Personal information

Behind her mask, Katie Kovacs is a nobody. She's a quiet, mousy girl, one that no one would pay attention to unless she directly drew attention to herself, something she's not too fond of doing. She enjoys sitting wherever there's room, reading and writing to her hearts content. She can do this for hours on end, without ever getting bored. In public, she's always been more of an extra.

But that's only when she's Katie. When she's sick of reading under trees, she pursues more exhilarating activities. If she's feeling to antsy for reading, but too tame for crime fighting, she'll go on one of her urban explorations, in which she travels to abandoned urban locations, and finds what secrets they might hold. But more often than not, she instead dawns her uncle's mask, and goes out as a vigilante to solve crimes and end criminals.

While Katie is an excellent fighter, she usually pulls her punches when unmasked, not wanting to hurt anyone too badly, which often leads to her getting pummeled. However, when she puts on the mask, she loses that, and all sense of control. It's then that she goes all out, often resulting in mangled bodies.

Brief Biography:
After her mother died in childbirth, Katie was sent to live with her grandmother, an ex-prostitute, and current wife of a local businessman. It was a rough upbringing, as her grandmother wasn't exactly the kindest soul, and the businessman didn't pay any mind to her, but she managed. 

For the most part, Katie lived fairly normal life, or rather, as normal of one as she could. That is, until she reached the age of fourteen, when package was delivered to her. It contained numerous journals written by man calling himself Rorschach, a grappling hook, and a strange mask with shifting blobs of ink. 

In the journals, Katie discovered that the man Rorschach was her uncle who she never had the opportunity to meet. The journals soon became her main source of guidance, teaching her how to navigate the treacherous world, along with other skills. It wasn't until a few years later that she finally dawned the mask for the first time. Tensions were high between powered individuals and groups, and Katie wanted to help. When she first started, the job mainly consisted of getting the shit kicked out of her. But as she gained experience from walking the nasty streets of Manhattan, she learned to harness her...unique instincts of fighting. With time, Katie uncovered something massive, bigger than just Manhattan. At first it was just a single man, Wilson Fisk, and his less than legal transactions. But with time, she discovered that it was so much more. An underground crime network was plaguing America. Its criminals were thriving as the Avengers and the Justice League faced extraterrestrial and supernatural threats, for there was no one to stop them. The Gods were fighting the Devils. No one was there to save Man. Someone had to do something.

Katie dropped out school. She left home and she followed the path of clues that had been laid out before her. The trail led all over the country, from Lex Luthor's shining city of Metropolis, to the killer clown king of crime's filthy, immoral Gotham. Katie was only one person, a teenager at that, so she couldn't bring it down completely. But she still came to be known as an enormous pain in the ass to anyone who stood in the way of justice. In her quest, she dragged dirty politicians and corrupted businessmen into the spotlight, murdered countless hired criminals and thugs, and destroyed warehouses full of illegal products. The face of Rorschach, once dead and forgotten, came to be known again, feared by crime and innocence alike. 

And then, the war began. During it, Katie didn't stop. While supers fought supers, she continued to pursue the evil of men, those that went unseen in the chaotic battle. It promptly ended with the signing of a treaty and the opening of a school, certainly a strange ending to a war. Originally, Katie saw no reason to enroll in the school. School had never really been something that she enjoyed, mostly because of the rules and the assortment of people who thought they knew more than her because they were older, but the more she thought about it, the easier it was to see that perhaps it wasn't a terrible idea. Her thinking was that, while the school would be attended by the next generation of superheroes, it would also be attended by the next generation of supervillains. And maybe, just maybe if she can pull them from the ground before they bloom, she can save hundreds of lives.

Okay. 

Where do I start?

Ah. Yes. the Alias. 

Rorschach. That is an established alias, used by someone known, correct? She wouldn't be able to use that. I have stated, several times, that Alias's have to be completely new, with the exception of a few, who have already come to talk to me about it, (and yes, this includes you, @Simple Unicycle, hey, killed two birds with one stone!)

Second. 

"In her quest, she dragged dirty politicians and corrupted businessmen into the spotlight, murdered countless hired criminals and thugs, and destroyed warehouses full of illegal products." 

I'm not against the students murdering people in their past... hell, one of mine has... albeit accidentally. But This, along with a few other things, tells me that Katie has already established herself. She wouldn't, it seems, need the academy in anyway. And technically, if she was a well known face... she might have been forced to sign the treaty too. Thereby making her retired, and her secret identity revealed. 

Thirdly. 

"Her thinking was that, while the school would be attended by the next generation of superheroes, it would also be attended by the next generation of supervillains. And maybe, just maybe if she can pull them from the ground before they bloom, she can save hundreds of lives."

The school  is not there to stop villains from becoming villains. It's there to teach each student how not to destroy the world and how to use their powers in a way that the world, which is still recovering, won't be put at severe risk. Once the teachers, or indeed a fellow student found out katie's intentions,, she'd be booted so far from the school she'd probably end up in another world. 

And then there is Barca, who'd just blackmail her. 

I don't begrudge her knowing how to fight and use her abilities, but to me, this is an established character with no room left to grow.

Yes. There is a geneal consensus e about them being low powered. This is for them to develop their powers after all. However different situations do mean different levels of control

As for the rule being for no fourth wall breaking, I have stated I am happy for the child of dead pool to have it-why? Because he does it well:  there is no favouritism going on here-I do not show favouritism. If someone had come to me asking if they could make a child of dead pool o would have allowed it for anyone- hell if someone wants to make a sibling for viciers girl go right ahead. After asking Vicier

She hulk is an alter form correct? Quite similar to Gwen pool. As they already exist as the hulk and deadpool here, they cannot be in this roleplay... or that's my thinking. 

But in any case, I am closing this discussion. Because I feel like it could go on forever and I don't want that.
