@Dead CruiserLet me get back with my Co-GM and I'll get back to ya. You might need to edit some of those details into the actual CS, but we might be able to work with this character. I was sold on the Triple H pic and wolf powers, and if you're good with stuff like sonics and flash grenades messing with his senses that makes things a little more balanced out. When referencing the Hulk earlier and how he's got weaknesses, I was looking at how one of the strongest creatures in Marvel can still be knocked out and subdued with gas, put in an adamantium prison, and if his captors desire killed while in Banner mode. With STRIKE being something like SHIELD they'll likely have run ins with your guy if accepted.

Another thing I need elaborated on, how often does he need to feed? And has he or will he ever snack on an innocent person? Is it just whomever he comes upon at the last minute?

Gotham City Reborn

"Isn't Robin supposed to wear yellow?" asked the newest kid to wear the uniform of Squire, stepping into the larger center of the new Belfry HQ.

"Squire, Overwatch. Overwatch, Squire." Batwoman announced as the two young men stared each other down from behind their own masks.

"I'm no sidekick..." Overwatch began saying towards the new costumed ally, "..but I read your file.You're basically the Robin of England." Overwatch finished replying.

Batwoman looked at the two young men and could tell they had a lot to learn from each other. She thought back to the days when her and Grayson were inexperienced noobs. The bickering, getting the last punch in on the badguys, and their time with Bruce. Bruce Wayne was like a second father to Barbera Gordon. With his death, Babs could feel the weight of Gotham on her shoulders. Batwoman spaced out for a few moments and lost focus. When she shook it off the central monitor came on and a European man with his face hidden in shadows bena to say...

"Master Ba...Batwoman! I didn't expect you to put a team together for several more days..." said the voice.

"I do what I can, Mister Gray. Did we get a new lead?" Batwoman asked while the two young heroes went speechless.

The man in the monitor smiled slightly at being called Mr Gray, "Our reports were somewhat wrong, initially. There IS someone running around at night pretending to be Batman.. however it isn't the Joker as we originally thought." he said.

"Feels like 'Charlie's Angels..." Overwatch mumbled to himself.

"Who do our sources think it is now?" Batwoman asked giving Overwatch a look.

"A teenager took a picture with his smart phone, one moment.... aaaand... here. It's quite obvious who it is, really." Alfred said still remaining in the shadows but pausing some security footage of a man in a black and red suit with a cape and linking it to the Belfry's network.

<Snipped quote by The Kid Lantern>

I can cut his animalism and protean abilities (see: 11-16), everything else is part and parcel with the character.

@Dead Cruiser

I'm just gonna copy/paste the list and work from there.

Fenrir's Powers...

1.) immunity to age
2.) immunity to diseases
3.) immunity to poison
4.) immunity to cold temperatures
5.) immunity to mortal weaknesses
6.) superhuman strength
7.) superhuman speed
8.) heightened senses
9.) nightvision
10.) moves in complete silence
11.) communicates with animals
12.) can summon animals from a distance
13.) can possess animals
14.) instills rage in animals, werewolves, and vamps
15.) supresses rage in animals, werewolves, and vamps
16.) Vampire shapeshifting: talons and bat wings
17.) Werewolf shapeshifting: wolf and Devil Wolf
18.) Death bite
19.) Heightened instincts [wolf form]
20.) Heightened physicals [Devil Wolf form]
21.) Howling Psychological manipulation [Devil Wolf form]
* causes blind panic and terror
* causes mild amnesia
* can be carried by the beast's howl a considerable distance

The thing with some of the other powers is that they make certain powers even more powerful. Nightvision for example... your guy's already got heightened senses [hearing, vision, smell, taste, touch], so is it REALLY necessary? Immunity to disease is fine, but poison as well? Even the Hulk can get KO'ed with a knockout gas grenade and that's essentially poison, however with heightened senses I suppose sonic weapons and flash grenades could be added to the weaknesses, pepper spray would likely fuck his sense of smell as well. The death bite is also a bit much, unless it's only limited to his wolf and Devil Wolf forms. Or limited to only effecting humans. The psychological manipulation as a power [and not just a howl, IDK if it was just used as a howl or if he just had an aura to him...] is also not something the Co-GM and I are fond of, as it would basically have your guy in beast mode controlling other player's characters to a degree. Naturally people would panic and run in fear, but in this city of superhumans, aliens, and chocolate monsters... it wouldn't make sense for him to be able to put fear into everyone.

So yeah, even with dropping five or six powers there's still a few too many. We can continue to work on a compromise, but if you think the character is too far off from what you need as a player we don't have to and we can just agree to disagree when it comes to being OP and the character won't be accepted. He reminds me a little bit of Wolverine with a supernatural twist, but the way Logan is being handled lately the writers want us to believe he can stand toe to toe with even Thor and survive being thrown into the sun and surviving due to his adamantium and healing factor. Marvel Comics as a whole pisses me off more and more with people without heightened attributes basically having the ability to go bullet time and dodge bullets or worse [cut them in half] without much effort.

Gotham City Reborn

OK, so I noticed that we're using an older map but referencing modern locations.

Now, I'm familiar with the Narrows as being 'the worst part' of Gotham. In the Dark Knight movies (not sure about the Gotham series) Arkham Asylum is located in the Narrows.
In the comics during the time that this game's map was created the Bowery (which is where Crime Alley aka Park Row is also located) was designated as the worst part of town.
So for the sake of the game, are the Narrows and the Bowery two different locations? Or the same?

Devil's Square I am sadly not familiar with. Is this also within the bad part of town?

@Divine Darkness

If it's anything that's been created since the map, you can just imagine it squeezing in there somewhere. For example Burnside. As far as the worst part of Gotham, the whole damn city's a mess. Every part of it is just as screwed as the next in some form or fashion. Also depends I guess where your character has ties. Some homeless kid might think midtown is the worst. Some may think the docks are the worst. Sure you get the idea now LOL

EDIT: Also trying to work on a post but I've got some other games I need to post in as well. Working on multiple posts at the same time is a bitch LOL

I think a third opinion would be really valuable at this point.

@Dead Cruiser

I stated before the powers had to be basically cut in half. If you've got ten werewolf powers and ten vampire powers take five from each. Not all twenty PLUS additional powers and a ridiculous healing factor on par with Wolverine or Deadpool. This isn't the first Wildcard Archetype we've seen with over twenty powers. It's also not the first time somebody insisted on a ridiculous healing factor. If altering the CS isn't in your plans, then there's no other third option aside from me telling you to take it elsewhere. Even if somebody was applying for a character like Loki or Ares, if they had as many powers as your guy, I'd tell them to scale it back.

@Stern Algorithm Accepted x 1000. We had an evil genius character, the player just never used him in the game [he might've got one post in actually...]. I've been hoping to get something similar since. The refined character roster is on page 1 of the OOC. The game itself started strong with over 15 accepted characters, but several never got posts in and others dropped out before things really got going.

We've already got STRIKE, which is basically our universe's version of SHIELD. You could alter the CS to incorporate that as her government angle, possibly her employers?
