Sometimes it does. Depends on the writer.

And Penguin needs to make sure the crime families are safe first. He'd want you to take down the vigilantes who are slaughtering them.

You'll have to find the family's first. They are hidden now, plus they have protection curtesy of Deathstroke, his militia, and maybe Bane.

You might be a villain then, as mob bosses could be seen being self made people. Maybe you just don't like the government? I'm having trouble figuring out this character's motivation.

That was my problem too, which is why I haven't yet written the biography; I've got a basic idea of what Atlas' back story is going to be but I couldn't finish it without some reason for him to become a masked vigilante. He's obviously going to be opposed to the various government-employed or mercenary characters but I'm not sure how he'd react to Gotham's crime families and, of course, he despises Bruce Wayne due to the charitable work he performs and as a business competitor.

Okay.

Sure, but Bane would also like to take down the Bat once more. So, taking down all the vigilantes in the city? Whether new ones or old ones?

What do you folks think of my Clayface intro?

Pretty cool. What do you think of Scarecrow?

Everyone still at the Iceberg Lounge?

I liked reading it.

Oh it's you. Hopefully you'll do more than just one-liners and posts that have nothing to do with plot this time.

I have improved since the City That Lives .

Posted a second time.

Looking at Snake Eye's bio, I realized how similar our characters are in abilities, although personalities and motivations are entirely different.

Well, your app is more convincing since the last time. I can't gauge the rp sample well from mobile... but it appears a big improvement since the last time I encountered you. Accepted.

It's interesting to say the least.

I have a response I'm working on for Archangel.

Would time travel be considered OP? I'm guessing yes but I'm considering creating two characters who're time travellers but their...well, whatever they use to time travel is broken and they're stranded in 21st century Gotham, would that be acceptable? Also, the two characters are probably going to be brothers and I'll most likely RP them as if they were basically one character so should I apply for them individually or as one?

Depends. The extent of technology would be an important detail. Actual ability to time travel wouldn't just be op but would also severely mess up the plot. Rapid chaos beyond what could be controlled.

They're probably not going to time travel within the RP and will rely primarily on their superior intellects and technology, which will probably be more retro-futuristic (we're not talking 'bout Rip Hunter or Booster Gold time travel here) but I can see your point. What if I used my characters to kind of create a sub-plot, alongside the whole crime families, Gotham supervillains thing for more...Sci-Fi orientated characters? Would that be allowed.

Well maybe if they travel via a time machine and would need time to build on get back it could be used as a reason for their being but you should see what the other.

That's their whole story, they've used a time machine, or similar futuristic technology, to travel to 21st century Gotham but it's malfunctioned and they've got to repair it. Salvaging all of the materials or purchasing them from whoever they can, even criminals, would potentially create an interesting story; I could even write it like a captain or ship's log.

See what the other players think. I'm neutral.

Togeria, I sent a Militia man to you. He was right next to you before your second post...

I'm interested in how it'd go. Penguin could have parts you need. So could Prometheus Rising, Atlas Corporation, and Wayne Enterprises.
