Profile

Tommy Shepherd seems like a normal teen. Well sort of, he’s got that white hair and as he’ll tell almost anyone he’s a mutant. Those with the access to dig can find out that a white haired mutant named Thomas Shepherd has record of petty crimes as long as his arm and one not so petty crime: destruction of property. His school's gym if you're wondering. He also was accused of murdering one of his teachers but the body was never found and the charges were dropped. Very little has been heard from Tommy since then, but records will show he lived on Genosha for a time.

Who's Speed? Right now it's just the mutant name for Tommy Shepherd.

< Molecular Acceleration >--------------------------

Tommy is able to generate hyper kinetic vibrations that accelerate the molecules in matter to become agitated to the point of explosion. He can casually explode objects with the density of stone and a mass of around 100lbs and can do larger or denser objects with focus or when lashing out emotionally. A secondary side effect of this power is he can manipulate his own molecules and those of one other person he's in physical contact with to make himself (and the other) intangible allowing them to pass through objects or objects to pass through them. Currently he can only hold this state for a few seconds and usually only while running at a considerable clip or after a few minutes of focus.

---

< Speed Physiology >-----------------------------

As part of Tommy's mutation, his body is adapted towards the rigors of high-speed running. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems are many times more efficient than those of a normal human being. Tommy metabolizes an estimated 95% of the caloric energy content of what he eats as opposed to the 25% normal humans do. This high metabolic rate also ensures that, although not immune to toxins, venom, and other chemicals, Tommy will burn through whatever effects the toxins have considerably quicker than a normal human. Tommy will certainly get sick, but the duration of the sickness would be much shorter than normal. His body does not generate fatigue poisons, which would normally force the body to rest. Instead, he expels waste products during his accelerated respiration through exhalation. His joints are smoother and lubricated more efficiently than normal humans. His tendons have the tensile strength of spring steel (he can lift 600lbs with his upper body a ton with his legs). His bones contain unknown materials significantly more durable than calcium to withstand the dynamic shocks of his feet touching the ground at supersonic speeds. His eyeballs are able to withstand high wind velocity, allowing him to see clearly without any obscuring of vision. In addition, Tommys practical reaction time is several times faster than normal. His brain processes information to a level commensurate with his bodily speed, enabling him to perceive his surroundings and react while traveling at high velocities though the down side is he can't turn that processing speed down, making the speed of the world around him painfully slow.

---

< Superhuman Speed >----------------------------- Tommy's top speed hasn't been clocked but he can move at least Mach 3. Though he cannot maintain that speed for long before becoming tired. He generally runs at an easier Mach 1.

---

< Academics >---------------------------------

Tommy's not dumb, it's just that school is sooooooo boring, and he hasn't done a lot of it.. However he has the general knowledge you'd expect from someone who's a senior in high school.

---

< Fast Talk >---------------------------------

No, not talking at super speed, but the gift of the gab, saying the right thing to get a mark to believe what you say. Tommy's not a pro, but a talented amateur in this field and is always game to try out his skills if he gets the chance.

---

< Fighting >---------------------------------

Not hand to hand combat, fighting. Tommy learned to fight the hard way, having bigger kids beat the shit out of him. He tried Karate for a bit (dropped out) and generally scrapped with his friends to learn how to fight.

---

< Navigation >--------------------------------

Yeah, sure there's GPS and stuff like that, but you don't want to look down at your phone and see 'Updating...' while you're running at the speed of sound. Tommy has figured out how to at least guestimate where he's going in a general sense and makes up for any misses by sheer speed. Though he has a definite knack for it.

---

< Petty Theft >--------------------------------

Tommy was a delinquent and did the shoplifting and sneaking out thing a lot as a kid. He even learned how to boost car stereos and things. More or less these skills have fallen by the wayside now that he has powers and can blur through walls and stuff but he still remembers how most of these skills from his misspent youth.

---

< Streetwise >--------------------------------

When you hang out with sketchy kids you learn how to manage that sketchy vibe. Tommy can fit in with that crowd pretty easily most places he goes and can pretty quickly find someone to tell him the score. Who you got to watch out for, who you got to show respect to, and where to move or find stolen stuff (and also, who has the good drugs). Though he's strictly low-level at this point. He's not going to be setting up any meets with the Kingpin or anything.

---

< Technology >-------------------------------- Tommy is a 21st Century Digital Boy, he knows computers, social media, phones and tablets. He's no hacker, but he has a handful of tricks to get into low security systems if he has hands on access. Sadly the advanced computer security is well beyond his abilities.

---

< Contraband >--------------------------------

Tommy on a bad day is a one-man crimewave and has stashes of stolen goods around the city. Most of it is small time stuff but if you have a special request and the security superspeed mutant proof he can probably get it for you.

---

< Fake ID >----------------------------------

Thomas Shepherd is under 21, but Eric Charles isn't! Who's Eric Charles? A fake NY State driver's license and a NYU student ID. Both IDs look good (the student card is legit) but the driver's license isn't on file with anyone so if it's checked by the authorities it's coming back as fake.

---

< Speed Suit >-------------------------------- While in the Facility, Tommy's keepers made him suit that would stand up to the rigors of super speed. This suit made durable low-friction fabric that can withstand moving at high-velocities. The suit comes with goggles, a comm unit and boots capable of withstanding moving at Tommy's speeds.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

---

< Criminal record >------------------------------

Tommy has a rap sheet and a reputation for being a mutant extremist. This doesn't make him popular with the authorities, anti-mutant groups or prospective employers.

---

< Intolerant >--------------------------------

Tommy isn't exactly a wipe out all human's kind of mutant, but he has received a lot of hate from humans over the years and he's more than happy to throw it back. As a result Tommy prefers the company of mutants, but with time can get to like 'flatscans' if they're cool. However he does tend to underestimate and put down humans which can be dangerous to him and annoying to others.

---

< Seems So Slow >------------------------------- Tommy's powers make it hard for him to interact with the world at less than superhuman speeds. When he does it feels like its moving at snail's pace, like a lagged-out video game. It's frustrating and constant and has eroded Tommy's patience to almost nothing. As a result, he tends to act first, talk later loathes deliberation of any kind and is generally annoyed at the world around him. Another side-effect of this power is that when Tommy does a task at super-speed to an outside observer it seems like only seconds have passed while Tommy perceives what he's doing like someone doing it at conventional speed would do. Meaning doing a week's work in a few minutes to Tommy still feels like he worked a week.
