Barbara Gordon Vigilante/GCPD Intern Gotham City Gotham City Police Department/Gotham University
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:


"I tried becoming Batwoman once, but was already typecasted so it never stuck. Well at least it’s a cuter name!"

Barbara Gordon, daughter of the Police Commissioner, has always been a firm believer and supporter of the law but seeing how limited it was at times convinced her to go that extra step to bring criminals to justice. Inspired by the urban legend, The Batman, Barbara decided to become the Batgirl to fight crime and help the law. She has been doing this for a while now.

Barbara is currently a college student at Gotham University with an internship at Gotham City PD working on the tech side of things. While she has been moonlighting as Batgirl she does not know who Batman is and only when they find themselves on the same case have they ever met each other. As such a lot of her equipment is modified police gear and gadgets she has had to create herself or with help.

As more of a solo act and with a lot fewer resources to work with, Batgirl tends to focus mostly on cases that the police are currently working on since she can hack into those easily. Often times she wishes she could do more but between college, her internship, and being Batgirl she’s kind of swamped. At least since she is working in the ‘safe’ part of the police department so her father doesn’t get on her case too much.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

I’ve always found batgirl to be an interesting and fun character to watch, but I feel like even the best editions really don’t do the character justice. Do to being Batgirl, a sidekick character, I never felt like she really got the character development and growth that she deserved. Usually reserved to a support role while I know there are solo comics for her I feel like they don’t really give her the stories she deserves.

So I want to explore her more as a person and put her in a more solo role. What I especially want to delve into is her relationship with her father and the police which gets complicated since her night activities are quite outside of the law. Basically I hope to mold her into a unique vigilante with her own story to tell.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Supporting Cast

Jim Gordon - The Police Commissioner of the GCPD and overprotective father. Jim Gordon has often lamented the fact that he has had so little time for Barbara because of his work and knowing the dangers involved has tried actively to discourage Barbara from following his footsteps. He is a bit annoyed that Barbara has interned at the GCPD but is at least thankful she is in a purely technical role. Barbara is kind of afraid he would have a heart attack if he knew about her night job.

Detective Harvey Bullock - A rough cop with few friends, Harvey is known for being especially rough and sometimes violent. While he does tend to get the job done, it is not always in a pleasant way. Barbara occasionally meets him both on and off the job but for the most part finds him quite disagreeable.

Renee Montoya - Somewhat of a rising star she has had the ill-fortune of being pared up with Harvey Bullock. As his partner she tries her best to back him up but has quite a few problems with his attitude and way of business. Frankly she is hoping to get a transfer soon.

Ellen Yin - A transfer from Metropolis, Ellen Yin is hoping to use her talents to help Gotham in it's constant war on crime. Gotham is a very different animal from Metropolis so it has been a bit difficult in making the transition. Still she is doing her best to be an asset to the team.

Barbara Gordon flopped down on her old bed, her long red hair spiraling out all over the pillow and sheets. She groaned into the pillow as if hoping it would smother out all her problems.

"Uugh, I feel like just drifting off to sleep and never waking up again and I haven't even been doing any night shifts recently." Barbara tried to roll over, but failed and just awkwardly squirmed for a bit even just letting all of her muscles relax. The familiar scent of her old pillow brought her comfort, it had been a while since she had properly been back home. Between her dorm room at Gotham University, the University itself, her times spent doing her internship at the GCPD, and the occasional stalking of the night, she rarely had time to come home.

Because of everything she had been working on recently she had been trying to cut back on her night hours and only going out when she had a lead to follow. Unlike a certain night owl she couldn't function on 4 or less hours of sleep a night, even with an overdose of caffeine, which she tried not to get too dependent on if she could help it. It had been almost a month since she had last gone out as Batgirl.

Suddenly she heard a knock on her door and a very familiar voice coming through. It was the voice that had helped get her through all the times in life she thought she couldn't make it through but did thanks to his help. Jim Gordon's rough but gentle voice filtered through.

"Barbara are you in there? Can I come in?"

Barbara forced herself to turn over onto her back so she could speak without getting drowned out by the pillow.

"Sure Dad, come on in." Barbara said, heard the doorknob click as Jim turned it and the grey haired commissioner walked in. "Guess it's been a while."

A smile came to Jim's face as he walked over and picked an unoccupied corner of Barbara's bed and took a seat, the old bedspring creaked a bit in protest as he put his full weight on it.

"I see the bed isn't the only old thing around here." Gordon joked then turned to look at his daughter. "You look tired Barbara, everything going alright at University?"

"Just a lot on my plate is all, a little rest and I'll be back into shape before you know it."

"You know you would have more time to yourself if you just dropped that internship." Barbara groaned as her dad once again tried to get her away from the GCPD, how dare he use logic to point out something she already knew.

