Batman was a thing of the past.


After the mysterious death of Bruce Wayne nearly a decade prior, Gotham City only began to get worse. Several of Batman’s allies kept the fight alive but in time they all moved on. Barbara Gordon was the only one who remained and after serving on the GCPD for several years she became the new Commissioner. The city was on the edge of chaos until hope came in the form of a new street gang. The Robins fought back against the Jokerz gang and were more help than the police would ever dare to admit. While she didn’t condone putting children in the line of fire, after several arrests took place following a gang war Gordon discovered a couple of the Robins were metahumans.

Gordon knew she had a better shot at protecting Gotham with a team of metahumans, and after disbanding the Robins she took the pair of super-powered teens and began recruiting for a new team. The Titans of Gotham would come into existence with the aid of Oracle, whose identity was only known by the two former Robins gang members. The team would be comprised of metahuman teens from in and around Gotham and its neighboring cities. Gordon gave the team access to an underground bunker that was built for Batman and his allies years prior to his death. The bunker itself was practically a miniature Bat-Cave complete with a 3D printer and costuming device. It appeared as if one of the Robins, Spoiler, and Batgirl had used the secret HQ last; however everything was covered with dust.

Gotham itself was something of a sight. While it wasn’t quite the Neo Gotham some envisioned for the future, it was well on its way there. Industrial Park had already begun to embrace the future technologies of the world, as did the GCPD and other emergency services. The police, fire department, and EMS crews all had access to hover cars and vehicles. The Bat-signal that used to sit on the old GCPD building was still on the roof of the new building, and the coup de grass for any tours of the department. The criminal element of the city had also adapted. Bane’s daughter had taken over his Venom operation, pushing new patches called slappers on everyone from athletes, to gym junkies, and even law enforcement. After the disbanding of the Robins, the Jokerz gang decided it had nothing better to do than go to war with itself and now there were two factions fighting for criminal supremacy. A vigilante known as Peace Keeper 01 was also wreaking havoc executing criminals for the pettiest of crimes, as well as a couple crooked cops he didn’t even bother exposing before murdering in a public area. He gained favor with the citizens of Gotham after taking down Poison Ivy and Black Mask, however more recently after firing on and killing several citizens for speeding he’s went off the deep end.


Who will answer the call of Oracle?



You can make an original, or remake an existing character in some form or fashion, but know the majority of Titans history except for a few enemies will be left out. Presumably no other teen heroes really exist in this DCU. We'll fight mostly Batman enemies and a couple wildcards and an original of mine so long as the game keeps running smoothly. The year is roughly 2035 or so, not quite the Batman Beyond future but not too much farther off. I used elements from Future State, Batman Beyond, and the more recent Batman and Joker comics to come up with the setting.

Character Sheets must include but are not limited to:

Secret ID:
Alias:
Age: [15-19]
Home Location: [your options include Gotham, Midway City, Metropolis, and Bludhaven]
Powers:
Weaknesses:
Equipment: [best believe Oracle is gonna have a few of us with utility belts, pockets, and pouches]
Appearance: [remember there’s a 3D printer to make duds for us all]
Personality: [5 words best describing your character]
BRIEF Bio: [this shouldn't be a problem as none of us are really trained or have more than a few months experience]
Notes: [anything else you need to add?]
Sample Post: [give us an idea of what you bring to the table, no less than 1 or 2 paragraphs with dialog!]

This is meant to be a Titans team with an edge, since they’re based out of Gotham. That horrible Gotham Knights on the CW is the last thing this is meant to be like. I’m not looking to recruit anybody applying with a new take on Robin or Nightwing, ya gotta have a metahuman power and an identity of your own. I’m likely playing with an original character with Static type powers, or possibly a limited Multiple Man type of character. Either way whichever one I go with my guy will be one of the two Robins recruited from the gang.

If I can get 6 or 7 solid character sheets from players we’ll get this thing going.

Secret ID: Javier Ramirez
Alias: Arcana
Age: 17
Home Location: Gotham
Powers: Arcana possesses the ability to channel the mystical powers of tarot cards. He can draw cards from his deck and manifest their effects in the real world. Each card represents a unique power or ability. For example, drawing the "Strength" card grants him enhanced physical strength, while drawing the "Justice" card allows him to create energy-based constructs for defensive purposes. The potency and variety of his powers depend on the card drawn and his understanding of its symbolism.

Weaknesses: Arcana's powers are tied to his tarot deck, so if his deck is lost, damaged, or stolen, he becomes powerless until he acquires a new one. Additionally, he requires concentration to draw the desired card accurately, making him vulnerable to surprise attacks or distractions.

Equipment: Tarot deck, multiple smartphones, a small knife, and a shoulder bag.

Appearance: Arcana is a Mexican-American boy with a lean build and an athletic physique. He has dark, wavy hair and deep brown eyes. His costume consists of a black and silver bodysuit with arcane symbols adorning the sleeves and legs. A flowing black cloak with a silver lining completes his mysterious ensemble.

Personality: Intuitive, resourceful, compassionate, determined, introspective.

