❅ Applications

Applications are: CLOSED
Indefinitely.

To apply for a character, fill out the correct application down below and post it a comment on this entry. Please do not link applications in your journal or delete the comments once your application is processed. Let us know if you would like your application screened.

Apps open on the first of every month and remain open for one week, during which time the mods will begin processing. We're optimistic and hope you'll get the result of your app within a day, but some may take longer depending on the familiarity of the mods with the canon, and the number of apps received in that cycle. If four or more days pass with no response then we suggest you contact a mod.

You can reserve and apply for two characters per app cycle. Currently, players are allowed a maximum of three characters in-game at any given time.

Applications will be judged primarily on the personality section of the character in question, and how the player intends to adapt them into their new role. For this part we're mostly interested in what you plan to do with their powers and new destiny, not how the character will react to it. We'll see that in-game!

Since any OC applications must fall in the range of fairy tales that already exist in the world of Myth Making, these will be held to a higher expectation.

Processing will result in applications being accepted or denied, or revisions requested. Don't worry if you're asked for revisions! It means we're interested in your app, but require more information about something. We'll let you know what that is. If you are asked for revisions, you'll be given one week to provide them.

You are allowed to re-use sections of applications you wrote previously, so don't worry about rewriting your entire personality section. Do NOT plagiarise any part of another player's application for your own, as this will result in an instant ban.

Test drive memes will go up on our meme comm,

mythmemes, the same day reserves open!

✒ IC
Name: Wally West
Canon: Young Justice
Canon Point: Episode 01x26, "Auld Acquaintance"
Age: 16

Personality: Wally West is a very physical and earthly individual – he’s very much in tune with his wants and desires, perhaps to a fault. For example, he’s often seen stuffing his face, though this does have a root in his speedy metabolism, which requires almost constant feeding; this has not stopped him from feeling ashamed about his eating habits, however. When Psycho-Pirate used his Medusa Mask to make the team live through their worst fears and anxieties, Wally was confronted with his eating habits and his fear that he was never truly needed by The Flash; at some level, he feels unworthy of his role as Kid Flash, but he was the first member of the team to actually break through the control of the Medusa Mask because he realized his worth, and also remembering that he was trusted with the secret of Robin’s true identity ( Young Justice #3.5 ).

This earthiness of his also manifests in his scientific mindset: science was, and seemingly still is, the framework he has for viewing the world. He’s very well versed in chemistry, biology, physics, and mechanics; he was able to determine the composition of Kobra-Venom ( “Drop-Zone” ); he knew how to fix up Superboy’s motorcycle ( “Homefront” ); he could instruct Robin on how to build a mechanism to generate an EMP ( ibid. ), and he’s capable of understanding the theories behind time travel ( “Bloodlines” ). His scientific worldview, however, is also his way of controlling the world around him through his understanding; there is no room for the mystic arts, the supernatural, and magic, and to admit their existence means acknowledging his lack of control ( “Denial” ). Since he has worn the Helmet of Fate, come into contact with the ghost of Kent Nelson, and admitted the existence of a “higher plane,” it is possible his worldview has expanded without ill effect to his sense of self, but he has yet to be seen mentioning it since then.

Even before he became Kid Flash, Wally had a very energetic, curious, and intellectual nature. At the age of thirteen, he was able to read, understand, and use his Uncle Barry’s research notes to recreate the experiment that gave him his speedster powers ( YJ #5 ). The fact that it took him longer than expected to gain speedster powers of his own may have contributed to his acceptance of the fact that The Flash can seriously outpace him [ on Earth-16 ]; he has been shown as saying, in the second season, “Lap me; I’m used to it” ( “Bloodlines” ).

Physical contact seems to be important for Wally, and he’s quite expressive through his body. There are several instances where he is mainly expressive with his arms and hands, for example, in “Independence Day,” where he both throws his arms about (emotional about the revelation that the Justice League had deceived them about the true nature of their induction) and wrings his hands (upset about Speedy’s departure). He has no problem with immediately expressing camaraderie toward new people, such as Superboy, whose shoulders he threw his arms about at the end of “Fireworks;” he also gave the clone a playful punch or two in YJ #0. In particular, the two people he seems to have the most ease expressing his physical nature with are Robin and Artemis, both of whom he was willing to carry during missions and times of crisis ( Unknown Episode & “Bereft,” respectively ). At the same time, he seems to prefer being the initiator of physical contact, otherwise he can get upset; “Bloodlines,” showed him getting slightly irritated and upset when Bart Allen hugged him after he arrived to collect the speedster.

