The man to his right explained how the fight was going and said that he had money on the fight, and Oscar noticed that his hands were buried in his pockets. 'Checking that he still has some money left after the bets?' Oscar wondered, taking a sip from his glass of beer. "Marvin Hayes? He's a new guy, right? Not a big boxing fan, but I know that if he's going up against Ives then it's a foregone conclusion that he'll get his ass dropped."

It was then that the guy offered a hand to shake, which Oscar accepted, saying "the name's Oscar." The young man, now introduced as Preston, asked who he was rooting for. Oscar shrugged, taking a swig from his glass. "Like I said, Ives is probably gonna win. But I like myself an underdog, so I'll probably be rooting for Hayes. In fact," he snapped to get the bartender's attention, "whatever money was left from that beer, I want it put on Hayes."

Oscar turned back to Preston, looking him over for a second, then said: "You know, you don't look like you're from around here." He paused, chuckled, and clarified: "What I mean is you don't look like you just crawled out of a gutter and stabbed somebody for their wallet. So what are you here for? Business?"

Getting a WIP up, to show what I have. Probably gonna need to rewatch a few episodes of the 60s Batman show (or the movie) to get a feel for the character.

Bruce Wayne - The Batman (WIP)

BATMAN

---

---

Superhero Name: Batman

Secret Identity: Bruce Wayne

Origin Story: Bruce Wayne was born to a wealthy and influential family in Gotham City. He had it all: a mansion, a butler who became something like a second father to him, and loving parents. However, it all changed one fateful night. Walking home from a showing of The Mark of Zorro, the Waynes took a shortcut through an alleyway, where Thomas and Martha met their end at the hands of a mugger known as Joe Chill.

Bruce was changed by this event, and at the age of 18 left Gotham to travel the world and train to fight the injustice of the world. He returned to Gotham six years later, and adopted the alias of Batman, setting his base up in a cave beneath Wayne Manor and having Alfred assist him in whatever ways he could. During the day, he is Bruce Wayne, resident playboy billionaire of Gotham. But after dark, he is vengeance, he is the night, he is... Batman!

Powers/Abilities: What can your character do? If it's superpowers, outline them here. If it's a character like Batman, describe some of their training and gadgetry.

Personality: What is your character like? Brooding? Hotheaded? Insufferably optimistic? Give us a sense of how you plan to play the character.

Weakness: Aside from being in peak physical and mental shape, Bruce is still a normal human; he can't dodge bullets or take them head on, he can't punch holes in concrete walls, he can't breathe in space (contrary to popular belief), and he still needs to eat, drink, and sleep.

'Nine in all. Five from one gang, four from another. Unsure what gangs, can never keep track of them anyway. Doesn't matter. Must eliminate.' The masked man stalked the site of the shoot-out from a nearby alley, planning his attack. 'All are hiding in cover. Eliminate closest one quietly but efficiently, move on to others.'

With the grace of a cat, the Question crept closer to one of the gang members hiding behind an over-turned dumpster. He was young, barely old enough to be considered a man; more than likely an unfortunate street kid that got wrapped up in the wrong crowd. Or perhaps he's a hardened criminal in the making. Whatever the case, he's a threat, and must be dealt with.

It was easy enough to dispatch the gang member; all it took was disarming him, applying a chokehold, and the kid was out like a light in fifteen seconds. Rinse and repeat for the other four on this side of the street, and that was that. BANG! The Question cursed himself internally for forgetting about the other four on the other side of the street.

Peaking around the corner of the van he was hiding behind, Question noted that the four rival gang members were still hiding behind their own cover taking potshots. It'd be easy enough to creep his way over to the other side of the street, but the Question had a different plan. Grabbing two of the knocked out gang members' guns, he sidled his way into an abandoned apartment building, making his way up to the second story floor.

Pulling his mask up to his nose in order to avoid muffling his voice, Question opened the window, crouching down and shouting to the remaining gang members: "This is the police! Back down or we will shoot!" His response was gunfire towards the window. "This is your final warning! Stand down or we will fire!" More gunfire. "Heh. Wanna play it that way, huh?" With that, he took the two pistols in his hands and fired out the window.

After a few moments of shooting blindly, he heard the telltale sound of loud cursing and running feet. Tossing the guns with a grin, the Question pulled his mask down and chuckled. Taking his journal and a pen out of his trench coat pocket, the Question scribbled in a quick entry.

Question's Journal, November 3rd, 2019; Entry #1
Foiled gang shooting using a little ingenuity, a little stealth, and a little brute strength. Gang members are too easy now. Should consider moving up, battling the mob. Perhaps that's just a one way ticket to Hell. Perhaps it's a one way ticket to paradise for the people of the Wedge, as well as all of Hub City. Who knows, really?
Going to unwind before continuing my patrol. There's a bar nearby. Hopefully they don't water down the beer.

The Question snapped his journal shut, sticking it and the pen back into his pocket. Taking off his fedora, he removed his mask and stuffed it into his trench coat pocket, before putting his fedora back on. Abandoning his disguise, he becomes Oscar again, and walks into the now silent street to enter the bar.

It smells of smoke, cheap alcohol, and bad decisions. A few people turn upon his entrance, but all turn back to watching the TV, which was displaying a boxing match. Oscar casts a glance at it, then heads to the bar. "Whatever's cheapest. Keep the change." He says, sticking a twenty dollar bill on the bar before sitting down in a stool.

Oscar takes his drink from the bartender, then turns to the blond man in the next stool over (@pyroman), who seems to be a bit younger than himself and rather anxious. "How's the fight going?" He asks, nodding towards the television.

Sounds good to me. Not sure how to continue much of Ace's interactions with his crew anyway.

Currently working on a post consisting of Question taking down the gang members in the shoot-out via sneaky beaky tactics. Stay tuned for that.

JLA: The Brave and the Bold!

I am so interested. Gonna go for Batman, playing him in the vein of Adam West's version.

It's in the PiratePad. You can find a link in the first or second post of the IC.

@Blackstripe
Could make a second character to fill our empty Batman/Batman-analogue space, if no one else wants to.

EDIT: Wait, just read the rule for multiple characters. So never mind I guess.
