Tyler Terry "Tee" Thompson was born to an ordinary middle-class family, living with his parents Thomas Thompson and Theresa Thompson (nee Tyler). Tyler is a good student and athlete, A martial arts flicks and "Buffy" fan this sparked interest in gymnastics and the martial arts, with him taking a black belt while attending high school. His life became marred by tragedy when a drunk driver and his parents crossed paths. After the funerals, the insurance paid off the modest home near the University which he shares with his hyper busy sister. Since the parents worked for the University, tuition is free or very low. He is a grad student in physiology having completed undergrad studies in rehabilitation therapy. He faculty adviser and favorite teacher is Professor Martin Van Buren, who has heard every joke already. The lab he studies/works at has a grant for some classified studies of SPBs(Super-Powered-Beings) trying to figure out what causes these "Superpowers". Tee needs low-level security clearance for this as he has access to government files on many SPBs, supervised by the Prof. His five-years older sister is completing her residency at the teaching hospital. He doesn't like being bound by schedules much so he works with a medical temp agency filling-in as needed and when he wants to. He also sometimes works at a martial sport studio (gymnastics and martial arts) and the occasional bit part in action shows/movies. With low expenses, he's reasonably well-off. His life went on until one fateful night ...

Tee locks the door to the Emerald Dragon Dojo closing it down for the day. A strange silver storm hits, and is followed by an explosion at the gas station causing havoc. He goes over to help and then is attacked by a supervillain. He heals quickly, too quickly, and soon discovers he has superpowers. In the course of the battle against the villains that appear he rescues the Professor who was at a party for his birthday. He grabs the Prof. and carries him away quickly to the dojo for safety. The Professor notices, before Tee does, that being carried away by someone at car speeds is a bit freaky. The Prof and Tee decide to keep this a secret for now. He grabs some lab goggles and his new helmet from his motor scooter and runs back to the dojo. He buys a box of Gis that he was sending back to the supplier because it was black with red trim rather than white with green. He put his improvised costume together and leaves locking the door. He notices that doing all that took a ridiculously short time. A bare few minutes after the silver storm hit, Breakneck is looking around his city seeing the havoc unfold, time to take action ...

Tee is tall, dark, and passably OK looking somewhat like a poor mans Tom Welling, and is well dressed in dark, usually black clothing. As Breakneck, he dresses in a dark, black and maroon martial arts outfit, with full head mask and "protective" goggles.

This is a basic idea of my character in costume:
