Arrowverse OC Masterlist(To Be Human)

This a masterlist of all the OCs that will appear in my series To Be Human. Some belong to different shows than The Flash, where this story mostly takes place, but that is where they make their debut. 

Warning: Spoilers! This post will be constantly updated as the story goes. 

Real Name: Unknown.

Title(s): Subject 05; Karen Starr; Divine; Power Girl.

Faceclaim: Kimberly Dos Ramos.

Species:  Metahuman.

Series: The Flash; Supergirl. 

Relationships: Barry Allen (love interest), Mattie Harcourt (best friend), Alicia Silveira (close friend), Rebecca Lewis (ally), Kara Danvers (ally), Ellie Gand (rival; reluctant ally).

Karen Starr does not remember the life she led before her fourteen-year-old birthday. As a consequence, she also does not know who she is or where she comes from. It was while wandering the streets of Metropolis that then-Officer David Singh found her and eventually took her in to avoid the strange circumstances behind her identity. Years later, Karen works as a receptionist at the CCPD while also finishing her BA in Computer Science with a Minor in Business Management online with Gotham University (courtesy of a Wayne Enterprises scholarship). It isn’t until S.T.A.R Labs’ Particle Accelerator explodes that her past begins to unravel. 

Real Name: Matilda Rae Harcourt.

Title(s): Dr. Harcourt.

Faceclaim: Freema Agyeman.

Species: Human.

Series: The Flash.

Relationships: Karen Starr (best friend).

Karen Starr’s best friend, Mattie grew up to be streetwise after the unfortunate demise of her parents. She and her younger brother, Peter, were placed in foster care; due to her challenging personality, only Peter was adopted. While Karen does not recall the moment, she earned Mattie’s loyalty when she saved Peter from an infamous gang and Mattie has followed Karen since then. Mattie recently finished her degree in Medicine and is doing her residency at Central City Hospital. 

Real Name: Rebecca Dean Cooper.

Title(s): Subject 02; Becky Cooper; Rebecca Lewis.

Faceclaim: Madelaine Petsch.

Species: Metahuman.

Series: The Flash (S1-ongoing); Legends of Tomorrow (S1-ongoing).

Relationships: Mick Rory (one-sided crush from his end; best friend), Karen Starr (ally), Ellie Gand (rival).

Starlet Rebecca Lewis is shrouded in mystery. Few know she was Becky Cooper once, a somewhat ditzy cheerleader that was Barry Allen’s high school sweetheart. But before that, Lewis’ past darkens—for she alone has met the Karen Starr that was before the memory loss and Rebecca is terrified of that girl.

Real Name: Alicia Stephanie Silveira.

Title(s): Princess Arisa of Themyscira; Wonder Girl; Wonder Twins (with Daniel); Fury (current codename).

Faceclaim: Lyndsy Fonseca.

Species: Demigod; Metahuman.

Series: The Flash (S2—onward); Arrow (S1-S8).

Relationships: Oliver Queen (love interest), Daniel Silveira (brother), Karen Starr (close friend).

Formerly known as Starling City’s Night Nurse, Alicia offered her services in the Glades to those without means and regardless of their past. She was the first to treat Oliver Queen when he returned to civilization and unknowingly won his trust with her altruism. They soon became allies, but parted ways because of their respective principles. Alicia returns to Star City upon Barry Allen’s request, as her past may hold the clue to defeating Zoom. 

Real Name: Park Ri-el.

Title(s): Subject 03; Ellie Gand; Andromeda.

Faceclaim: Ji-eun Lee (IU).

Species:  Metahuman.

Series: The Flash (S3-S4).

Relationships: Karen Starr, Rebecca Lewis, Kara Danvers (rivals); Killer Frost (Earth-1), Savitar (allies); Team Flash (enemies).

It is unclear whether Gand’s existence is due to Flashpoint, but according to Barry Allen’s and Rebecca Lewis’ statements, there was no previous record of her activities. However, Karen Starr not only identifies Gand as a business rival, Gand herself also harbors a deep hatred for both Starr and Lewis. Savitar recruits her, knowing her valuable skillset will unbalance Team Flash.

Real Name: Daniel Augusto Silveira.

Title(s): Wonder Boy; Wonder Twins (with Alicia); Fury (formerly), Jason (current codename).

Faceclaim: Sebastian Stan.

