The son of a very rich and powerful crime family, and a scientific genius, made himself into a speedster & created time travel tech. He initially used his powers, as well as advanced tech to both make his family even more rich and powerful, and to entertain himself, but after his actions brought retaliation from his family's rivals that got his older brother killed, he turned to fighting crime, rather than committing it.
Personality
Dash is extremely curious and inquisitive by nature, as befits a smart young budding scientist. He can't leave a puzzle unsolved or a single stone unturned. This aids him greatly in his scientific investigations, but can cause him to become quite irritable if someone interrupts him when he's 'on a roll'. He's also extremely dedicated to study for it's own sake and the pursuit of knowledge, though he usually does all of this to further his own ends. He tends to be extremely friendly and loyal toward those he considers his friends, and can be ruthless towards his enemies.
Background
In the 30th century, the Xanders family was one of the richest and most powerful crime families in America. Though the youngest son, 14 year old Dashel, was more interested in science (especially temporal mechanics!) than the family business, he still felt an obligation to serve the family and make his parents proud. Toward this end, he used his considerable intellect to perform experiments on himself, using a combination of gene therapies and tachyon bombardment to give himself super-speed, as well as creating a device to enable him to travel through time. Then he finally joined the family business, using his powers and tech to make his family even more rich and powerful, as well as to further his own amusement. However, his actions eventually brought retaliation by one the Xander family's rivals, and Dash's older brother, Daniel, was killed as a result. This caused Dashel to re-evaluate his priorities, and he fled into the past. Now he fights crime, rather than committing it.
SKILLS
ATHLETICS - Expert: His superspeed has led him to hone his reflexes and agility out of necessity, and of course all of that running has put him in excellent shape!
MARTIAL ARTS - Novice: fighting, mostly because he relies more on his speed.
SCIENCE - Expert: Due to Dash's natural intelligence and willingness to study, he's quite adept at the sciences, most notably Temporal Mechanics, Hypertemporal Theory, & High Speed physics.
TECHNOLOGY - Expert: Dash's dedication to science has also transferred to technology. He's a to-rate gadgeteer, in fact most of his devices and weapons are home-made.
POWERS
AIR CONTROL - Enhanced: His speed allows Dash to manipulate air currents, temporarily creating strong gusts of wind, or even wind-barriers, to serve various useful purposes. However he can't use them to fly, or perform fine operations with them.
REGENERATION - Enhanced: Dash can heal from wounds and injuries, as well as things like poison, much quicker than a normal person, but due to the nature of his powers, this only works when he is running or vibrating.
SUPER SPEED - Supreme: Unlike most speedsters, Dash has no connection to the speed force. A combination of Gene therapies and tachyon bombardment has caused Dash's body to constantly replenish itself with tachyon particles. Dash can use those tachyons to create a temporal distortion field around himself, which allows him to temporarily phase out of normal time and move at incredible speeds.
VIBRATION - Enhanced: Due to the nature of Dash's powers, he can vibrate his body at variable speeds, as well as the ability to sense the vibrational frequency of objects around him. By matching his own vibrational frequency to those of other objects nearby- such as a wall- he can phase through them.
ADVANTAGES
GENIUS Dash is naturally quite intelligent, which he supplements with long periods of intense study. This has allowed him to excel at things like science and gadgetry, and has served him well during his criminal career.
TIMEJUMPY 5000 This is a wrist-worn time travel device that can create a bubble of linked chroniton particles around whoever is wearing the device. The bubble then transports the person inside it to a specified time & location nearly instantaneously.
WEAKNESSES
ARROGANCE Smart as he is, Dash tends to overestimate his abilities, which in turn leads him to underestimate the talents and abilities of others, which of course can have disastrous consequences.
DEPENDENT ON POWERS Because he relies on his speed and smarts more than anything else, he can be easily outfought by a tougher opponent if caught in a situation where his speed is neutralized.
IMPATIENCE Being a speedster, he has a tendency to become impatient at crucial moments, leading to errors in judgement.
METABOLISM Due to his sometimes heightened metabolism, Dash requires a higher caloric intake than most normal humans. Not meeting this requirement can meet with extreme fatigue and/or fainting.
