Character Origin and Backstory:

Origins [+]

Pietro and his twin sister Wanda were born to Sokovian business moguls Gregor and Daria Maximoff under stressful circumstances. Their delivery, due to mistakes on the doctor's part, led to their lives being in critical danger when they were just hours old. Renowned surgeon and scientist Von Strucker approached them shortly before the babies were expected to die, offering a miracle solution in return for an undisclosed sum of money (rest assured, it was ridiculously large) and custody of the children should anything happen to the Maximoffs. Daria was suspicious and reluctant, but the urgency of the situation made the couple capitulate and the children's lives were saved.

Up until the age of eleven, the twins had a happy, healthy and luxurious life. Pietro was an inquisitive boy, interested in tinkering and taking things apart. He worked on small robots and programming, having access to the knowledge of world class researchers and developers in the related fields. Wanda was his protector, sharper and intimidating even at a younger age, and already priming herself for the rule of their parents empire once she was eighteen. The only person who received her softer side was her beloved Pietro. The two of them were closer than anything, and it was to each other they clung at their father's funeral. Doctors had declared his death to be due to heart failure, but after his passing, their mother became paranoid. Giving up temporary control of their business, she went into hiding with the children. They lived in a small cabin deep within the Sokovian forest until one day, about a year later, she died of pneumonia.

Shortly after, the children met Von Strucker. He introduced himself as a distant uncle, estranged from their mother but eager to take care of his beloved sister's children. However, the fact that their meeting took place after they had been snatched from their cabin in the dead of night did little to inspire trust. For years, Von Strucker took relatively good care of them, but their loyalty remained exclusive to each other. From the age of fifteen, Von Strucker started doing certain medical tests on them. When they turned seventeen, the nightmare began. They were subjected to awful and excruciating experiments that left them mentally scarred over the course of six months. At the end, they had barely survived. Pietro discovered his super speed, but Wanda was left comatose for months afterward.He recuperated while she remained unconscious, and in that time his anger and hatred of Von Strucker grew. Once he was in good physical shape, he was put through all sorts of tests by Von Strucker to determine the extent and nature of his abilities. Many were gruelling, but nothing compared to what had made him. To this day, Pietro is even mildly grateful for the tests, as they were how he discovered most of his skills.
Wanda woke up some months later to find their roles reversed. Irreversibly physically weakened by her transformation,Pietro was now her protector. One night, after particularly painful tests had been conducted on Wanda, Pietro killed Von Strucker and the two of them escaped from his lair. Not so much a lair as a grand castle in the mountains where none ventured, but the name remains nonetheless.

The rest of his life [+]

Wanda intended to take over their parents' company, but all records of their existence had been destroyed and there was no proof with which she could do so. Instead, the two of them moved to New York. Pietro committed minor crimes in the name of making a living for him and his sister, but the unusual nature of the crimes brought them to the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., who contacted them in much the same way Von Strucker did. In return for a comfortable living and the kind of clothing that could stand up to Pietro's stop speeds, they performed peacekeeping duties for shield under the names of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. They usually worked together, but on the only occasion they didn't, Wanda was killed on duty in Asia. Pietro, distraught and furious, blamed S.H.I.E.L.D. for their negligence and severed ties with them. He's still on their radar, and has reverted back to his mildly criminal life after tracking down the killers of his sister and eliminating them. Right now, he's a man without a mission. He lives in an unofficially unoccupied penthouse, where he works on his technical pursuits, and occasionally his sexual ones as well. Rarely, though.

Abilities: Pietro moves and thinks multiple times faster than any human. Currently he moves about five times faster than the speed of sound at his top speed. Experiments he's conducted on himself have enabled him to resist effects of friction, oxygen deprivation, and sudden impacts at high speeds. This also means that he's stronger and far more resistant that the average human. Time seems to go much more slowly for him, resulting in extremely quick reflexes and his impatient and abrasive personality. At high speeds, it even seems to stop, affording him immense advantages in his fights. Although not gifted, he's a highly competent programmer, and has made himself an expert on genetics and physics.

Story Arc 1: Eventually goes back into active service with S.H.I.E.L.D, but discovers that his abilities are deteriorating and taking him with them. Becomes a sort of quest to stay alive, with or without his powers.

Story Arc 2: Decides that Wanda would have wanted more for him, tries to become a hero. Here he would be a possible founder of the Avengers, trying to save the world from evil in general with his sister as a motive.

Story Arc 3: Pursuing his scientific side more, he comes up with an efficient way to reverse DNA damage and restore it. Deciding that heroes are more curse than cure, he takes it upon himself to get rid of the worst offenders. Target one: The Hulk.

Sample Post: Pietro stood in front of the flat screen TV, watching part of New York City be destroyed by Bruce Banner. Or the Hulk, more accurately, although he didn't see much point in distinguishing between the two. He'd considered for a moment going to join the two figures who had eventually managed to subdue him, although his motivation was just the desire for a fight. He could hear Wanda telling him to do something with himself, anything other than what he was currently doing, which was nothing. He didn't need to work to keep his luxurious penthouse- S.H.I.E.L.D. had that covered, electricity bills, damages and all. He had no desire to stop old ladies being mugged or to carry out missions as he once had. No, it was much easier to do nothing. Staring at the TV, he recognized Loki, but didn't understand presence the feminine Thor or the small Hispanic girl who fought with her. To focus on them, they seemed rather heroic, but all Pietro could notice was the destruction that only worsened as the woman Thor focused her attentions on Loki with a look of fury. He hit his forehead in disbelief as they crashed into an office building. People were most likely in there, not that concern had been shown.

Sighing, he turned the TV off and turned to face the rest of his cluttered apartment. Surfaces. Surfaces everywhere. He had desks nearly everywhere, with different computers on each and papers nearly drowning them. He'd gotten rid of the bed in his room months ago, needing space for yet another table and another computer. He'd set up a holographic one in the second living room, and connected it to all the others. Some of the computers had work that was months old, and as such, obsolete and completely wrong.

Other: I can't add pictures at the moment because internet issues but for appearance reference Quicksilver from Avengers: Age of Ultron.
