Name: Dominic Michael Carver. Unlike many of the Archers, Dominic has only changed his first name once, opting to forget his past name all together. His first name was Roger Anderson of Cornwall.
Nickname: Domo is a nickname. Nick or Carver if people are really desperate. As you may have noticed, nicknames don't entirely work with Dominic. Perhaps it is the name, maybe not. Whatever is the case, nicknames suck.
Role: Archer 1.
Age: 24 (540)
Sexuality: Dominic would consider himself adventurous, but still rooted to his heterosexuality - when he is actually a closet bi-sexual.

Fears:
Pnigerophobia, Fear of Being Choked or Smothered - while the neck is an insecurity unto itself, Dominic freaks immensely if someone even moves to touch his neck in any shape or form. Mostly due to his death, but also because of an accidental choking as a child.
Thanatophobia, Fear of Death - Dominic was faced with death multiple times throughout his life, which rooted his paranoia of the unknown. It certainly didnât help that his death was prolonged, planned and violent.
Contreltophobia, Fear of Sexual Abuse - There is always this lingering fear to Dominic, which makes him much more hesitant about sex than others. There is always the fear that he will be abused through sex somehow which freaks him out.
Dreams:
Find Love, Dammit - After 500 years, Dominic is starting to really feel the need to find this elusive thing called love wherever he can find it - even amongst humans. Now Dominic knows it is forbidden, but does he really care? He would gladly be erased from time and history if he was able to find love - and he isnât exactly quiet about it. Sure, he was married when he was really alive, but that wasnât entirely what he would call love.
Stick Around - Sort of a secret/dream if you will, but Dominic desires to stick around for a bit, but not for the reasons like that silly Claude.
Secrets:
The Open Book - In case you havenât noticed, Dominic is horrible at secrets, even with the ones he wants to keep about himself. His personality simply doesnât allow it. So everybody knows basically everything about him, well except...
Uncertainty - To put truthfully, Dominic is uncertain of whether or not he wants to get the hell outta dodge. See, he absolutely hates that Cupid kept him alive for the sole purpose of making other people happy when he isnât very happy himself. Yet after his first contract was fulfilled, Dominic got curious about this crazy thing called love, and decided to stick around - much to the shock of many. The other motivator? While he wants out, he sees quitting as a form of death, and that is a no go zone.
Personality:
To keep this brief, Dominic is a brash, loud lad who refuses to be silenced, yet still comes off as a complete goofball.
Being blunt is his forerunning trait, but it isnât something that Dominic wholeheartedly controls; it just comes naturally and without warning. He isnât always trying to be rude or nosy, but Dominic is always saying what comes to his mind before he can really think it out. When he does think it out, he will always stick by his original point, even if he does admit that he feels bad or wrong for saying it. His constant âspeak first, think laterâ attitude makes him great for striking up conversations with others and while he is on the hunt, but usually hinders his progress with the humans. Call it the scale just balancing itself out.
What it canât balance out is his naturally goofy persona. He likes interacting with people, even if they donât like interacting with him, and just likes to talk. His conversations can either start weird, become weird, or end messed up: it makes first impressions so much easier when they place themselves into only two categories (those that hate his guts and those that find him enjoyable).
Dominic, while being slightly obnoxious and ignorant, is a trustworthy and oddball underneath. He has a policy of never lying to another, whether it is behind their back or in their face. His trust is hard to earn though, as he has gotten burned one too many times by letting his trust give way to loyalty - more on that in his history. Granted, his honesty has gotten him into many troubles throughout his history, especially when he came out saying that he actually harbored a great dislike for Cupid and the whole set up of âfalling in love with a human makes you go poofâ shindig.
Letâs go into that shall we: since Dominic isn't quiet about what he dislikes, his anger can also be fairly whimsical as well. Not to mention his selfish streaks - Dominic likes to keep his physical things to himself, while only giving words to others. Regardless, his anger is rooted from his deep grudges that he refuses to give up. His grudge against Cupid for picking him, for instance, or his grudge against authoritarians who like to think they know what is best - his biggest grudge is against that stupid King Henry VII, but more on that later.
Overall, Dominic is an oddball that loves to be goofy, have fun, and be honest while trying to keep a selfish, obnoxious attitude to himself and failing.

History:
Dominic was born in the beautiful county of Cornwall on November 29th, 1473 to a sailor and his wife. While he was an only child, he was technically the 5th kid of the family, as the other 4 had died due to multiple circumstances. Regardless, the kid who was actually called Roger grew up on the sea. All his young life, Roger learned of the ways of the mistress of the sea - fishing, sailing, navigating, and overall being a skipper. Truth be told, it was a fairly uneventful childhood besides a few points.
First was that he had only a few friends growing up, which suited him fine as the optimistic yet rude, youth. However, while playing a game, his one friend grabbed around the neck, pretending to catch a witch and smother her to death. What resulted was Roger nearly dying, and his extreme paranoia of his head began. Next was his accidental run in with a spear, which could have killed him had it not missed his heart and nicked his shoulder instead. Finally, Roger married the local hothead Amelia when he turned 17: but he didnât really love her. No, he simply found her extremely attractive, and his parents were getting irate about him not having a kid yet. So of course, over the next 7 years Roger sired 7 children to which he felt more towards than his wife, who didnât feel much for him either - her parents were the same as his, so he seemed like the best candidate to make good children Odd how these things work out.
Ignoring all of those points moves us to the greatest movement of the time: the Cornish Rebellion of 1497. Most of Cornwall was fed up with Henry VII taxing them heavily just so he could fight off some northern barbarians, to which the Cornish people couldnât care about. So under An Gof, some 15 000 Cornish folk marched towards London peacefully (well, almost), including one Roger Anderson. However, when they reached London was when things went south: fast.
Before combat, they lost 5000 men to various reasons, and Henry was serious about wiping them out: who else would send 25 000 soldiers to deal with 10 000 peasants? So the massacre ensued with numbers varying on the dead. When ordered to surrender, Roger refused, which caused him to keep fighting, but ultimately be mortally wounded. The last thing he saw was a horse seemingly mocking him before he blacked out.
When he awoke, Roger found himself in London, captured by a knight that planned on using him as a slave. Roger was openly mocked as being a Cornish man who dared to attack London, a weakling. He tried to contain himself for his survival, but ultimately his instincts won out and he viciously attacked the knight that âownedâ him, which resulted in him being slotted for hanging. Before he could get there, though, the knight and a few of his friends came by to utterly destroy his body, spirit and mind. By the time that he was dragged to the pedestal, not much of a man was left. The lever was pulled, gravity acted, and Roger gave out a scream before the air was taken from him, and he was executed.
However, Cupid thought that the Cornish man would be a great candidate for an Angel, which Roger immediately mocked at first. However, realizing that he was now alive and his fear of death was finalized, he changed his name to Dominic Carver, and that was that. [Sort of a WIP]
