Bart and fighting

fasterthanthoughtOkay, Bart is a speedster. And they have the most convoluted powers ever in life, the end. At their most powerful they could probably take on Superman, but at the same time have been written as being schooled by really...stupid villains who make colors solid. This is a double edged sword because it allows me a chance to have Impulse lose fights when the other player needs it, or win fights as determined by circumstances without being OOC.
Most fights don't have the benefit of player information relaying so I try to be circumspect about entering battles. Bart is expected to fight if someone is threatening others so there's no reason for him not to jump in unless the fight is staged for specific characters and/or it ends in death. Death is my OOC issue. Because death means emo and if people are expressly fighting for one of their characters to die it’s my job as a player to keep Impulse away from that and oblivious so he doesn’t have superhero guilt trip issues. Because he will feel bad if anybody dies and he can’t prevent it. Even if they reset immediately and are fine, this is just a hero hang-up that could never go away without damaging his character.
In short: Fighting Bart to win/lose is totally okay as long as it doesn’t cause him emo. He’s also welcome to fighting/sparring/training fun but won’t go out of his way to seek it unless there are mitigating circumstances.
That said, random tangential-relationship write ups go here:
People Bart sees as “teammates”
Teammates are people who Bart would fight alongside and value their skills as opposed to thinking he had to save them. He would defer to them if they asked and he's naturally friendly with them. Primary teammates are simply those he always sees as being on the same side and his closest friends in terms of ideals, while others either shift due to lack of contact or differing goals.

Obi-Wan
Omi

People Impulse thinks he’d have trouble beating in a fight
These are people Bart has had first hand experience fighting, seeing in a fight, or been warned about by people he trusts. This doesn’t mean he thinks they’re dangerous per se, some of them are good friends and people he respects. It’s only that if they were to fight he would be less likely to use restraint and fight them like meta-humans if the situation arose.

People Impulse feels duty-bound to protect
Variety of reasons here. People who tell him they don’t save, people who have openly demonstrated fear of being hurt/having no powers in camp, or people he promised others he would look out for go in this category.
