Oculus

Oculus was born in a distant galaxy, a member of the Elzanni, a race genetically engineered into beings of incredible power and beauty. When he was old enough, Oculus was sent to Earth to find and protect the recently-discovered descendants of a long lost member of his race. When his ship was close, he found the subjects of his mission, a Kyrgyzstani family named Dobirov. Even as his ship was destroyed by agents of The Stellar Imperium for passing through their space, Oculus managed to flee in an escape pod. Landing near his charges, Oculus befriended the Dobirovs and shortly thereafter fell in love with Katarina Dobirov, the family’s eldest daughter. The pair married but, before the newlyweds could celebrate their first anniversary together, Katarina was accidentally killed in an explosion arranged by corrupt members of the Kyrgyzstani army who feared Oculus and what he was capable of. He now lives in the grip of grief and guilt from that tragedy, but he has adopted the Dobirov family and protecting them is his goal in life, now more than ever. Oculus operates as a hero in the area surrounding the Dobirov family—and given his speed, that includes most of the country—and he’s incredibly effective, but due to his depression, he rarely engages with people, even if they’re reporters or the people he saves. It might be possible to rouse him from his current, depressive state to truly become a hero to the people, but that hasn’t happened yet.
