Personality: Dominick possess quite a view leadership type traits, but as the modest man he is, he declines most of his complements. Growing up with two parents, he learned composure and discipline, from both adults. As he grew up, he was known to volunteer for just about anything for the fact of gaining experience and not going down the path of a show-off. He's a rather laid back shinobi, not letting his lazy habits interfere with his training,due to his mother not having that. His attitude during training is more of an aggressive mentality due to Dominick trying to over-come situations through self-motivation. He pushes himself to the limit knowing the harder he works, a longer life he can go on to live. Dominick doesn't seem to take kindly to those who don't respect his comrades or over step there boundaries. Out of his comrades, he can be known for having the most-level head out of anyone during tough situations,due to applying his Taijutsu tactics to his intelligence. Not only does he train his body, he also feeds his mind knowledge often seeing while he's "Being Lazy", he's reading about different jutsu's and how they work. Once Dominick starts something he tends to finish it, it pains him deeply as he punishes himself, when a task ins't finished within it's deadline. He's taking a liking to sucking on lolipops or chewing bubble game to keep his mind focused and to help him remember things, as he tends to snack while he reads.
Character History: Birth: Dominick Hideaki, son of Ninja Historian Daruchi Hideaki and Taijutsu Prodigy Mako Taksuki, was born an average baby within the hospital of the Kumogakure. He didn't have any birth defects, nor did he show any signs of short life. His mother was a kekkai genki resulting in her having Storm Release, as for his father he was a basic ninja born with one chakra nature "Lighting". Due to Lighting being the most dominant trait, it was chosen as his chakra nature. His parents were from two different worlds, his father spent years attempting to master multiple jutsus from wars of the past reinventing techniques as his mother, was a person of little patience. Though she was gifted with an Kekkai genkai, she resulted to use power from his physical body taking up the style of Taijutsu.
5 Years Later...: It's been a certain amount of time after Dominick was born into the village, his father began to read about many stories that he had written about in his journal. About the different wars causing the effect of there present shinobi life styles. As time passed Dominick became fascinated about his fathers journals entries, not knowing these where his tickets to get ahead of his generation. He sat there and listened taking more interest into his fathers work. But his most favorite time spent was with his mother, during there free-time his mother would take him to the nearest waterfall and he watched as his mother constantly trained. Even after giving birth she was as amazing as she was in her prime. Even without verbal confrontation, his core memories of his parents began to shape who he was going to be as a person.
7 Years Later...: After another elapse of time, Dominick still valued his parents more than anything. As he grew older he trained in Taijutsu just along side his mother, when she began to think he was ready. Day after Day the trained their bodies to the limit, not returning home until they almost drained themselves. Hard work began to pay off, as he could see results in himself. From time to time, he would sneak multiple journals from his fathers study, and read them always eager to learn information. He'd sneak out his window at night, while his parents slept and practice ninjutsu by himself. He found an entry labeled "Lighting", a move that creates beast at the will of the user via Lighting Nature. After endless nights of practicing, he called his parents out and showed them his finished move. They were amazed he learned it in the time he did since others his age where still only learned how to use their ninjutsu. His parents agreed there little prodigy was ready to enter the Kumagakure Academy, so there boy could become a ceretified shinobi. Even before entering the academy, Dom learned several more jutsu's utilizing his own chakra nature, and some from the Water Release. At the time he seemed, gifted and he was in need of supervision.
3 Years Later... Dominick and 5 other's were sent to the land of fire to participate in the Chuunin Exams. These 6 represented the top of their Genin, Dominick ranking 3rd. The other two who ranked higher than him were both descendants of powerful lighting families. The Twin Destined they said, two prodigies who made up for each others mistakes. Since birth they've began to master each Lighting Release Technique in the records, which explains their signature move "Double Lariat",which he remembered from all of his father's journals pertaining to the past of the kumogakure. During the first round of the Exams, during the written portion, more than half of the participants were caught cheating, or failed. Questions about war tactics, and what must be done as a leader. Most tended to fail for putting answers involving leaving each other behind. Dominick had to reasons to put the answer he written, one was he wouldn't dare to leave his comrades, and the second was that the two wonder twins wouldn't leave each others side. During the second phase, his team came in 3rd place, losing two the Suna & Kono, in a race that only 6 teams could move on from. During the final phase, the teams where split up, as there was now a free for all battle of 18 members. Only 6 Could pass. Dominick battle a estimate of 2 battles, more like 1 battle as he ran into a memeber from the Suna & Kono at the same time. He faught mostly using Taijutsu, saving his Ninjutsu skills a trump card like his mother. The Kid from the Kono was more superior in combat experience seeing as how he almost took out the kid from the Suna. In the end, during endphase Dominick came out victorious using a twin running beast technique after he knocked both opponents into the air using Taijutsu. At the finish line , came hand & hand his team members, and one other fellow who was covered in wounds.
Present 2 Years Dominick has kept the title "Chuunin" for the last two years. He was currently hardening his body under the powerful flow of water. His Taijutsu had come along way from the younger years he had started, almost the best in the village except for the experts including his mother. His father had died shortly after his exams, while on a exhibition, attacked by a village his mother had kept quite since. She knew he was a loyal man that would most likely take his anger out on the village. Dominick knew much better, he had heard stories of shinobi who didn't get their way, and caused chaos throughout the world. But he was better than that, we knew how to keep his composure, and analyze certain aspects of situations. He's learned a variety of skills and still studies his father's journals attempting to create his own fighting style. Since his father died, he's used a set of bladed brass knuckles which his mother said belonged to her great-great grandfather. Combining the weapons into his Taijutsu fighting style, and applying his Chakra nature, Dominick became a force to be reckoned with.
