[@Odysseus] More than one would be fine. I'm glad there's some reception to the idea of character loss. As for the names, it isn't my first time seeing someone be reminded of Batman, but Lovecraft's Arkham Asylum existed some time before DC snagged the Arkham name for its own use. [@RBYDark] I understand your concerns, and I'm glad you could share that plainly. That has always been an issue I've encountered in roleplays and have been unable to remedy. However, I don't want you to rule yourself out by any means, as there are any number of ways your character could take a temporary absence. Perhaps we test the waters in the initial stages of the roleplay and go from there? [s]Still working on the sheet.[/s] EDIT: Here's the sheet as it is now. It's not formatted, but that's all I have time for at the moment. If you'd like to make it pretty yourself, feel free, just keep the same information.