Bio: Javier Ramirez grew up in the heart of Gotham, surrounded by the city's dark alleys and looming architecture. As a child, he always felt a connection to the mystic and supernatural. One day, he discovered an ancient tarot deck hidden away in his family's attic. Little did he know, the cards held dormant powers that would shape his destiny. Inspired by the tales of Gotham's protectors, Javier took on the mantle of Arcana, a guardian who wields the arcane forces of the tarot to fight against the city's criminal underbelly. Though lacking formal training, he is driven by a sense of justice and a desire to make Gotham a safer place.

Notes: Arcana's tarot deck is not ordinary; it possesses an otherworldly aura and seems to have a will of its own, occasionally guiding him towards certain cards or whispering cryptic messages in his mind.

Secret ID: Natalie Ellis
Alias: Wireframe
Age: 17
Home Location: Metropolis

Powers: Natalie's molecular structure has been permanently affected by an alien weapon. As such, she can turn any part of herself into metal wire, including all of herself if needs be. The process of restoring herself into her human form is a transformative one and thus she can heal from most injuries to her human form by turning the affected part to wire and back. The wire is a dark, metallic grey in color, roughly 30mm in thickness, and significantly more durable than commercial steel wire of the same thickness.

Weaknesses: For both good and ill, the wire has all the properties of ferrous metal. It can be affected by magnetism, and conducts electricity. The metal wire connects to her nervous system so extreme heat and cold, chipping the metal, or aforementioned electricity would cause her severe pain and possible injury or death. If any part of the wire is severed, the only way for it to be reattached is to be welded back on.

Equipment: A smartphone and a cheap 20 year old motorbike

Appearance: Natalie is a tall girl with a lithe, athletic frame and, though not a tan per say, a healthy complexion to her skin. She had short, black hair that looked layered yet shaggy, as if she had gotten proficient at cutting it herself. Her eyes were a dull brown with a weary, doughy shape, and were prone to getting crow's feet after only one night of poor sleep. Her makeup was either minimal and natural, or dark, heavy and punky, with no in-between. She tended to wear vests and sweat pants casually, and didn't own many clothes.

Personality: Sarcastic, prickly, protective, outspoken, loyal

BRIEF Bio: Natalie grew up boucing from foster family to foster family. She never knew her real parents. Seeing as how they gave her up for adoption the moment she was born, she didn't really want to. The older she got, the more she understood and sympathised just how hard it was merely looking out for number 1 when you're on the bottom rung of society. When she was thirteen, she started working in a cafe as a pot washer and later as a waitress, which is still her job to this day. She saved up enough for motorbike lessons and then for her own bike, to stop relying on lifts from her current foster parents.

One day, during a fight in Metropolis being Supergirl and some alien invaders, an Alien Weapon was fired that affected a city block and turned anybody who's skin was touching an object, into that object. Hundreds of people were affected, and died. The power in the cafe hd gone out due to the tremors of the battle, and thus Natalie was touching the power cable when the blast hit, turning her into a pile of wire. Somehow, through sheer desire to survive and to keep on living, she discovered she was able to will herself back into a regular human form.

I'm reading over the first few sheets rn, figuring out dinner, etc. There's a couple that really look like they hit the sweet spot, and the sample posts are gonna be the deciding factor. Some of the sheets don't seem like what I'm looking for, but I'll wait till I've read through everything before making any decisions. Thanks for all of the interest and if you haven't submitted a CS yet GET AFTER IT!

@Ignorancebliss I dig the concept, but there needs to be some sort of limits with the powers you gain cause a deck of cards is a lot of mf power. If you could stick to using a handful, and maybe just call a lady of the night a prostitute instead of a whore... this could totally work for the RP.

@Silver Carrot I think this is the one that hits the sweet spot. The sample post and the imagery of her hand at the end of several wire cables connecting it to the rest of her arm... oh yeah. Wireframe is accepted.

@BaileyBlue302 This character seems more suited to something anime themed. Just doesn't seem superhero enough, if that makes sense. Somebody that is possessed by a fox spirit would be kinda cool, but as she is Queen doesn't fit.

@Blizz Already spoke to you in Discord lol

@Dead Cruiser Seems like equal parts Damian and Red Hood, and I didn't want any Robin analogs. Doesn't help he's using an old alias of Grayson's for a codename. And an Al Ghul. And trained by assassins.

@FalloutJack If Trask was more like Zeta from the Zeta Project and less like a Terminator and armed to the teeth he could work. If you could rework that bit he'd have a place on the squad.

I *think* that's everybody. IDK how I read the sheets out of order, but sometimes it just happens that way. Let's see some more sheets!!

@Omega Man This one's a bit of a niggle on my part. I liked the original concept of Zeta back when he was first showcased on Batman Beyond. I didn't like that between that time and later, when he returned to Gotham, he got pretty flakey. I was going for the Zeta vibe, but this is also a Teen Titan sort of group, so the guns and tool use is also very Cyborg. I can toss the extra gunnery and replace with other gizmos on the basis that he and Barbara would actively argue over this, but can we compromise on physical pulse weapons, which would just be a projected pounding, as opposed to lasers, explosives, etc?

@Omega Man OK to be perfectly honest I've read maybe one comic that ever had Damian in it. And none with Red Hood. So beyond the superficial, the comparisons are lost on me. My primary inspiration for the character was actually Shadowhawk, with a bit of Agent 47. You're going to have to spell out what constitutes a Robin analogue, as from where I'm sitting "knife-obsessed vigilante haunted by ghost-assassins" is a pretty far cry from the Boy Wonder.
