Dominance: New York City

Capture of a wealthier area of NNYC

**Dominance: New York City** is a sidestory of Dominance: The Next Generation. It takes place just after the Kurotama Mission during the Darkbane Arc, in Neo New York City. It entails the story of a rag-tag team of unlikely criminals-turned-heroes and their endeavors to stop a mysterious new threat known only as The Four Kings, who are wreaking havoc on opposing crime organizations and the general public, and causing mass anti-Super movements to occur within the city.

## Characters

### **Main Characters**

* **Laura Wilkinson****:** A former detective of the NNYPD, Laura became part of New York's police force in order to investigate the death of her father, but has been inadvertently swept up in the criminal underworld when she discovered that she was being targeted by the Four Kings. However, she has made the best of her situation and is responsible for rallying the criminal alliance to fight against the Kings.
* **Iva Saskia:** An orphaned street rat who lives her life as her criminal alter-ego *Iconoclast*, Iva had a chance encounter with the crew not long after they had made it to the St. Valentine's primary hideout. Though at first the group acts with aggression towards her, after explaining their respective situation to each other, Iva became interested in possibly being paid large sums of money if she were to help take down the Kings, possibly enough that she could leave the street rat life behind. However, throughout the journey, her feelings towards the team have gradually shifted from simply viewing them as people helping her to get money to more of that of genuine friends and allies, especially so with Laura, whom she shares an almost paternal relationship with due to her lack of parental figures during her childhood. In fact, their relationship could be considered the closest in the group.
* **Kong:** A Void Walker who works under Miles Baker, Kong (real name *Masaru Shibata*) serves as Baker's protege and top enforcer. Kong has a mysterious past, and stories about his life range from meeting cosmic entities to wiping out the remnants of a civilization. Regardless, Kong serves as an important member of the main team and whilst he can be cold and callous with his mask on, under the mask he is rather laid back and friendly. Once he found out that K.S. Ghaston was the one behind the deaths of Void Walkers in NNYC, he developed a bitter hatred for him and even went as far as killing him. His best friend in the group was Elijah Dunlap.
* **Roland Masseau:** A war veteran turned all-American vigilante whose patriotism for his country has led him to fighting against the Kings. Though introduced later into the story of NYC, Roland has proven himself a valuable asset to the main cast and an important part of the story overall. Out of all the characters, he has probably developed the best relationship with Laura (save for Iva), and though he sees most others as enemies at first due to their criminal nature, overtime he has grown attached to them and is no longer afraid to consider them friends.
* **K.S. Ghaston (Former):** A familiar face of the Dominance series, K.S. Ghaston travelled to New York City after leaving the Orphans of Infamy for originally unknown purposes. Introduced a few sessions into the story, it is revealed that K.S. Ghaston's insanity has returned in full force and he is in fact devouring other Void Walkers and absorbing their S-Genes in order to boost his own power. On their journey to meet the Baker Gang, Kid's mental state quickly deteriorated to an even lower point than before, and he managed to escape the Baker facility shortly after his arrival there, only to be captured by the Kings. He now serves as an antagonist to the main cast, and seeks to kill Laura.
* **Elijah Dunlap (Former):** Elijah Dunlap, more commonly known as just Eli, was one of the original members of the main cast. Born with a skin condition that also affected his eyes, Eli had a distinct stylish flare in the group, and a friendly and comparatively warm personality to match. Acting as a sort of emotional buffer for the team, Eli was also serious and headstrong when it came to protecting those he valued. Unfortunately, just as the crew got to Baker's facility, they were attacked by one of the Four Kings, Augustus. During the attack, Eli was impaled through the chest with one of Augustus' swords, and despite the crew managing to get past the gates of the facility, Eli died mere moments after. His death serves as an important point in the story, as it drives the characters even further to defeat the Kings.

### **Revenants of Black Watch**

Later on in the story of NYC, a new threat is introduced: the Revenants of Black Watch. The Black Watch sent in the Brass Hussars legion, the Black Watch's military police, in order to put the city on lockdown in the wake of the city-wide riots caused by the actions of the Kings. They momentarily took over the role of main antagonists during their operation in the city, until they are driven back after the Brass Hussar's leader, Jurek Horace, is defeated by Laura Wilkinson and Roland Masseau.

* **Jurek Horace:** Captain of the Brass Hussars legion.
* **Teodora Petrović****:** Vice-captain of the Brass Hussars legion.
* **Evelynn Boucher****:** A subordinate of Teodora. Evelynn eventually became the most persistent threat of the Black Watch, engaging in battle with Roland even after the Black Watch left. After being beaten by Roland for a second time, she is now imprisoned within one of New York's maximum security wards.
