Gotham: A New Generation (OOC)

[United States of Brainy]

YAY!!! Don't let the dogs bite ya!

And whatwhat, did The Atom just boost a Ferrari?!! That's like a felony right there! Yeahhh...I don't think a jury is gonna buy this whole "white drawf star" defense.

Damian! Sure, go for it!

I'm actually not sure how I should go about getting into the estate because I'm not sure how it's laid out.

I'm actually not sure how I should go about getting into the estate because I'm not sure how it's laid out.

Well, I don't think there's a hard and fast layout. I would just use the intro post to the manor Auphelia did as a loose reference and just use your discretion. Just remember, the grounds are immense, probably about the size of a small national park. Let's figure 5-10 miles from the gate to the manor. And that's the shortest possible route and of course, that's not factoring in the security measures that will be pitted against you. Of course, your goal might not be to get to the manor. Maybe you just want to get to a good observation post where you have a clear line-of-sight to the manor and can peek through the windows with binocs. If you have a laser mic, you could probably listen in.

Hero APP:
Name/Alias: Damian Wayne/Robin
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality: Righteous, but conniving and jealous; tends to be instinctively savage in battle, but calculating as well.
Faction: The Disciples of Batman
Race: Human
Backstory:
Damian's origin was initially unknown to Batman. Genetically perfected and grown in an artificial womb, Damian was intended to be a formidable warrior. He was raised by his mother Talia al Ghul and the League of Assassins. He became a talented martial artist before his teenage years, at which time Talia reveals 12-year-old Damian's existence to Bruce Wayne and leaves him in Batman's custody at Wayne Manor in an effort to disrupt Batman's work.

Precocious, spoiled, and violent, Damian felt an intense jealousy of Time Drake, the current Robin. He battled Tim, whom he wanted to replace as Robin. After defeating Tim (who was going easy), Damian goes out fight crime in Gotham as Robin; this disgusts Batman, who quickly shunned Damian by placing him under the care of Jason Todd (unbeknownst to Batman as the Red Hood). During this time, Jason and Damian grew very close – although when Damian learned that Jason was secretly the Red Hood, their relationship was fractured. Damian agreed not to reveal Jason’s identity, but left his care and hasn’t talked to Jason Todd since. Although misguided, Damian genuinely wanted to aid his estranged father’s war on crime as he is Bruce's son and wants his approval. Unfortunately, because of how he was raised, by Talía and Jason respectively, Damian lacked any sort of common sense in regards to social behavior, and believes that in order to be accepted by his father, he must kill any rivals, which included Tim Drake.

Before Batman’s departure from Gotham, Bruce personally paid a visit to Damian to ensure that he joins his new “Disciples of Batman” organization. Damian reluctantly agreed to please his dad, although he is incensed by the fact that Tim Drake is the leader. Damian hopes to someday become the leader of the Disciples and meet his idol, Dick Grayson (aka Nightwing).

Powers/Weapons/Tech:
- Owns his own mini “Batmobile” that doesn’t contain as many weaponry features but has a self drive feature and can move as fast
- Owns an array of pistols, which he uses substantially more than the other Robins in battle
- Uses a Katana and two machetes
Weaknesses: His links to the criminal community and love for his mother Talía Al Gail can prevent him for wholeheartedly fighting crime without bias.
Skills: Skilled businessman despite his young age, skilled at copying voices.
RP Sample:

Damian Wayne

Click. Click click click. Click. Bam bam, bam bam! Fighting away on his Wii U in Super Smash Bros was always an entertaining way for Damian to get away from it all. If only he was allowed to do as much of the fighting in real life!

In a flurry of frustration, Damian turned off the game. What was the point of killing time with these pointless methods of attaining happiness? Gotham needed true protection. Even if his overbearing Dark Knight dad or contemptuous Tim Drake wouldn’t let him, Damian was adamant to become the true guardian of Gotham.

Damian got up and paced the house. Teenagers had so many responsibilities, and so much pressure. Damian wanted to ace that math test, please his dad as a member of the Disciples, and protect the city in the tough way that he saw fit,

The pressure wasn’t there when Damian stayed with Jason Todd. As a former Robin himself, Jason used to train Damian in the art of pure muscle battle. Jason was really the only person who understood Damian. Damian wished that they could still talk. But alas, Jason aka the Red Hood was a criminal. How could they be on friendly terms?

And this was the ultimate problem for Damian: how could he balance his superhero lifestyle with his criminal links? Could he ever find peace with either side?

