DON'T STARE AT ME

Dominic isn’t an incredibly attractive person, quirky is probably a better word. His nose is a bit prominent and angular. His ears are also pretty large and he keeps his hair short so that it doesn’t make his ears look even larger then they are. One of his few things about his own features that he likes are his icy blue eyes which he claims are quite lovely.

He is only five foot eight inches tall and stick thin, more from his freakish metabolism then from any working out, infract he puts almost no effort into staying in shape aside from when he occasionally feels like going for a jog, very rarely that is.

His sense of fashion is virtually non existent. Most of the time he only wears black pants or dark jeans, a t-shirt, and a long leather jacket.

He keeps his hair very short (nearly bald) and clean shaven, unless he goes on a weekend bender, he seems to grow facial hair very quickly.

Dominic has a very expressive face, you always know what he is feeling and he makes no attempt to hide it.

I WON'T SHUT UP, I KNOW THAT I SHOULD

Dominic is an asshole, that is probably the easiest way to put it. He loves to make himself new enemies. When he was working as a full time columnist his favorite little phrase was “If they don’t hate me then I need to just try harder.” He seems to love going out of his way to piss people off.

He can be unpredictable, at one point the was doing a piece on child prostitution, after sitting down for an hour with a man who forced his own children into having sex with strangers for money Dominic without any warning lost it, beating the man within an inch of his life, even making sure he would be blind by putting out cigarettes in his eyes. Ironically, despite the fact that the mans blood was all over his hands and he quite happily admitted that he had done it he was never charged because of a lack of evidence.

He never lies, to him journalism is all about telling the truth. You can either give no bias at all or give a bias and openly admit it, if you claim to be unbiased when you give your own view then you should admit you are going to.

While he might be an ass and shows no shred of humanity most of the time he can be a downright compassionate person, especially when children or people he views as innocent are involved. Of course almost no one is innocent so don’t expect him to be nice to you.

LIVING IN THE PAST

History: In west Philadelphia Dominic was born and raised, his mother was paranoid schizophrenic and soon after he was born she ended up in an asylum, his father was a police officer in one of the most corrupt precincts in the city. From the time he was young Dominic grew up seeing some of the nastier sides of humanity, his father was fond of shaking down the local pimps for spending money and the few times that he saw his mother it was a miserable experience , she would often accuse him of being sent there to spy on him for whatever her most current delusion said was out to get her.

To deal with what he was feeling Dominic just started to write, at the age of six he started to keep his first journal, writing about the things he saw and his take on it. In middle school he did the same thing only on the school paper. When he got into high school he was thrown off the paper because he accused the vice principle of spying on the men’s locker room. This just pissed him off though and he started his own weekly news letter about what was going on in the school, when the school threatened to expel him for this he wrote a news letter about that and sent it to the ACLU. This not only got him out of any trouble with the school but also got him national media attention and eventually a full ride of Stanford.

4 years later he had graduated and started writing a weekly column for several papers around the world, by the year 2001 he was the most notorious journalist in America, infamous for his incredibly biased articles, unexpected interviews, and irrelevant questions that somehow got him the information that he needed. The papers that carried him saw an average of 20% average in their circulation. He had also published several best selling books on what he called the “Real America”. Around this time he also got married on a whim to a woman he met in Vegas.

It was 2004 and everything seemed perfect, his marriage was going better then he could have hoped given the circumstances of how it happened, he had a wonderful three year old daughter and was getting ready to start his own news show similar in lay out to the O’rilley factor. Six days after George Bush was reelected the show went on air live, a special hacker friend of his made sure the feed wasn’t cut when he told 20 million viewers just how stupid he thought the entire country was with Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, and Sean Hannity. He just went on a rant about how his guests were morons and finished it up by standing on his desk and taking his pants off, telling the entire nation to suck his dick. In his words the entire world would soon regret America’s stupidity in reelecting GW.

Though his contract with MTV kept him from getting sued or held responsible for what had happened over live TV. He did however lose his job and his wife left him, using that footage of him on air to prove that he wasn’t a fit parent, getting full custody.

After the incident and Dominic’s refusal to apologize to anyone for it made him an outcast among journalists, no paper or magazine would touch him. He was able to live off his royalties but his already heavy drinking and smoking became worse, added to it was some heavy and experimental drug use.

At the start of the 2008 school year Dominic has finally managed to find steady work again, teaching journalism at the reform school, Red Sky Academy.

RP Sample: Dominic was late for his own class, but that hardly mattered to him, he was just going to try to make an impact on his students and by getting in there a little bit late, well more then a little, it would help. Besides if a few students walked out of the classroom then it was just his way of separating the people who are worthy of his brilliance from those who aren‘t.

Pausing outside the door Dominic used his phone to start playing a song by the Ramone’s as he walked right in. “I wanna be sedated…” He sang along as he pushed open the door and walked in, acting as though he didn‘t even notice the students that were there.

Instead of doing anything at all to acknowledge them Dom just walked up to the white board and wrote the name Hunter S. Thompson on it before turning off his music and facing the students. “That isn‘t my name students but that is a name I expect each of you to know before class tomorrow, that man did more for modern journalism then you know. Whether you like what you did or not he did change it. My name is Dominic Zane, but you can call me whatever you like. Welcome to a class that I think you will probably enjoy… because we are going to have a lot of fun here.”
