Powers / Abilities









(List as many as you need)









Super Speed - It is the reason why he is called "The Flash" Having super speed means that Barry can run at 50-100 times faster than a normal human can. This also means that his metabolism speeds up at the same rate.





Particle Dispersion - The Flash can single out his molecules and is able to deconstruct objects from within by vibrating at an incredible speed.





Phasing - He has the ability to phase through solid objects by vibrating at the same frequency as the object.





Time Travel - To an extent, Barry has the ability to travel through time by running at max speed, this however takes a great toll to his body, mentally and physically.











Weaknesses









(List as many as you need)









Humanity - Even with Barry's speed, he is unlike Superman who is indestructible. In other words, whatever can kill a normal human being can kill him as well.

Audition post









The wind felt more like hot scalding water as Barry desperately raced his heart out. It was never usually like this for the Scarlet Speedster, it was always a rare occasion when his mind worked faster than his body. "Dammit." he cursed under his breath, his legs slamming against the pavement as hard as he could. Every now and then, whatever he was stepping on, changed. Asphalt, Grass, Dirt, Water, you name it. The Flash didn't even realize, through the heat of the moment, that he already got past three states in a matter of minutes. Ahead of him was Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, smiling at him with the most condescending smile anyone could give a person.

"What's wrong Flash? Can't keep up?" The Reverse-Flash flashed him a grin, angering Barry even more.  Unfortunately the more Barry tried to catch up, the more he felt like he was lagging behind. 

The Scarlet Speedster blinked, as soon as he did, Eobard had disappeared. "What the-" a blaze of yellow and red struck him from the side, the momentum and speed of the punch would've killed a normal human being, fortunately for Flash, he was running at the same velocity, effectlively causing it to feel like a regular running punch. It still hurt like hell. His body flew off into a patch of corn field. Great. He struggled to get up on his feet, quickly glancing left and right, readying himself for another attack. 

"Heads up, Flash!" a yell came from his left, Eobard cam rushing at him, ready with his arms up high. Barry was prepared and moved out of the way at an incredibly fast rate. "WHERE IS SHE THAWNE!?" he yelled in anger, anger with a mix of pain. "WHERE DID YOU TAKE HER YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!?" Barry was never one to yell and lose his composure, but deep inside he knew the Reverse-Flash crossed the line. 

Eobard screeched to a halt and smiled. He laughed, a devious, cunning, and almost frightening laugh that sent a sense of doom in Barry's spine. "You think I would just give the answer away?" his voice smart, calculated, not to mention deceiving. "After so much effort of running back in time, only to lose it all to you?" he gave a thought in his words, dropped the grin. "AGAIN!?" Thawne yelled as he lost his composure. The Reverse-Flash zoomed his way towards his nemesis, anger and hate evident in his eyes. "I WILL NOT GIVE YOU YOUR MOTHER BACK FLASH!" his voice almost cracking from the anger he exerted. "She will rot and die alone..." he smiled once again "...Along with the dinosaurs!"

No, no, no. He was bluffing. He had to be. There was no way in hell Thawne would go as far as to put his mother back in the Jurassic era. Barry's heart sank as he thought about the woman he loved the most, alone, scared, running for dear life. A tear rolled across his mask, running past his opponent, desperate to find an answer, anything would do. Star Labs could help, the Justice league could help. No. This was something he had to do on his own. But what about the consequences? The butterfly effects that would occur might be too much for the world. A flashpoint 2.0 if you will. Barry stopped running, knelt on his knees and took a swing at the earth beneath him. "THAAAAAWNE!!!" he screamed, louder than he ever did before. His heart broke and drove him near insanity, rushing after the man who caused all this. Just then the world plunged into darkness. Barry passed out.

He awoke to find himself tied to a chair, a weird type of machinery hung on his head, wires dangled from it. The room was dark and smelled like rotten food and manure. "Where....where am I?" he wondered, his vision blurry. 

"I...hope you like....my invention....speedster." an unnerving grunt came from the darkness. "I...like to call...it...the mind machine." clichë. A soft grumble grew louder, and Barry had no choice but to lay motionless, for his head spiraled and gave him an insane vertigo. "It...shows you your worst...fear.....your worst...nightmare." the voice grew louder as a silhouette of a beast came to shape. Grodd.

You did not provide that URL.

I see powers for the Flash. You explain them well in your own terms, however I would appreciate seeing some of Barry's traits.

i.e. forensic training

I think Barry has more than one weakness other than humanity. Keep thinking of what his villains hate about him. I know you can see that in your post! I do enjoy your post. I think we see a little too much of zoom, but that's okay. I play Felicity Smoak so let me know if you would like to talk!

Like Looker said above, the activity policy is important, read it over and then link it.

Your application is very difficult to concentrate on reading due to the enormous spaces between everything, go back through and fix it then I'll give it another run through.

Why did you post your application twice? If one of them needs to be deleted, either this or the other, please inform us so we can make sure we're looking at the correct application and commenting on it.

Why did you only apply for E1? Any particular reason?

Also in your time line, if you're going to use other canon characters you need to make sure they're willing to go along with your canon story. If you need to talk to the writers of these other characters, let us know so we can point you in the right direction.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to apply to DCU. The two people above me have already mentioned the activity policy, but before committing to playing DCU you should be sure to read it then link it to verify you've read it so there are no surprises.

1. Your application makes me a bit weary. The powers and abilities, equipment, training, all of it seems for lack of a better term rushed and half hearted. I'd take the time to reconsider how you could better describe them, which ones you're missing and how you want them to be implemented.

2. Your weaknesses are severely lacking, as V stated Barry has several issues that people can and do use against him on a constant basis, I'm gonna want to see them listed and explained in your own words. 

3. The timeline looks good to me, to be honest I'm a bit lax on that as I prefer things to kind of go with the flow as opposed to planning them out, though having a good outline can be useful.

4. You seem very focused on the abilities he possesses as the Flash, but Barry relies on more than his speed to handle situations, i'd consider what he relies on when going back over his training and powers and abilities section. 

5. I like to end things on a positive note. The post was well written though I almost felt like I was reading more about Reverse Flash than I was Flash, I'd have liked to see how Barry reacted after waking up in the 'Mind Machine.' Being completely honest, this application has a ways to go before I'll consider approving it. If you'd like to discuss somethings with me or here more directed feedback, just let me know. Best of luck.
