Tachyon

Origin story

Sebastian Bayfield appeared in Emerald City seemingly out of nothing. Very confused and disorientated, he introduced himself at Unknown as Tachyon. Nothing was found in the Aegis's database considering his personal information. This was no surprise to Sebastian.

Unbeknownst to AEGIS, Sebastian wasn't even from the very planet they were currently on. Sebastian is a time traveler from an Earth Colony in a different solar system of the year 5760. He lived on the colonized planet Auran, light years away from that time period's planet Earth. Sebastian lived his life normally on Auran as a college student, having a good time.

All of this changed when an alien race called Unknown attacked Auran. They claimed an individual called Tachyon was among them, containing the essence of time itself. The Unknown would continue to attack Auran's facilities until they would hand over the Tachyon.

The attacks continued for many days, yet there was no Tachyon. Eventually, the citizens of Auran would be forced to live in survival camps. Sebastian was among these people, Sebastian forced himself to find a solution to these attacks, and eventually found clues to the possible whereabouts of Tachyon, he was residing in the very camp he was currently in. after lots of planning, Sebastian followed the individual he thought to be Tachyon and confronted him.

The individual proved to be Tachyon indeed and the two engaged in conversation. Tachyon explained that the Unknown would only destroy all living things with the power of Time. He tried to explain to Sebastian the source of his power but Sebastian couldn't understand.

Their conversation was cut short with the Unknown having tracked down Tachyon as well, trying to imprison him instantly. Tachyon would use his power to stop time and walk toward Bastian, putting his hand on Sebastian's forehead. Tachyon started infusing his temporal powers into Sebastian and explained to him that his time as Tachyon has run out.

He would become the new Tachyon, and learn that the power over Time was a curse. With the infusion complete the old Tachyon sent the new Tachyon away in an explosion of Spacetime energy.

Sebastian Tachyon would then appear in a park, only later finding out that it was the year 2021 and he arrived on the planet Earth, the planet where his forefathers originated from.

As time went by, he learned that he arrived in Emerald City, a place where superhumans roam the sky. He would adapt, and try to make a living here, not knowing, what time would have in store for him.

Motivation

Protective, Knowledge

Tachyon feels a high responsibility towards preventing people from getting hurt, he has the power to control time and feels guilty when people get hurt when he could've prevented it.

His highest priority is that civilians stay safe and alive, something he couldn't do for his kind.

Tachyon's second motivation is getting a better understanding of the world he found himself in, emerald city seems like an ancient civilization to him. He will need to adapt and focus on his surroundings in order to get a better understanding of his current time period.

Flaws

Tachyon currently resides in a world he doesn't quite understand, common knowledge might not always be available to him. Tachyon also hates wasting time and doesn't like small talk. There is always something to do and he doesn't want to waste his time talking to news reporters for example. Tachyon will learn that he'll need to work on his charismatic skills if he wants to become a proper superhero.