As a side note, it should be mentioned that previous incarnations of Wally West, from the comics centered on New Earth ( YJ takes place on Earth-16 ), suffered through an abusive situation at home with his parents. No sign of this has been shown in YJ, though his parents have been shown as slightly distant ( “Coldhearted” ), at least physically, but a counterargument may be made against this with the incident that took place in “Misplaced,” where he and his parents hugged at the end. A counterargument may be made against that, saying that it only stemmed from the severity of the situation that had recently been resolved ( the split of the world into two, one for adults and one for children ). If there is any form of abuse that might have shaped Wally’s personality, it would have most likely taken form in emotional neglect.

Wally is playful and a joker. He is often shown mouthing of, especially to villains and rivals; Artemis and he have had a relationship like this from almost their first encounter ( “Infiltrator” ), and he was confrontational with Red Torpedo and Red Inferno ( “Homefront” ). When it comes to playing around, he has been shown as very fond of kids; when Klarion and the other mystical villains split the world in two, Wally was shown playing with the kids he had helped rescue, letting them climb all over him ( “Misplaced” ). Also, in “Coldhearted,” he was shown as being very fond of Queen Perdita of Vlatava, whom he saved by racing a heart over to her for a transplant, and by exposing her uncle, Count Vertigo; the feelings of children toward Wally seem to be mutual, as expressed by Perdita.

Emotionally, Wally is impulsive and hot-headed. He has been labeled as “Kid Mouth” by members of the team, mostly because of his ability to quite easily run his mouth off and run his foot right into it. During “Insecurity,” he immediately jumped to blaming Artemis for the failure of the mission once Red Arrow accused her of planting a tracer on a train, sending them on a wild goose chase. When confronted with the possibility of death in “Denial,” he did not refrain from calling Miss. Martian “hot,” in front of the whole team, and he has been shown to flirt extensively with the aforementioned and Zatanna Zatara when she first interacted with the team ( “Humanity” ).

Ironically, he can be a little slow on the uptake about his feelings toward others, especially if they are particularly deep, and the feelings others have toward him. It took all the time from “Denial,” when Kent Nelson said he needed to find a “spitfire of his own, who’d never let him get away with anything,” to “Insecurity,” for him to acknowledge any sort of admiration toward Artemis; there were hints of this in “Bereft,” when both of them had lost six months of their memory and Wally openly flirted with her (but this can probably be considered a sign of his flirtatious nature). He also did not openly express his romantic feelings toward her until the final episode of the first season, “Auld Acquaintance,” where he kissed her and said, “I should have done this a long time ago.” As another side note, remembering important dates seems to be one of his failings; season two episode, “Salvage,” has explicitly stated that Wally forgot Saint Valentine’s Day four years in a row.

There is a possibility that Wally’s encounters with the Helmet of Fate, and Nabu’s hesitance in relinquishing his host bodies, has instilled a sort of fear concerning the life of superheroes. Wally is shown in the second season as being insistent on staying out of superhero business unless called upon in extreme emergencies ( “Bloodlines” ), to the point where he grows sullen and angry when this tenant is violated ( “Depths” ). The seeds of this may have first been planted when Wally first entered the control of the Helmet of Fate ( “Denial” ), saw Aqualad under its control, almost for good ( “Revelation” ), and ultimately seeing Zatanna lose her father to the Helmet ( “Misplaced” ).

Collecting souvenirs from his missions seems to be a hobby; his room at the base in Mount Justice is/was lined along a shelf with objects such as the Helmet of Fate, Cheshire’s mask, a mask from a Kobra acolyte, the arrow Artemis fired when they were fighting Ivo for the first time, the pack he used to transport Perdita’s new heart, etc. There is also a case for Wally being very fond of older movies, especially those in black and white; he dressed up as a werewolf in the more classic vein of the Wolfman for Halloween ( “Secrets” ). [ This episode also showed off his playfulness in his howling at Wolf and his participation in a prank at a dance. ] He also uses phrases from movies like Planet of the Apes [ “Get your paws off of her, you darn dirty ape.” ] ( “Revelations” ), and words like “stiff,” typical of movies set in the 1930s – 1950s ( “Coldhearted” ). Foreign languages also seem to be an interest for Wally; he has passing knowledge of both French and Latin, while he “Salvage,” has stated that he was taking a course on Vietnamese literature, leaving open the possibility that he was learning that language as well.

