[cs=2] [style=text-align: center; font-family: open sans condensed; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: solid 2px #222222; margin-bottom: 4px; text-transform: center;]FULL NAME Dominique Ximena Delgado Nicknames include: Dom, Mini, Short-stuff, DD (most hated) BACKGROUND Dom was born March 10th, 19 years ago in Jubilife City. Her parents were proud producers at the TV station in the city. Their lives were hectic and work often dominated their time. It wasn't stressful for them, their long work hours; a baby on the other hand... as a result Dominique was raised mostly by her maternal grandmother until her death. At which point her paternal grandparents stepped in and took her back to the Cherrygrove in the Johto Region with them, Adele was 7. Life with her grandparents was infinitely better. They ran a daycare with Dom's Aunt who was a Breeder. Dom learned a lot about rising something up right, be it a Pokemon or a person. Her aunt Jessica became her mother figure and tried but failed to teach her something about breeding. The love thing she understood it was the compatibility of Pokemon that she couldn't wrap her head around. While living with her grandparents Joseph & Anita, Dom's bio-rents (as she affectionately refers to her mother and father) would pay a ridiculous sum for her grandparents "troubles". It was nice to know her parents either thought so much of her to spend that kind of money or just really thought she was that troublesome. Regardless the money was split between a savings fund and paid vacations at least twice a year. Often Jessica would accompany her to various regions for work related purposes but her aunt was the type who knew how to mix work and play and keep Dom involved. During a trip to Unova Jessica was call on to pick up an egg someone had found in their yard, work as getting hectic during the trip and Dom was left on her own for most of the days so to keep her company she let Dom have the egg. It was a responsibility that inspired and ignited her love of caretaking. From that trip onward Dom was more active in the Daycare helping her grandparents. As far as the War is concerned Lux had the right idea to start with but somewhere between speaking and implementing their ideals something went wrong. Their laws didn't really restrict Dom or her family's business until they outlawed pokemon, which is a physical impossibility in any region. Still changes needed to be made to ensure the family business without too much trouble. Jessica joined the Lux ranks as a Breeder in the hopes that they would leave the daycare in peace. It worked for two years until someone said Joseph was a Nox sympathizer. They took him away within the week and he didn't return for almost five months, during which time Anita was stressed to the point of needing constant bedrest. Jessica was in some far off region and responsibilities fell to Dominique. Lux had officially stripped them of their right as a Pokemon Daycare. Because the investigation was pending they weren't deported immediately which gave Dominique enough time for some quick thinking. While she loved caring for Pokemon it was always tough on her to let them go back with their owners, she didn't have that kind of professionalism when it came to the creatures her world was shared with. Children however were a soft spot she knew how to distance herself from. Turning the Pokemon Daycare into a Child Daycare was easier then most might think. The only thing Dom ever worried about was her grandmothers failing health and her grandfathers health status unknown. Finally he was returned to them and they were cleared and registered with Lux once more. With little strength left in him he didn't combat the change of no Pokemon but Dominique doesn't always follow that rule. She won't turn down caring for a Pokemon regardless of Lux's laws and so far she hasn't been given any trouble, probably because Kanto is so strongly in Lux's grasp. OCCUPATION As a Nursery Aide Dom actually takes care of preschoolers and doesn't discriminate against the occasional pokemon either, even if it is against the rules. ALLEGIANCE Dom is Lux only because its the lesser of two evils. She isn't sympathetic to either cause but Lux's ideals are something she can back up, their methods are another issue. TRAITS [/style]

[atrb=border,0,btable][atrb=width,420,btable] POST SAMPLE

[atrb=style,padding: 0 10 20 10][atrb=style,border-bottom:#222222 4px solid] "You look like you could use a vacation." A weary voice spoke from behind her. The tenor was as familiar to as the sun was. Hard to believe she hadn't been around it since birth. Without turning Dominique found a scowl mar her expression. The past few years had been rough on him and still he had done everything in his power to make her life easy. She was old enough now to return the favor. "I want you to retire," She blurted out in an exhale, but her conviction made the words strong. "I know you think I need help here but really I'll be fine. I'm planning to add a few more extra hands around the place... younger hands I might add." The laugh that followed was almost forced but still genuine. Gathering a deep breath she turned and faced her grandfather. He had a small sad smile on his face but worse than that was the pain behind his expression. It was more than the fact that he was old. His skin wasn't wrinkled, it was just barely hanging on to his gaunt body. She was worried not just about him but Anita too. Maybe it had to do with their age but this civil war was not helpful to their health. And yet as worried as she was about them the thought of them leaving terrified her to bits. But she was stronger than her emotions after weeks of mental preparation for this moment and she smiled in reassurance. He watched her carefully for another minute before joining her out in the backyard. Dominique turned her attention back to her Pokemon chasing each other around on the kids playground almost seemingly oblivious to the changes in the world. Maybe they were but then again maybe they weren't, maybe they just knew how to capitalize on the peaceful days and worry later. It was a mystery and no doubt many before her had wondered. Tiny looked over at her and cried out before he was tackled by Precious it made her laugh. And in that moment she heard the rumbling laughter of her grandfather beside her. So rare a sound it was that she shut her eyes and tried to commit it to memory because who knew if she'd ever hear it again. It was over too quickly and he sighed heavily before he spoke, "Your Grams and I have been discussing leaving for Unova. Jessica says it's decent for the moment, tense but things are far more compromising over there. But we don't want to leave you here alone either... Won't you come with us?" The question was one she had been asking herself for years, ever since Lux had arrested her grandfather. But her roots were as firmly planted in this ground as a Bellsprouts. It was the first place that felt like home and she wouldn't abandon that feeling. If this was her home then she would stay and fight for it against Nox and even Lux if it came to it. "No, I think I need to stay here."
