Gotham City Reborn iCheck [No Longer Accepting CS's]

@rocketrobie2 In the Brief Bio you used the word Orphan like 12 or 13 times LOL. Change it up a little. Or just take a few out. You don't have to say Orphan armor, Orphan katana, Orphan mask, etc...

@Charcoalhotep All the metahuman spots have been filled unless you use a cannon villain. Can't be walking the line or a hero though. Also, making a mute character makes it a bit hard to tell a story and interact with others.

@Blue Demon You presume too much! I'm a forgive and forget kinda guy.

For any other interested parties.

ALL OF THE METAHUMAN SPOTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND ONLY CANNON METAHUMAN BATMAN ROGUES WILL BE ACCEPTED. NO WALKING THE LINE OR HERO VERSIONS, IF YOU APPLIED WITH A METAHUMAN AND HAVEN'T GOT A WORD BACK... THIS IS WHY!

~KL~

U N I V E R S A L ™ (Accepting New Players!)

@Jotunn Draugr Actually @Parfex had planned on their characters having history, so he might wanna get in on it.

It's been a week, anybody still alive?

Gotham City Reborn

@t2wave's Poison Ivy has been accepted as well as @Double's Zero who takes the final metahuman spot.

Gotham City Reborn

ACCEPTED CHARACTERS THUS FAR...

Overwatch - [Me] - Hero
Brandt - @WanderingSpirit Metahuman - Civilian GCPD
Squire - @Nightwing95 Hero
Rascal & Procyon - @Yvain Villains
Khit - @Lurkerlurks Metahuman - Walking the Line
Madcap - @Divine Darkness - Villain

Two of the three metahuman positions have been filled. Only acceptable metahumans beyond those three are any cannon villains of Batman. Looking for 9-10 players or so total, so there's still plenty of room.

@Lurkerlurks So Khit's mom touched her and she transformed... but you never say into what. Does she transform into purple cat girl from a little girl? Kinda similar to Capt. Marvel/Shazam? My only other critique with the CS is transforming all metals. The bells in her wardrobe would be okay, but she can already teleport and has feral senses. She would be an interesting character to throw into the universe, if you don't mind the one edit and explaining her transforming in front of her mother a bit more...

@The Kid Lantern are we allowed to apply as canon characters?

Nevermind lol, re-read the OP.

@Lord Wraith

Yeah. Just depends how you bring them into the fold. I figured Babs and Dick were the only older sidekicks hanging around anymore, and introduced the idea of street kids eyeing the position of being the new Robin or Batgirl. Similar to We Are Robin, and more as a counter balance to the Jokerz gang, just for both characters rather than just Robin LOL Squire's origin already mentions Damian...

ACCEPTED CHARACTERS THUS FAR...

Overwatch - [Me] - Hero

Gotham City Reborn

GOTHAM CITY REBORN

It all began the day that Batman was reported dead at the hands of an enemy of the Justice League, a demon called Neron. Crime boomed again in the darkened city, and Batman's two most trusted allies were left to take care of Wayne Enterprises and the city itself. Dick Grayson saw to it that the world still believed Bruce Wayne was alive. Using some of the same make-up that went into the creation of Clayface, Grayson assumed the identity of Bruce Wayne with the help of Alfred and Bruce's corporate friend Lucius Fox. It was more work than the former sidekick ever imagined, and with all the gossip on Wayne in the tabloids Dick managed to be a better billionaire playboy philanthropist than even Bruce in his younger years. He even put on an additional thirty pounds of muscle to look the part. Barbara Gordon on the other hand, had the weight of the city resting on her shoulders...

Grayson had things covered making sure the world believed Bruce was still alive. Batman's contingency plan for Batgirl however had her taking more of a role in protecting the streets at night. Babs didn't think 'Batgirl' was the answer. When Grayson was a kid and needed help when Batman wasn't around he formed the Titans. So the idea in Barbara's mind was to recruit other heroes in the fight to protect the city. Bruce's contingency plan included a new base of operations, 'the Belfry' which was cloaked and right in the heart of the city. Batgirl wasn't the answer though. Babs spent the next two nights modifying gear, and even dying her hair black, and rechristened herself as Batwoman. What other would be heroes and possible metahumans will she meet and ally herself with? What new threats await Batwoman and the new champions of Gotham?

All New Batwoman:

THE BADEST BATWOMAN ALIVE...

New HQ, the Belfry:

COOLEST HQ EVER...

Gotham, 11:37 pm...

"I can't believe it..." J said, removing his mask as his jaw hit the floor.

Batwoman, as Babs called herself now, had brought the young would be hero to her new lair. Large bell raised high above them, the thing was solid brass and probably weighed over a ton. The hidden HQ was in the top of an old abandoned church in Midtown. The Gotham division of STAR Labs was less than a mile away as was Gotham General Hospital. For Bruce to leave something like this to Barbara was incredible. Lightning and thunder boomed outside of the large windows looking out at the city, cloaked from the outside so that everyone looking in simply saw an old rundown church bell.

