yes, omg !! it makes me so giddy that you're interested in him 🤭
mechanic!rafe is slightly based on him, so there are a few similarities but not many
Dominick Hawthorne, a former Marine, served multiple deployments before being discharged under mysterious circumstances—some say it was an injury, some theorize something worse. Either way, Dominick refuses to talk about it.
He's tall, broad shouldered, and covered in ink, looking every bit the intimidating man he is. I imagine him as Tom Hardy but with a jagged scar running along his jaw, and he speaks in a low southern drawl.
He grew up in Magnolia Ridge—the kind of picturesque small town where everyone knew everyone's business—and returned there after he returned from the military, residing in a run down trailer at Willow Creek Trailer Park and working as a mechanic at Ridgeside Autobody.
Dominick Hawthorne was the kind of man you didn't want to cross, and in a small town like Magnolia Ridge, everyone knew that he was the one to go to when you needed something handled quietly and with as little fuss as possible. He likes his life of solitude and hates getting involved in people's business, but a protective instinct deep inside him makes it impossible to ignore when people really need help.
