If this gets approved in a day, I'll be dropping Scott.
Screen Name: Johnny Blaze
Character you would like to play: Wallace "Wally" West, aka The Flash
Powers: Wally's direct connection to the Speed Force allows him to travel at speeds that defy logic. Wally's body is surrounded by a invisible energy barrier while he runs that protects him from the rigors of traveling at a super speed. This field also protects those he carries.
Wally can also use his connection to vibrate his molecules fast enough to go invisible and intangible. Objects he passes through when phasing can be made to explode if he so chooses.
Wally is also able to steal the kinetic energy of an object, thus slowing it down.
Brief biography of the character's history: Gaining his powers through an accident, much like his Uncle Barry Allen did, Wally joined Barry as the Kid Flash. Their partnership was a dynamic one, as they cleaned up the streets of the twin cities. But the team did not last, as the two argued and Wally left the life of a costumed hero behind. When Barry died defending the planet against Galactus, Wally decided to take up his mentor's mantle, becoming the new Flash.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I love all things Flash, and Wally is my favorite Scarlet Speedster. That is all.
What can you bring to this game?: Experience in RPing.
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Red, comic sans; bolded for when he's in costume
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I ****ing feel like posting.
Please provide a sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 5 paragraphs long and contain at least 3 line of dialogue):
The sun shined brightly down onto the twin cities of Keystone and Central. The bustling city was a working man's place, rivaling Detroit for it's impact in automotive manufacturing. Here all manner of vehicles were built and could be seen around the metropolis. From the crawling VW Bug, to the speed-born Lamborghini. But no car could compare the Flash, the Fastest Man Alive.
A red blur weaved it's way through the Keystone streets, deftly moving through the traffic and pedestrians clogging the streets and sidewalks. Wallace West, known affectionately as "Wally", was the latest to don the guise of the twin cities' scarlet protector. Following in the footsteps of his Uncle, Barry Allen, and original Scarlett Speedster, Jay Garrick. Always feeling the need to prove himself able to follow in his Uncle's footsteps, Wally signed up with the Avengers when the opportunity arose. He thought they'd be able to do some good in the world, despite Luthor's involvement.
He was wrong.
Instead of saving lives, he was party to near genocide. Khandaq was annihilated. There was no other way to describe it. After that, Wally knew that he had made a big mistake. But it was a realization that came to late. Leaving the team, the Flash returned to his roots...to the Twin Cities. With the Khandaq disaster still fresh in his mind, Wally now returns to focus on the basics: protecting his home town from the Rogues.
And it was a job in which Wally was always on call.
The explosion echoed through the city streets, everybody within earshot freezing in fear. The world seemed to suddenly stand still for the Flash, as the sound of the blast made him instinctively kick it into high gear.
Wally made his way through the frozen crowd, on his way to the billowing smoke that seemingly hung eerie in the air, like a black mist.
Never a good sign.
The Flash arrived on the scene to find a man about to hit the pavement after being flung from the exploding building. Wally carefully grabs the man and runs him to a safe distance. Returning to the fiery scene, Wally stops as the world suddenly catches back up. The smoke streams up into the afternoon sky and the flames dance wildly in the breeze. Inside he can see a shadow moving around inside the fire. The shadow gets larger and larger as it moves towards him, and Wally can finally see a figure standing just beyond the wall of flames. Casually stepping out with a metal box under his arm, the villain frowns when he sees the Scarlett Speedster lying in wait.
"Ok", Wally says with a raised eyebrow,
"and who the hell are you supposed to be?"
