[COLOR=gray][color=silver]◼ [b]The Kane Family[/b][/color] The Kane’s are an old family in Gotham City, going back as far as the city’s founding in the 17th Century. Many institutions in the city as a result have come from Kane money. There have been politicians, doctors, artists, and educators within the Kane estate for years and despite the personal tragedies and struggles of the family in recent years they seem to be soldiering on. 

[color=silver]◼ [b]Kane Industries[/b][/color] Following a merger with Wayne Enterprises in 1973, Kane Industries serves in the current day as a subsidiary in charge for the medical and biochemistry developments in the company. Its old rivals, Ace Chemicals and Strader Pharmaceuticals have faded from relevance for many years now.

[color=silver]◼ [b]Kane College[/b][/color] In Gotham you either go to Gotham State University (GSU) or Kane College when choosing higher academia. Kane College is the older of the two, dating back to around the time of the American Industrial Revolution. It has specialized institutes for medicine and psychology, as well as a prolific program for the arts. It is still a robust institution to this day.

[color=silver]◼ [b]Brentwood Academy[/b][/color] Established in 1952, Brentwood is an elite private junior and senior high school in Gotham City. The Kane Family have donated swaths of money to upholding and improving the academy's facilities for years. Scholarships are often granted to public school students who show promise in some kind of academic field.

They believe Alice to be their messiah who can bring their secret plans into motion. Several key members were arrested by the GCPD in early 2021, but there are many members still at large.

[COLOR=GRAY][indent]As Batwoman, Kate finally found herself–a woman who had finally come to terms with her dishonorable discharge in the United States Armed Forces, with her abduction as a child, and with the weight of the entire Kane Estate on her shoulders.

But finding herself meant that the darkness that had swallowed her for her whole life was brought onto others. And so too did the shadow of her past become infected with the darkness she thought she was free from. In her second year as a vigilante she came to odds with a secret society of occultists called [color=FF0000]The Religion of Crime[/color] and at the center of its nucleus was her twin sister, Elizabeth, whom the Kane Family had thought to have been killed when the twins were abducted in 2005. Elizabeth, reborn as [color=FF0000]Alice[/color], sought to bring Gotham to its knees. However, despite her scheme’s failure she too slinked back into the darkness when Kate had a chance to end it, but failed to commit. 

It has been almost a year since. Despite working in parallel to The Batman, Kate remained at odds with him and his mission; as well as his cabal of operatives. As far as she is concerned: she is alone.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=GRAY][INDENT]This is a slightly modernized retelling of Kate Kane’s early years as Batwoman given the attributes of a scaling timeline. She wasn’t kicked out of West Point, so her military service record is fairly filled in this version. She’s been effectively working as Batwoman for three or four years. Her father doesn’t help or even know she does what she does and I’ve incorporated elements from the DCAU film “Mystery of the Batwoman” into her backstory and supporting cast. Only a year ago she was fighting the toughest fight as a vigilante and she isn’t truly affiliated with the Bat-family outside of wearing the Bat symbol as a sort of identity, purpose, and ideal.

Largely, outside of occasional team-ups if permitted Kate is on her own and a large part of her current arc is getting past her early “stick-in-the-mud” hostility to other vigilantes. In terms of her would-be villains I have ideas of setting her against traditional Batwoman foes like the [color=FF0000]Wolf Spider[/color] and the returning [color=FF0000]Religion of Crime[/color] as well as traditional Bat-family and Gotham elements such as the slew of organized crime in Gotham, [color=FF0000]Anarky[/color], [color=FF0000]Killer Moth[/color], and the like. I’m trying to be malleable with the prospective Batman players so whoever they are they can do their thing and I can do mine and outside of referencing events in our respective posts we can essentially do what we want with little issue.

I hope I can make this work and you'll have me.