Species: Demigod; Metahuman.

Series: The Flash (S3); Supergirl (S2—onward).

Relationships: Alicia Silveira (sister), Kara Danvers (love interest), Karen Starr (former enemy; ally), Team Flash (former enemies).

Daniel is Alicia’s twin brother. Born and raised as a tactician and a warrior, Daniel showed excellent prowess in the battlefield. Unfortunately, his gender alienated him from his family’s allies, leaving him to grow resentful toward his grand-mère. Daniel disappeared on a mission, leaving his sister heartbroken. He would reappear many years later in Central City during Team Flash’s fight against Alchemy.

Real Name: Ariella Kent.

Title(s): Detective Kent (formerly); CSI Kent.

Faceclaim: Daniela Luján.

Species: Human.

Series: The Flash (S4-S5).

Relationships: Barry Allen (colleague; close friend), Team Flash (ally).

Lori Kent hails from Gotham City, where criminals are more unstable than Central City’s Metahumans. Her new job is a walk in the park—until the return of Barry Allen, who was supposedly away on sabbatical. And suddenly, not only is her reputation at risk of being damaged, but Allen himself reveals his identity as the Flash. Now, it is up to her to solve the DeVoe case and prove Barry’s innocence in the eyes of the law. 

Real Name: None.

Title(s): Subject-X; Divine.

Faceclaim: Dove Cameron.

Species:  Metahuman.

Series: The Flash (S6).

Relationships: Barry Allen (best friend), Karen Starr (close friend),  Kara Danvers (friend), Team Flash (ally), Team Supergirl (ally).

Original to the recently created Earth-Prime, Divine now forms part of Karen Starr’s, Rebecca Lewis’, and Ellie Gand’s shared lore. Known as Subject-X, Divine became free from Cadmus’ clutches when Black Hole and Intergang moved their warfare to Central City. She took her current codename from Karen’s original records at the Cadmus branch in Metropolis. Unlike Starr, Lewis, and Gand, Divine’s powers do not derive from a specific ability’s area—in fact, they closely resemble those of a Speedster. Which shouldn’t be possible, because the Speed Force is dead.

OC Halloween Challenge

October 22nd — If your OC was Canon

Featuring Karen Starr from my Flash plot bunny, To Be Human. 

CAST

Kimberly Dos Ramos as Karen Starr Freema Agyeman as Mattie Harcourt Madelaine Petsch as Rebecca Lewis Ji-eun Lee as Ellie Gand Daniela Luján as [Dawn Allen]

...

KIMBERLY: When the show began, it was obvious Karen was meant to be an easter egg for the fans. As a fan myself, I was startled that this character in particular would appear in the Flash lore. If I remember correctly (feel free to tell me I’m wrong), the Flash and Power Girl have had a sort of an antagonistic relationship in different media, or none at all. There’s this version of Supergirl where Flash is a bad guy and he’s quickly killed in the story. 

The writers kind of followed this pattern when they wrote Karen. She and Barry don’t get along for personal reasons but - there’s a hint of something in their interactions. It’s the typical will-they-won’t-they drama, with a sprinkle of they-totally-did-and-deny-it. I think that’s part of what made my Karen so popular - and then the writers went and created a backstory that is a blend of many Supergirl storylines - in particular the Karen Starr and Linda Danvers versions. And suddenly I’m juggling between characters like Tom!

...

INTERVIEWER: What about you, Daniela? You dropped on us a big bomb with that finale! How does it feel to play a character that could potentially be the season’s big bad? 

DANIELA: [Laughs] Scary! When I first auditioned for the character [in season 4], I was told it could potentially play a bigger role in season 5 and if I was willing to keep my contract for that long. I was elated, and they lost no time in giving me two different scenes - both with Grant Gustin. Barry is the heart of the show so whatever rapport we built in that moment would set the tone of the story. I don’t know what the show’s team saw, but they must’ve really liked it [as I was casted].

INTERVIEWER: How does this reveal change your dynamic with Grant?

DANIELA: Well, everything. We’re not talking just about Barry here, there’s also Team Flash to consider. Barry already has an opinion of Dawn, but the rest of the cast has barely interacted with her. Their reactions to her sway Barry, whether he realizes it or not. And then there’s Dawn herself. She has this image of who she is, of what she stands for; we also saw that she doesn’t like change. So this development will cause her a lot of conflict.
