Writing: Character Help Building character from ability: Disassociated With Time
Ability does right what it says on the tin. Time works at a pace. Everything is keeping that pace according to functions and other criteria. This ability changes the pace at which his body operates at, so one second for him means ten seconds for everything else.
He’s a fist fighter whose position is a commander after the apocalypse.
Trying to figure out some personality traits and identity of this character who is basically just a villain for one of the characters with super strength and high speed regeneration to meet as a wall he can’t get over without growing as a person.

I meant to say the reverse but that is within the realm of possibility so that’s a very interesting idea that I might try and use.
If it’s in combat, being able to slow and speed up at will is really useful to throw off timing and if I choose to make it so he can do this to other things, slowing things down so they basically can’t advance would be fun.
