The terrifying city of Gotham is Batman's hell and the wonder of many people in the DC Universe. Out of the city has come some of the most terrifying people in the world. From Batman himself to Red Hood to The Joker and even Bane some of these people are monsters capable of destroying dozens of people. Some are capable of making the world a better place. Some are even capable of turning the world on it's head with a flick of their wrist and a press of a button. Some are capable of nothing short of the pinnacle of insanity. Others are capable of showing just how bad good intentions can turn rotten. It was significant turn of events when Bruce Wayne's parents died and or Bruce himself ended up being shot. It created a universe where there was a person called Batman...but what if neither Martha Wayne or Thomas Wayne were shot in that alley? What if Bruce wasn't shot either? What if the gunman simply lost the nerve to do it or his gun jammed? Bruce Wayne or his father would never have become heroes in the first place. This is where this world picks off at. With this change in reality came interesting shifts in Gotham's world. Joker as we know him is never born in the first place. Harley Quin stays at Arkham or Blackgate, Bane never comes to Gotham actively, Falcone and Black Mask run the crime world with a struggling commissioner Gordon who is weighed own by a corrupted police force. This along with many other changes in the world come to be.
Crime is a common occurrence in Gotham made worse is the fact that weapons trade is everywhere in Gotham and weapons are easily accessible. With the people suffering it is inevitable someone or something would come along to try and control or stop this incessant city of death and destruction. Picking off from when Batman year one should have started is our story. Brought together by a mysterious person who is called 'The Caliph of Gotham' a group of people are assembled with a unique set of skills needed to put down these crime bosses either for good or to put them away in prison. To kill or to capture. To slaughter or to protect. The Caliph doesn't care how it's done simply that it is done and that's why he's recruiting an anonymous group of people from all sorts of backgrounds to stop Falcone, to stop Penguin, and to stop Blackmask. All of these men, women, and children are in our hands for the good of Gotham you are being called upon to stop them. The only question is this: Do you accept the email/text sent to you by the man of mystery? Or do you reject it and let Gotham burn? This roleplay will be for those who have accepted the call to action.

Rules:
1. Basic roleplay rules apply being god modding, meta gaming, etc are banned. Likewise RPG's general rules apply that should go without saying.
2. We are only going to be playing as humans. No aliens. Period. Meta humans with actual super powers are likewise impeded. Abilities such as night vision are allowed where as air, water, wind control as well as shape shifting (makes things too easy) etc are barred. Simple super powers are the only things allowed such as the above mentioned night vision, body temperature control, immunity to lethal poisons, etc.
3. This roleplay is standard casual not low. I myself am a high casual player and as such I will be firm in my choices as GM. You can question my choices but what I say at the end of the day goes in this roleplay
4. You need a reason to be in this roleplay. While we are normal humans it goes without saying that a group like this should be able to handle their own. But you need reasons for having your strengths and your weaknesses should be actual weaknesses not all personality flaws.
5. Canon characters are difficult to play with but I will allow them within reason for this roleplay. Remember Greyson, Todd, and Tim are still children if not infants.
6. This will be a secretive group of characters remember of you reveal your identity to someone in roleplay beware of the consequences that may follow.
