[hr] Hometown: Prattville Alabama. [hr] Biography: Born in 1985 to Valerie and James West, David grew up in a small yet busy two story home in Prattville Alabama with his sister Ashley and his older brother Damian. His childhood was pretty much the same as everyone else's. He was enrolled in local school, made friends, and got into fights with bullies. Basically the standard childhood of any boy born at that time. After he made it out of elementary school along with his brother Damian, David ended up in a local high school and from there worked his way into a nearby community college. It's here that he and his brother worked to earn their Bachelor's degrees in their chosen fields of study. It's also here that their powers to control time first awoke during a dorm party in which a fight had broken out between three other student's in the room right before everything besides them ground to a halt. After figuring out what had happened, the two brother's broke up the fight and left the party a few minutes later, their mind's blown by what they had just witnessed and done. While they were a bit concerned about what the other students at the party might say, they each reasoned that everyone there was probably too plastered to remember something as significant as two twenty something's seemingly teleporting around the room to break up a fight. Upon returning to their shared dorm, Damian and David both agreed to swear an oath of secrecy about their power's, lest someone found out and attempted to use them or their newfound powers for malicious purposes. They also set their minds to discovering the exact limits and capabilities of their abilities so they didn't accidentally harm themselves or other's. Once they had earned their Bachelor's degrees, David's in computer science and Damian's in business management, the pair graduated from college and got matching hourglass tattoos to commemorate their trip through "Hell" as they called it. After this they went their separate ways and took up jobs a various places. Only a year had passed before they saw each other again. This time under much darker circumstances. They found out that their sister had been murdered. Having received word from their parent's, both Damian and David made their way back to Prattville where the funeral was being held. The service seemed to stretch on for an eternity before her casket was finally lowered into the ground. Both David and Damian looked on in silence for a long time as a light rain began to fall on the area. Finally Damian left, leaving his brother standing, alone, over his sister's grave. And that was the last time David saw him. He searched high and low, on the internet and in Damian's workplace, but came up with nothing. Absolutely nothing. He even hired a private detective and still couldn't find him. It was as though his brother had vanished from off the face of the Earth. After six months of non-stop searching, David grudgingly accepted the fact that he wouldn't see his brother again and did his best to move forward past the loneliness and heartbreak. He moved from place to place over the year's working as a freelance web developer, until he eventually moved to the California supercity of Bell Reach in early 2020 where people with powers, or metahumans as they were also known, lived in droves. While he moved there mainly to honor a contract he had with a client, David also made the move out of the faint hope that his brother Damian had somehow ended up in the city as well. [hr] Personality: Having grown up in a small two story house with two other siblings, David learned patience, tolerance, and respect at a very young age. While his brother and sister would throw tantrums when they didn't get their way, David would calmly wait until his parents decided upon the right time to give him what he'd asked for and if they said no, he simply accepted it and went about his businesses playing with his toys or climbing the large walnut tree in their small backyard while his siblings would run off to their rooms and sulk. Aside from those traits, David also developed good social skills and found himself most at ease when surrounded by his friends at school. During his school years he also found that he had an intense hatred for bullying and those who preyed on people who weren't able to defend themselves. This hatred ended up getting him into many fights with other boys along with many visits to the principal's office. While his disgust and hatred for bullies-as well as his grief over his brother's disappearance and his sister's murder-have slowly subsided over the year's, his desire to help other's and do what's right has not and he will not hesitate to use his powers to aid those in need around him. [hr] Skillset: As a senior full stack developer, David is good with tech and coding, something he found he had a knack for in his college days, and is relatively skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well as hunting and the handling of a firearm thanks to his families keen interest in the outdoors and outdoor activities. [hr] Powers: Chronokinesis - This incredibly powerful ability allows some of its most skilled user's to affect the fourth dimension, and by extension the universe or possibly multiverse (if such a thing exists), in unimaginable ways. Luckily for humanity, normal and metahuman alike, this power is extremely rare and comes with many lethal side effects if overused such as brain hemorrhages, strokes, and accidental lobotomy just to name a few. Less powerful or skilled time controllers must also consciously focus on keeping time stopped, slowed, etc. unlike the most powerful and skilled of manipulators, who can control time as easily as one flips a light switch on and off. Errors in time can occur as well if the user doesn't know what their doing and if they aren't careful, then they could find find themselves reliving the same moment over and over again, get frozen in time, get erased from existence entirely, or possibly end up stranded in an alternate timeline, again if such a thing exists, where the world is ruled over by a tyrannical regime of sentient hamsters. As such, this power must be used with the utmost caution and care since one slip up could end life, as we at least, know it. [hr] Tools and Equipment: The most current model of IPhone, a black backpack, a-licensed-9mm Glock, an Alien Ware PC, and a [url=https://prohuntingknife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Some-of-the-Unique-Hunting-Knives-in-the-Market.jpg]fixed blade hunting knife[/url]. [hr] Additional Information: David has an elaborate hourglass tattoo that covers most of his upper back. He got it after he and his brother's graduation from college to commemorate what they jokingly referred to as their journey through "hell". Before his sudden disappearance after the funeral, David's older brother Damian also had a matching tattoo on his left inner forearm that he often covered up with a long sleeve coat or shirt of some kind after their sister's murder five months after graduation. It was as though the very sight of it had become a constant and jarring reminder of his inability to protect her instead of the lighthearted and fun thing it was supposed to have been originally.
