self-conceited narcissist, as he has a habit of continuously boasting about his self-absorption and admiration, with an ill-temper and explicit aggressiveness. As he is used to being a lone wolf, Domino is intolerant of most people and can be very derisive, being quite rude and condescending to essentially everybody he interacts with. He has very little modesty, either towards his peers or people who look up to him, however he only shows this whenever he is intensely focused on a target, presumably to uplift his ego.

Through his lack of modesty, he can be very loyal and remorseful to his allies. For example, towards Bowser, he is tenacious and aspires to achieve his tasks smoothly. Domino is also moderately intelligent, as he is able to manipulate his enemies and use their weaknesses to his advantage. He is also psychologically chaotic, and strives to do things for the benefit of himself, which explains his extreme bloodlust. When he is in a neutral state, he is stoic yet vulgar. His silent demeanour gives the people he interacts with an uneasy vibe.

## **Powers and abilities**

Domino has various sets of skills, all being natural, artificial, or unique. He physically lacks biological powers inherited from his father, and was not treated well when he was a youth due to that.

### Natural Abilities

* **Teleportation**: Cloakie can naturally teleport to whatever location he pleases. However, this ability is limited, because at birth, Cloakie had underdeveloped powers which makes all of his natural abilities unbalanced.
* **Manipulation of inanimate objects**: Cloakie can control and possess inanimate objects. He shows this during "Shadows and Reflections", when he writes books to Junior through as he watches him pass through the rooms, he does not write the books manually but instead uses his mind. He even ignites the candles in the room Junior enters.
* **Echolocation**: Cloakie can emitting high frequency sound pulses through their mouth or nose and listening to the echo. With this echo, he can determine the size, shape and texture of objects in its environment.
* **Hibernation**: Being part bat, Cloakie has the ability to hibernate. This is the only fully-working power inherited from his father. He would do this after suffering a sufficient amount of damage, and will fly off and hang upside down in the far distance, or he would simply to it to sleep or wait for a late arrival.
* **Bat Form:**

### Artificial Abilities

* **Levitation**: When wearing his cloak, Cloakie can levitate and/or float.
* **Nightmare**: Cloakie can create or recreate alternative forms of himself, basically illusional doppelgangers. His clones tend no to differentiate, so it is difficult to find which one is the real him. Cloakie calls this power the "Nightmare", as it is so horrendous for his opponents to experience.
* **Manipulation of limb structure**: Cloakie can enlarge or shrink the size of his body parts. Similar to Spinel, he can use this powers as a high advantage, by grabbing opponents and throwing them or trapping them. He is seen using this ability when he encounters Bowser. Jr when he tries to rescue Lapis.
* **Hell-break**: When Cloakie's fury takes over his mindset, he becomes mentally unstable and transformed into a malformed, monster version of his true form. He is much more powerful and becomes uncontrollable.
