Personality:

♦ Kind ♦ Impatient ♦ Wise♦ Withdrawn ♦

Dominic is a quiet and thoughtful individual. He does not waste his words on idle chit chat but instead only speaking when he has something worthwhile to say. He is eloquent and rarely uses foul language. Although it’s easy to speak to Dom, it’s extremely difficult getting anything personal from him. He is more than happy to help any of his friends with an issue and it is true that more often than not he is the one they turn to for help but when he is the one in need, he shoulders the burden alone and withdraws from everyone around him. A lot of the time, it is like Dom is detached from the world, like a wise sage you go to for advice as he is perceptive of your wants and your needs but yet is an enigma to himself. Dominic is happy to lead a quiet life, staying away from parties and just chilling on his balcony with a beer or watching the game with a pizza. When life gets too much for him, Dom simply grabs his snowboard, hikes into a mountain and stays there for weeks at a time with no word to family or friend. Solitude is his oldest friend. A self admitted neat freak, everything in Dom's apartment has a place and he will know if someone has moved anything and there will be hell to pay if you have.

D E F I N I N G M Y P A S T

History:

Dominic Mason was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Raised in the countryside on a farm; Dom’s early life was very simple. His life was a routine of early mornings, feed the animals, milk the cows, tend to what needed tended to, head into town to sell what they could and then back home in time for supper. It was a quiet life many would crave, Dom from a very early age, always felt like he was destined for more. This relatively tough early life instilled in him the drive and determination many of his generation lack. This isolated upbringing also stunted Dom’s inter-personal growth. The absence of friends around him meant that his social interactions left something to be desired. He desperately struggled to form any lasting bonds with anyone so he found solace in music, often just sitting with his headphones on rather than talk to people.

Although Dom did attend high school in the city, he still struggled to fit in. After a while he began to enjoy the solitude and began to pursue solitary pass times like swimming, climbing and he eventually graduated to mountaineering, often going off on long trips with his father to traverse the harshest mountains the US had to offer. Eventually, Dominic developed an interest in trying out for the Olympic Ice Hockey team having grown up as a standout in pee wee and amateur leagues and at the behest of his gym trainer, he began to hone is skills and train hard. Dom was well in with a shot to be picked for the Olympic team but sadly, during a routine training exercise, Dom suffered a massive cardiac arrest. He survived and after testing it was found that Dom suffered from HCM, a heart condition sometimes found in young athletes which puts them at risk of sudden heart failure.

During his time at the rehabilitation clinic, the young man struck up a friendship with another patient named Jason. Jason was a former soldier who had been struck by some shrapnel and was now unable to walk. The two men became fast friends, even to the point that whenever Jason skyped with his sister Noelle, he would allow Dominic to join in the conversation. After a while, Noelle began skyping Dom by himself and the two developed a close relationship, finally it felt like Dom had found a friend. She even sent him a watch which he never takes off.

Once he left the rehabilitation clinic, Dom returned to the farm. Still believing there was more for him out there, he decided to uproot his life and leave the colds of Minnesota for the sun of California. Having managed to make a nice nest-egg for himself working on the family farm, Dom got himself a nice apartment – shared obviously since he isn’t made of money and a job at a bar on the same street with his boss even allowing him to flake out on occasion to go climb a mountain. His friends in the other apartments often call him the mountain man, as he seems more comfortable in the middle of nowhere than in a crowded place. Right now Dom is struggling to find anything to do with his life, he’s waiting for inspiration.

Relationships

Dominic Mason

"I’m not the best talker in the world but at least you guys understand that"

⚜ Acquaintances || ☯ Neutral || ☮ Friends || ♫ Best Friends || ♥ Love Interest || ⚤ Boyfriend/Girlfriend || ☠ Enemies

☯ Feliks Grezskiewicz ☯
"Good guy, just not my thing"
Dom and Feliks don’t exactly have a bad relationship but it isn’t really the best either. They mostly associate via their mutual friends as normally they’d run in very different circles but like any of the other tenants, Dom would always have his back.

