Let's kick this back up to eleven, guys! ------ [centre](This is a sample post, guise!)[/centre] ------ [u]The Chemotech Industrial Plant Distribution floor B[/u] [b]"You made a big mistake coming here, [i]Hero![/i] A big mistake! Just turn back and leave. Leave before I lose it with you."[/b] "Boss, I see hi--" [i]THWIPPP![/i] A sharp [i]clang[/i] resonates from the corner of the large room. The large metal box these criminals had taken refuge in was beginning to inspire claustrophobia in a few of the underlings and, to their employer's chagrin, many restless trigger-fingers. On their master's orders, a few of the gunmen jump down from a walkway and check around the source of the commotion. Their fleeting search brings up no further clues. The more confident of the trio attempts to settle the conflict. "There's nothing down here, Sir. Something must have fell or somethi--" "Wha--!" "--Ughh!" The three are silenced in quick succession. A worrying display for the engineer of this heist. [b]"What's going on down there?! Get me eyes on the ground!"[/b] "You heard the Boss. Move!", an over-zealous conspirator chimes. Before he can take a breath however, he disappears. Scattered into the ether with a piercing and ever fading yelp. This much is seen by an assembly of four a few feet away. "He just vanished Boss!" "Shit..." "Oh Christ! What if it's the Bat!" [b]"Pull yourselves together! You girls are armed to the teeth. You're killers! Straight up. You outnumber whoever the hell this is eight to one. You can easily handle whoever this cape is. [i]Suck[/i] it up!"[/b] "I didn't sign up for this! I'm out!" [b]"Oh-fa-Christ's... Get out of here then!"[/b] [i]THWIII-THWIIPPP![/i] "Two men down Boss!" [b]"Shoot something!!"[/b] [i]THWIPPP![/i] "Wicks is gone! Th-there's no-one here, Sir. No body or nuthin'! I coulda swore I coul--" [i]CRAASHH!!![/i] The fallen man, having smashed into a number of barrels, signals a position to the others. Converging at an adjacent corner, the remaining four aim their automatic guns blindly through the narrow space made by the towering shelves. Rather than ripping the wall to pieces as expected though, the bullets seemingly go straight through it, or disappear altogether. There wasn't a sound made to indicate that they had hit anything at all. One man stops to examine the barrel of his gun. Upon raising his head however, he sees none of the original group. Not a soul. [u][b]"Hey buddy! Did you lose these?"[/b][/u] can be heard softly from the walkway above, pre-emptive of a visceral scream that cuts at the darkness. The mastermind of the situation comes to the realisation that he is the last man standing. He was getting out of there now. Turning to run, he's stopped by the appearance of a single man. [i][b]"Burn!!"[/b][/i] He shouts in retaliation, firing up his flame-thrower and letting it loose against the unknown assailant. [b]"Burn?!"[/b] He stops. The image was gone, perhaps only an after image of the crusader in red. He turns to a fist flying towards his jaw, unimpeded by the laws of physics and of men. With a limp clod, the armoured criminal, Heatwave fell to the floor, out cold. [b]"Take some time to cool-off,"[/b] laughed The Flash. [b]"Now, let's clean this up..."[/b] [i]THWIPPP![/i] ------ [hider=Character Application] [centre][b]ErsatzEmperor Presents:[/b] Bartholomew Henry Allen A.K.A, [b][u]The Flash[/u][/b][/centre] [b]| Origin & Backstory |[/b] W.I.P [b]| Character Notes |[/b] W.I.P [b]| Powers & Abilities |[/b] W.I.P [b]| How is this character different? |[/b] I intend for his skill set to remain mostly the same, though Barry will be using his abilities in a far more precise and methodical way, lending from his career as a forensics scientist.
