Tamara Tybalt

Tamara Frances Tybalt (Codename: Instant Velocity) is a fictional character appearing in the OCVerse.

Tamara made her debut in 2016. Since her debut, she has been established as a centrally important character in the OCVerse, playing a prominent role in many stories and events. Often portrayed as a misguided, arrogant, and sometimes reluctant hero, Tamara's character growth over the years has been described as a coming of age.

Tamara Tybalt was born with the ability to run at incredible speeds, far beyond those the average mind can even comprehend. She grew up with a single mother; her father was supposedly killed in a car accident. She also has an brother, Thomas Tybalt, who possesses the same abilities of super speed. Tamara has gotten by in life using her super speed, relying on it to complete even the most basic task. At some point, she is convinced to use her gifts for an even greater purpose: to help people. She becomes the celebrated superhero Instant Velocity, though she is very reluctant at first.

Instant Velocity is an important figure in both the pre-reboot and rebooted OCVerse. Prior to the reboot, she was a high ranking member of the premier superhero group, then called the Mobius' Finest. She was a supporting character in Velocity Season 1, then promoted to the main character of Season 2, one of the focal characters of full length feature Timeless Fate, and is set to lead a younger team of rookie heroes in New Age Icons, a story set for a 2019 release.

Early Life
Born as a speedster, Tamara had naturally learned to run before she could walk. Just like her brother, she was always running. But while her brother had learned to slow down and get to the same speed as the rest of the world, Tamara had trouble doing so. She recalls her very early years as being lonely, with the rest of the world around her moving at a snail's pace. except... she had her father, the only person who could keep up with her. He helped her control and cope with her speed, it was a process but eventually they got there.
