Rated M for: Brutal violence, Blood, Gore, Strong language, Substance abuse, and Sexual situations.

It's been 17 years since the Wayne murders. Gotham has descended into an even more terrifying sort of chaos. Crime has taken over even further with the Falcone and Maroni families waging a gang war that has torn the city apart. Amidst all the chaos Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham after his 10 year absence.

Rules: You may be anyone, canon or original, provided they fit in the timeline, and excluding those outside the core Batman mythos, (For example, while Superman and Batman have a long history together, he is not considered a core part of Batman's mythos).

Ask me or my Co-GM SlenDC before doing anything major plotwise as I have a plan for the main story. Otherwise, anything goes.

Bio

Name: Bruce Wayne
Alias: The Bat-Man
Age: 25
Appearance: 6599
Skills/powers/weapons: Bruce has mastered 127 forms of martial arts, is fluent in most languages, has Masters degrees in Chemistry, Forensic sciences, Computer science, and Biology. He also is a master of stealth and is a master detective. He is a skilled marksman, and as Batman, carries a revolver loaded with rubber bullets, a grappling gun, smoke pellets, and tear gas.
Bio: After watching his parents die in front of him because of a mugging gone wrong, Bruce Wayne made a vow to combat the crime that plagued his city. When he was 15 Bruce left the comforts of Wayne Manor to travel the world and learn the tactics and skills necessary to wage his war on crime. Now 25, and a perfect human specimen, both physically and mentally, he has returned to his home. Name: Edeline Charnock
Alias: Shutterbug
Age: 22

Skills/Weapons/Powers: Excellent kinetic vision, quick reflexes, calm under pressure, many years of experience studying the Keysi Fighting Method, one hell of a cook.

Equipment: A trusty old Canon, a well-fitted bulletproof vest, a lock-picking set, several easily hidden knives and brass knuckles.

Bio: Edeline (Eddy to her friends) grew up on the roughest streets of Gotham amongst mobsters, murderers and thieves. She was a bright flash of life in a world that was constantly trying to extinguish any spark of hope or rebellion. And the irony of it is, the tougher life got the brighter she shone. By her mid teens she'd already dropped out of school and made her own living with odd jobs and (mostly for rush of exhilaration) by stealing from the crime bosses.

Having casually studied various forms of martial arts already, she moved on to a hybrid of many different techniques called the Keysi Fighting Method. It was a brutally efficient and easy to learn close-combat style which relied heavily on the use of fists, arms and elbows. In some circles it was called the perfect street fighting style, partly because the correct application allowed one to defend and attack against large groups of opponents - even up to 15 or 20. Although it seems impossible, its beauty lay in its simplicity. Someone like Edeline who's studied it religiously for almost 8 years could truly be called a self-defence machine.

She puts the skill to good use by patrolling the streets in the dead of night looking for thugs and thieves to foil in their criminal acts. Her slight stature and husky voice lent itself well to a simple disguise as a young boy, so she decided to roll with it and is infamous in some criminal circles as Shutterbug, a punk kid with a camera and lightning quick punches. They find Shutterbug to be more of an annoyance than a real threat, but she intends to change that soon enough.

What motivated her to pursue such a dangerous hobby? Above and beyond the need for safety in such a dangerous city, she wants to play a part in the clean-up of her dirty little corner of the world. The brutality she played witness to from such a tender age made her hard like tempered steel and sharp like a razor. She feels it would be a shame to let such strife go to waste.

Other: Her alignment is Lawful Neutral.Name: Selena Kyle
Alias: None as of right now
Age:22

Skills/Weapons/Powers: Selena is the best cat-burglar in the world. There isn't a security system that she can't bypass with ease. Stealth is her main asset. If she gets confronted, she is no stranger to using her feminine wiles as a distraction. If that fails, she can hold her own in a fight. She has turned fighting dirty into an art form. She used her natural grace and flexibility to make everything look effortless.

Selena has a satchel that carries whatever tools she needs, from a lock-picking set to mirrors to anything you can think of. Also, her gloves have retractable diamond tipped claws that she uses to cut through glass or for scratching up anyone who gets in her way.

She doesn't have powers in the conventional way, but she does have a connection to any feline and can get them to go what she wants.

Bio: She knows nothing about her real family. She lived at a home for girls until she ran away at the age of 12. That's when her life of crime started. She started small as a pickpocket and shoplifting. Then, she started breaking into homes and eventually into mansions. By the time she was 18, she was best cat-burglar in the city.