"..it looked so different from the outside!" J continued following Batwoman in and noticing her old Batgirl suit as well as Grayson's first Robin uniform was under glass on mannequins.

"I'm pretty good on a computer, but you and that glove take the cake, Josiah." Batwoman said sternly putting on her best serious face to be more like Bruce had been as Batman, "I'd be willing to help train you more for the field if you can navigate me and some friends behind some locked doors..." Babs continued.

"How could anybody say no to that?!?" J responded putting his mask back on looking across the computers and tech at his fingertips, "Tell me one thing though..."

Batwoman looked with a raised eyebrow under her mask.

"If you're Batgirl in a new suit you can turn off the voice modulator. Builds almost identical, but I'd have to see your moves to be sure.." Overwatch began before Babs spun on the ground tripping the young man.

"You didn't have to use me as a test dummy, but yeah that's gotta be you. You mentioned 'friends' earlier...?" the young black and blue clad hero inquired.

"You're not the first person I've asked to help me defend Gotham. There's an enemy of Batman's running around pretending to be Batman and I intend to track him down..."

Another young ally stepped from behind a wall leading to another wing of the HQ.

~KL~

Gotham City Reborn

Name: Josiah 'J' Walker
Alias: Overwatch

Age: 20

Powers/Skills: Has light weight body armor, a tech glove that's basically a five fingered laptop that can jack into anything, hacking skills, good with anything involving tech. He's also good at sneaking around and being stealthy.

Weaknesses: Average human weaknesses. His light armor only protects him from small arms fire. Certain areas vulnerable to bladed weapons, and heavy arms fire can rip through the armor. Never gets enough sleep, always up late on the computer or tinkering with his glove. Average h2h skills for someone with little to no training. He's watched 'Rocky' like a hundred times and a huge fan of ex-boxer Ted Grant.

Alignment: Hero
Personality: Honest, blunt, scatter brained, impatient, tired
Appearance:



BRIEF Bio: J was born and raised in Gotham, Park Row in the Bowery. He came from a poor family, and his dad was a drunk. However he acceled in computer classes and tech and eventually came to create his hacking gauntlet. Able to jack into nearly any computer network, J got himself out of his home situation when he used his hacking skills to make an ATM spit out over three thousand dollars shortly after his eighteenth birthday. J got a cheap place of his own, however he still checked in on his monther weekly.

After a year of using his hacking skills to pay the bills, he was approached by Batgirl to help her defeat another hacker called the Calculator in a borough on the outskirts of Gotham called Burnside. He was inspired into creating a costumed identity of his own and has hacked the radio signal in Batgirl's cowl more than once the last several months to aid her against a splinter cell of Kobra. Now after the death of Batman, Babs assumed the mantle of Batwoman and asked J [called Overwatch now] for assistance with hacking behind enemy lines to stop a warhead from being sold on the Gotham black market.

Now with one victory and assist under his non existant belt, J hopes to one day be a vital resource in the fight against the Gotham underworld.

Storylines:

* Barbara and Dick were the only sidekicks in this universe, so J will fall into the role that was once Babs' and get access to the Belfry early on.

* I want to go up against the Calculator [again] and a couple hired goons [like Deadshot and maybe... Capt. Boomerang?]. No idea what the finer details would be at this point LOL

* Babs and maybe a hero with more exp than J can train him in h2h and he'll begin carrying a baton as a weapon.

Notes: [maybe if I think of something...]

THE BADEST BATWOMAN ALIVE...

New HQ, the Belfry:

COOLEST HQ EVER...

Map of Gotham:



In the comics there are quite a few heroes and villains to come out of Gotham. You can reimagine one of the existing ones, create an original character, or even be a cop from the GCPD or a thug in the Jokerz gang if you want. There's even a group of street kids trying to be the next Robin or Batgirl... The idea is for this RP to be a sandbox, with Batwoman as a GM NPC moving any larger plots forward. You can come in and do your own thing, join a group of heroes along with Batwoman to defend Gotham, or you could even do something like come in as a newspaper reporter or be a civilian living in the same crazy world as the rest of us.

The RP is loosely based on the current arc of Detective Comics and uses new concepts such as the Belfry, as well as my Titans of Gotham RP from awhile back. Rather than use the current Batwoman, I had Babs step up and assume the mantle to inspire others. The biggest difference in this RP and the Titans RP is in this game you can be a hero OR villain of any age. And rather than Grayson/Robin being the dead guy, it's Bruce/Batman.

Any interested players can look to the iCheck for this RP for more details and CS requirements. I'll be going over completed Character Sheets shortly and assembling the group for the game. Any new applicants can go ahead and post them here in the OOC but only accepted sheets will be asked to post in the Character Tab. Accepted players and characters will also be edited into this post over time.

GM NOTES 6/24/16 : Still room in this at the moment.
