Jack Dolan is a writer, specifically a writer of horror novels. He's been writing since he was a teenager in high school and had his first novel published when he was 22, right after graduating from Boston University, with an English degree. His last five books have hit the bestseller list, and the last two hit number one on the bestseller list. His dream of rivalling fellow New Englander Stephen King in booksales is starting to become a reality.
Jack wasn't always deaf, nor was he always able to move at extreme speeds under his own power. Late one night when he was 28 years old, after spending a long day writing one of his novels and then a long night drinking with friends, he took the Viper out for a ride along the Massachusetts coast. It wasn't long before he was exceeding 140 miles per hour. The rain slicked roads didn't help the situation any either. The car slid out of control at nearly 150 miles per hour, careening down an embankment, landing in some rocks 60 feet below. The car was crushed beyond recognition as was Jack's body. How he survived, no one is certain. Recovering from his broken limbs was a long and torturous process. His head injuries were said to have been so extensive that recovering from them was a one in a million chance. He was in a coma for six weeks, and then in the hospital for an additional six months, followed by over a year of physical therapy. The only remnant of his accident is his hearing loss. He recovered from all of his other injuries but his head injuries left him deaf.
It wasn't until the year of physical therapy that Jack discovered that he had been gifted with the ability to run at incredible speeds. He shared this information with no one, as he began to understand exactly what he could do with his newfound abilities.
For the next four years, Jack simply played around with his new abilities. He never considered using them for anything other than his own amusement until the day that one year ago that some whacko decided to hold a daycare full of young kids hostage. Using his superhuman abilities, he was able to get into the daycare and defeat the lunatic without so much as one hair on one kids head being harmed. It was then that he decided that he could put his powers to use helping others. Two months ago, he sold the Boston house and moved to a mansion in Freedom City, a mansion equiped to help in his fight against the evil in the world. He recently has established the heroic identity of Velocity to carry on the fight.
Jack still devotes time to writing but much of his spare time is taken up patrolling his new home city and trying to help people.
I'm leaning towards a speedster-type character, but that could change. Do you need characters before or after we're chosen?
