Applications Two
APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED!
The next application opening date is Friday 16th January, 7pm EST.
The next application processing date is Friday 23rd January, 7pm EST.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE POST YOUR APPLICATIONS HERE ON THE NEW APPLICATION PAGE
We're so glad you're thinking of joining us in Haven, where we are all safe.
In order to apply for a canon character, please fill out the information below and post it in a comment in this entry. For an OC, please apply using the OC information. Please do not link to applications, all applications must be posted here. Please do not delete your applications; if you do not want it to be seen, you can request for it to be screened after a decision is made.
You may apply for two characters every application round, to a total of six characters. Only two of these may be from the same canon, and they cannot be too familiar with one another. Please make sure to mark the header of your comment(s) with RESERVED or NOT RESERVED, as well as the character name and canon. App challenges are not allowed currently.
Try to remember spelling and grammar are important, and in app length quality and not quantity is what matters. All parts of the application must be your own work, plagiarism will not be tolerated, though you are welcome to reuse your own old applications.
If you are asked for revisions, please don't panic! It doesn't mean the mods don't like you, only that we probably need more information before making a decision. If you are asked for revisions, you will have one week to supply them.
Applications are open on a monthly cycle, where they will be opened on the second Friday of every month for a week, and then processed on the third Friday of the month, before being closed again.
We now have a test drive community athaventest which is continuously open. Posts there may be used in lieu of a sample in the application. You may also link posts, logs, or threads from other games and memes in lieu of samples, though we ask that they be no more than one year old. As of November 22nd 2014, samples cannot be "where am I" intro posts. The reason for this is that we often find it hard to gauge characterization from those, as most people when immediately in a new surrounding are confused or frightened.
While we encourage players who have dropped to re-join us, we do not encourage the continual rapid dropping and re-apping of the same character in a short time period. You are welcome to request specific housing, and all attempts will be made to accommodate that request, but it may not always be possible.

Bart also has a motormouth. He's absolutely horrible at keeping secrets, unless everything he's worked for depends on it. As mentioned above, he has no tact whatsoever, and some of what he says can sound insulting, even if he doesn't mean it like that. Sometimes he moves on from things too quickly and people have to remind him to slow down so that he can fully get what's going on. He's also a good liar – he came to the past to stop Blue Beetle from enslaving mankind, but wouldn't tell people about it at first. He manipulated people into helping him save Neutron and pretended to be stuck in the past, and at first wouldn't explain everything he knew. Even after telling Jaime about it, he still didn't want everyone else to find out in the off chance that one of the League would ignite the apocalypse. However, he's opened up a lot since then and now considers himself a part of the team – which includes acting like it. Where he was once a bit ignorant, Bart's grown into understanding people and what he should and shouldn't do. He's not good at being told off, either – sometimes taking it a bit too personally, though he's shown to get over it pretty quickly. If someone shows how annoyed they are at him, he'll feel bad quickly, like all of his momentum drying out.
As his superhero name implies, Bart is impulsive and often does whatever he wants on any whim possible. He shows up at people's houses in costume, shows little care for secret identities ("What's the point of hiding how crash we are?") and busts into people's private spaces. And takes their food. However, he's a good kid – he's willing to throw himself into any dangerous situation in order to help his friends and innocent people. Even when it might seem like a dead end, Bart never gives up. He's highly resourceful, an example being is he worked on a time machine in order to save the world, knowing that he'd never be able to get back to his own time.
Bart doesn't see himself as annoying, in fact he's a little full of himself when it comes to being a speedster. He likes teasing people about speed – even people he looks up to, like Wally West. He has a rather high opinion of himself, though in the beginning it was more of an act – in order to keep the future hidden and to win over the people he met in the past, he got “into character” and acted it out. He acted friendly towards Jaime/Blue Beetle in order to keep an eye on him because of what would happen with The Reach. Originally, Bart was serious and bitter when it came to his own timeline - he lived in an apocalyptic time and lying, scavenging, etc were all necessities. He was also angry about superheroes not being treated as heroes - it bothers him that they kept the memorials for the fallen ones underground. However, he knows his own limits and while he pushes himself the best he can, he knows what his speed can do, as well as what it can't. Bart also thinks he's the coolest shit in the world, which is objective… he is pretty cool. Sometimes. A lot of people in Young Justice don't agree. While he acts all high and mighty about being THE AWESOME BART ALLEN he can be grounded pretty quickly, though he still acts pretty highly about being The Flash's grandson, as well as super handsome and witty and all that. It's hard to point out what may be an act to him and what isn't now, as he's gotten into the character of being IMPULSE pretty heavily, though once the truth came out about the future, there wasn't much use for him to keep up the charade - it's generally implied that he accepted the hyper nature of Impulse. As time goes on, Bart becomes less hyper, more mellow - though still extremely fast and energetic, he isn't always putting on a huge show for everyone.
His primary goal was to stop Blue Beetle from going evil, specifically by not letting him be anything but a hero. In order to do this, Bart traveled from the future to help Neutron and to keep an eye on Blue Beetle, in order to save him from The Reach. However, he's also a superhero – saving innocent people is his deal! He really just wants to help out people in need – friends and family especially. Even if he offhandedly insults The Flash and Kid Flash, Bart truly looks up to them and adores every member of his family, and can't contain how happy he was to see them when he arrived in the past. At the end of the series, Wally told him that he could take up the costume of Kid Flash and Bart was thrilled – he saw it as an honour. He promised Kid Flash that he'd make him proud. After Wally died, Bart wore the costume, even if he was nervous about it.
Bart has trouble relating to people in the past, as he grew up in a completely different situation. However, he learns quickly and gets better at it as he gets closer to people. He acts completely friendly and familiar to almost anyone he talks to and doesn't have much of a filter, so it's a hit or miss with him. Despite his nature, he's good at being a friend. He's someone who breaks the ice in any conversation by throwing a bomb at it. He's the type to joke in bad situations, especially if it's considered “not a good time”. Bart tends to lighten up all situations by joking around.
As mentioned above, Bart is a speedster. He speaks faster and doesn't always end his sentences properly. He thinks in quick bursts too – he'll go from one subject to another in the span of milliseconds. Bart doesn't need to eat to keep up his energy like Wally does, but he eats a lot anyways. He also uses slang from the future – i.e. he switches out positive words for ‘crash'. That's so crash! He also likes to play with people, especially when it comes to his speed – he loves running circles around people, etc. In that way, he's a bit of a troll – teasing people is in his nature, and he can be a bit sarcastic at times, even if he likes to make people feel better in general.