History: Young Justice Wiki

Canon Abilities or Powers:

Intelligence Wally well versed in biology, chemistry, and physics. He was able to recreate the chemical experiment that gave The Flash his superspeed, and he was also able to identify a mixture of Bane’s Venom mixed with Cadmus’s Blockbuster formula. In terms of physics, he seems to have a firm hold of basic electromagnetic wave theory and he even has a rough understanding of complex theories concerned with time travel.
Mechanical Skills Wally has been shown knowing how to fix up a motorcycle, as well as informing Robin on how to generate an EMP from the parts of a medical device and the base’s electrical generator. He also has an understanding of advanced tech, such as “advanced camouflage micro electronics combined with phase shifting.”
Languages Wally knows both French and high school-level Latin.
Superhuman Speed Basically, Wally can run really fast. Supposedly, his limit, on Earth-16, is just under the speed of sound, which is roughly 768 MPH.

Wally can use his speed to do all sorts of things like generate small tornadoes, burn objects and things with friction, and even turn himself into a battering ram at high velocities. Unlike his mentor, The Flash, however, Wally West of Earth-16 is unable to vibrate his atoms through solid objects.

Unfortunately, the experiment that gave Wally his powers, did not give them to him with the full control his mentor has. He has to both accelerate and decelerate; he has been known to slide into objects and to also trip. Attempts at abrupt stops will usually result in accidents.

The experiment that gave Wally his superspeed also gave him a superfast metabolism; while this helps in keeping his body fit and healing his injuries much more quickly, it also means that he has to constantly replenish his energy with large amounts of food, even if it’s something like burnt cookies. He has developed a habit of keeping a pack of food with him for missions that will keep him away from food for more than 24 hours, but once he’s used that up, his strength and speed will both start to diminish severely.
Superhuman Endurance Wally’s body is capable of taking quite a lot of punishment. He has been thrown around and beaten in such ways that would have fractured bones on a normal human. The only time he has ever been severely injured was when Black Adam, a magically powered individual, suckerpunched him into a tree, breaking his arm.
Superhuman Agility/Reflexes Training has given Wally a knack for avoiding strikes; he’s capable of rolling with the punches, as it were, and also with the throws. He’s been able to push off of walls after being thrown into them and go back at his enemies.
Strength For someone his age, Wally is at his peak level of fitness and strength; he has been shown being able to pick up three people at once and run with them. If he has not eaten in a while, however, his strength and energy are decreased.
Gymnastics Wally can do some basic gymnastic skills in combat, even at high speeds, such as somersaults and front-handsprings.

Fairy Tale Role: Psyche, from the tale of Cupid and Psyche in Lucius Apuleius' The Golden Ass.
Fairy Tale Powers or Abilities:

Nature Communication - While it was more a matter of the animals and plants talking to Psyche in the original story, this will be adapted into a power on Wally's end. It won't work with every animal or plant, though (otherwise he'd feel really bad about eating them).
Wind Control - Psyche was able to command the wind to bring her and other people from the hill where she was left, so this will be adapted into an ability to call upon the wind to use it for travel and so on.

Personal Items:

Suit - This is his suit that he uses when he goes on patrol, missions, etc. It is made from a special material that reduces air-friction to zero, optimizing his running speed. It also has minor shock-absorption abilities, protecting Wally from some blows. It comes with two camouflage modes: one that turns the suit black for night time and jungle missions, and another that turns the suit white for missions in arctic conditions.
Goggles - These goggles have the main function of protecting Wally's eyes from debris while he's running. They also have different viewing modes such as thermal scanning, infrared, and magnification.

First Person Sample: So does anyone around here have access to a lab or anything? I used to do some chemistry back home, but I guess here it'd be alchemy, wouldn't it?

Geeze, alchemy. That's a real joke, but I guess you've gotta give them credit for laying out the foundations for real science.

Anyhoo, rambling. Seriously- anyone know of a good place around here to mix some things up? I've gotta find a good way to kill some time.
Third Person Sample: Sample from