"You know my answer to that dad, it's what I want to do and it's good experience too. You know how much I respect you dad and I want to help out." Jim sighed as he knew Barbara's stubborness was as strong as ever.

"Well maybe after this internship you'll realize just how dangerous this work is and will stay away." Jim commented while Barbara internally smiled but kept a straight face anyway. She knew just how dangerous a police man's work was, she had been on the front lines plenty of times after all. She knew how dangerous it was but that hadn't stopped her yet, though school just might if she let it.

"Not gonna happen. Still, thanks for checking in Dad, it's nice to see you away from the department."

"Nice to be away Barb, it really is. Say, how about we-" Gordon was about to suggest something they could do when his phone started to ring. He quickly picked it up and answered, as the conversation went his face got graver and grimmer. "Gordon here, so what's...I see, I'll be down right away. Sorry Barbara, guess we won't get time together after all, have a situation downtown. Love ya Barb, see you later." Jim reached over and kissed Barbara on the forehead, got up and left the room.

As soon as she was sure her father was gone Barbara groaned and leapt off the bed. "Guess rest will have to wait for now, about time to get back to my real work."

It was time for Batgirl to get to work.

Ended up getting beaten out by another Wonder Woman character sheet, but I put a lot of work into it so into the vault it goes.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T P R O P O S A L

Diana 'Prince' Royalty/Amazon/Demi-God Themyscira Princess of Themyscira


C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T


"The Gods barely bother with Man's World, even though they could benefit the most from their wisdom and strength. I suppose I'll just have to be the one to help in their stead."

Princess Diana of Themyscira is the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and the God Zeus. Gifted with the training of the amazons and the blood of the gods, Diana became an exceptional warrior from a young age. Pleased with her growth, the god Zeus and goddess Hera decided to test the young princess with various trials and tasks. These tasks often included the subduing or slaying of mythological beasts and creatures.

Diana came out on top each time and soon Zeus was satisfied but Hera continued to command the princess with the most difficult tasks she could find. After a while Diana realized that Hera was merely trying to kill her off, as the mere sight of her filled her with wraith, as Diana was another reminder of Zeus promiscuity and infidelity. To remove herself from the gods' direct influence, for at least a short time, Diana decided to leave Themyscira. Her opportunity came when a man named Steve Trevor was washed on shore from a plane wreck.

Learning about what would be known as World War II, Diana used Ares as an excuse to take Steve Trevor back to the military and to get involved in the strange world of man. While she did indeed find Ares' hand in the affair he was hardly the primary instigator and was just taking advantage of the situation. Even if he was only fanning a few flames, she fought Ares and drove him back to Olympus. She stayed afterward to help Steve Trevor on his assignments to help end the war as quickly as possible.

Diana returned to Themyscira soon afterward but the connections she forged and the drive to help not just her own people and the gods, but also the people of man's world remained with her. Diana would find herself frequently visiting the outside world, often using Steve as her main contact, and would frequently find herself involved in matters there.

Hera, frustrated with the fact that Diana had managed to best every opponent sent her way decided to start looking elsewhere for an enemy that could strike the demi-god down. Sensing the alien and destructive power of Starro, Hera guided Diana toward a confrontation with the alien. Diana quickly realized that alone she was outmatched by the alien and retreated to later regroup with the Justice League to defeat the monster.

Becoming a founding member of the Justice League, Wonder Woman was also there for the Chitauri attack and lends her might from time to time; however, her own duties back home keep her rather busy. The world continues to change and Wonder Woman will have to change with it.


C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S




Woman Woman is a character that is constantly being split between different worlds and different responsibilities. An Amazon, a demi-god, and defender of man, these various spheres have their own rules, dangers, and pleasures. Diana wants to be a loyal daughter and servant of the pantheon, but she always wants to do the most good that she can, which she increasingly finds is often outside of the gods and Amazon's influence.

As you might be able to tell from the backstory I am sort of mashing Wonder Woman together with some Hercules The Legendary Journeys TV influences, and of course some classic Greek myth as well. I decided to go with the Zeus daughter route rather than the formed from clay route as it is classic Zeus and makes her much more involved with the Greek and Roman pantheon which I intend to use as key players in this run.

The Greek myths and legends are so interesting and messy, I found myself wanting to incorporate them a lot more in a Wonder Woman story than just having Diana do the typical leaving of the amazons to try and do her best in man's world. The gods are a fickle and obnoxious bunch which I hope to use to great effect and intrigue in a Wonder Woman story.


C H A R A C T E R N O T E S




Steve Trevor – Pushing a hundred-and-eight, Diana still visits him from time to time and to exchange stories. Due to their relationship Steve is still considered a good contact for getting in touch with Wonder Woman.