She has stolen enough jewels and other items to live very comfortably with her 10 cats. At this point, she is getting rather bored since every time she goes out, there isn't a chance that she would get caught. She has considered multiple times to stop stealing, but never follows though for long. It's not like she kept everything she stole to herself. Only the rare cat related items and a few jewels. The rest, she donates to animal shelters, orphanages, and homeless shelters. She doesn't quite consider herself a villain, nor a hero. She looks after herself and occasionally does the right thing when it aligns with her interests.

Other: She obviously has a thing for cats.Name - Dylan Falcone
Alias - Little Brain
Age - 20

Skills/Weapons/Powers
Intelligence - Despite the way that he acts, Dylan is very knowledgeable in the areas of both book smarts and street smarts. He often off puts this factor to make people underestimate him so that he, in effect, can strike quickly.

Hacking - This intelligence that he has puts him in the position to hack into most any system that he finds, using this skill, he aids his Uncle Carmine in certain crimes.

Parkour - Now although he isn't agile enough to perform any amazing feats of acrobatics, Dylan can get from place to place quickly traveling by buildings and things of that nature.

Hand-to-Hand Combat - Is more so skilled in boxing but if possible can land a few good kicks in.

Pistols - 9mm Pocket Pistol.

Bio - Dylan grew up on the ugly side of Gotham with his Mother. No one knows what happened to his dad. His mother didn't want to necessarily be very involved with her older brother's life of crime. She remained constantly working and never really had time to be with her son. Dylan, even though was able to go to school, was often lonely and picked on. It was mostly because of the fact that he wasn't very assertive and was a pushover at one point. Then, his mother was shot and killed due to the fact that she was related to Falcone. This didn't make much of an impression on Dylan though as he never really saw his mom anyway. Now having to live with this Uncle of his, he had to get used to living a life of crime. He learned just how much of a "dog eat dog" world it was. It was through that that he decided to become more assertive. This assertiveness gained him more respect and this respect gave him confidence. Then he learned confidence is very efficient in this game of life, and he needed to be able to do a few more things to survive in this city. He learned to fight from underground brawls, used his knowledge before to his advantage. Falcone noticed the kid's smarts and began to have him do little things to help out the gang. After that, he worked his way up to becoming a near full fledged part of Falcone's Gang, earning the nickname "Little Brain" because of his sharp wit.

James Gordon. Salvatore Maroni, Alfred Pennyworth, Harvey Bullock, Oswald Cobblepot

Okay. So do you just want heroes like Batgirl or could I do a villian like Catwoman?

Technically Catwoman is more anti hero than villain. Ivy, Harley, and the like are villains.

@Jason Todd and @SlenDC

Hey guys! Are you still planning to continue this?

DCaesar of Wakanda
10-10-2015, 01:14 PM
Yes I assume he is. I am not sure of all of the details myself which is why I'm remaining silent because of the fact that he has plans that he isn't telling me about. He just asked me to be a co-gm so....here I am.

@Sparkz Personally, I'd like to keep costumed characters to a minimum right now. Catwoman would not be Catwoman right now as Batman has not yet come into being.

@versace69 Bruce will become Batman over the course of the rp.

@zaphod yes The Rp is still happening

Jason Todd
10-11-2015, 10:01 PM
Hey guys! I just wanted to go over some in universe stuff real quick.

First off: Jim Gordon is just now arriving in Gotham. I hate the whole he was a mentor to Bruce thing. Also, no other costumed vigilante exists yet. The JSA is retired, Superman hasn't moved to Metropolis, and Wonder Woman has not yet come to man's world.

Needed characters: Before we start the rp I would like for someone to Rp as these characters: Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Carmine Falcone, and Salvatore Maroni.

Jason, need me to edit mine as well or is she alright as a small-time nuisance, more than anything else?

Jason Todd
10-11-2015, 11:43 PM
You're fine Zaphod. Though you'll probably get hurt, if not a lot worse. Gotham is a rough town, especially for dogooders.

Zaphod
10-11-2015, 11:48 PM
She can handle herself pretty alright, and she's not too reckless. Dogooder or no, she can fight just as dirty as the worst of the mobsters.

Jason Todd
10-11-2015, 11:52 PM
That's the spirit! Just waiting on SlenDC and Versace to make characters, then we can start, I'll play as Gordon and the others for now.

Hey Jason. Could I possibly play as a character related to Falcone and NPC him?

I was thinking of making like an OC nephew or something...
