Current I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

Also looking forward to seeing Kate's reaction if this means that Bruce spilled everyone's secret identities on her.
Especially since we know Steph's going to just be staring at her the entire time.
Hey, I AM a GM. Also a life long and fanatical Gotham City/Batman fan, and a decent writer. I feel very confident Xtreme and I share a vision at what this game is at heart, and where it's headed. With all that in mind, I have to say I'd rather people not so much say this RP is a focus on the Batfamily. Yes, at first glance. Absolutely. ...but really? Deep down? It's all about the characters. If think you've got a brilliant character slant that you think could be a fascinating read, like a redeemed Riddler, go for it. Knock your brains out. No promises, but X is open minded, and I value creativity above all else. I'll start a list of ideas for characters if someone just needs ideas, but to preview it the top few would be: The Grey Ghost, Hiro Okamura, Knight.
Or if you guys prefer I do a hero, maybe the Question (Sage, not Montoya).
The lack of Montoya disturbs me.
Sage > Montoya. Yeah, I said it. Fight me.
Eh. Don't wanna hurt you. <3
Thanks X!

@Ruby: I was not sure what to put down as Thor's "real name" (i.e. Peter Parker, Victor von Doom, etc.), so I just put down Thor Odinson (wasn't sure if patronyms could be 'Odindaughter' or not, so I stuck with what I did know). Just let me know if you have any other names in mind.
That's funny. I ran into the same issue with her name while typing up backstory--you'll note I ended up not using her last name anywhere in the CS. ^_^
.
Yes, it is. And I think it's safe to say Steph/Tim have moved on.
Player Name: Ruby Character You Wish To Play: Thor Moral Alignment (Hero, Villain, Walking the Line): Hero Affiliation (what group/team/organization, if any, is your character affiliated with?): None. Character Origin & Backstory: It's fair that many with knowledge of Gods and 'Gards claim that the superhero calling herself Thor is, in actuality, no God. There is no evidence of a Thunder god and/or goddess in the current pantheon of gods, nothing except for a missing Thunder God where most agree prior Pantheons, in fact, had a Thunder God. This shrouds the current Thor in mystery and intrigue--both of which she tends to ignore, and isn't exactly fond of speaking to. Despite those with knowledge fairly believing there is no current God of Thunder, their evidence is faulty, as the woman claiming to be Thor is, in fact, a divine figure--the product Gaea and Odin. She was briefly raised in Asgard, though Odin has gone to great lengths to erase any memory of her in fellow Asgardians. And he did so out of pure spite and anger. It was Gaea who pushed Odin to send Thor out of Asgard; not sending her to Earth, but instead sending her to grow and mature as she transversed the spaceways. Feeling cheated out of his daughter, Odin moved to erase Thor from Asgardian memory--her only mentions coming in vague tales of their mythos. Odin would not be seen as weak, having been cheated out of a daughter. Instead, he would pretend it never happened. A plan that worked for a very long time. With great success...until a year ago to the day, when Thor first appeared during a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami event in Indonesia. Months later she would appear again, cleansing the Gulf of Mexico from a BP oil spill. Yet again a few months later, this time in Hawaii to divert the lava flow from an erupting volcano from decimating a large town on Hawaii's second largest island. So the pattern would, and has, repeated: whenever mother nature causes the kind of chaos few heroes can do anything about, Thor will appear, brilliant and bright amongst the clouds, with lightning and thunder at her back, and an oversized hammer cliched in her right hand--to do what can be done, typically for the Earth and it's wild animals.....rarely, it has been noted by media outlets all over the world, does Thor interfere to save humans. Only recently has Thor decided to investigate just what befell Asgard and Odin after her departure to the cosmos, starting her investigation in the mortal frame, disguising herself as a Meteorologist student at Columbia in New York City--as cosmic experience has told her to blend in with the locals of any planet, if she wants to find out any information without Thor causing headlines and ruckus.
Sample Story Arcs. Food Fights: Thor arrives at an alien planet only to find the humanoids that rule the planet at war with what the aliens believe to be unintelligent sea-beasts. In reality, the war was started when the aliens began harvesting sea life for food at such an alarming rate that the non-humanoid sea creatures were unable to re-populate adequately; igniting a war that threatens the very planet. Thor is able to speak the telepathic language of the sea-beasts, thus ending the conflict with an agreement between the aliens and their very much intelligent sea-beasts. The Lost Girl: Thor arrives upon Earth at the call of Gaea, only to find a planet in chaos from extreme weather and even more extreme abuse from Earth's humanoid populations. After months of what she calls "divine clean-up", Thor decided to stay on Midgard and learn; creating a mundane alter-ego, and starting college. Her first challenge? Midgard female fashions. Her second challenge? The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents undercover at the University, searching for the Thunder goddess' they (correctly) believe to be hiding out in sheep's clothing.
I won't be doing a combat post right now. So feel free to be all big billy badasses. ^_^
