<strong>Student Name:</strong>Neena Thurman<br/><strong>Avenger Name:</strong>Domino<br/><strong>Apparent Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Civilian Appearance:</strong>(http://www3.images.coolspotters.com/photos/104955/keira-knightley-and-domino-gallery.jpg)<br/><strong>Avenger Appearance:</strong>(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5a/DominoX-Men.jpg/250px-DominoX-Men.jpg)<br/><strong>Marvel Character:</strong>Domino<br/><strong>History/Significant Events:</strong><br/><br/>Mutants, ordinary men and women set apart from the rest of humanity by an alteration in their genetic structure.  A simple shift of the genetic code could produce the awesome power and might that some mutants utilized with such ease.  The prospect was simply too good and too easy to remain untapped.  A perfect weapon could be breed and then mass produced for the highest bidder.  The army of pure breed super soldiers each with the X-Gene at their command.  Loyal from birth and trained to kill without question.  The prospect was too much for any place to resist for long and Neena Thurman was born to answer that call.  Too bad for her she wasn't what anyone was expecting or wanting.<br/><br/>Up until the scientists and administrators judged her a failure, they taught her all the tricks and stratagems needed to survive.  Combat tactics were drilled into her mind by experienced mercenaries, weapons and martial arts gifted to her by the masters, and a top notch education given to her by college professors.  All this in preparation for the day her classmates would be her enemies.  The day when she was brought outside with little more than a strip of clothing and orders to kill.  There wasn't much choice really as the first spear came for her only an hour after release.  So she took her first life at the tender age of thirteen, another mutant whose powers were just a little slower to manifest than her own.  Days passed and she continued to claim the lives of her fellow students and mutants.  Her powers manifested steadily, but seemingly without control.<br/><br/>When at last she emerged victorious, Neena was not welcomed with open arms.  Instead she was sedated, marked with a tattoo over her eye and set in a cell to await judgment of her fate.  Ruled a failure due to the seemingly erratic nature of her abilities she was scheduled for termination so that a new class could be ushered into existence.  As luck would have it, Neena's mother overheard the order for her daughter's execution.  Maternal pride and instinct weighed heavily on the next moments as Neena was broken free of her prison and cast back out into the light.  The world sped past her as her mother made a run for it to preserve the life of her child.<br/><br/>Father Rudolpho Boschelli was to orchestrate the next few years of her life.  Among the children of the Sacred Heart Academy for Young Women her name became Domino and Neena Thurman was lost to her.  White skin with a black tattoo made the name immediately catch.  Other nicknames were tried, but Domino found ways to apply her combat training to her life in Chicago.  Few of the other children called her such names twice.  Trouble followed her quickly and only luck saved her from a prison sentence most nights.  The good Father tried his best, but the shackles of training were off and her body raged with the wants of a young heart.  None could contain her when she went out at night and none would stand up to her to curb the developing attitude.  Father Rudolpho knew she was attracting the wrong sort of attention when more than just typical gangbangers started showing up by the Church to ask for her.<br/><br/>Fearful that mercenaries might take an interest in her, the good Father betrayed his promise to Neena's mother.  He called out to SHIELD for help, revealing the girl's identity and secret to another government body.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/><br/>Domino has seen the dark side of life.  Bearing witness to death has given her a morbid sense of humor and a daredevil attitude toward life.  Every breath could be her last and so her life is lived to the fullest.  What feels good is worth trying and what feels bad is worth a bullet.  Nihilism might threaten to consume her if not for the training that lurks in her mind.  Breed to be a soldier, trained to accomplish her goals, Domino has an unerring ability to focus.  Given a task she will complete the object with no excuses allowed and no shortcomings given.  In her life she has seen the price of failure as death and she isn't quite ready to die yet.<br/><br/>Work hard, party hard is more than just a motto for her.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><br/>Domino is a mutant with the ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." This "probability field" phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. The full extent of her powers is still unknown.<br/><br/>This subconsciously controlled talent is triggered when she is in a stressful situation (such as fighting or escaping). This effect constantly emanates from her body at all times and is completely subconscious. However, it is also largely participatory—in order for the luck to take effect, Domino herself must engage in an action whose chance she can affect.<br/><br/>For example, if debris falling from the sky was about to hit her in the head, she would still be hurt if she stood still. However, if she tried to avoid it, she would move perfectly to avoid each and every piece about to hit her. In addition, if Domino were to stand before a hail of bullets she would be a bullet-riddled corpse. Instead, she must take action, attempting to avoid the gunfire, and would miraculously bob-and-weave just perfectly to avoid every single shot.<br/><br/>As a byproduct of her probability abilities, Domino's cerebral cortex emits a current of bioelectric pulses down her spine to instinctively guide her movements during such situations, which has the added effect of augmenting her natural reflexes and reactions to superhuman levels.<br/><br/>Domino is also a superb marksman with various firearms, highly skilled athlete, excellent swimmer, and adept in use of explosives. She has extensive training in various armed combat techniques and the martial arts, with Olympic-gold level athletic and acrobatic ability. She also seems to be fluent in multiple languages.<br/><br/><strong>Fears and Weaknesses:</strong><br/><br/>Domino fears failure.  She fears becoming like her classmates and just being another target.  To be the prey in her mind is the worst possible scenario and so she constantly struggles to be the aggressor and be the one in control of her fate.  While not always the leader, she'll be damned if she doesn't have a say.<br/><br/><strong>Desires and Aversions:</strong><br/><br/>To be respected and have a good time getting there.  Now what Domino considers a good time is often not what other people have in mind.<br/><br/><strong>Controllable?</strong><br/><br/>While Domino must actively participate in her power she has little control over how the power manifests.
