Overview
Velocious is a Millennium City superhero, dedicated to protecting and serving its citizens. PRIMUS possesses his private information, but it remains undisclosed as a highly confidential profile. He is loved by the inhabitants of Millennium City and respected by his fellow superheroes.
His nemesis Roadkill is always attempting to wreak havoc wherever he goes, and ironically, Velocious has a hard time catching up with him.
Background
He was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on November 29, 1991, to a middle-class family. His parents, Nestor and Vladimira, got divorced when he was just two years old, and a year later his father remarried an American woman, relocating to the United States of America. He spent most of his childhood and early teens with his mother, who held a high-ranking position at an international company.
When he was 16, his mother joined a church that was characterized for being unnervingly fanatical. Their relationship deteriorated, and he moved with his paternal grandfather, Frederick, a retired soldier, as soon as he finished high school. On a fateful December night, while Ernest's mother was attending service, the pastor of the church was exposed as a fraud and was about to be arrested, but instead of surrendering to the authorities, he decided to detonate a bomb. Ernest's mother was among the casualties. The event simply served to sway Ernest in the direction of agnosticism.
His father, on the other hand, was a successful computer engineer who worked at an international cybersecurity company, spending most of his time traveling around the world. Regardless, Ernest spent every summer with his father.
Ernest's grandfather instilled in him the values of hard work and dedication, incentivizing him to study the world around him, and through his influence, Ernest decided to acquire a Bachelor's Degree in International Relations. His father used his connections to get him a scholarship at a renowned American university for an MPA.
There, his brilliance garnered the attention of his professors along with the disdain of some of his classmates. Still, even with all his school merits, Ernest felt a deep emptiness in his heart, for all he did seemed of little relevance to him. His goal was to be able to leave his mark on Earth, making it a better place somehow, but it was not an easy task for the powers that be were alienated from the public interest.
Trying to keep himself distracted from his overthinking mind, he decided to engage in weightlifting, HEMA, and Jeet Kune Do classes. He developed an athletic build and became very adept in physical combat.

Trying to keep himself distracted from his overthinking mind, he decided to engage in weightlifting, HEMA, and Jeet Kune Do classes. He developed an athletic build and became very adept in physical combat.
Origin Story
After acquiring a scholarship to complete his Master's Degree in Public Administration Ernest Ricart left his native Dominican Republic to study in the United States of America. He used his spare time to partake in different physical activities, including weight training as well as practicing HEMA and Jeet Kune Do.
One night, he was invited by a friend who was making some advancements with her team on a free energy generator following the notes of a great inventor, as they tried to generate alternative means of generating electricity to cover the ever-growing demand for it. After his friend gave him a tour around the lab and explained how the machine worked, something went wrong. During the demo, the machine surged with electricity and started to malfunction, delivering strong currents all over the room. Most of the scientists present were knocked to the ground, paralyzed as the voltage kept rising, going out of control. However, Ernest, standing close to the generator, was asked to hit the emergency button. He struggled to reach it, and when he finally did, it came to a halt, or so it seemed. Suddenly, it exploded, and the blast hit Ernest head-on.
He should have died, but was surprised to find himself at the central hospital, alive and well. The doctors told him he was unconscious for a whole week, and strangely enough, his wounds healed at an extraordinary rate to the point at which it seemed nothing had happened to him. They wanted to run more tests on him, but feeling uneasy, Ernest ran. Little did he know he had also acquired superhuman speed, for when he realized, Ernest was already reaching the state border.
Astonished, he turned to the lab scientists where the incident had happened for help. After studying his newly acquired abilities, they determined that he produced a protective field around his body that guarded him against the harm of friction. They made a special suit for him and helped him have a better understanding of his powers.
A a new hero was born. At first, he went by the name Hypersonic, but after meeting another hero who had been running around with the same name and similar powers, he changed it to Velocious.
After acquiring American citizenship, he moved to Millenium City. Now, he fights crime in “the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”.
Current Private Life
After some leaks of information happened at the lab the accident that gave him his powers, Ernest was required to sign up for the American Superhuman and Paranormal Registration Act (ASPRA), which he did willingly because, as he put it, "they already know". Ironically, he was also offered a position as an intelligence analyst and case officer. Seeing as he was already a permanent resident thanks to his father doing the paperwork when Ernest was younger, he accepted the job, and the process for acquiring his American citizenship was sped up. Thus, he received more combat training and improved his knowledge of the use of firearms.
Currently, through the information, gathered while crime-fighting, he files intelligence reports and gives counsel on the possible solutions to the identified threats. Sometimes, he is also sent to work on the field, a job that has a decent enough salary to afford a loft in a lovely area of Millennium City and pay the bills.
With the amazing life of a superhero and a wonderful position in his field of expertise, Ernest is finally satisfied with his current affairs.
