Description Domeliac has always been a trouble making male Dryad. He was born under the star of Saturn with extreme toxin abilities. His body is covered with a poisonous flower called "Phoenix lily". He still acts immature even after everything that has happened, but can be serious in dangerous situations. There is nothing he values more than his little sister as he remembers how much his big brother did for him when Domeliac was still young. His family has faced a lot of hard times, but with a positive attitude and hard work they try tackling the issues, even though Domeliac finds it unfair how some are counted as better than others.

Domeliac is a centaur Dryad with golden eyes and dragon looking heads-shape and tail with a body type and antlers of a deer. On his back there is long blonde fur in which, near the shoulders and back legs, are spikes which posses toxicating abilities if touched. Domeliac has long vines on his body with leaves, little bracelets on all four legs and three blossoms of Phoenix lilies. The main blossom branches out from his heart twisting around the muscular body. He doesn't posses many markings besides the spots on his chest and pelvis area and some around the cheeks.
                       
Backstory    :

            
Domeliac has been treated like a silly odd-ball when he was young. He wasn't really interested in the other Dryads and didn't care about anything besides himself and how to make others treat him better. Though the others would look wary at Domeliac as his core flower began spreading from the heart and was identified to posses toxic abilities. The Dryads saw him as a toxic creature not only from the outside, but from the inside as well. Though even with these gossips going around, it didn't stop Domeliac from being cheerful yet arrogant. Everyday he tried finding some new way to stand out and to feel special. Those couple seconds of fame often were enough to let him feel fulfilled.  It was good for him to have a caring brother who would get Domeliac out of trouble if he would go too far and get into trouble which would happen quite often. They had the closest relationship until one day Palou left to live in another part of Eretaria with his mate. It was sad for Domeliac as he often felt lonely and his cheerfulness and happiness became nothing more than a facade to pretend that everything is fine. 

       
      
As a teen Domeliac became more and more interested in his toxic abilities, just adding a smidge of the Phoenix lily's petal would make any food or drink poisonous with a possibility to be lethal. The nice thing in his life which happened was the birth of his baby sister. She was a like an angel with an Orchid growing around her. She seemed as if nothing ever around her is wrong so she would be taken care of. Some family members didn't realize how manipulative Kaya could possibly be, but she didn't even know that she was doing it. Seeing Kaya grow just made him even more sure that Dryads are the superior race and it also helped Domeliac cope with his brother's decision to move out and so he was starting to get happier each day. He especially loved taking Kaya to a tutor as she was taught by young Dryad who was still trying to be accepted as a permanent tutor for the younger Dryads. Even if Domeliac wanted to deny it, he eventually admitted to himself to having attraction towards Omelia (Kaya's tutor). Sadly with everything going nicely it was soon told that Domeliac's brother had beed killed my a Mars affiliated puppet. As some described in a poster "Burned alive and ripped off of anything considered valuable". The only remaining treasure was Palou's poem after being exposed to severe violance in the region 

Roses are red,

Oleanders are blue,

When will the bloodshed end

So I can be safely with you.

Nowhere is safe,
Unless you stay by my side.
I'll never let go of my pain,
Until you see me at night.

Please don't forget me, dear, no matter where I might be -Palou

It wasn't easy to figure out it's meaning, but with the past of Palou it was understandable how he felt. And the sorrow he feels each day because of his looks always is really painful, but his core flower only would bloom at night, so he could feel fulfilled only during the time that stars would shine. With his sadness Domeliac put his mind to getting Omelia linked with him so that at least it would be easier to protect little Kaya and to be near his love at the same time.


     

Once grown up Domeliac instantly started working, he wasn't sure as to where he would be helpful, but with the agreement of his father Domeliac started applying his deadly poison to various potions, or to toxicate weapons (usually dagger or arrows) to be sold in secret among Dryads for self defence against other Fairies or Races. Even though he couldn't have gone up to someone with Mars's star, he still had to make sure that everyone else weren't in danger from others. One day which was quite ordinary Domeliac wanted to go see his little sister if she is doing fine after her lessons with Omelia. She had grown enough to be able to come back alone, but Domeliac wanted to be sure she would come back surprised as they were celebrating Domeliac' and Omelia's engagement. Omelia would've taken her back home, but she had plans to quickly visit Latis for some specific jewelry merchandise. While going to greet his sister, Domeliac noticed something odd. A Nereid fairy which was looking quite aggressive was talking to Kaya. Quickly shouting for Kaya to hide Domeliac threw a poisoned dagger towards the middle-aged Nereid. It only scraped him, but it seemed to be enough to damage him severely. "Never try hurting my little angel". But as soon as he said it the Nereid just fell and wasn't even able to try fighting back. Upon closer inspection his body seemed haggerd and without proper nourishment. Looking into Kaya's eyes he saw tears swelling up. She hasn't ever seen her brother kill up until now... "This old man just wanted to find his daughter and yet you hurt him using me as an excuse". She had disliked the other races due to how she was raised, but seeing anyone killed sends the shock and panic. Domeliac didn't want to stay here as he felt guilt and shame for acting so rash, but what was done can't be changed. He grabbed his sister's hand and quickly got back home meanwhile trying to calm her down. He would love to change this day, but whoever was hurt was already in pain. Domeliac wanted to write a letter to the poor Nereid, but he could never find the words.
    I am sorry for what I have done, I didn't know it was wrong. Not knowing your reasons or making sure you are evil I struck you witch might making all your relatives cry. I hope you can forgive me, please don't come to kill me... *everything else is in smudges and couldn't be read*

to, Nobody


        
Sorry for the sever watermarks, but I intend to use the character so proper protection is necessary so he wouldn't get stolen just in case The story might also be lacking so I might update it once I get some feedback! I wanted to cenvey a point and keep it interesting while aintaining some information for the story. If something is weird or raises questions (unless it is an intended cliff hanger) I will try to add explanaitions to make everything as clear as I can!
            
And now for proper credit!

Thank you very much,  Zagiir!!! I wasn't sure if it looks great as I feel like it lacks details, but I wasn't sure how else to make it better so I thought that I shouldn't overwork it!

The color is so lively and vibrant! Like they really look like they belong in a tropical forest or something! I could pretty much feel the humidity and warmth of the environment too, your background art is stunning!!

The story is really heartbreaking. Good thing he had his sister and his mate or else it sounds like he’d have suffered quite a bit

Thank you very much! it means a lot that my efforts are appreciated! I usually try doing detailed backgrounds and such, but for characters I usually go for something abstract which would seem like it fit and matched. it also portrays the feeling of the forest ^=^
It is sad how his brother was killed without proper ceremonies and that he wasn't able to say goodbye to his family. But it was uncalled for to attack the Nereod without first figuring out if his first thoughts were correct. Because of it the Nereid's family had to suffer.... or more specifically Pankendra's.
