High-Gear

While rocking out to her favorite band at an outdoor concert, local teen Taylor Dolin caught a glimpse of a shooting star streak across the sky and crash into a nearby forest. Realizing she was the only one who saw it, Taylor made her way out of the concert in order to see if she could find the fallen object. After stumbling through the woods for hours, the young girl finally found what she was looking for, a glowing crater in the middle of a clearing. Curiously she moved closer and discovered that sitting at the bottom of the crater was a pair of boots. Fixated on them, she made her way into the cooling crater and grabbed them, their metal polish already cool to the touch. Overwhelmed with curiosity, she slipped them over her feet and the world became a blur.

Moving throughout the city in a matter of seconds, Taylor realized that the boots have given her super speed. (Obviously). Overjoyed, she pushed herself to her limits as she ran circles around bystanders and cars. It didn't take long for her to realize though, that as fast as she was, she couldn't slow down. The mysterious boots she had found had locked her in a state of incredible speed. She did everything she could to get them off, but nothing worked. Her mind raced at a million miles an hour, to her, the world moved at a snails pace. After what seemed like years of thinking, she finally decided to use her gift to help others, and became the hero you see today.

Ever heard of Tranquil Fury? High-Speed runs on Aggravated Serenity. Living at 2500 Frames per Second has given her lifetimes to think everything out. Meaning Taylor has come to terms with everything she's become. Everything she's done. And everyone she's met. This doesn't mean she's peaceful though. She still moves and thinks around 400 times faster than the average person, so life is one giant held up line at the grocery store for her. And it's annoying.

A pair of high-tech boots of unknown origin and design, these exotic pieces of footwear grant Taylor extraordinary speed based powers. Unfortunately, the boots are damaged and beyond repair. Meaning that they never deactivate, and can not be removed. Leaving Taylor as a permanent blur to the people around her. The list of abilities she gains from the boots include:

     Super Speed:

High-Gear's boots allow her to run at super human speeds, far surpassing any man-made vehicle or device. With enough speed she's able to easily run across non-solid surfaces like water.

     High-Speed Perception:

Along with speed, High-Gear's boots have cranked her mind and body into over-drive. Her body is at such a high constant rate of movement, she sees the world around her as moving near a stand-still.

     Super Reflexes:

A side-effect of her accelerated perception, High-Gear can see, and avoid threats faster than others. Giving her super human reflexes.

     Enhanced Regeneration:
