Gotham: Tempest Rising (DC/Superhero/OOC/Open)

[Bycrest]

This is Batman we're talking about, he probably does. If he doesn't, he'll learn all about it within a week of facing your character.

I hope to see some good things from Riddler, especially since, as PF said, tehre will eb a main big bad trying too manipulate the villaisn all together.

Oh, so kinda like Arkham Knight. Depending on how I make Riddler, he'll either help willingly or just say that his plan happened to help the main villain.

Finished
If there's anything that needs to be fix or could be added, let me know.

[Personal Freedom]

Name: Edward Nigma
Alias: The Riddler
Secret Identity (Yes, No): No
Age: 35
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Villain
Appearance and Personality:
Edward prides himself on his intelligence and isn't afraid to constantly point out the many ways he is smarter than everyone. He can get a bit cocky and narcissistic, which can lead him to being overconfident with his plans and miss that one detail that could ruin everything. For the most part Edward is willing to work with others if they show any level of competence, but he is quick to help himself if he thinks the team up is a bad idea.
(Image)
Abilities and Weapons: Nigma has a genius-level intelligence and is an expert detective. He is also independently wealthy and a master escapologist. Also, he is never with his mark shaped cane.
Weakness(es): Poor fighter and leaves riddles at the crime scene.

Biography: An enigma wrapped inside a conundrum, that is how Edward Nigma would describe himself. As a man of heightened intelligence, he puts himself at a higher standard than the other criminals of Gotham. Originally Edward started out a programmer in one of Gotham's major companies and definitely one of the hardest workers. His genius was underappreciated of course and his boss took credit for his work every time he made breakthrough. Eventually, Edward got tired of the abuse and decided to get revenge on the company.

Using his unnatural obsession with riddles and puzzles, Edward trapped his former boss in a death trap that could only be disarmed if someone solved the puzzles. Confident that no one would, but still not satisfied with his revenge, he also hacked the company's financial account to transfer all of its' money to his offshore account if the puzzles were solve. That way, even if Edward's boss lived through the whole event, his business would be ruined. Batman eventually did come to rescue the greedy CEO, but failed to find out about the backup hack until Edward mentioned it in a riddle during his capture.

After spending some time in prison, and then breaking out easily, Edward adopted the identity of The Riddler in order to test Batman's mental prowess and occasionally attack greedy businesses who abuse their workforce. The fact that there could be someone smarter than him is a challenge to Riddler, and Batman is one of the best opponents he could have asked for.

Accepted.

I hope to see some good things from Riddler, especially since, as PF said, tehre will eb a main big bad trying too manipulate the villaisn all together.

There's gonna be a big bad? Also, did you read the click the links i provided?

Yes, there is going to be a big bad. If possible this rp with have different arcs with different big bads and different ops. In this one there will be a puppet master that most events are tied to. The Heroes will be tasked with finding out who this is. The Villains may go off on their own, but will be approached by agents of the big bad. Unresolved sub-plots can either be resolved after the defeat of the main enemy or brought to the next arc. Once the main villain gains enough influence the repercussions will be enough that anyone who hasn't been engaged in the main plot will find the plot come to them.

As for the Irish mythology, I'm familiar with it, if you can write a decent character around it, then there should be no reason to oppose it.

---

Unrelated, but I think we may have to set a max for villains pretty soon. If people continue to want to play villains we might have to do that you have to app a hero as well.

[Yaana Noore]

Looking forward to this. I suspect Batman will know something about Irish mythology, though he may need to brush up on it once he faces this guy.

Also, someone else be a hero please. Batman will try but he can't do this on his own.

[Tarnen]

Name:Unknown
Alias:The Joker
Secret Identity (Yes, No):No
Age:Unknown
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Villain
Appearance and Personality:

Joker personality is variable at best. He may do something as simple as a (deadly) prank, or hold the city hostage threatening to release Joker Venom. But there are some constants he is manipulative, cold, willing to do anything at the cost of his own life or whomever. Calculating seemingly being a step or two ahead of his enemies and even allies
Abilities and Weapons: An average fighter at least enough to go toe to toe with the Batman and not be pulverized. Has a knack for chemistry as he is able to produce his Joker Venom from a variety of chemicals. Genius in engineering and explosives able to make theatrical and elaborate traps and bombs with ease.
Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Poor Fighter" or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"): The Batman - The Ying to his Yang, one cannot exist without the other. Batman won't kill him due to his code and the Joker won't because torturing the Bat is too much fun for him.
Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, non-DC characters should have an explanation of how they fit in): Who exactly the Joker was before is entirely unknown, even to him as he always changes his backstory. But what is known for sure is that one eventful night at Ace Chemicals fighting the Batman he fell into a vat of chemicals which altered his physical and mental state. This man was reborn as the clown prince of crime terrorizing Gotham for years. He held the Batman above all others making his sole mission in life to prove that the Batman is every bit like himself.

Tarnen, Dough may have been wanting to be the Joker, but i am sure you can work something out.

I am planning an original hero, who was formerly with the GCPD< but was brought back to the force for insurance against the various ehroes adn such, just havent finished the app yet.

He/she can take Joker. I'll take Penguin then.

Hmm... I have an idea for a character... "Bat-Slayer/Batslayer", an ex-soldier using experimental tech in order to help GCPD clean up not only crime, but vigilantism as well.

Hey Shadowell, do you think I can bring in Dr. Monroe from your Batman RP?

[Asterdan]

Name: Lucas Calhoun
Alias: Bat-Slayer
Secret Identity (Yes, No): No
Age: 45
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Government
Appearance and Personality: A by-the-books lawman, Lucas is a no-nonsense type of fighter, willing to use lethal force. He is loyal to the badge, the flag, and the people, and cannot stand criminals or vigilantes.

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible): The Bat-Slayer suit allows him to fly, thanks to the jet-pack, fire the wrist-mounted guns, and increases his strength to slightly superhuman levels (he can lift a car with a little bit of effort). It also grants him night-vision. He is also an excellent marksman, having earned three separate medals for marksmanship, a survivalist, and has advanced military training.
Weakness(es): He is heavily dependent on the suit after a stroke left him unable to defend himself without a weapon, he is a bit of an alcoholic (though he can hold his beer rather well), and he has an unhealthy obsession with ending vigilantism in Gotham. Calhoun is also allergic to nuts and chocolate.
Biography: Born in Gotham City, growing up with the crime and learning how to defend himself at a young age, Lucas Calhoun knew very early on what he wanted to do with his life. As soon as he graduated High School, he joined the military. He served during the Persian Gulf War, toured in Somalia with the UN, had tours in Haiti and Yugslavia, as well as in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. Lucas was high-ranking, with medals in the Pentagon he's never even seen.

During all of his travels, he wished more than anything to return home and use his military training to end crime in Gotham City. As he was away, he heard about the Batman and other Vigilantes. This pissed him off even more, as he felt they undermined GCPD, the United States Government, and the Military. He retired from the military at age 44 and, as anti-Vigilante sentiments grew, petitioned the US Government to intervene. He helped them design the Bat-Slayer suit and was given 'Shoot on Sight' orders for all Supervillains.

While Bat-Slayer is still fighting for anti-Vigilante legislation, he continues to tolerate them as long as they are useful and it's illegal to kill them.

[Shark isle]

Name: Zachariah Conley
Alias: The Celt
Secret Identity (Yes, No): No
Age: 35
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Villain
Appearance and Personality: http://www.zeusfactor.com/wp-content/up ... a-suit.jpg
Zachariah is usually a laid back kind of guy who has a calm attitude no matter the situation. However, when angered, Zachariah turns into a ruthless, cold bloodied killer who has no qualms with causing any collateral while pursuing his goals
Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible): Zachariah is a natural leader and strategist who can come with any strategy on the fly. For weaponry, Zachary usually uses a machine gun, a Colt 1911 and a knife made of sharpened stone.
Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Poor Fighter" or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"): Zachary has poor fighting skills. Also, his obsession with Irish myths makes his crimes easier to solve and predict.
Biography: Zachariah Conley was born in Metropolis in the infamous Suicide Slums. His father, Conrad, was the head of the Conley Syndicate, a infamous Irish street gang. Growing up, Zachariah did not see much of his Mother and Father, so he was practically raised by his grandmother, a second-generation Irish American. Zach's grandmother often enthralled her grandson with stories from her homeland. These stories had Selkies, Faeries, Leprechauns and of course, The Tuatha de Danann and Formorians. As expected, young Zacharia fell in love with these myths, which would effect the rest of his life.

When Zachariah was 16, his Father decided to bring his son into the " family business." At first, his father made his son do various odd-jobs for the gang which included being a drug mule, delivering bribes and spying on rival gangsters. Eventually, he let his son hang out with him and the rest of the gang at their hangout. When Zazh was 16, he killed his first man after the Conley Syndicate's hideout was attacked by Interganag member and in the process, Zach shot one of them through the chest. When Zach was 22, he and his father got into a major argument that resulted in his son moveing out of the Suicide Slums and into Gotham to make a name for himself as a gangster. Zach spent 6 years working for various Gotham crime lords, including Black Mask. When Zach was 34, he decided to go off on his own. Realizing that he needed a gimmick to stand out from the rest of Gotham's riff-raff, he decided to use the stories that his Grandmother told him as a child and use them as a gimmick for his crimes.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Name: Dr. Arthur Monroe
Alias: Doc Splicer
Secret Identity: Yes
Age: 32
Side: Villain
Appearance and Personality: Curious, Impulsive, and quite Friendly but Short Tempered

Abilities and Weapons:

• Enhanced Intelligence from a lifetime of rigorous study
• Reptilian Physiology from mutations making him stronger and more durable, with a few natural weapons (claws and teeth).
• Enfield No. 2 revolver a family heirloom he keeps in his apartment for self-defense
• Mutanium-52 a virus of his own creation that will insert selected genes into the target. It only infects humans and is transmittable through bodily fluids. It takes time for the genes to express themselves. Initial results are seen in a few hours, depending on the changes it could take up to 4 months to fully express the inserted genes. Can be reversed if an original DNA sample of the pre-mutated victim is obtained.
• Syringe pistol for delivering mutagen/virus/tranquilizers to unarmored targets at range

Weakness(es): Cold Temperatures will drain his stamina and eventually make him pass out in a state of hibernation. Short Temper will send him into a mindless rage of violence if provoked.

Biography: Arthur Monroe grew up in Gotham a pretty normal middle-class life, the only child of a bank teller and a nurse. In school, he displayed an aptitude for science and an interest in biology. How funny was it that all life on Earth was written in just 4 letters? Upon graduating High School at the top of his class he moved straight onto college and subsequently medical school with a focus on genetics. It was while in medical school when his father died during a bank robbery by the Joker, Arthur blamed Batman for not killing that lunatic sooner and the law system for not giving him the death sentence. Trying not to dwell on the tragedy, he continued his studies acquiring a reputation for unorthodox approaches to problems. As Arthur received his doctorate from Gotham University, his mother was diagnosed with ALS, he knew what he had to do now. He spent a few years trying to cure her to no avail before death claimed her.

How could he live in a world where men flew and could lift cars but couldn't cure a disease just as easily? He settled into a position teaching genetics at Gotham University as he began looking into gene mapping metahumans, hoping to find potential cures. Though he was quite lacking in samples from prominent heroes, Arkham Asylum was a prime spot to gather not quite human samples. He only stopped by occasionally to pick up samples for his research, rarely seeing the patients. That was before his slow progress and the disapproval of the Dean of Arkham University threatened to shut him down. The research was all that mattered, even though it was now all about to be mothballed. Lab rats and fruit flies only got him so far before Dr. Monroe started insisting on human trials on the patients at Arkham to prove his theories. Dr. Monroe was a bit hesitant but felt like he was running out of options, he had no sympathy for these criminals, sick minds the psychologists failed to help, anything he did would only improve them if it worked. Dr. Monroe currently was focused with turning Killer Croc's condition into a serum for enhancing muscle strength without the savage side effects. "Why should those with abnormal powers be selected by random chance?" he justified this project to himself.

