Domina: Difference between revisions

One of the biggest things that makes the city of Domina unique is its use of the toy maker, a [[Bio Augmentation]] device. People can use it to remake themselves however they like, and entire cultures have formed based on vampires, demons, and angels. The city's [[Wretched Hive|harsh nature]] means that most of these cultures spend their time killing each other, but the political balance is being upset by the arrival of the [[Our Zombies Are Different|screamers]].
