As you can see, we have a limited roster of five and there are ten of you. So, not everyone is going to get a roster spot (or maybe even the color they have in mind), so keep in mind when applying you have a strong concept for their personality/archetype/background that will make them stand out to increase their chances of being selected. Some of you I know quite well, others I haven’t talked to in years, and the rest of you are complete unknowns to me. As a GM my goal is to not step on too many toes if I can help it, so I will make a character sheet deadline of Thursday, October 23rd. This should give people ample time to figure out what they want to do and crunch out a sheet in their free time.
Adjusted Thomas' age to accomodate for the idea that Bruce Wayne would have been @Lord Wraith's Clark's age had he not gotten murdered. Added Allies/Enemies, Timeline, and a Table of Contents for future posts for the Batman CS. Have an appointment in about an hour-and-a-half. The another after lunch, but should have the energy to finish/start posts sometime throughout the day.

A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Peak Human Condition Thomas Wayne doesn’t look his age. His reaction times are still sharp and he has committed to a strict regiment to keep his reflexes sharp. At fifty-seven years of age, he looks remarkably younger due to a battle with Ra’s al Ghul that plunged both the men into the notorious Lazarus Pit. Such an interaction has slowed the aging process as well as tampered with his brain.
◼ Espionage & Stealth If you hear him, it’ll be the last thing you hear. Thomas knows the benefits of being quiet and hidden. He has trained with the League of Assassins following his son’s death and employed their methods to some degree in his war on crime.
◼ Lethal Combatant Trained in boxing, krav maga, and a variety of other martial arts, Thomas Wayne utilizes a methodical and brutal manner of physicality when deposing his foes. In his youth, he admired Ted Grant, the Gotham-born Heavyweight Champion of the World, and following his wife’s mental break studied with some dubious elements of the world. Batman’s crusade is not one you want to be on the receiving end of.
◼ Medical Expertise Thomas Wayne was once an expert surgeon with an expertise in cardiothoracic and neurological procedures. He can call upon these skills in his investigations in Gotham, and sometimes on those who make those investigations challenging.
◼ Tactical Analysis & Investigation The study of criminology is one Thomas has curated after years of arduous preparation and practice in the field. “The world’s greatest detective”, a snarky adage employed by certain members of the GCPD has run somewhat true. He knows how people tick and how organizations operate. How else could he dismantle them so the loss of his son would never happen to anyone else? -
T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Arsenal Thomas has employed the WayneTech designs to fight his war on crime, often with the help of Lucius Fox.
◼ Wealth The Wayne Family has lived and directed Gotham City since there was only 13 Colonies in America, a prestigous family that comes with wealth that aids him in his war. -

Prior to his vigilante career, Thomas Wayne was notorious for his once-in-a-generation mind. He was one of the most acclaimed surgeons in the world and often guest lectured at the University of Gotham which is where he met his wife, Martha Kane.
Martha Kane would introduce him to the world of social justice, charity, and her inner circle of friends. In many respects Thomas was the brains and Martha was the heart, and it caught the attention of everyone. A bitter irony that would lead to the murder of their son, Bruce, eight years later at the hands of a man named Joe Chill. It would be the undoing of both Martha and Thomas in ways no one could have anticipated. A bitter, abhorrent curse fit only for Gotham City.
Obsessed with vengeance, Thomas fell into a depression of rage and sorrow. He lost sense of himself. His oath as a surgeon, and his values instilled by both his family and Martha. It didn’t take long for the symbolism of a Bat to inspire his mutation into a creature of violence and retribution. A rot that would intoxicate his soul for many subsequent years; and so he became the vigilante known as The Batman.
For it was the criminal underworld who destroyed his family, so he too, would destroy theirs.
And he would start with Francesco Falcone, the man who ordered Joe Chill to kill his son to send a message. It would be only fitting that Falcone would receive a much more brutal, painful, and final message. It was then, after killing Falcone, that the domino fell. The Batman continued to target the crime families, their corruption, and their taint on the city. It would eventually lead to new influences to come to the city, or to rise from the shadows, and some of them happened to be creatures driven by Gotham’s darkness. Soon Gotham became a place of monsters and maniacs. So the stories of The Batman began.
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
Batman was one of the first mainline characters in Ultimate DC, then run by Andy and Master Bruce, that I ever wrote. I feel like returning to the beginning but doing something different with it should be my goal here to keep my interest in a comic-based concurrent game. So this is where my brain went.
It also helped that I’ve recently been rewatching the Flashpoint adaption of the comic book arc that DC Animation put out some years ago.
This concept is not one where Bruce Wayne is Batman or even alive; it is an interpretation of the brutality and precision of Thomas Wayne in the face of a tragedy that broke him years ago. At this point in his career, Thomas Wayne has fought a variety of foes in Gotham City and has found himself facing the same question Bruce often does in the middle of his career: does his presence invite the madness that has come to Gotham, and is he merely a deterrent and not a cure of Gotham’s darkness?
I am leaving more tangible certainties of his backstory open to collaboration. The book is open, though I will have enough foundational pieces present and be clear in what kind of Batman he is and has been. He’s still a hero, but if people in the mainstream continuities were skeptical of Bruce due to his methods, then Thomas would make them believe Batman is beyond saving – or at least for a time.
I know I am already playing Black Canary - and I have no intention of voiding my interest in doing so - but this is something I’d like to do in parallel. This will character-lock me to Gotham, but I’m hoping it’ll be acceptable despite my first Black Canary (as of the time of this writing) being a work in progress. I never expected Half Pint to stop being Batman, so the next best thing is someone who has been wanting to play this exact concept for over a year now. I can’t pass up this opportunity. If accepted, expect my full commitment to this game as a collaborator.

Oh you, you wouldn't like me If you saw what was inside me
how would you describe their personality?
“Stop talking to me or be prepared to swallow your teeth.”
Tia has a demon lurking inside her, and contrary to popular belief she doesn’t want friends. She’s kept herself distant with pretty much everybody who has tried to interact with her, even when she is paired with them for school projects. For the casual observer she’s the clichéd rebel, the angsty girl who smells of cigarettes (who smokes actual cigarettes anymore?) and unlike other resident edgelords doesn’t give her opinion on things unless asked. She isn’t prone to being boisterous, preferring to lean into being a moody bitch that wants to be left alone.
Deep down there’s more to her, but it is an uphill battle getting her to show any sort of weakness, any sort of flaw. This mysterious loner schtick makes her appealing to a certain garden variety of men and she really hates it.
what has their life in Angel Grove been like?
Tia is new to “Angel Grove”. She doesn’t have much of a family and seems to spend more time being a burnout than actually improving her life.
what can they do? what are they good at?
Outside of how to waste all of her time doing absolutely nothing? Surprisingly, quite a bit. She’s perceptive, a good fighter (she claims she grew up doing jiujitsu), and has a keen eye when trouble is turning a corner. She can drive cars quite well for someone who barely has a California driving license, and knows Angel Grove a little too well for someone who hasn’t been in the state for more than a few months.
Of the five would-be rangers, Tia is quite possibly the nicest to Charlie. Which is weird, because for a burnout person who doesn’t do friends you would think Charlie is the exact person the newcomer would dislike the most.