With timetables being shortened and too many test subjects dying from the mutations, Arthur was becoming increasingly desperate to make progress. After a particularly bad night where a patient had broke free and trashed the lab before expiring, Arthur decided to work all night at the Arkham lab, drifting off into a nap as he studied the samples from the patient he heard whispers that brought to him what he was missing. Was it just a dream or otherworldly knowledge he couldn't say, but he was so confident that he perfected the mutagen he injected himself with it in his sleep deprived state. It coursed through his body painfully as his DNA was rewritten, passing out on his lab floor involuntarily spasming. He awoke to find himself a new man, relatively unchanged except certain parts of his skin were greener, but he wasn't dead, finally progress was made. In a few more days the Serum was perfected, with no side effects for the new subjects. Though they appeared human, he was losing his humanity, scales growing in patches, an eye becoming slitted, his left hand growing into a razor-sharp claw, his right foot hurt as claws pressed against his shoe. At least he had his mind right? That would never change! He was better than human now! See it hardly even hurt when he stabbed himself with the kitchen knife for no reason! He was fine! He was better than fine! That crocodile smile full of sharp teeth meant he was happy!

He can improve the lives of so many more people with his discovery! Now that he had the technique down and the mutagen perfected he needed new samples, it would be boring to keep using Croc's. Fruit flys? Why not! Lab rats? Easy! Lion, tigers, bears? Oh my, that would need a trip to the zoo. The possibilities are endless and he still had Arkham to work with! Why did his head hurt so much? No time to think about that, work needed to be done, after all, he was helping people become better than they were before.

[Eraus]

Name: Aaron Darklynn
Alias: He's yet to officially dawn a name but the media calls him various things to which none have yet stuck
Secret Identity (Yes, No): Yes
Age: 24
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Hero
Appearance and Personality: In his normal life Aaron puts forward the image of a young, rich and careless young who's known in Gotham for spending a lot of nights at parties and nightclubs. It's usually when he's not fighting crime
Suit #1-

Suit #2

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible):
Enhanced Agility-Metahuman ability.
Enhanced Strength-Metahuman ability.
Hand to Hand Combat-Trained in various forms of martial arts
Swordsmenship- Aaron has always been fascinated with swords and now carries them with him when he goes out to fight.

Weakness(es): Aaron might be faster and stronger then most but he can still be harmed like an average human. He also has to eat far more then most people thanks to his accelerated metabolism. He also at times lusts for blood which leads him to kill criminals instead of handing them off to the cops which most heroes would do.

Biography: Aaron was born into a wealthy Gotham family. He spent most of his life alongside wealthy people which he often hated. He was a smart but troublesome child, Aaron was fond of fighting his entire youth. Which often was the main reason he'd be expelled from various schools as a youngster. His parents thought that teaching him about martial arts would help discipline him which slowly began to change him.

Once he entered high school, He began to play sports and fight less then he'd done so when he was in elementary school. This was when he began to find himself to be "above" the rest of his fellow teammates. Aaron began to excel in basketball and football, He was often quicker then the rest which he paid no mind to.

Aaron graduated and attended Gotham University to play for their football team. He quit after two years because they constantly accused him of cheating which no evidence was ever shown. After graduating he was given a nice job that paid well working for his dad's company. Aaron's strength and agility quickly began to improve as he continued his martial arts training eventually completely making him "Enhanced" as he'd soon learn

Aaron began to tell his father that recently he'd felt unnaturally strong and his father knowing of Metahumans decided it be best to test his son's blood. He found what he feared, his son was one of them. He'd found the metahuman gene in his son. He didn't know what to do and attempted to ignore it. All the while Aaron began to figure out just how unique he was, He quickly figured out that it made him stronger and more agile then the average human and even the above average human. While he would never be as strong as superman he was sure that he could hold his own against a fair bunch of villains. So he did what any ego based rich youth would do, He began to spend chucks of his wealth to buy equipment and a "lair" to begin running his operations out of. Almost instantly he learned that being a hero was far harder than he assumed.

