Gotham: A New Generation (OOC)

[United States of Brainy]

Sorry for the all the posts but yet one more, this one about the timeline just to clear up any confusion-

Riddler, Merrymaker and Penguin's discussion happens Thursday night.
The Atom's escapade, also Thursday night.
When Ryan finds Ray in the lab at 1:44 am, that's early Friday morning.
The Queen's attack at Gotham University takes place Friday evening/Friday night.
The freighter with the case arrives at Gotham Harbor between 10pm-midnight, Friday night. Just after the Queen's attack.
The attempt to heist the case will take place while Nightwing and Batgirl are at the Queen's manor home.

[The Nordic Model]

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.

Great and thank you!

Okay, I got it.

Okay, I got it.

I would have put it in the form of a riddle for ya but i don't know any good riddles.

[United States of Brainy]

Great and thank you!

My pleasure, Nordic!

Post is up.

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

I am completely open to it, granted that there would be an appropriate situation for them to get together and it would have to make sense. Because I’m not 100% sure that Atom and Nightwing fit together tonally.

Oh, and post is up!

[Lic]

There are already two Robins in play here, with two guys playing Nightwing and Damian Wayne, but it seems that someone important is noticeably missing. It says that Tim Drake is the leader of the Disciples of Batman, but I don’t see anyone playing him. Is it ok if I make an app for him?

Sure, go for it! I'm the Co-OP running this thread and I play Batgirl. (Also playing the Penguin at the moment.) Submit an app and I'll look it over. The app format is on the first page if ya haven't already seen it. Slight change- for your RP sample, I'd like a two paragraph sample post of you playing Tim. If ya have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, either here or in a TG!

Hero APP:
Name/Alias: Tim Drake/Red Robin
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality: He’s very responsible, kind, and soft spoken. He is never aggressive but not passive either. He has a kind of quiet charisma that makes him stand out from the other Robins.
Faction: The Disciples of Batman
Race: Human
Backstory:
When he was a young child, Tim visited the circus for the first time with his parents. The Drakes asked the Flying Graysons for a photo together, resulting in a momentary bond between Tim and Dick Grayson as they met for the first time.

By the age of nine, Drake had deduced the identities of Batman and Robin as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson after witnessing a gymnastic move by Robin that he previously saw Grayson display in the Flying Graysons. Inspired by the heroes' exploits, Tim trained himself in martial arts, acrobatics, detective skills, and scholastics to better himself both physically and intellectually. When Tim reached the age of thirteen, he saw that Batman had grown reckless and violent following the departure of the second Robin (Jason Todd). After his mother's death and his father's paralysis, Drake decided to intervene and Batman eventually enlisted him as the third Robin. Batman took a liking to him because he saw a lot of himself in Tim; a passionate, self-made hero who was ready to tackle crime because it was the right thing to do. Batman didn’t adopt him out of sympathy like he did for Dick and Jason; neither was he a childish punk like Damian Wayne. While Dick Grayson would always be Batman’s favorite and closest Robin, Bruce saw Damian as the most responsible and effective crime fighter who could fill in his shoes and work in a team. This prompted Batman to give Damian the position of Leader of the Disciples of Batman, Gotham’s new protective superhero team.

Powers/Weapons/Tech:
- Agility
- Utility belt with an array of grapple hooks, small knife, criminal trackers
- Has access to all computer systems in the Bat Cave
- Versed in Judo, Karate, Jujitsu, Shotokan, Zendo, and Taekwondo
- Owns his own “Robin Consort,” a vehicle that can transform into a small jet, a boat, and a bike.
Weaknesses: He is not accustomed to fighting against high-tech opponents, he is much more hand-to-hand. This is not a particular advantage when fighting the modern criminal empire, which has become very high-tech.
Skills: Persuasive, good at debating, is very well versed in the city’s geography.
RP Examples:

Tim Drake
Ouch. The bloody slash on the side of Tim’s face stung like an exposed cut in saltwater. Not any bloke in spandex could be a crime fighter. It required a particular dedication and conviction that would always lead a superhero to victory in the end. Tim had heard very few stories that didn’t have a happy ending for a superhero. Batman seemed to be an exception. Poor Bruce, Tim thought, the ending for him always has a price.

It had been a month since Tim had talked to Bruce. A month since assuming the mantle of the Red Robin, Leader of the Disciples. To Tim, the honor never got old. Of course, being the Robin as a youngster had always been his happiest experience, but Tim knew that happiness doesn’t warrant how important an experience is. Tim glimpsed at the contact on his phone.
“Call Bruce Wayne?” Siri asked. Nah. Batman wasn’t there to save Tim’s butt anymore. It was time for him to step up to the plate. For himself, for Gotham, and for Bruce.

This new chapter in his life required a special kind of responsibility. A new seriousness and strength that Tim never thought he had.

And enemies that Tim never thought he would have either...

Day Job: Janitor at Wayne Tower
Living Place: While Tim also has access to Bruce Wayne’s coffers and estate (being his adoptive son), he prefers to reside in a small house in East End where he can keep an eye on things.
Voice Actor: Brenton Thwaites: Voice Bit
Likes/Dislikes: Likes sports, watching sports, and genuinely enjoys fighting crime. Dislikes arrogant individuals and reckless actions.

Approved! Welcome Aboard!

(Just a couple notes concerning Tim- As a leader of a faction, his actions and decisions have a greater impact than the other characters so I might have to reign you in somewhat as Co-OP if I feel the story is being too adversely affected. Also, have you given any thought about how you're going to insert Tim into the story? How he fits into the current storyline shouldn't be willy-nilly given his importance.)

I do not have a great idea of an arc for Tim. I’d really appreciate your help.

I never noticed that they have question mark earrings until now!

Well, he has a lot more responsibility as leader of the Disciples. He has to look at the big picture now. There's just been an attack by The Queen at Gotham University. Tim has to figure out whether that's an isolated incident or part of a bigger plan. Also, what else might be happening and who can he send to deal with it? His first post should definitely be set inside the Batcave with him monitoring the situation and trying to figure out this mystery if there is one. Also, he might want to check in with the other Disciples if he doesn't know where they are.

Hope this helps. Also, I assume you've been keeping up with the IC story? If you haven't, I strongly suggest you go through and re-read just so you've got a good handle on the story.

(I need to write a post now so I might not be that quick to get back here for probably the next 30-45 minutes or so.)

I take it that they wouldn't be wearing the uniforms when in public. Correct?

No, more casual clothing, there just aren't any pictures of then outside of their uniforms that aren't fan made.

Yeah, I got that, I just didn't want to post "in a Riddler uniform" if that wasn't the case and all that jazz.
