CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Kid Flash/Wally West
Canon: Young Justice (Animated) (coming from post-episode 21, "Image", so as to avoid end-of-season-one cliffhangers and such.)
Reference Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Justice_%28TV_series%29

Character History: One day Wally West, your average superhero-obsessed thirteen year old, discovered that his Uncle Barry was secretly his idol, The Flash! So he did the rational thing, and figured out the chemical formula that had given Barry his powers, and then blew up himself and his parents' garage reenacting the experiment. One trip to the hospital and some recovery time later, he discovered it worked! He had become the fastest teenager alive. A little bit of begging and bothering, and the Flash agreed to make him his sidekick: Kid Flash!

After two years of sidekicking it up alongside other heroes his own age, Kid Flash thinks he's going to become a part of the Justice League. After the disappointing reality that no, that's not going to happen, he and his friends directly disobey their mentors and accidentally wind up rescuing a clone of Superman. Rather than dangling them off a building by their ankles, Batman rewards the the teens with a team of their own: a "covert" team of teenage superheroes, intended to operate secretly while the Justice League continued the heroic fight in the public's eye.

Only they all really suck at stealth, so they wind up targetted by a group of villains known only as "The Light", whose motivations are pretty unclear, other than having a serious hate-on for teenagers in spandex, and a general distaste for justice and order.

Personality: Wally is, as you would expect from a speedster, a very high-energy person. He's enthusiastic and energetic in all aspects of his life he enjoys. Having spent his entire life idolizing superheroes, he's always thrilled to be in the spotlight as a hero himself. Even when it may seem otherwise, he always takes his duties as superhero seriously.

Obviously, having the skills at age 13 to recreate a chemistry experiment that would give him superpowers, Wally is a gifted scientist. Science is the one thing, aside from superheroing, that he is most passionate about, and he thinks everything in life can be explained, one way or another, through science. This, of course, puts him at odds with some of his teammates whose powers are based more in the realm of magic, because he cannot stand the idea that people would brush off a chance for scientific explanation to just say "oh, it's magic." Though after his dealings with Nabu and the Helmet of Fate, he's changed his tone a little... not that he'd ever admit it to anyone, because that would mean admitting he was wrong.

For all that Wally is incredibly intelligent, he can really be something of a dumbass sometimes. He tends to have something of an ego problem (though sometimes it's to cover up his own insecurities. He is a teenager, after all), and he's not the most tactful person you'll ever come across. Unfortunately, his mouth tends to move even faster than his brain, especially when it comes to attractive ladies. He can definitely go overboard with his flirting, and even though he thinks he's being sweet and charming, it can leave people feeling awkward. On top of that, he can be kind of, well, a grumpy dick sometimes. Luckily, he's a generally likable guy, so his friends forgive his social short-comings. It helps that he's trustworthy and reliable, and will always, always have his friends' backs.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called? Kid Flash!
02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform? It helps keep my feet from chafing? So uh, yeah, I guess.
03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking? ....Does sleeping count as mandatory silence? I mean, it's not like I talk constantly, but uh...
04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you? Nnnno? That would be kinda nuts...
05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate? Hmmm... I dunno, maybe a giraffe? It'd be cool to have a pet with a neck that long, right?
06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery? No? I mean, I don't like it, but I'd be a pretty bad hero if I couldn't cope with seeing people upset.
07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake? Uh, basically anything? Hands included. What can I say? I like cake.
08. Do you trust yourself? Uh, yeah, of course I do.
09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed. I'm a hero, we kinda, by definition, don't commit crimes.

Buuuut I might've "borrowed" some stuff from my uncle once... If that counts?
10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you? Oh yeah, tons of people.