Eventually, He got being a hero down. It wasn't long until he was faced with the choice to kill a criminal who'd recently forced himself on a few women. Aaron did it willingly and to his shock without remorse, He began to grow fond of how easily killing came to him. Some would say too fond for a hero but Aaron begs to differ

Now Aaron is looking for the next real villain to deal with while also thinking of a Superhero name. Mostly the latter

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible):
Resurrection-Metahuman ability
Extremely High Pain Tolerance Thanks to his main ability
Hand to Hand Combat-Trained in various forms of martial arts

Weakness(es): While he does come back when killed it does take time depending on how badly he was harmed which also leads to him come times coming back in an enraged and dazed state which leads to some "issues" such as harming others or himself. He also at times lusts for blood which leads him to kill criminals instead of handing them off to the cops which most heroes would do.

Biography: Aaron was born into a wealthy Gotham family. At the age of five Aaron's parents left him unsupervised near the pool to which he fell in and drowned, His father minutes later found him dead or so he thought.

Aaron's father attempted to cpr the young boy but failed. It wasn't until just before the Ambulance came that Aaron woke from what he likes to call his first little slumber. Once they did they found the young boy alive and well which led to quite a confusion.

His parents thought Aaron barely survived and him too young to know what had happened. Things changed when he died in a car accident as a teen. During that accident Aaron was flung out his window and into the road dying on impact, He awoke in the ambulance screaming shocking the EMT's who thought they were to bring the dead boy to the coroner. This shook his mind for the rest of his teen years, How and why did he "survive" that accident? At first, he thought it was godly intervention but it wasn't until he'd finished college that he left that idea behind.

It was also then that he was given a nice job that paid well working for his families company that he began to feel the urge to do something for the greater good. During a charity banquet, Aaron and various other wealthy people were taken hostage. The GCPD failed to end the situation peacefully as usual which led to his death along with others but what Aaron remembered that night changed his life for the better, He rose from the dead in the morning and quietly snuck out of the coroner's office before they were open.

It was then he learned he was gifted as some would say. Aaron began to look into others with powers who were using them for the greater good. It was then that he began to go out into the night and fight criminals which at first was a horrible idea leading him to have countless stories which led to his death more often than not.

Eventually, He got being a hero down. It wasn't long until he was faced with the choice to kill a criminal who'd recently forced himself on a few women. Aaron did it willingly and to his shock without remorse, He began to grow fond of how easily killing came to him and soon he'd grown fond of it. Some would say too fond for a hero but Aaron begs to differ

Now Aaron is looking for the next villain to deal with while also thinking of a Superhero name. Mostly the latter





RP Sample: WIP

I find the idea of resurrection troubling. It makes combat one-sided. It is not something I believe villains in the Batman universe can counter.

Announcement
From now one I'm going restrict the number of villains. Anyone who has tagged prior to this post may create a villain, but any new people should create heroes. If they create a hero and a villain I may allow it.

Now time to think up a crime involving Banshees and possibly, a selkie.

[Futrellia]

Name: Richard Grayson
Alias: Nightwing
Secret Identity (Yes, No): Yes
Age: 23
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Hero
Appearance and Personality:

Dick Grayson is a serious but easy-going young man in his mid-20s. He’s in a way the perfect big brother : the nicest, most popular hunk in college, only 5 times as gifted, 5 times as cool, 5 times as smart – and 10 times as dedicated. He will approach everything with the confidence born of amazing talent and incredible training. Yet he manages to never seem pretentious in the slightest, always caring for others and being genuinely attentive. At times, a casual observer might think his Motivation is Thrill of Adventure. He finds rooftop acrobatics or driving the Nightbird just plain *fun*, gets an obvious sense of satisfaction from bringing justice and happiness to the people, and has always some light banter ready for combat.

Although he’s not a motormouth like Spider-Man, he usually seems very relaxed when doing the vigilante thing.

However, what actually makes him tick is a deep, burning desire to make the world a better, safer place where justice actually exists. Like the Batman, he wants no kid to ever suffer the losses he went through. Unlike the Batman he does not see the world as a cruel and harsh place, but remembers the wonderful childhood he had.

This profound difference in their memories of the time before the loss lets Nightwing fight for a better, safer world for honest people around him while his former mentor fight to crush evil. While Batman follows his own obsessive rules, Nightwing is actually sane and a part of society.

