Personality Profile: Hayden is a man of unshakable resolve. His world views come from a hodgepodge sources: science-fiction novels, movies, media, and the internet. He fully believes in 2012 end of the world theories, and is equally outspoken on other matters.
Physical Description: Hayden certainly doesn't appear to be a young man. His face shows the years it has apparently been through; crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, laugh lines around his mouth, and just an apparent 'I'm not young' appearance. He dresses fairly well although monochromatically, but maintains a casual air. He wears a watch on either wrist, but only one of them ticks away the time.
---------------------------------
Powerset: Self-preservation
Ability One: Healing - Hayden has the ability to rapidly heal wounds. Practice has given him great control of this ability; he has learned to localize it on specific spots of his body, effectively, efficiently, and quickly reversing injuries and maladies.
Ability Two: Speed - Hayden has the ability to increase his speed manifold, able to cross great distances in extremely little time.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses:
Healing: Hayden's healing ability only works on himself. Being able to heal himself so fully seems to come at the price of his age; each use advances his age, even if unnoticably.
Speed: As with his healing ability, increasing his speed seems to advance Hayden's apparent age.
Projected Power Growth & Development: None
Skills: Mix-and-match martial arts; ambition
Background: Son of watchmaker and Arbutus co-founder Albert Reed, Hayden grew up surrounded by the ticking of clocks. Although his father retired not long after Hayden was born, he found himself drawn into the business, fascinated with the machinations, the intricate inner workings, and the precision. Although always unconsciously active, Hayden didn’t come to realize his control over his own 'healing' until he reached the age of thirteen, where a hit-and-run that should have (and to observers, did) killed him, instead left him ultimately unharmed. He spent the following formative years experimenting and playing with his ability, realizing the payment he had to make with each use.
Hayden didn't grow up a moneyed individual - his father refused to allow him to rely on family for a source of income. So to meet his needs, he took any odd job he could find - not all of them exactly legal, finding his abilities particularly suited for these activities. Lucrative endeavors all, but they've left him with a bit of a rap sheet. Through the purchased assistance of a selective few vague acquaintances, he has not only learned a smattering of several fighting styles, as well as other skills.
Criminal Record: Minor assault and thefts.
Quirks, Extras, Random Character Facts: Wears a watch on either wrist, only one of which runs.
