CHARACTER
Name: Wally West (Kid Flash)
Canon: Young Justice
Timeline: Season 1, Episode 20
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

Wally West a 16 year-old superhero, a speedster who is a member of the original Young Justice team. He is often portrayed as the clown in the group. He's quite flashy (no pun intended) and enjoys putting on a show and being the center of attention. He's always the first to make lighthearted comments during missions, trying to lighten the mood with jokes. Even though he's popular, it's not at all in the 'football-player-that-all-girls-want-to-date' way - he's funny, silly and sometimes ridiculous, so he stands out and is usually a very well-liked guy because of it.

To go with his superpower, Wally is hot-blooded and hot-headed. He is very impatient for most things, which shows on many of their missions; often he is instructed to wait but he decides to go for it before getting the figurative green light. This sort of reckless nature and impulsive behavior often gets him, and consequently the rest of the Team, into trouble. For instance, during one of their first missions, Kid Flash ignores Aqualad's order to stand down and moves in to help Robin, and consequently the three of them end up getting captured - even though afterwards the rest of the team rescues them.

In spite of his goofy nature, Wally's pretty smart, and has a lot of scientific knowledge. During the third episode, he easily recognizes Speedy's polyurethane foam that is used against Brick, and the following episode he is easily capable of analyzing the chemical combination of Bane's Venom drug, Kobra-Venom. Wally's a firm believer of science, and therefore rejects any possibility of magic as anything other than really advanced science. His beliefs are put to a test when during a mission to stop Abra Kadabra and Klarion, two magic users, he is forced to put on the Helmet of Fate, which allows Doctor Fate to control his body and win the battle thanks to magic. Since then it's unknown if his views on magic have changed or not, but he still won't admit to its existence.

Not only as Wally but also as Kid Flash, he enjoys being in the middle of all the action. During any and all missions he can rarely pull out stealth, as he gets too stressed to wait and just dives in head first. He greatly admires the Justice League, especially his uncle Barry (Flash) and during joint missions looks forward to fighting alongside them. On his birthday the Team is paired up with the League's members, but Wally is the only one with a different solo mission. He is instructed to deliver a donor heart from Boston to Seattle. He clearly shows his disappointment at being excluded from the group, but accepts the mission anyway, albeit begrudgingly. Afterwards he appreciates that even the background missions and being the unsung hero is also very important, as he saves a young girl's life and in this case, since she was a queen, the freedom of a country.

Another important trait of Wally's personality is his girl-crazy attitude. The moment he meets M'gann (Miss Martian) he is smitten, and often drops not-so-subtle hints and one-liners filled with innuendo at her. But throughout the show he is seen flirting with numerous girls and women of different ages - some examples are Black Canary (~~he has to be suicidal~~), Selena Gonzales and Mattie Harcourt.

Because he rarely sits still and runs pretty fast, he constantly needs to recharge with juices, energy bars, pizza and any other foods that are rich in carbohydrates. He is often seen gobbling down some big piece of cake or slice of pizza, and he's always packing power bars and juice with him. In spite of this, he is very lean though slightly muscular, since he quickly burns off the carbs due to his running around and his fast metabolism.

In the group, he gets along best with Robin, and their relationship is portrayed as a sort-of best friendship, even though it's shown that Wally doesn't even know Robin's real name (Dick Grayson). He has a romantic interest in M'gann but during the twentieth episode he finds out that she is actually dating Connor (Superboy). He gets into arguments and conflicts most often with Artemis, even though it's more out of denial than anything else - he clearly cares a lot for her. With her apparent death during the sixteenth episode he becomes irrational and even more rash and impulsive than usual, at some point almost becoming violent with other members of the team. He later denies any feelings when Black Canary confronts him about what happened.
He'll generally get along with anyone. When it comes to girls, and women, if they're good looking he will undoubtedly hit on them - unless they're confrontational like Artemis, in which case he will most likely keep bickering with them. Even though he's a goof-ball he's not dumb - he knows when he's being mocked or teased and he will most likely retort, even if it sometimes might get him in trouble.

Last but not least, he likes to keep souvenirs, either of missions or of day-to-day events. It goes from big, relevant things, like the Helm of Nabu, the mystery arrow or Chesire's mask, to seemingly unimportant stuff with only sentimental value, like a piece of Count Vertigo's cape or the medical bag in which he carried the donor heart.

First Person: [The video feed turns on to a very confused-looking ginger teenager with green eyes. He looks cautious as he speaks, as if he's not sure if he's really doing the right thing.]

Um, guys? Anyone there? I tried to get a secure signal but I don't think this, uh, thing - whatever this is - works like that.

[He lifts his head up to look around for a moment, trying to find someone, anyone in the vicinity.]

So, is this a test or... Did I get knocked out during a mission? Everyone alright?

[He's also considering the possibility that the Team isn't on the other end, or that they can't respond.] If anyone else is hearing this, could anybody tell me where I am and the way to the Hall of Justice? Thanks.

[He opens his mouth as if to say something else, pauses for a moment, and adds before closing the pocket watch.] Don't sweat it guys, I'll find you.

Third Person:

Wally was pretty tired, literally and figuratively. For the past couple of days he'd been running around the plains, crossed the mountains, roamed the forests, been to the lake, and every time it seemed to go nowhere. Finally he gave in and just walked around the city, trying to find anything familiar, a sign that this was some sort of test, or some place that a bad guy got him locked into. There was still the possibility that this was nothing but a dream or one of those mind-control situations they'd gotten themselves into before. He shuddered for a moment because those really weren't nice at all, and he'd much rather have people out of his head. (Though M'gann was cool.)

He sighed as he sat on the bridge, facing out, as he fiddled with his pocket watch. He stopped counting how many times he threw it away already, but the next morning, there it was, right next to his head when he woke up. Compared to the technology he had access to back home, this one was pretty rudimentar, so the excitement of figuring out how it worked was short lived. Just for the sake of frustration, he threw it away into the river and watched it as it sank to the bottom.

Well, at least the City had one good thing: girls. And they were pretty cute too, he mused as a small group crossing the bridge stopped halfway, relatively close to him. He turned his head at them with his best, most charming smile - because let's face it, there's no way the ladies can resist this - and spoke to them "Hey if you're lost, I can help you... I'm pretty good with directions, you know?"

One of the girls giggled, but otherwise they didn't respond. One of them muttered 'idiot' and threw him a crumpled piece of paper.

"Hey, anytime, okay? I'm serious!" he shout out at them as they walked off the bridge. He turned to flatten the paper she threw him; it looked like a rudimentar map of the City. He grinned a little. "Hey, souvenir!"
