Barry Allen

Name/Canon: Barry Allen / The Flash (CW)
Origin: Earth, Central City, 2015

Cliffs Notes: Barry was struck by lightening and given abs and super speed when STAR Lab's particle accelerator exploded. Yes, it's as cool as it sounds. He uses his new powers to help capture and contain other metahumans who are using their new powers for crime or to take advantage of others. He accidentally opened up portals from other worlds to his world when he went back in time to save his mother from being murdered. So there's that.
Daily: Barry is trying to cope with this Terrible New World as best he can. His job as a Forensic Analyst with Internal Security is not that different from his normal job back home as a Forensic Specialist. He mostly follows routine and does as he's told, though he has actively worked with Ray Palmer in order to get his powers back. He has become very close friends with Lydia Martin who works beside him as a Forensic Analyst and was his first mission partner when he arrived. He is in Room 1105 with Gaius Maecenas and new comer, Allison Argent. He is a neat and considerate roommate and generally keeps his things to himself. He probably has no idea that Gaius is in league with Free Enterprise and is opening a brothel. He spends most of his time divided between work, working to get his speed back and trying to find ways to protect others from the Special hate groups out there.
Opinions: Barry has a very mixed set of feelings about Alpha. He is disheartened by the fact that there might be a possibility that this is the future for humankind. He doesn't appreciate feeling as if he's unable to make a difference or help those around him. He didn't believe in the cloning process until he saw Ray die in an explosion and then return to Alpha with missing memories. He doesn't know how to scientifically explain Alpha and that's fascinating and more than a little terrifying. He misses his friends and family back home, but he is becoming more and more attached to his friends here also.
Pings: intelligent, dorky, sense of humor, willing to play the system on the sly, helpful, approachable, geeky, makes star wars jokes, enjoys science, good listener
Seeking: Barry is willing to help people around him as much as he can. If you need a teacher or help in getting something you sorely need, he's your man. He might be slightly naive when it comes to trusting people - specials at least. He tends to see what he wants to and can be forgiving.
Offering: He is definitely nicer than most of Alpha and is super approachable. He has access to some Internal Security reports and lab equipment in the forensics lab. He is intelligent and a pretty good detective when he needs to be.
Plot: Ideally, Barry would like to get home but I think ultimately he wants to free people from the control of the Computer and enable them to protect themselves against each other. He doesn't have any idea how to do that yet, but he feels like once he has his speed back he will be much more effective in the fight.
Goals: I'd love to have someone gain his trust and then burn him. Alternately, friends are always welcome! He tends to bring people together, so if anyone needs him to be a mediator, he can step in. He has a good head on his shoulders and the hero mindset, but in a lot of ways he hasn't yet hardened his heart enough so that he doesn't get hurt a lot. I'd like to explore that and see how he would react in this environment.
No thanks: Nope, bring it all!

BONUS What Hogwarts House they would belong to and why: Gryffindor! I'd say Hufflepuff because he's such a huge softie, but underneath that he's got some amazing courage and a sense for adventure. Not to mention he's already fond of the colors.

Other: Barry is going on hiatus until next month, but I am always around for plotting with him.