Extra Information He is obsessed with Nightwing.
Day Job: School.
Living Place: Wayne Manor
Voice Actor: Stuart Allen
Likes/Dislikes: Dislikes Tim Drake

Looking good, Mank! The only thing missing is an RP sample. If you don't have a sample from a previous RP, you can write a two paragraph RP post as Damian. Slot it in right before 'extra info' in your app and label it 'RP Sample'.

Thanks!

ACCEPTED! WELCOME ABOARD!

*runs off to read Sterkistan and Bycrest's posts*

[United States of Brainy]

A riddle! Awesome! And hahaha, how quickly Dick loses his cool. What happened to "lighthearted and upbeat?"

Great posts, you two!

Okay, going to bed. Night everyone!

I got him with the more serious tone because this is a personal matter. The lightheartedness pretty well applies to everything else. Dick does have quite the temper too, if his fights with Batman have proven anything.

[The Democratic Marxists]

Second post is up. Took longer than I expected. I hope I can sensibly link the Atom to some other things going on in the RP. Maybe a team up along the line with Batgirl or Nightwing wouldn’t be impossible?

At any rate, with the amount of collateral damage he just allowed, plus stealing someone important’s car, The Atom is gonna be really hated by Gotham’s establishment, and by other superhero factions I suppose.

Yeah a teamup could happen. Depends what it is it involves though.

[Tamrida]

I am excited to see where the storyline with the Riddler goes.

[Pax Nerdvana]

Post is up.

[United States of Brainy]

Post is up.

Nice post, Pax!

Same goes to Marxists, Model and Tam!

Hey, Nordic Model, even though Ryan's a civilian, it looks like he's going to be your primary character, so I better give your app the once over and make sure everything's okay. And welcome aboard!

Hey, Marxists and Skerkistan, how do you feel about Atom and Nightwing being buddies?

And yep, Tam, I'm excited to see what the Riddler has in store too! Which reminds me, Pengy needs to make a phone call.

Okay, I'll have a Pengy post and maybe a Gotham Harbor post in a couple hours.

[United States of Brainy]

I know that minor characters don’t need an app, but I’d like the guy who plays Atom to see this, since Ryan Choi is an important part of Ray’s lore:

Hero APP:
Name/Alias: Ryan Choi
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:

(Image)

Personality: Snobbish, Pretentious, Immature, But an Intelligent young man nonetheless
Faction: None (not yet...)
Race: Human
Backstory:
Ryan Choi grew up in a wealthy family, Gotham’s cream of the crop. His father was a banker who often engaged closely in deals with Wayne Enterprises. Ryan’s mom was the CEO of Ace Chemicals, Gotham’s premium chemical producing factory and warehouse. Choi had a guarded childhood, fueled by his parents snobbish behavior about who Ryan mixed with. Therefore, Ryan was a lonely child and turned to his academics for consolation. Ryan was completely home schooled and new complex quantum physics by the age of 14. Nevertheless, he wanted to intern with his hero, Dr. Ray Palmer, who made revolutionary discoveries in the quantum physics field. Of course, Choi had no idea that Palmer was The Atom. But one can only imagine his joy when Dr. Palmer got a job as a professor and researcher at Gotham University. Ryan immediately got a job working as a lab assistant to Dr. Palmer’s. Alas, he has not got the opportunity to meet Dr. Palmer in person yet; Ryan has heard that Dr. Palmer is a very busy man.
Powers/Weapons/Tech: None yet...but is there a potential superhero in the making!
Weaknesses: Extreme narcissism and ego has led to Ryan being quite an immature and disliked person.
Extra Information: Ryan despises Batman and other superheroes; he believes that they weaken the general populace by building reliance on supers.
Day Job: Internship at Gotham University as a lab assistant to Dr. Ray Palmer’s research team.
Living Place: The Choi Estate in Diamond District.
Voice Actor: Eric Bauza
Likes/Dislikes: Likes science, dislikes “idiots” and liberals.
Theme Song:
Did you read the rules? Yes

APPROVED! I'll count your first post as your RP sample. If he does become a superhero, you'll need to update your app and I'll have to review and re-approve just to make sure he isn't overpowered.

[United States of Brainy]

Also, new rule- If the non-powered civilian character you're playing is your only character then it counts as your primary character and thus a 'major' character and you will need to submit an app for approval.

[Bycrest]

I am excited to see where the storyline with the Riddler goes.

At first I was going to just say no but then I figured playing along would actually prove useful.

I mean, its a puzzle box, how could the Riddler resist that? And I just re-read both your posts and I don't think another Pengy post is required so feel free to continue your talk between the two of you.

Considering we both left... But yeah, the puzzle box is what sealed the deal for Riddler.