Queen Hippolyta – The immortal queen of the amazons she was 'blessed' with a daughter by the god Zeus and raised Diana as a proud Amazon warrior and servant to the gods. She is concerned with Diana's 'other' activities and likes to remind her of her heritage and responsibilities as Princess of Themyscira. As a mother, she is secretly proud of all her daughter has accomplished.

Zeus – Current head of Olympus, Zeus is know for his lightning bolts and his intense drive to sire children all over the place, much to his wife Hera's disgust. As Diana's father, Zeus takes a mostly hands off approach, leaving it mostly to Queen Hippolyta but does occasionally stick his nose into Wonder Woman's business when it suits his purposes. Frankly he is most interested in his own pursuits than that of his daughter.

Hera – Goddess of Mount Olympus and wife of Zeus, Hera holds a grudge against any woman that Zeus has been with and despises what she considers to be his 'illegitimate' children, such as Wonder Woman. As one of the gods with the most influence Hera is pretty much free to do whatever she wants, but will back down when directly confronted by her husband, but that hardly ever happens. Since Hera is in essence her mother-in-law, Diana tries her best to serve her despite Hera's obvious disdain of her.

Mala – One of Diana's closest amazon friends, they played a lot together as children and often competed with each other. She is not quite sure what to make of Diana's adventures and while urges caution, still tries to support her as much as possible.

Ares – God of war and Diana's half-brother. Unlike Diana is a full-blooded god and has the arrogance and selfishness of one. As a instigator of conflict he is constantly at odds with Wonder Woman who wishes for peace. Because his is a son of Hera, that also creates even more friction between the two.

From a roleplay I tried to make but really didn't really leave the ground. Mostly saving for if I want to try something similar again.

The Powerpuff Girls!


Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup



Powers And Abilities:
The Powerpuff Girls have superhuman strength, agility, and durability making them extremely tough. Perhaps most impressive is their ability to fly without any assistance at potentially supersonic speeds. Aside from their general powers each girl has their own unique skills. Blossom has an ice breath ability, Bubbles has a supersonic voice plus the ability to communicate with animals and in other languages, Buttercup has heat-vision and is able to curl her tongue. While each is strong on their own their true power is when they can work together to take down their foes, or survive a night at a high school social gathering.


Origin And Backstory:
Professor Utonium was a genius scientist who had it all, wealth, fame, and his beautiful wife, Anna. He was working on a new substance that seemed to have the remarkable ability to transform and strengthen anything it came in contact with; however the effects were unpredictable to say the least so his testing was limited to say the least. As the chemical was a complete unknown variable he decided to name it Chemical X like the much used Algebraic variable in math.

His inventions brought him great renown and fame but his happiest moment was when he learned that his wife was pregnant with triplets. Doctor Utonium was over the moon with joy and all his colleagues could say he was the happiest man in the world, but then Anna got sick and started to deteriorate. No doctor could help her so the distraught doctor could only come to one conclusion, he had to bet it all on Chemical X. As he prepared a batch of the stuff however one of his lab monkeys managed to escape from his cage and having a bit of a sweet tooth and being a kleptomaniac, swiped sugar, spice, and random nice things he could find. The doctor chased him around but while he did, the monkey dropped his items which fell into the vat, broke a small vial of storage chemical X for small testing purposes and escaped the lab.

The doctor had no time for another batch and the Chemical X already absorbed the items, leaving the doctor no choice but to use the contaminated batch in a desperate attempt to save his wife and his children. After drinking the batch, Anne fell into a deep sleep for a while but seemed to recover somewhat. Soon afterward, she gave birth to triplets but died in the process due to complications. The triplets however were quite lively and strangely enough had quite different appearances to each other, so much so that Utonium could only attribute the differences as a byproduct of the Chemical X. He named his daughters Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup in memory of the things Anne loved and somewhat secluded himself from the rest of the scientific community so he could focus on raising his daughters more.

As they grew up he began to notice strange things happening with his daughters, floating off the ground, picking up heavy objects without breaking a sweat, rarely bleeding, once even setting the curtains on fire by staring at them too intensely. Quickly the doctor had to teach them self-control so they wouldn’t accidentally destroy the neighborhood. Once the girls had become twelve, strange crimes and events starting happening around them and before long, the girls were thrust into battle when Doctor Utonium was kidnapped by his previous lab monkey, Mojo Jojo in order to get his hands on the Chemical X formula.

The girls quickly tracked down the evil monkey and defeated him, saving their father and giving birth to the dynamic superhero team, the Powerpuff Girls! Currently the girls are fifteen years old and just starting high school where they try to find balance between their normal lives and superhero ones. It won’t be long before they’ll have to save more than just their town, maybe even the world!
