I am currently intending to give everybody some room to breathe, introduce their characters and find their voices, enjoy the party, maybe interact with Josie and each other a little bit before I drop the murder - but if there's anyone just waiting to get into the meat of it that's fine too.

Watch out.
The gap in the door... it's a separate reality.
The only me is me.
Are you sure the only you is you?

Not me having anxiety because I think my writting is mediocre and you all have great posts thus far 😅
There's only room for one mediocre writer in this RP.
And that's me.
Self-deprecation?
Xandrya be like
Drury Walker, ex-convict - a muscle jobber put away after a gig got raided by Batman. ‘Reformed’ and hired after release by a corrupt Gotham businessman as security detail. Businessman ultimately exposed by Batman too, though nothing able to incriminate Walker. Press ran stories bringing up Walker’s time spent and making allegations that he must have been in on it or even ringleading it, but without evidence Walker was successfully able to bring libel suits against them and score payouts settled out of court before disappearing, presumably ‘retiring’ with his money.
What he was actually doing was turning himself into a Batman For Criminals, using his background and skills as muscle-for-hire and protective detail to market himself as premium heavy for tough jobs. He gets hired on a couple watch-jobs and then lands a small gig as top muscle on a heist for a mid-level mob boss hoping the planned score will put him on a Falcone/Maroni playing field.
Can either have:
job going well even with an appearance from [batfam member], but mockery over his chosen attire and tools and crafted persona causing Walker to snap, subdue the jobbers he was on the heist with, and take the score entirely for himself
OR
have the job go okay until the appearance of [batfam member], where Walker is somehow the only guy left standing and manages to escape with the heist’s score while realizing he’s still outclassed.
Either way Walker’s now sitting on the score plus cash plus the new enmity of the mob boss who hired him plus the batfam are now aware of him, and realizes he’ll be blacklisted from Gotham’s criminal underworld - so it’s time to start building his own crew and organization and creating the jobs, not just getting hired for them.

Now what would a Killer Moth sheet and story look like?
We're one week from launch! Loved everybody's intro so far, and keen to see more. Just a quick reminder that posting guidelines are 14 days from the last GM post, or 21 days from your last IC post, whichever is longer. Looking forward to getting everyone on the board!
If anyone would like to utilize Tremayne or Josie for their own purposes do just give us a shout - particularly Josie who has a, let's say........limited window.

Shoutout to my thesaurus. And ohhhh it's a girl. (unless it was always meant to be like...Josie and I'm just slow af)
Edit: Also have to thank you Roman for indirectly introducing me to the Bloody Beetroots. That song haddd to be used in my banner :P
It is meant to be Josie yes - so everyone make sure you take advantage while there’s still time.
More than happy to welcome someone else into Sir Bob’s fold. I did think ‘omg does Qia know ball or just inspired by my music choices thus far ’ but didn’t want to assume!
Loving everyone's posts so far, the characterization has been really strong across the board. Also love a post that makes me google a word - happy to add 'vertiginous' and 'febrile' to my vocabulary thanks to @Qia.
You'll all be pleased to know our first victim's murder has already been written and ready to drop when the moment is right so make sure you get the time in with her that you want..................before it's too late.............

I couldn't sleep, so... yeah, sorry if there's any typos sprinkled in there. I can only re-read my stuff so many times before the urge to delete it all and start over wins. If there's any formatting issues, let me know, please! First time using the image hosting on the site instead of imgur or ibb, and I am never confident in my ability to not screw something simple up. 😅
FWIW, IBB is fine, it's just Imgur to be avoided, otherwise I get this instead of seeing what you actually hosted:
Fun!
