General Personality: Dom comes across as a tough guy, not afraid to get his hands dirty and will not hesitate to kick your ass if you hurt his family or friends. This includes his sister, hurt a hair on her head and you are dead meat. Putting family first means he has done illegal shit in his life, including one of his passions - street racing. With his intelligence of cars, he often works on his own, and with it comes one of his sayings: 'A real driver knows exactly what's in his car.' He knows whats in his car from the engine parts to the battery. He expects this of his friends also, not afraid to drill them and make sure they know, and make sure they check properly. Racing is dangerous as it is. No need to add extra danger to the whole thing.
If one has his loyalty, he's the type to always have your back. A father-figure and brother-figure to most, his house is always open along with food, as long as you obey the rules. He'll protect those he cares for without second thoughts, without any regard for his own safety. With a rough moral code he lives by, it means he gets into trouble even though his intent maybe good - but he doesn't really care. There is a sort of thrill he enjoys from each experience, especially if it's some sort of stunt involving cars. No-one can talk him out of it if he decides upon something. Not his sister, not even the woman of his dreams. Ah Letty, he loves her despite being surrounded by other woman, he only has eyes for her. Single, he can be a ladies man, the ultimate charmer. But when in a relationship, he'll never ever cheat.
THE APPEARANCE
Six feet tall of pure muscle and he knows it, though he doesn't use his height to impose, much. A tanned skin tone, done naturally from his time outdoors, with eyes that can either look angry or sparkle with life. Dom has no hair upon his head, though if he cared to grow it out it would be dark black. Generally he leaves his face free from a beard or mousache, though sometimes he lets stubble appear, mainly because he's too busy to do anything about it. That and it gives him a 'rough' edge which he likes.
THE HISTORY
Father: deceased
Mother: deceased
Siblings: Mia
Marital Status: Taken(I presume)
Children: N/A
Other Important Family Members: his crew
History: Dominic Toretto was born on July 18th, the eldest son and brother of Mia, whom he was always protective over. Their father was a racer, specializing in drag races, only to be killed after a driver clipped into his car, forcing him into the nearby barricade. Seeing the guy walk made him angry - so angry that he beat him almost to death, leading him to be arrest and tried for assault. Sent to prison, he left friends to watch out for Mia, to make sure she would be okay - they knew if they failed him, they'd end up like the guy who killed the elder Toretto. Upon getting out of prison, he ended up back in LA where he followed in his fathers footsteps as a racer. Though in his case, a street racer rather than a drag racer.
With racing came a need for money income, which lead him to have both a grocery and a garage. Both were a front to keep his racing habit going, as well as bringing in money to feed himself, his sister and anyone who visited. It all lead to hijacking trucks for more cash. It all lead to Brian coming onto the scene, an undercover cop working on the case though Dominic didn't find out until later, feeling betrayed an angry. And worse, he knew his sister was falling for him. In the end, when the cops were almost on them, Brian did something Dom never expected - giving him the keys and a car to get away. And get away he did, leading him to the Dominican Republic which ended up with him and his crew hijacking another tanker and his romantic relationship rekindled with the love of his life, Letty.
Things went downhill after that. He got a call from his sister, as she informed him Letty had been killed. Devastated by the news, he went to the spot of her death and would track down what happened to her. With the evidence, he was able to find out the truth, though not without more trouble following him like a constant shadow. In the end, with his sister safe and his girlfriend dead, Dominic gave himself up, tired of running, knowing he needed to face time for what he had done. Prison is where he'll stay until someone breaks him out, or he gets out on appeal. Whatever comes first, though he suspects a breakout would happen far sooner than appeal. And he was right. Now he does what he does best, keeping one step ahead of authorities, keeping his crew together, protecting his sister. The rest is history(aka, the rest is on site under history but I really don't wish to type it all out xD)

THE ROLEPLAY SAMPLE
RP Sample: (Figured it would be best to do a sample of Dom - they'll get better as I get more used to the character (: )
Racing was his life. He was damn good at it, one of the few things in life he could safely say he was good at, the other was being an older brother. He inhaled sharply, scents of motor oil, leather and that new car smell was in the air, along with excitement. Tonight was race night, where he'd leave them all in the dust. Right now he was checking the engine of his car, making sure nothing was out of place. A real driver knew exactly what was in his car, and he'd drilled that into his crew. Setting an example was needed otherwise why would they bother if he didn't practice what he preached?
Carefully closing the hood, he turned, facing other drivers who were miling about, waiting for the start. Already he'd spoken to them before returning to his car, some of his crew were there, talking amongst themselves or standing quiet. Soon it would begin and Dom would be in his element, hoping in his vehicle in preparation now that he'd checked it over, except he wouldn't get to ride that night, not in the race he expected. One word had everyone jumping in their cars, tires squealing on the concrete. Cops. Dom barked out orders out the window as his crew scattered into their own cars, Dom made sure they were out as he twisted the key, his baby purring to life.
All it took before he was on the road, pedal to the medal as red and blue lights flashed behind. He wove through the streets, through other cars, without even crashing - too long he'd been racing, not to mention it was in his blood. A familiar grin permeated his features, soon replaced by utter concentration to get away. Once the lights faded from the rear view mirror, he continued to drive, this time slower, more careful, making sure he was in the clear. No way was he bringing heat back to the house.
Making it home, he hopped out of the car, entering the house and glancing about, noting that his crew had made it back without incident. One person he couldn't see was his sister. Worry etched into his eyes - if she was hurt, he'd flay the one responsible. One of his pals handed him a beer, accepting it, while he searched for Mia, knowing he was in trouble the second he walked into the house. No doubt she had heard what happened and was worried. Word spread quickly when police were involved.
