Description and/or Picture:
Dominique is a short, skinny African American girl with black and purple pigtails separated by a row of spiked piercings that lead down to the base of her skull where a small circular auxiliary jack is implanted. She also has one natural brown eye, and another cybernetic electric blue eye that also functions as a projector of sorts, able to show a small holographic screen of what she sees in The Net. She wears a black tank top with stylistic lettering that reads “Johnnie Maxxx", a short black and purple skirt that shows off her metallic outer thighs that function like pockets. She wears purple fishnet stockings and large black boots with many studs and spikes. She also wears a pair of large rectangular mirrored sunglasses that function as a monitor for her NetDeck.

Biography: Dominique was raised on the streets of Night City, a large metropolis located in a dystopian United States, now known as the New Colonial Republic. Her life was filled with many hardships, having to grow up rather quickly. To accommodate for her lackluster real life, she delved deep into netrunning, a form of computer usage in which a person links up to The Net as an avatar and can live a second life of sorts. During her time as a netrunner, she has taught herself various tricks of the trade. Hacking, net espionage, and much about computers and the electronics she has used to do so. Being a child of the streets, she speaks in a language made up entirely of slang terms. By the time she turned 16, she had made plenty of credits by committing various crimes over The Net, and as such has bought many cybernetic and biological body modifications, known as Ware, to accentuate her cyberpunk lifestyle. She has made many corporate enemies in her short life of just nineteen years, more than most netrunners have at her age.
