[quote]Premordial forces are disturbed when fanatic cultists follow archaeologists who unearth a hidden city in South America that was meant to be left buried and forgotten. Inside, twisted creatures imbued by the power of the bat-god [color=white][b]CAMAZOTZ[/b][/color] and determined to bring about the end of the Fifth Cycle by way of the Eternal Night. To do this, the bat-god requires sacrifice wrought by a deathbringer, and he has set his eyes on [color=white][b]CARTER HALL[/b][/color].

Nightwing
-Dick Grayson, former Robin, now former Nightwing, was injured in a fight, left with a bad leg and unable to carry on like he previously had. Basically, a recluse living in a penthouse apartment in Bludhaven.

-This Dick would have to be older than Ruby's Babs. Started with Batman when he was 12, struck out on his own approximately five to six years later and was injured several years into his solo career.

-Source of injury TBD, few ideas tossing around in my head. Could be taken from Beyond where a team up with Batman went South. Could be mutually assured destruction from Blockbuster, betrayal from Tarantula etc.

-A new Nightwing has appeared on the streets of Bludhaven. This Nightwing doesn't follow the Family's code, brutally killing criminals.

-Dick sets out to confront his identity thief, in the process finds himself over his head and is saved by Terry McGinnis. This encounter plays out similarly to the Batman Beyond origin, with Terry realizing Dick was the real Nightwing and setting him up to confront the imposter.

-The imposter is Tad Ryerstead. Upon his defeat, Tad could become 'Talon' or even [i]a[/i] Talon?

-Rogues would be a mix of Batman Beyond and Nightwing with various supporting characters from both. Focus ultimately is on the mentor-student dynamic between Dick and Terry, with new elements introduced due to the significantly reduced age gap. Not to mention the potential for Dick being jealous and/or resentful of Terry 'squandering' his physical peak.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Blüdhaven.

A wretched hive of scum and villainy. 

A cesspool built from Gotham's runoff, anything that doesn't put roots down in Gotham gets flushed into the city-like sewer known as Blüdhaven. A port town, Blüdhaven got its start as a whaling town before becoming an industrial port. The sky is layered in a thick cloud of smog, while streets are constantly filled with fog due to the miles of antique boiler pipe laid beneath cobblestone streets hastily repaired with asphalt and concrete.

But for a brief moment, the city had hope in the form of its very own Bright Knight.

Richard 'Dick' Grayson, the former protegé and Robin of Gotham's Batman, outgrew the shadow of his mentor's cape and, after a soul-finding journey, adopted a symbol of rebirth he learned from a distant Romani relative. From the ashes of Robin rose Nightwing, who took to the streets of Blüdhaven, using the best tricks learned from the Bat to inject fear into the superstitious and cowardly lot that preyed on the vulnerable.

But years of war against the crimelord known as Blockbuster took their toll, eventually driving Dick Grayson to his breaking point, and in a final confrontation, Dick was left maimed and traumatized while Blockbuster was killed.

A former vigilante turned recluse, Dick Grayson has reluctantly enjoyed a simpler life, managing a gymnastics facility and becoming a superintendent over a small apartment complex. However, a new Nightwing has appeared in Blüdhaven, and with it, a trail of bodies, brutally killed by blunt force trauma.

Unable to allow his legacy to be tarnished and fear turned against the people of Blüdhaven, Dick is forced out of his mandated retirement.

The Bright Knight Returns.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Why do you want to play this character, what is the driving motivation behind both this desire and the character themselves. What do you hope to accomplish and where do you want the character's story/stories to go? For a driving character, there should be enough of an outline present to interest other players along with specifications towards how many players you're looking to involve or available roles. For supporting characters, this should indicate either a plot you've arranged to be part of or the type of plot you're looking to be involved in. Roaming characters have the privilege of doing either or simply stating a roadmap for the character to exemplify how you'd ideally like them to move between plots.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][sub]__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[/sub][right][color=silver][sup][i]"You ask, [i]nicely[/i]."[color=2e2c2c]___[/color][/i][/sup][/color][/right][/COLOR][/INDENT]
