The city of Gotham is on a knife-edge. The last generation growing up in this dark, crime-ridden, and corrupt place have had few ways to escape the all-pervasive violence and greed. Sleazy politicians, dirty cops, and ruthless crime bosses scheme, betray, and kill one another with no regard  or care for the ordinary people trying to survive in this urban battlefield. 

There was one family who showed hope. Who inspired faith that one day things could be different; that the crooks might not forever rule Gotham. The Wayne family were rich, famous, and influential. Their company, Wayne Enterprises, is one of the worlds biggest multinationals, and is involved in medical research, shipping, aeronautics, weapons testing, and much more. Thomas Wayne devoted much of his fortune into developing his hometown, and much of Gotham's ageing infrastructure and public buildings have been updated or replaced courtesy of the magnanimous Wayne patriarch and his driven, compassionate wife Martha.  

And now they are dead. Slain in a mugging in front of their 12 year old son, Bruce. Gotham's guiding light has been extinguished, and the town is struggling to come to terms with the loss. There is a feeling of unbearable tension in the air. All it would take is a single spark to engulf the city in a wave of violence the likes of which it has never seen. It seems that the criminals have won, and Gotham will forever be a haven for the unjust. 

Or will it? Are there any who will stand up for the little guy? The downtrodden, the helpless? Maybe, just maybe, there is hope for this city yet.

This is an RP based on the TV series Gotham, set immediately after the murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne. You can play a criminal, a cop, or anything in between. It's aesthetics and themes will be heavily reminiscent of the TV show too. Show me some interest and we can get started pretty quickly!
