Tempest (Marcus Gowens)

## History

Rezlo is considered among the strongest mortals in the universe and he's known to be one of its greatest protectors. Ray allied with the United States Space Force to help protect earth from potential dangers alongside Dayguard, a group of heroes with unique abilities. Ray prefers to keep his identity on earth secret while undergoing his Vulcan name, Rezlo. Due to crises across the universe, Rezlo reluctantly left earth to help. He now works with the Stellar Knights, who travel throughout the universe to help stop planetary threats. Rezlo still values earth as his rightful home and visits on occasion.

### Origin

Born a pure blood Vulcan, Ray Benjamin Gowens is the adoptive son to Cassandra and Joe Gowens. Planet Vulca is Ray's birth place, but raised in Tampa, Florida. Throughout his early years, Ray had it tough. Bad grades, difficult social life, and a miserable future. After graduating high school, His parents moved to Philippines while Ray stayed in Florida. He lives alone and works at a fast food restaurant to help pay his rent.

After his girlfriend cheated on him, Ray has been fired due to his lack of performance at work. Ray's depression overwhelmed him and he decided to buy alcohol from his local gas station. The cashier was threatened by a robber at gun point, Ray was fed up with his incompetence and mustered up the courage to try and stop the armed robber but was shot down.

The lethal injuries forced the power suppressor within Ray to deactivate to save him. While in the hospital, his wounds healed in 2 days. Not only that, Ray felt extraordinary. His senses were extremely sensitive; he was able to hear every minute sound within miles, hundreds of different smells arouse his nose, and see colors invisible to the human eye. The density of his body was so immense, He sank through the hospital bed and nearly through the floor. Ray bolted out of the hospital building and flees from the city, isolating himself in the woods.

Ray recalls every memory from birth in detail, including his departure from Planet Vulca and his biological parents leaving him on earth.

## Personality

During his early years, Ray was bullied, harassed, and alone due to his anxieties. He has been looked down as weak and useless. His parents greatly cared for Ray and his condition, but even psychiatrists could not cure him from his anxieties. Although he does not show it, Ray is a considerate and selfless person. After awakening his Vulcan powers, Ray finally puts his personal anxieties aside and tries the best of his ability to protect the innocent and prioritizes their safety.

His temper sometimes gets the best of him and can ignore the consequences. Ray often underestimates his opponents and can get too arrogant. During battles, he only kills when it's absolutely necessary.

Without using bioelectricity to lighten their weight, Vulcans can weigh up to several tons and can easily crush their surroundings with the slightest movements. Rezlo's entire body is enhanced at the genetic level, enabling his physical health to be constantly optimal. Like humans, some Vulcans are more physically capable than others. Their abilities depend on the Vulcan's experience, body development, and willpower. Rezlo was born into a powerful heritage, making him superior than average Vulcans.
	+ **Bioelectric Aura:** Every organism has their own bioelectricity, however Vulcans are born with massive amounts of it. Vulcans have adapted to harness and manipulate their bioelectric aura to help control their abilities and prevent destruction around them. This aura is limited and can be overexerted similar to anaerobic exercise. The source of energy is mainly fueled by absorbing various types of heat, primarily solar radiation.
		- **Flight:** By manipulating his bioelectric aura, Rezlo can create his own leverage and freely maneuver through space. Most vulcans learn to fly during childhood and uses it as a means of traveling. However, some vulcans fly faster and further than others. Rezlo is regarded as one of the fastest beings in Vulca, due to his immense bioelectric aura.

**Skilled Combatant:** Rezlo has showcased numerous times that he is quite a formidable opponent in pure combat. After losing his powers, Valkyrie has taught him a few martial arts lessons in order to defend himself.

### Weaknesses

**Power Suppressor:** Rezlo's biological parents implemented a power suppressor into his body in order for him to live alongside humanity without causing problems. This suppressor was deactivated after receiving a fatal bullet wound, causing his natural abilities to resurface.

**Aglarian Virus:** Used to weaken Vulcans and eliminate their powers. It was used in Rezlo's power suppressor that was implemented in him when he was an infant. It takes several weeks for Vulcans to fully recover from contact with the Aglarian Virus.
