THE TL;DR CR Meme

It's that time again and why not start it off with a heart warming and tragic foreshadowing gif?

1. Post with your characters - if you have more than one, make a catch all under one header.
2. respond to other people's characters with your characters.
3. They will tell you exactly what their character thinks of your character in depth! Icly or oocly! Make it long, this is teal deer territory after all.
4. React if you wish!
5. You can use this stuff for cr charts or you can even link to something you have written.
6. This is brought to you by irony from one of the more unfriendly characters in game.

SUP BABYFLASH

Okay so first, James on his version of Wally. This dude met little Wally West when he was a tiny freckle-faced twelve year old punk in yellow and red tripping over his own feet and saying GOLLY. This is important to note. James was like eighteen or nineteen at MOST when he started doing the Rogue thing, but still, Kid Flash was a WEE BABY CHILD. And there’s a part of him that always kind of saw Wally as not the actual Flash, definitely a replacement for Barry, even if he was a damn good replacement in the end.

But with that said, if he had to pick the person he respected more, it would be Wally every time. Yeah, he basically watched the kid grow up and become a hero, but more than that, he watched him become a really decent person. They were never friends, exactly (though the fact that Wally was Piper’s best friend counts for a lot, because seriously, the Flash letting a reformed Rogue sleep on his couch and help install his surround sound and watch sports with his wife? not in Barry's day) but there was a definite respect there. He gave James the benefit of the doubt once he was reformed! He was on Wally’s “help me disarm this bomb” speed dial, and Wally saved his life more than once.

… and then Bart died and it all went to hell in a handbasket. James absolutely doesn’t trust superheroes, or the League, but sometimes he does kick himself for not trusting Wally to help clear his and Piper’s names just because he ran them around the globe seventeen times and broke his already broken nose. Maybe at least he wouldn’t have died. Maybe. Maybe a lot of things.

So that’s what happened before he arrived here to find YET ANOTHER BABY WALLY WHAT THE HELL. Only this one has no idea about all their history and thinks he’s still supervillaining and doesn’t trust him as far as his scrawny little arms could throw him. The circumstances are really more annoying than anything else, because it’s not like they were friends… but god, it’s really inconvenient. But he’s nothing if not pragmatic, and because a good deal of the League probably still thinks he’s a killer, what he really really really wants is to ingratiate himself as much as possible to people. And it’s a much easier climb back up from “kind of goofy supervillain” to “not that bad of a guy” than from “Bart Allen’s killer” to “not that bad of a guy.” So Wally’s a fairly easy target.

Which sounds fantastically self-serving, but, well, he’s a Rogue at heart.

It’s not entirely that simple, though. He does like Wally! His version and this version, even if this version is a really grumpy teenager. He’s hilarious! He’s fun to poke! He’s a Flash so he gets an extra helping of James’ natural “I just met you and now I’m going to bother you for the rest of time.” He’ll do crap like buy him ten pizzas just because he’s weirdly fond of the kid even if he doesn’t know him all that well. He’s kind of weirdly more loyal than anyone really expects of him.

There’s also a whooooole lot of guilt mixed in with that, because even if he didn’t actually help kill Bart, he wasn’t able to stop it from happening, and this is probably a thing he’s never going to get over for however long the rest of his life manages to be. And Wally’s sort of the secondary recipient of that, because hell, Bart was his cousin. It’s a different Wally, and it’s a different Bart, but James is just going to be perpetually trying to make up for the worst thing he’s ever done while hiding it behind a cheerful smile and endless obnoxiousness.

Which honestly means that he’d probably do just about anything Wally asked him to, without asking anything in return, but he’s not about to put that out there. Just, you know, if you ever need a guy to help you blow up a body...
