[hider=Rat Boy]
Secret ID: Chester Prince 
Alias: Rat Boy
Age: 15
Home Location: He's originally from Central City, but moved to Gotham
Powers:

Rat hybrid physiology: his meta gene gave him the appearance of an anthropomorphic rat including some of their skills, and other unnatural abilities. 

Enhanced agility: he is much more agile than a normal human.

Enhanced Senses: He has whiskers that have better sense of touch than the human fingertip and his sense of smell is several times stronger than normal person. His hearing is strong enough to pick up noises that normal humans cannot hear and can detect much higher frequencies, into the range of ultrasound.

Shrinking: he can shrink down to the size of a black rat, which makes him have a height of exactly five inches.

Rat Control: he can telepathically communicate with and command rats, he can even project his mind into one and perceive through its senses like a powerful telepath. This power also allows him to tell the location of any type of rat within a two mile radius.

Teeth and Claws: His meta gene has caused him to have sharp claws and sharp teeth, which he can use to attack enemies.

Weaknesses: Rat Poison is like kryptonite to him and even though he has normal human vision, bright flashes of light are more disorientating to him. Aside from his teeth and claws, he has the same strength and durability of a normal human and while he is small his body strnegth is proportionate to his size. 
Equipment: he has a utility belt with smoke bombs, flash bang grenades and small knives that he mostly uses for utility rather than combat. Finally Chester wears a suit that can shrink along with him and also makes whatever he's wearing shrink as well. 
Appearance: Chester looks like an anthropomorphic rat with white fur and stands at about five feet tall. He wears a sci-fi style black and red jumpsuit that is waterproof and fireproof. He also wears weather boots that are resistant to water, heat and electricity. Originally his costume was a bright red and yellow, but batman thought that a darker and more stealthier kind color pattern would do better for him.

Personality: Chester isn't what you would call your brooding Batman style hero and loves to pop a joke every now and then. His humor is witty and dark and it is main form of self defense against those who insult him because of his appearance. Thanks to his powers Chester has developed a bit of an inferiority complex and his rat like appearance makes him not very trusting of people finding him attractive, though he tries to hide it if he can.

He has a love of rats and even before his metahuman abilities activated Chester considered them his favorite animal and had several as pets. He always hated that many people considered them disgusting vermin and pests, it also annoyed him seeing all of the tropes in fiction where rats are evil and few are good. Chester is very smart and cunning and prefers to use his street smarts over just brute strength.

He is friends with Ray Palmer who was his dad's best friend in collage and was grateful that the scientist was able to create a size-changing suit for him. His personality did somewhat change after Robin's death and occasionally has spouts of depression and anxiety. Almost like with the late Robin Williams, Chester tries to use his humor to hide his emotional problems almost like a mask.

BRIEF Bio: Chester is the son of famous scientist Lionel Prince who was the collage best friend of Ray Palmer. His father and mother lived in Central City when he was born and Chester's earliest memories where the fun times he had in the city. Eventually his father got a job offer in Gotham by the city government trying to encourage scientific research to start flourishing in the crime ridden city and boost its economy. This job would pay more money and it had the attractive idea that his father would be helping the city progress into the future.

And so when he was thirteen they moved to Gotham city and he was enrolled in one of the private schools. School life wasn't like it was back in Central City. His fondness for rats and him talking about the pet rats that he kept made him an outcast among the prestigious at the school. Their words of disgust at the thought of owning rats made Chester mad and he didn't socialize at school very much. It was when a couple of the bullies at his school started to torment him by talking about how they torture rats that made him activate his meta gene.

His appearance became like those of rat and the bullies screamed in horror and ran away from him. Thanks to his rodent like appearance his parents had to take him out of school and his dad looked for options to fix his son's appearance. Chester didn't want to go back to who he was, his meta genes had revealed who he really was underneath. As time went by he discovered other abilities including the power to shrink to tiny size.

It was then that Ray Palmer came to him and revealed himself to be the superhero known as the Atom. He asked Chester what he wanted to do with his powers. Chester replied telling him that he wanted to be a force of good and help end the myth of rats being all bad. Ray agreed to help him and gave him a suit that would shrink along with him. Chester now with his new suit and abilities became the teen hero known as Rat Boy. 

It wasn't long until he was contacted by Robin to join a team of young heroes and he agreed. Things went bad quickly when Robin was killed and Chester was injured by the super villains Multiplex and Deadshot. His emotional state now worse for wear, Chester hopes to honor his dead comrade by making sure that criminals in Gotham get brought to justice.

Notes: Don't eat his cheese or insult his human and non human friends otherwise he might bite you.
Sample Post:
Chester groaned in terrible pain as he felt a bad blow to his head sting horribly and his surroundings felt blurry. He was bleeding from his nose and several areas on his body, his suit wasn't made for protection against physical attacks. Chester then also noticed that he had been shot in the arm and remembered the mercenary Deadshot shooting in his direction. Luckily it had only grazed his shoulder and he wondered if that had been intentional.

When his visioned a bit he saw more blood on the ground and the body of another individual on the pavement. Memories began to flood back into his mind. Robin had told him and some other young heroes to meet him here, but they were then attacked by the two super villains. He had tried to help the young hero, but Multiplex had beaten him into unconsciousness just as Deadshot had shot him. It was agony just trying to get onto his knees and he could feel the comforting nuzzle of rats beside him.

"Chester are you alright?" they asked him in a slightly high-pitched and concerned voice.

"Ah...I'm...I'm fine. Where's the others where's Robin?" he asked still a little confused.

"Dead" one of them responded. A deep well of shock and horror filled him and he looked closer at the body on the ground and saw that it was indeed Robin.

"Damn it!" he shouted as he slammed his fist onto the ground and winced in pain from the action. He remembered slashing several of Multiplex's clones in the face and gnawing on them viciously, but it didn't stop him from getting the snot beaten out of him.

"I failed my teammates" he said to himself. His sensitive hearing then began to pick up the faint sounds of police sirens far away that were getting louder.

"More humans are coming" a rat said to him and he nodded, the authorities would soon be coming and there was a chance he could be arrested for his actions. That's when Batman told them to go home and burn their suits and not take up heroism again. Chester thought about it, but a part of him said no and was determined to see justice brought to those so wronged by people like Deadshot and Multiplex. 

He then heard Bolt give his response to Batman, but the dark vigilante disappeared with Robin's body into the night, leaving them alone. Chester decided that it was time for him to go and shrank down to rat size and hopped onto the back of one of the city rats. He then let the animal take him home and thought about what the future would hold after this terrible night. 

"I've got to get better at this" he said to himself. He thought that this was the end of being part of team when sometime after he got a message saying [i]"Meet me at this location, midnight."[/i] with an address on it. Chester suspected that it might be from Batman and he wondered if there was a future for a team. He looked at his pet rats eating cheese while on his shoulders.

"Well I guess that this team may happen after all" he said to them with a bit of a sad smile on his face.

"As long as there's food then will be happy" the both replied nibbling on their cheese. Chester wrote down the address and when it was close to midnight he suited up and headed off in the direction of Grant Gym.
