Name: Tendo Godai, AKA "Racer King"
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tendo is your typical Japanese male. Dark hair cut short, usually wearing a decent suit, as he IS a cop. On his off time, he wears t-shirts and shorts, since jeans tend to chafe at super speed.
Personality: Tendo, first and foremost, wants to help people. Though he may seem kind of distant, he's actually just easily distracted when not investigating. He's easily bored since he usually experiences time at 60x the normal rate. Thankfully, his fancy belt keeps him company, as it contains an advanced military AI that can store enough Velocity Power to temporarily return his perceptions to normal.
Skills: Firearms training, authorized to make arrests, police detective.
Abilities: Tendo's only abilities out of suit are super speed and the fact he percieves time at an accelerated rate. This means a second becomes a minute, a minute becomes an hour, so on and so forth. While this makes him seem aloof and distant, it also makes him the perfect choice to fight creatures in Supermass Zones where time stands still. His super speed does not come with enhanced strength or resistance to friction and impacts, however- using it is extremely dangerous. At high speeds, grains of sand in the air become a field of razors ready to tear him to shreds.
Enter the Racer Suit. This suit of armor, fired out of a particle accelerator straight at his position, is made of spacecraft parts, allowing it to withstand speeds even greater than Tendo's. By combining his natural speed with the protection of the Racer Suit, Tendo can fight Massiveroids on equal footing, inside Supermass Zones or out. In addition, the on-board AI in his belt can have the accelerator deliver tools to suit the situation at hand.
Equipment: Mr. Belt, a military-grade AI and his transformation device. Also has three weapons stashed at the subatomic level that Mr. Belt can grow to usable size- the Mach Magnum (a gun firing nonlethal foam rounds), Drive Shaft (a quarterstaff), Rush Riot (a riot shield, not much to write home about), and Volt Knuckle (a set of knuckles that convert the force of his blows into electrical charge). Most importantly, he has his badge.
Brief (HA!) Backstory: Once upon a time, Tendo was a rookie policeman in Kasoku City, home of Japan's largest physics lab. He joined the force with bright eyes, hoping to make a difference in the lives of others and make his hometown a better place. But when responding to a call at the Kasoku City physics lab, he came across a startling discovery- the culprit wasn't a human, but some kind of monster! A semi-humanoid figure, composed of equal parts bat and spider, was roughing up one of the scientists at the lab. Tendo took out his badge and shouted that the monster was under arrest... only for him to find himself inside a long metal corridor, the monster behind a window and laughing as it flipped a switch. This was the Kasoku particle accelerator, the largest in Japan, and he was trapped inside it! Bombarded with strange particles, he struggled at the door to the accelerator. That monster was still out there menacing the scientist. Eventually, he gave up on breaking the door... and made a running jump for the window. He didn't think it would work. But, then, he didn't think he'd suddenly shoot forward with a sonic boom.
Time moved slowly as he sailed through the bulletproof glass towards the startled monster, shattered glass floating slowly in midair. Blood from the obvious consequences of jumping through a window at supersonic speeds. The monster held his hand toward Tendo... and it stopped. The glass, the blood. But he kept sailing towards the monster. The monster began to panic, thrusting its arm forward again and again. He didn't know what it was trying to do, but Tendo connected and tackled the beast through a wall. Stunned, bleeding out, and panicking, Tendo collapsed. The monster, for some reason, ran away.
Over the next few days in the hospital, Tendo found that things were still absurdly slow. Nurses and doctors sounded like they were taking hours to have minute-long conversations. He got stressed, snapped at his family a bit, and felt bad about it. But later, was surprised that he had another visitor- the scientist from last night, a fairly pretty woman who gave her name as Dr. Rokuko. Amazingly, she was communicating with him at a normal rate! She explained that his time in the particle accelerator had exposed him to Velocity Power, particles of pure kinetic energy. But that was not the important part. She revealed that her labs had discovered that some atoms contained entire universes through long experimentation. After attempting to contact one of those universes, monsters began invading. These strange creatures, dubbed "Massiveroids" are capable of traversing atomic levels and invading foreign universes through something they call "Chikara Power." Their name comes from their startling ability- they can manipulate their own mass, causing space and time to warp! They use this power to reach out and conquer all they see before them. However, with their ability to warp space and time, it is impossible to strike against them... unless you have enough Velocity Power to unstick yourself from time. While the lab had been able to create a few particles of the strange force, it seemed that Tendo's body now naturally produced Velocity Power.
