===POWERS===

Powers: Jay was gifted the speed of a god by Mercury, which connected him to the Speed Force.

• Accelerated Healing - Speed Force conduits are not invulnerable nor durable enough to sustain damage however if they are harmed they will heal at high speeds. Any normal wear and tear damage to their bodies are almost instantly healed.

• Decelerated Aging - Speed Force conduits have a slowed aging process. This power can be imparted on their most intimate loved ones by extended contact rather than distribution.

• Energy Construct Creation - Speed Force conduits can use the matter generated by their speed to create solid objects such as walls or bridges. This power requires constant concentration and reapplication of the construct for it to remain stable. Flash's after images are also construct creations.

• Flight - Speed Force conduits can rotate their arms and spin their bodies like tops to achieve something of a kind of helicopter flight. However, with practice conduits can even achieve controllable flight if launched at high speeds. Despite their flight abilities they are always faster on their feet.

• Increased Perceptions - Speed Force conduits traveling at the speed of sound may miss important events as they run by. The Speed Force grants them enhanced senses that allow them to see, hear, smell, touch and/or taste at an increased speed and understand it as it is processed.

• Infinite Mass Punch - Speed Force conduits have an increased level of strength added to their bodies which they can impart in different ways. Certain speedsters can strength each and every move they make however this requires attention and stress for each movement and therefore is almost never used. In most cases conduits can focus the Speed Force's extra-dimensional energies into one massive punch; when used in practiced this punch pushed a metahuman from one continent to another.

• Phasing - Speed Force conduits can vibrate their molecules so quickly that they can achieve intangibility for short bursts allowing them to phase through objects.

• Self-Sustenance - Speed Force conduits travel at incredible speeds which cause their bodies to work overtime. In situations where their bodies may be too fast for them to breathe they may impart on the Speed Force for sustenance. However, this almost always results in the conduits having an increased metabolism at all times requiring them to constantly refill their energy supplies.

• Sharing the Force - Speed Force conduits can allow their friends or family members to run along side them at their equaled speeds. Certain conduits who may only have minor access to the Force may achieve full levels of the Force due to the main conduit's association with it.

• Speed Force Aura - People who are propelled by the conduits during high speed situations can survive the harsh conditions associated with mach speeds. When the conduit must rescue an individual from a burning building these individuals will be protected while within the aura.

• Speed Force Conduit - People who, for whatever reason, are connected to the Speed Force are sometimes called Speed Force Conduits. This means that they are connected to the Speed Force and are tethered to it. Some characters may control their Speed Force imparted powers in different ways such as only Superhuman Strength or even directed through Lighting but no matter their adaptions they are still connected to the Force.

• Steal Speed - Speed Force conduits can steal the accelerated motion or momentum from objects or people to reduce their speed or even virtually stop them. Conduits may also steal the speed from other Speedsters or other fast moving people.

• Supercharged Brain Activity - Sometimes neglected by Speedsters who only operate at superhuman speeds and never slow down enough to understand their full potential; Speedsters can access superhuman levels in their brains further than processing information. They can test theories, understand difficult equations and run trial and error in their brains at superhuman speeds. Different conduits access this activity in different ways.

• Superhuman Endurance - Speed Force conduits have to access the Speed Force for a number of different tasks. Most Speedsters use their superhuman speed and react at superhuman speeds; therefore, they must run for extended periods or operate for a large amount of time. Their bodies can handle the stresses of superhuman racing without noticeable distress.

• Superhuman Speed - Speed Force conduits have one main ability above all else. Conduits are connected to the barrier and accumulation of all Speed known in their universe. These characters immediately understand how to run at superhuman speeds and their bodies instinctively understand how to react at high-speed situations. Older speedsters have a reduced but maxed speed of 770mph which is just below sonic booms allowing them to react to situations without causing civilians undo stress. Speedsters in their prime can travel at much faster speeds such as the max level of recorded aided speed on Earth and even reach the speed of light with enough willpower. It is possible for conduits to travel much faster than the speed of light however such levels require an incredible amount of stress. Speedsters unaccustomed to their max level of speeds may detach themselves from the Speed Force or even become part of the Speed Force by accident.

• Vortex Creations - Speed Force conduits that plant themselves on the ground and rotate their extremities can cause an incredible amount of wind to burst through their focused funnel. Most Speedsters use this ability automatically when they run reducing the air currents around their body to low enough levels to no longer inhibit their speed. Creatively, Speedsters can create tornadoes and gusts with their arms.

Skills: Jay practices parkour, and is decent at it. His newly gifted powers enhance his parkour skills. Other than that he has no other particular skills.


Weaknesses: His powers can be absorbed by other Speed Force conduits. He also can get down on himself at times, and give-up too soon. He will also give anything for his friends and family which can get him into trouble.


Equipment: His clothes are made of magical threads that transform into his costume on mental command.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Universe: Earth Two
Family Members: Joseph Garrick (dead), Elizabeth Kingston (unknown)
Place of Origin: Keystone City
Current Residence: Keystone City
History: Joseph Garrick was an ordinary man who worked as a Police Officer in Keystone City. At the age of 23, Joseph met and fell in love with Elizabeth Kingston, a local burlesque dancer. The two had a brief affair that ended with a baby on Joseph's doorstep and Elizabeth nowhere in sight. Joseph named his son Jason "Jay" Peter Garrick and raised him well for years. But, from a very young age Jay desired to know where his mother was. He began to search the Internet, and the entire city. This little quest took up all his time in elementary school and junior high, and his grades suffered because of it.

At the age of 15, Joseph had had enough of his son's little escapade, and he forced him to stay at home and study, with no Internet and no connection to the outside world other than school. Jay and his father's relationship suffered because of this, and Jay began to rebel. He briefly flirted with drugs and alcohol, before giving that up and deciding to run away. After doing so, he lasted a whole week in the dirty streets of Keystone before retuning to his father. Joseph, understanding of his son's problems and his mistake, apologized to his son and they mended their relationship.

Jay continued through high school but began to slack off. He got into Keystone College of Arts and Sciences where he met Joan Williams. The two began to date, and Jay's grades slowly began to rise. However, during the Apokolips War, Jay's father volunteered and was killed by Parademons. Despite Earth winning the war, Jay's grades dropped and he barely passed senior year. During this time he began to practice parkour. Soon after finishing college, Joan left Jay, wanting "more."

That very night Jay's whole life changed. The Roman God Mercury crashed next to Jay, and bestowed upon Jay his speed. Before the god died, he also warned Jay of a coming evil and told him to trust no one. Soon after testing his powers and saving a couple from Apokorats, Jay ran into another Wonder, Hawkgirl. After that brief encounter the two journeyed to Washington D.C. to fight Solomon Grundy alongside Green Lantern. There they also fought the military's hero, Atom. Shortly after this those four founded the Justice Society, a team of Wonders dedicated to protecting the world from a coming threat. After a short escapade the team was joined by Dr. Fate. Soon after, the team separated, each of them returning to their home cities to prepare for the coming evil and to learn to master their powers.