Weapons
Nightwing Suit: Nightwing's current costume is made of a version of the Nomex fire-resistant, triple-weave Kevlar-lined material. It is an excellent protection against damage, and it's also electrically insulated. Instead of a black cape for stealth, the suit is light sensitive, darkening when there is more light in the area. The current costume is a stylized red "wing" across his shoulders and extending to his hands, coloring his two middle fingers, over a black torso and legs. Nightwing's costume is tailored specifically to his unique style of crime-fighting. As such, his costume has fewer body-armor inlays than Batman's, anticipating a decreased need for shock-absorption and an increased capacity for motion ("Move more, get hit less."). A caveat of this configuration can be exploited by capable fighters who are both fast and strong, such as Superman. Should Nightwing need to engage an enemy who is capable of exploiting this weakness, he has supplemental body-armor overlays which he can attach to his gauntlets, his mask, his shoulders, and boots.

Utility Belt: Although seemingly unremarkable in appearance, the utility belt remains as one of Batman's most important tools in fighting crime. Composed of a leather strap and a solid steel buckle, the utility belt houses ten cylinder cartridges, which vertically clip onto the outside of the belt. The buckle itself contains a miniature camera and two-way radio. A secondary compartment behind the length of the belt houses Batman's supply of collapsible batarangs. Each of the ten cylinders contains various tools integral to Batman's war on crime. Through the years, Batman has modified the contents of his belt to accommodate various needs.

Escrima Sticks: The Escrima Sticks were a pair of specialized batons wired with tasers, which made them electrified, and were used for most of Nightwing's combat. He carries two on his back as Nightwing, and carries a collapsible one that is painted like a pepper spray container while not Nightwing.

Detective Vision: Detective Mode (Also known as Detective Vision) is one of Batman's most useful gadgets, as it allows him to see people through walls and detect usable and useful objects in the environment.

Remote Electrical Charge: The Remote Electrical Charge gun (nicknamed the REC Gun or simply REC) is a weapon that can shock people with electricity, power up generators and industrial electromagnets.

Grapnel Gun: The Grapnel Gun was one of the main gadgets used by the Bat-Family. It served as a mode of transportation that enabled the user to travel across vast distances and reach places that were simply out of reach.

Disruptor: The Disruptor was a gadget used by Batman and Nightwing. It is used to override normal weapons, from Shotguns to Mines.

Wrist Darts: They are wrist-mounted projectile launchers concealed on Nightwing's forearm capable of firing a dart. The dart injects its victim with a chemical designed to make them fall unconscious.

Wing-Dings: A version of Batman's Batarangs, in the shape of Nightwing's symbol. Carries a selection of ballistic, explosive, and gaseous.

Nightcar: Nightwing has a transformable car with a convertible chassis that enables it to be disguised it as any similarly sized vehicle such as a taxi cab, a police car or a sports car. It houses a 3.7 McLaren racing engine, automatic transmission and all wheel drive, dual batteries and puncture resistant tires. The car is not only bulletproof, but also bullet absorbent in order to prevent stray ricochets from hitting innocent bystanders.

Wingcycle: Nightwing also has his own personalized model of the Batcycle, which he refers to as the "Wingcycle". The Wingcycle is equipped with a passenger sidecar.

Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Poor Fighter" or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"): While he does have superhuman abilities and technology, he is still that: Human. If his defenses are penetrated, he will die like any other person.
Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, non-DC characters should have an explanation of how they fit in): Young Dick Grayson was born on the first day of spring. His mother nicknamed him "little Robin." Little did she know how prophetic this term of endearment would be in her son's life. Also, when he was up on the trapeze, he reminded his mother of a robin.

Dick Grayson was a eight-year-old circus acrobat, the youngest of a family act called The Flying Graysons of The Haly Circus . Dick joined the act at a very young age, having been trained in acrobatics from birth. Before one appearance in Gotham City, in which The Flying Graysons were the main attraction, they were asked to pose for a photo opportunity with Jack Drake and his family, including their young son, Tim Drake. From that time on Tim's one and only hero in the world was Dick.