☮ Benj Graham ☮
"He’s a talker but he has his moments, we get each other"
Not being the most talkative guy in the world often means that people usually already have an opinion on Dom, not Ben though. On some level, Ben understands Dom’s need for solace and is quite happy to ramble and let Dom offer him sage bartender advice.

☠/♫ Natasha Brinne ☠/♫
"If I’m the ice,, she’s the stone"
Tas and Dom barely talk at all. Even when the group is in its largest forms, these two barely utter a word in the others direction unless it’s some kind backhanded comment. Most believe either they can’t stand each other or they have a weird sexual tension. In reality, the two rely on each other, they pull each other up and count on each other. It’s a weird thing.

☮/♫ Bryant O’Connor ☮/♫
"Ducks fly together and so do Bro’s"
Connor is Dom’s Bro. Finally Dom found someone to push him athletically, someone who was up to the same challenges he was. These two can often be found in a corner somewhere talking about sports and somehow they even turned Emilio Estevez into a drinking game. Always looking for their next adventure.

☮/♫ Samson Shin-Won Ahn ☮/♫
"The other half of the engine room"
Dom has a lot of time for Sam, they have a deep respect and understanding of one another. The two can often be found having a chill night with drinks and good conversation. It’s a very grown up friendship as they both believe that they keep people together with their kindness and understanding.

⚤ Natalya Olsen ⚤
"Words can't express it"
To many, Dom and Nattie's relationship is awkward, they're roommates. How could they think it was ok to be a couple? Then again, what people think of them doesn't bother these two. Their relationship was built on long, meaningful conversations through the night. In Nat, Dom found someone who truly began to see past the iceberg he had built around himself. She saw the real him and he saw the real her. Plus she takes his breath away with a smile and wears his shirts better than he does so that helps too.

☮ Didi Sabello ☮
"I love this kid"
Didi is very much like Dom's baby sister. Too often she can be found sitting with him on the balcony, listening to his stories from the mountains. They have a very soft spoken, sibling like relationship built on respect for the quieter life.

☮ Echo Young ☮
"A total snow bunny, she's cool"
Dom actually first met Echo on the slopes. One morning he had gone to ride his board and this girl kept following his lines down the mountain. After little friendly competition they met at the base camp and got to talking, turns out she lived on the same street and the rest is history, a good friend and great competition.

☮ Eva Jones ☮
"My baby sis is growing up and won't stop calling me"
To Dom, Eva is much like Didi in the respect that he sees her like a kid sister. He's protective and offers any sage advice he can to help, though she tends to call at stupid o'clock in the morning so he likes to wind her up with some existensial hoopla.

"Thoughts on relation."
Your comments here

♫ Claire McManus ♫
"Offside? What do you mean it was offside? Girl your crazy"
Connor may be his bro but Claire is Dom's sis. A louder and prettier version of Dom, these two get on like a house on fire. Dom met her through Nat and the two have become close since, quite happily tossing back some brewskies arguing over the Bruins and the Wilds.

☯Belle Locke ☯
"There's more beauty in the mountains than in a diamond"
Dom has tried with Belle but he never seems to get anywhere. She is too materialistic for his taste and he's finding it hard to see the substance beneath the surface but that won't stop him from kidnapping her at 4am and dragging her up a mountain like the rest of them.

☯Jejomar Salinas ☯
"Erm....he's kind of funny on karaoke?"
Dom and Jeje have very little interaction. They both appreciate the quiet moments and have a little understanding of each other but there isn't enough common ground for them to really build upon.

♫ Kip Ippitsusai ♫
"My little buddy"
Dom treats Kip very much like a genius little brother. He knows the kid has talent and does everything to help him nurture it and grow. Kip is on Dom's short list of people he can open up to. There is a subtle understand and quiet bond between these two quiet men.

♫ Lucie Keller ♫
"Perchance to dream"
Lucie and Dom have a very interesting friendship. They share a love of sports and compared to the others, it is probably Lucie who understands Dom's loss of his Olympic dream more anyone else. She also likes to join him on his mountain adventures.