From downstairs, there was a commotion- the monster from earlier was roughing up the lobby. Though he was still wounded, and a doctor tried to stop him, he wasn't letting that thing hurt more people. Still in his hospital gown, he grabbed an IV rack and ran downstairs... Only to find out the dusty stairwells really hurt. He burst through a door, skidding to a stop before the monster. And then... it spoke.
"Ah... there you are! You really messed up our plans last night, man... but in the end, Spider-Bat always wins!"
Tendo tried to reply, but... well, super speed. "YoukeeptalkingbutallIhearisblahblahblahgodI'mugly."
"I... uh... what?" The monster muttered, scratching his head, before shrugging and throwing a chair at Tendo, who dived under it and jumped to try and put the beast in a chokehold. The monster thrust its hand forward again, and the chair stopped shortly before the creature threw Tendo through it. The monster slowly advancing on him, Tendo heard a shout from the stairs. Dr. Rokuko had... a big belt buckle? Whatever it was, it was currently floating lazily towards his head. But, given that this resembled a scene that was in a lot of TV shows from when he was a kid, Tendo ran up and grabbed the device, putting it on. A belt appeared around his waist... and a third voice joined the little conversation as a thumbs up and accelerator appeared on the belt in quick succession. The accelerator began spinning around like a clock winding down.
"Wowowow! That's a lotta Velocity Power, buddy! It's got me all fired up!"
"Okay, what the hell is going on?! Talking belts, superatomic universes, time's being weird for me, and... and..."
A question mark, followed by an exclamation point, appeared on the belt's display. "Still lagging behind, eh? That's alright, let me bring you up to speed! That is a Massiveroid, an evil invader from a superatomic universe! I am Mr. Belt, a military AI who'll be handling your equipment! And, as soon as you get Fired Up, you'll be Racer King- the hero who can fight the Massiveroids!"
"Fired Up? What does that even..."
The monster stomped the ground angrily, grabbing another chair and tossing it. "HEY! Are you ignoring me?!"
The belt piped up as Tendo was knocked backwards by the flying chair. "I'll explain later, but for now, just shout 'Fire Up' and do what a hero always does- protect people!"
"...Alright, Mr. Belt, but we're having a long conversation after this! FIRE UP!" Tendo shouted, throwing his arms back and punching the air in front of him.
"IGNITION! Racer Suit, Accelerate!" Mr. Belt shouted. In the physics lab, the particle accelerator roared to life, and a red suit launched through the walls at speeds great enough to pass through matter. Back in the hospital, Tendo felt a gust of powerful wind as a heavy suit of armor appeared around him.
"I... Velocity Power... Just who are you?!" The monster shouted, now wielding two chairs.
"Man, you're slow on the uptake! Mr. Belt, bring 'em up to speed."
"I hate to repeat myself, but he IS lagging behind... So! To recap: I am Mr. Belt, a Military AI! This is Racer King, a man with enough velocity power to move through a Supermass Zone! And you're going downtown!"
"Oh, I know this part," Tendo said, smiling under the helmet as he rushed forward, kicking the monster's shin.
"You are under arrest!" he rushed away, as the monster tossed a chair.
"The charges are-" catching the chair, winging it around to hit the monster in the face.
"-breaking and entering into the Kasoku City Physics Labratory!" he shouted with a a running punch to the gut.
"Two counts of attempted murder!" a kick to the chest.
"Assaulting an officer of the law!" a kick to the stomach.
"Destruction of public property!" And finally, a kick to the groin, causing the monster to crumple over.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to hire an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed by the court..."
That was the start of Tendo's life as Racer King. He now works as part of the Kasoku City PD's Special Crimes Unit, dealing with supervillains, ancient empires from beneath the earth's crust, and freaky cults in addition to typical crooks. He's also one of the more recent members of Choriki Action, serving as an arresting officer and resident speedster.
