Dominus

* Redeemed
* Dominant
* King

*"I no longer possess the will to dominate."*
―DominusDominus is an ancient spirit bound to an Entity Charm. He was enslaved by various owners until he grew the will to dominate and liberated himself. He spent some time with the Heralds of Retha but eventually escaped and terrorized the Lorilands. He fought the Starrite Guardians but later joined their team. He was redeemed, and found inner peace, but vows to help the Starrites if they ever need him.

## Appearance

Dominus can use his powers to change his clothes, but he will always be a white-skinned Human-looking entity with white hair, pink pupils, and a glowing pink eye as a result of damage to his charm. Just like the charm, his aesthetic always involves white, gray and pink.

During enslavement, he wore meaningless rags. In his time as a villain, he manifested a confident outfit with a luxurious, sleeveless deign that included glowing bracelets on his wrists and legs along with an exposed chest. Once redeemed, he wore a similar but more humble outfit, ditching the bracelets while making the outfit tighter and shortening the skirt. He now has pink vein-like lines across his torso.

## Personality

Dominus' long life has made him cunning intelligent. He is skilled at manipulation, such as when he manipulated Erruzent and others to free him from the Water Dimension, but also manipulated King Spade to control the Lorilands. He is reserved, often a coward, due to his fear of permanent damage to his stone and the trauma of losing his right eye. He is prone to being impatient but likes to make a grand entrance.

At heart, Dominus was never a bad individual, only mistreated by the hundreds of owners that came into possession of his charm. His will to dominate, well, dominated his personality for some time. He became obsessed with becoming the most powerful individual around. His life became like a "game" to him, the only goal was to grow stronger and surpass his adversaries. Dominus acted overconfident to fool others, but more so himself, because it would keep him stronger.

This facade of arrogance broke after he fought the Starrite Guardians and was imprisoned by the Ant King. He came clean to the Starrites about the fear he really felt, a character arc that climaxed while fighting Ogadont. Dominus regained his confidence against the Awakened Human, only for a few moments, but it was shattered once again. The incident shook him to his core, then personally befriended Magnus Milrankus who helped him realize that he didn't need to dominate. From then on, Dominus lost the will to dominate and any ill-intentions along with it, remaining confident but not arrogant- the most balanced version of himself.

## Brief History

Dominus born as a spirit bound to his Entity Charm. For the first thousands of years, he learned about the world and followed orders from whoever wielded his charm. He slowly realized that he didn't have to be enslaved, and on one fateful day, manifested his powers in anger to killed his current owner. From then on, Dominus began growing confidence but kept a low profile. In the 12th dusk, he wound up in Dirloc, and was found by the Heralds of Retha.

These new owners were too powerful and would shatter him instantly if he misbehaved. Dominus created a plan that involved manipulating the lesser-individuals around them. He waited until he was in storage at Leviathan Headquarters. His charm was eventually found by warrior Erruzent, who freed Dominus as he went rogue. The spirit also manipulated two other individuals, one with lavender powers, but the other broke free from his manipulations.

Dominus would return to Lorisin by the 13th dusk. He used his powers to manipulate King Spade into ushering a harsher rule on the Lorilands. He attacked mysterious Tina and wiped the memories of individuals that would later form the Starrite Guardians. His charm was damaged during one of their fights.

It was not long before he was found by the Ant King. Unable to fight off an army of ants, the Ant King took his charm and imprisoned Dominus. The Starrite Guardians arrived, befriended a helpless Dominus, and worked together to defeat the Ant King, From then on Dominus travelled with the heroes, helping them defeat Ogadont at the Well of Hope, but also losing his confidence. He bonded with Magnus Milrankus which led Dominus to discreetly leave and focus on himself.

He made a return at the climax of the battle against Miasma and his Insurgents. No longer having the will to dominate, his powers had grown weaker, but assisted the heroes in their victory. He took the title of Starrite, left in search of Tina, and vowed to return if they ever need him.

## Abilities

It is possible but rare for entity spirits to manifest powers; Dominus managed to obtain multiple through sheer force of will. For the longest time, he used the will to dominate as a power source, but later found he could still use his powers when he's at peace.

* **Entity Physiology-** As an entity, Dominus naturally has unique properties. He can retreat into his stone through touch and back out at will. Not only that, but he can also enter a spectral state where he cannot be touched by others, allowing him to phase through objects and walls. It is difficult to sustain this power, especially after the damage to his charm.
* **Domination Magic-** This magic runs on will and Dominus' mental state. It involves over the desire to dominate over others, giving Dominus unique powers that give him a sense of superiority over his opponents. Without the will to dominate, his powers grow weaker.
	+ **Superior Mimicry-** This power allows Dominus to create pink triangles that can mimic the abilities and attacks of anyone around him. While using the will to dominate, it made his manifestations more powerful than the original ability, but lost the superiority aspect once he found peace. He needs confidence over the thing he's copying for his powers to work.
	+ **Memory Erasure-** Dominus developed the power to affect the memories of others as a way to assert dominance over them. It is visually unnoticeable. He can use it in bursts to erase the short-term memory of anyone around him, but only if he dislikes them or has a reason. Occasionally, he can even use this power to permanently erase the full memories of his victims, just like he did to the Starrite Guardians. The permanent erasure could only be used at the height of his power..

## Weaknesses

* **Entity Charm-** Dominus is bound to his Entity Charm, making it his greatest weakness. Any damage sustained by the charm is permanent and reflects onto him. Not only that, but there is a limited range to how far he can go from the charm, forcing him to go with it in the event that someone else has it.
* **Lack of confidence-** Dominus' powers are will-based and tied to his emotions. When he is afraid, he cannot use his abilities. This happened at the Well of Hope, where he lost his confidence in the presence of Ogadont and briefly lost his powers.

## Trivia

* Dominus was originally intended to be Season 6's villain, but after severe negative reception from the players, Patrick decided to change his plans.