While on tour in Gotham City, he overheard "Boss" Tony Zucco, a well-known and feared crime lord, threaten the performers unless the circus's owner paid protection money. The owner refused, and that night Dick watched in horror as his parents' high wire snapped, sending his parents hurtling to their deaths, all while many of Gotham's elite watched on. Young Dick felt responsible, because he failed to warn his parents in time.

[Asterdan]

Name: Lucas Calhoun
Alias: Bat-Slayer
Secret Identity (Yes, No): No
Age: 45
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Government
Appearance and Personality: A by-the-books lawman, Lucas is a no-nonsense type of fighter, willing to use lethal force. He is loyal to the badge, the flag, and the people, and cannot stand criminals or vigilantes.

(Image)

(Image)

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible): The Bat-Slayer suit allows him to fly, thanks to the jet-pack, fire the wrist-mounted guns, and increases his strength to slightly superhuman levels (he can lift a car with a little bit of effort). It also grants him night-vision. He is also an excellent marksman, having earned three separate medals for marksmanship, a survivalist, and has advanced military training.
Weakness(es): He is heavily dependent on the suit after a stroke left him unable to defend himself without a weapon, he is a bit of an alcoholic (though he can hold his beer rather well), and he has an unhealthy obsession with ending vigilantism in Gotham. Calhoun is also allergic to nuts and chocolate.
Biography: Born in Gotham City, growing up with the crime and learning how to defend himself at a young age, Lucas Calhoun knew very early on what he wanted to do with his life. As soon as he graduated High School, he joined the military. He served during the Persian Gulf War, toured in Somalia with the UN, had tours in Haiti and Yugslavia, as well as in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. Lucas was high-ranking, with medals in the Pentagon he's never even seen. But all that time, he wished to come back home and use his military training to end crime in Gotham City. As he was away, he heard about the Batman and other Vigilantes. This pissed him off even more, as he felt they undermined GCPD, the United States Government, and the Military. He retired from the military at age 44 and, as anti-Vigilante sentiments grew, petitioned the US Government to intervene. He helped them design the Bat-Slayer suit and was given 'Shoot on Sight' orders for all Supervillains and Vigilantes within Gotham.

Are you gonna place me on the character's list?

[Doughertania]

Name: Oswald Cobblepot
Alias: The Penguin
Secret Identity: No
Age: Mid Thirties
Side: Villain
Appearance and Personality:

Penguin is self-centered, always trying to find the best angle for himself. He also fancies himself a gentleman, and tries to distance himself from his criminal activities whenever possible.

Abilities and Weapons: Penguin has built up an impressive empire in his time in Gotham. While he has a hand in most underworld operations, his specialty is smuggling and information. He has eyes everywhere, including other gangs, and he owns a few dummy corporations which help smuggle his wares. He inspires loyalty in his men, and has a knack for making evidence that would indite him disappear. He employs Raptor, a security firm specializing in taking down metas and other costumed heroes and villains. Penguin also has trick umbrellas, which can do things from fire bullets to fly like a helicopter. Finally, Penguin is a collector, having a variety of weapons, vehicles and equipment that a normal crime boss would find it difficult to acquire.

Weakness(es): Despite judo training and being fairly fast and agile, his small stature doesn't lend itself well in a fight against a more skilled opponent like Batman. As such, he relies on his muscle to do the fighting for him. Penguin also is concerned with keeping his empire and his name clean, making blackmail an option.

Biography: Oswald Cobblepot was often bullied as child for his appearance. Due to his long nose, short stature, and being forced to carry around an umbrella, he was given the nickname "the Penguin." When he finished schooling, Cobblepot embraced the name and took on his family's fortune. From there he started a casino know as the Iceberg Lounge, which would serve as his headquarters for both his legal and illicit operations. Having never felt acceptance, he was determined to find a way to be respected by Gotham, either through fear or respect.

Currently, he's bridges the gap between the costumed freaks like Riddler and old-school mobsters like Falcone. As far the public is concerned, Oswald Cobblepot is a businessman who doesn't believe in the need for vigilantes, and as such is funding his own private security firm to protect citizens from these masked menaces. To the criminal world, he's the person to go to for funding and equipment, though often at the price of information or favors.
