Dominic Shinmane

"So what? I-I've been treated like crap a-all my life..."

15-year-old Dominic Shinmane's not exactly the most well-liked. The fact that he's the child of Kurousu and Ninten due to Vincent screwing around doesn't really help. Although he's managed to find a couple of friends (such as Cassie and Myde), he blames himself for nearly everything and is constantly abused physically and verbally by Joseph, and has a near-constant stutter that gets him made fun of even more.

His theme is Take Me To Space And Back by Renard Queenston. (Was originally gonna be 'Even The Odd Found Love' from the same album, which even has a fitting title, but that song is kinda NSFW.)

Personality
Timid, shy, insecure, and constantly nervous, he's nearly the polar opposite of his half-brothers Joseph and Artemis. He tends to be quite cowardly and flees from fights, and doesn't seem able to stand up for himself. He can be friendly in a bit of a dorky way when around his friends, although it's really easy to make him withdraw into his depressed, nervous state again. 'Nic's scared shitless around Joseph, and seeing as 'Seph doesn't take too kindly to him, this isn't without reason.

Abilities
It's hard to tell what Dominic's power actually is. Something screwed up somewhere when he started to develop PSI, giving him something entirely different yet similar. If anything, it's more of a natural defense mechanism. Dominic freaks out, his powers activate, and things start going to hell.

He glows when upset or scared (or, in some cases, for entirely no reason), which doesn't really seem like much at first. Dominic can also utilize energy blasts and shockwaves to destroy just about anything, and a bright flash similar to PSI Flash that tends to be involuntary half the time.. Sending him into full-fledged panic mode seems to have the effect of making him start to Phase, although he doesn't lose his sense of self, nor get injured by the transformation. While Phases do appear to be emotion-based, Dominic's unique in that his trigger is fear, not anger. ..Things get complicated when he scares the shit out of himself because of his ability, though.

'Nic's recently also gained a glitched form of telepathy. It's constantly active, causing him to hear the thoughts of everyone around him... constantly. Only a few things-- namely, Myde's sitar playing for some strange reason-- have managed to shut it off.