With that out of the way, Bart's main power is super speed. And with great speed comes great... other things! Because of how fast he can move, Bart can vibrate his molecules so fast that he can phase right through solid objects. He can run in circles, creating pseudo-tornadoes. And he can avoid a lot - it's hard to hit him if he can see the enemy coming. He can also detect things that are moving at speeds faster than normal human perception, and can talk in a super-humanly fast (and annoying) way.
And then there's the actual running. It's not stated in canon, but since he can run fast enough that gravity has no effect on him (because of his speed, he can run up walls, for example) it's basically just... very, very fast. But for him, it feels normal, though he loves to flaunt it.

And Bart was pretty sure that the horse was laughing at him.
"Get back on the horse? Get back in the saddle?" He was muttering to himself as he stood, dusting off his pants. He wasn't really keen on getting back on the animal, especially if he was just going to fall off again. The horse let out a snort and Bart returned it with a glare, pointing his finger at it.
"Look, dude. Falling off isn't crash," he pauses. "Well it is, technically. But not in a good way. So if I step up again, you're not gonna send me flying. Capiche?"
There's a moment of silence before the horse snorts again and Bart takes that as an agreement. He steps up to the ladder specifically made for climbing on these beasts, then puts a foot in the stirrup. You can do it, Impulse. No sweat. With a deep breath, he pulls himself up and over -
And continues going right over the horse as it takes a step forward. He's pretty sure his life - his short, short life - flash before his eyes as he plummets oh so far to the ground. How he'll never live up to Kid Flash, much less The Flash himself! How he'll never eat Jaime's food again! How he'll never get to drive Miss Martian's awesome ship! All of those horribly sad thoughts rush to the front of his mind as he face plants into the dirt a second time.
"Oh come on," Bart lifts his head up, spitting out a mouthful of dust. "Really? Why you gotta be like that?"
He rubs his head - making sure it's still even there. "This is the first time I'm glad the rest of the team isn't here. I'd never live this down," The horse snorts at him again and Bart makes a face at it. "Yeah, thanks bro." It kind of hurts for a moment, because he does miss everyone else. He wishes he had Blue around to annoy and call hermano. Instead he's just got this wonderfully sweet horse.
"Ugh... Better try again. I'm not quitting until you let me on!"
