VEREN LYNN.

biography.

when his mother had gotten pregnant with veren, it had been an accidental pregnancy, something which his parents made veren feel often growing up in ireland. not that his childhood was all bad, but it was often filled with poor parenting in terms of both of his parents drinking a lot, and not really taking the time to teach veren the things children should be taught, such as right and wrong, etc. unless he did something that directly affected them, they would usually let things slide. at the age of 15, veren's parents and him moved to the US after his mother got a job offer there, and their father managed to land a job there as well.

only barely getting through high school, veren was sentenced to a mandatory temporary stay at a psychiatric clinic in order to work on his violent tendencies while in his late teens, after being found guilty of assaulting another student and doing vandalism. a section within vought working on experimenting with compound v, hoping to stabilize it for use on older individuals than just infants, used their influence to have veren sent to their own facility at sage grove center, under the guise of being such a psychiatric clinic, where he was then locked away and experimented on through injections of compound v and careful monitoring and testing.

veren was one of the fortunate ones to not experience any negative side effects, and the power he gained was one of time manipulation. however, the power was weak at first and would take time to develop, so despite his wishes to leave, he was forced to stay, and unable to make any successful attempts at escaping, as his powers were still limited. when the boys eventually infiltrated the facility, however, veren was one of several supes who escaped.

abilities.

• TIME MANIPULATION: veren has a somewhat limited ability to manipulate time. he can rewind time for about 10-15 minutes before he starts to get physically exhausted, and he can pause time for pretty much as long as he wants without it having any negative effects...as of yet, he's not aware of it, but the more he learns to use his abilities and practices using them, the more he'll be able to use his powers without getting exhausted, and with enough training, he'll be able to do more things with his powers than just rewind or stop time, such as fast-forwarding time, or control time only on certain things or people, such as pausing time only for one person, or rewinding time for only one person, which can be useful for erasing their memories of something recent happening, etc. with enough training, veren could even learn to use his powers to keep his own body from aging, or alternatively, age faster, or reverse his aging, as well as do the same with others. this aspect of his power could also be used to "undo" / "heal" any injuries or illnesses by reversing the time of his or others' bodies to before said injury or illness took place. in other words, unless veren is immediately killed, he could quickly heal himself as if he never was injured in the first place, although this will be verse dependent as it takes him a little time to figure this out.
