#TheFlash is My Current #NCC1701D ('Next Generation' Starship Enterprise) - Characters on @TheCW's "The Flash" | @playbuzz @howstuffworks @Mizzou @Britannica @UTAustin @getFANDOM

As you can see from many 'quizzes' on The Internet, you can often understand some things about your own personality by identifying with cast-members on a television show with a team of characters (this was first pointed-out to me via 'the crew of the NCC-1701-D on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION').

Well, lately I've been watching The CW's THE FLASH; and that show covers many of the character-bases.

I'll go ahead and take the test for THE FLASH, but I really hope that I'm most-like #Savitar! (Not because I want to be more like Savitar, but because that's 'the word' through which I'm hyperlinking to the test).

That name is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The name “Savitar” #Savitr# (apparently (in this version, in case this is a SPOILER!) the first-ever 'speedster' (human who can access The Speed Force), who convinced the Hindus that he was The God of Speed) is built on ancient words that mean "to |Dry(?), Stimulate, Rouse, |Vivify" (described in the Rig-Veda (i.e. |Vedic Texts) as a |Luminary & |Irresistible |Energy, |All-|Seeing, |Forever-|Young; the Sun,

Worshipped as |God of |Life, the |Bringer of Life & Source of |Rest, represented as traveling in a |Car of |Gold; and -of |Speed; as a woman #Savatari or #Savitri# (tho maybe that's talking about Savitr's daughter), Sacrificed herself to save her |Husband from the Underworld; Quickener (which doesn't mean what you think it means!), Impeller; |Sunray; |Driving |Force of the Solar Cycle; |Filling).

But no; I got

of course, the questions seemed slanted to 'asking one of the good

-guys' (do you like to hang out at Jitters, Joe's house, S.T.A.R.

 Labs or the CCPD? Why did you choose to be a superhero? etc.)

I bet HSW didn't even include villains as possibilities.

Other Characters I remember (which might be another thing that tells people about your character ... I suspect you quickly forget characters you don't identify-with):

• Good-guys
• of course, Dr. Caitlin Snow (possibly Killer Frost ... I'm only partway through Season 3) - 
• Barry Allen (The Flash) - 
• Cisco Ramon (Vibe) - 
• Detective Joe West - 
• H.R./Harrison Wells (we meet several doppelgangers of this guy) - 
• Jessie Quick - the 'Earth 2'-H.R.'s daughter
• Iris (West) Allen (Barry's wife, Joe's daughter)
• Wally West (Kid Flash)
• Jay Garrick (The Flash on Earth 3, who is the doppelganger of ...)
• Henry Allan (Barry's dad)
• Bad-guys (other than Savitar ... who announces that he is "The Future Flash," but it's totally understandable that we all heard his announcement as "I am The Future! (and then naming 'who he's talking-to') Flash")
• Doctor Alchemy - an identity Julian becomes (totally against his will ... tho it seems like he's totally aware of it—keeping his 'Alchemy'-mask in a drawer in his lab) who we find out is just a puppet for Savitar
• Zoom - speedster from Earth 2 who kills Henry Allen
• The Rival - another speedster acolyte of Savitar
• Killer Frost (Caitlin Snow)
• Eobard Thawne
