Age: 26
Physical Appearance: Here

World Description: http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/The_Flash

History/Background: http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/Barry_Allen

Noteworthy Positive Characteristics:

• Determination - Barry is a driven young man. When he was eleven, he saw his mother killed by a mysterious man wrapped in yellow lightning. His father went to jail for the crime, but Barry knew he was innocent. He spent the rest of his school years and college training to become a CSI, both to free his father and to exonerate others wrongfully incarcerated.


• Courage - By the age of eleven Barry had already seen more than a child should ever have to witness, but he let this horror compel him to do good. He doesn’t back down from a fight or a struggle, especially when someone else’s well being is on the line. He has fought foes that could almost defy imagination to keep Central City safe, and has arranged to sacrifice his life for the greater good more than once, though thankfully that never came to pass. Growing up small and bookish, he’s learned to stick up for himself against greater foes, and that hasn’t changed now that he’s the Flash facing down giant gorillas and sharks that walk on land.


• Curiosity - Barry is a scientist. His chosen path of science was shaped by his mother’s death, but though his line of work is in a macabre field, it’s one he never would have been able to pursue if he didn’t love the science behind crime scene investigation. Barry loves to learn and to examine, and even after all the wonders he’s seen he believes the world still has so much more to explore.


• Optimism - Despite all that’s happened to him, Barry has a remarkable ability to see the best in people and in the world itself. He’s seen far too much death and been betrayed by close friends more than once, but Barry has never become bitter. He continues to believe that the world deserves to be saved from the evils within it, and he believes that with his powers, he has a duty to be a part of that. He has doubts, but he also has hope, and for him it’s so much more powerful than fear.


• Loyalty - Once a person has befriended Barry, they have a friend for life. Barry will work tirelessly to make another person happy, and this doesn’t require a romantic interest on his part. He is extremely devoted to both his birth family and to his foster family, as well as to his “lab” friends who make up Team Flash.

Noteworthy Negative Characteristics:

• Stubbornness - On the flipside of Barry’s determination and courage is stubborness. He believes strongly in what he’s doing, so strongly that it can be difficult to reason with him when his mind is set. At times the knowledge that he’s the most powerful member of his team goes to his head, and he has trouble listening to reason coming from someone he believes doesn’t support his end goals.


• Recklessness - Likewise, Barry’s optimism and courage can lead to recklessness. Barry might be a scientist who believes in a reasoned approach, but he’s also naturally impulsive, and often hurls himself into danger without stopping to find a way that keeps everyone safe, the Flash included.


• Selfishness - Barry would like to think he’s a person who only wants good in the world, but when some of that good doesn’t fall on Barry he can become listless, even bratty until he gets himself in check. When, after years of fighting to prove his father’s innocence and Henry Allen is finally free, Barry is despondent when his father wants to leave Central City and reclaim his freedom elsewhere. When Henry is killed, Barry is so destroyed that he willingly erases an entire timeline to get him back, allowing his grief to overrule his knowledge of what that could do to everyone else he loves.


• Appetite - This is purely physical characteristic, but Barry’s metabolism requires him to eat an extraordinary amount of calories a day just to remain conscious. On a normal day of work followed by patrol as the Flash, Barry’s body require twenty thousand calories. This can be difficult to supply if you don’t have an in with the pizza place around the corner.

Powers/Abilities: Barry’s powers are ever evolving, but at the time he leaves canon his primary abilities are all the result of the Speed Force, an extra-dimensional energy force that gives speedsters their powers. The Speed Force allows him to run at incredible speed and also gives him an accelerated rate of healing. He can run so fast, in fact, that he can go back in time. Barry can vibrate his molecules at a rate that allows him to phase through objects, and can modify his voice by vibrating his vocal chords. He can also move his arms at a rate that creates a vortex, and he can harness the Speed Force to throw thunderbolts. He has also recently learned to create phantom doubles of himself by moving quickly between two positions. Barry’s powers might be affected by the dimensions of a space station - without sufficient room to run, Barry won’t be able to create the energy it takes to go back in time, for example.

Character Fears: Barry’s most pressing fear is losing those he cares about. He’s lost his father and his mother. He’s lost the love of his love’s life, which might sound strange, but knowing that Iris lost her fiance to a danger that Barry wasn’t able to stop eats at him. Every day he worries that he’ll lose his foster father too. Joe is a detective and in a dangerous line of work, but Barry is there for him as much as he’s able.

Personal Item: Barry would come with his Flash suit, which is made with a special polymer that resists friction - aka he won’t burst into flames from running too fast.
