Post a random fact about yourself.

One of my last memories before getting glasses was falling of a chair (I was 2 when I got glasses so memories were very few 🤣) so when I was little I was deadset convinced I needed glasses because I fell off a chair when I was really little and tild everyone as such. Gotta say, that's a lot more interesting reason than bad genetics

Gotcha. Holly is frequently depicted as a kind of little sister to Selina.

@Fingal

Yeah, i'd imagine that would have been their dynamic. I'm happy to elaborate on it in/add it to the backstory. It just didn't seem super important to the RP

Bio
Selina had a troubled upbringing at best. Her father was a drunkard, a nasty habit that contributed to her mother's untimely demise when Selina's younger sister was a toddler. With their father barely present, and scarcely sober when he was, young Selina was left with little choice but to scour the streets to ensure her and her sister had food on their plate. Initially Selina efforts were isolated to taking thrown out food goods from shops and swiping leftovers from the plate of patrons at the local diner but there was only so long that could last before people caught on. Bins were locked and diner staff were instructed to swiftly remove the plates of finished guests. This pushed Selina into a life of thievery.

Initially, Selina was only involved in petty theft, a loaf of bread from the bags of bakery customers, fresh produce from horribly surveilled markets. For a few years she made do with this alone but coming into her teen years Selina found herself enjoying the rush that came from taking something that wasn't hers. What was once a necessity to survive had become her fun, like some twisted game. She honed her natural acrobatic skills and learnt how to pick locks from some of the orphaned teens who lived in the slums. Earlier on the petty crime only really escalated to stealing from stores but the more she stole the more adrenaline would be pumping through her veins. Each steal created its own high which pushed her to more elaborate forms of theft.

Selina's first major theft happened in 1935, only days after her 17th birthday. She had broken into a the house of a well-off family within Gotham city and had escaped many blocks away with some expensive jewellery before she was caught by police. The state and her victims took pity on her considering her age and background and convicted her to only a year in jail, likely one of their biggest mistakes. Due to her age, Selina was sentenced to an adult prison, putting her in the presence of skilled thieves and fighters. In a place where she was meant to rehabilitate and 'learn her lesson' she had only deepened the artistry of stealth, acrobatics and thievery. In this time she also learnt how to use her charms to get her way. In the time she was imprisoned her father just disappeared from home without a trace, her sister was then taken in by their local church's orphanage.

On release, Selina was sought out by Marcus Tillyweather and offered a 'clerical job' for a real estate company that was a front for a crime mob. They set an agreement that they would teach her the tricks of the trade for time of service when she perfected them. Externally, Selina fronted as someone who had cleaned up her act. She took in her sister and earned what appeared to be an honest wage all the while she was assisting in covering up heists and attacks.

At 21, content in her skills and that she had taken away any suspicion she was still living a life of crime, Selina decided it was time to give back to her boss. Inspired by the stray cats that lived among the orphaned youth in the slums Selina took on the persona of a cat and officially burst onto the scenes of crime. In this persona she became a rather successful asset to Tillyweather's mobs but more notably became a huge thorn in the side of those who vowed to end crime in Gotham. She became a renowned jewel thief, often striking in the dead of night. Although she didn't intend to murder she had no qualms with fighting adversaries, many of which being homeowners holding a gun to her head. She didn't consider it wrong of her, someone is hardly innocent with their gun raised at another. Her biggest adversary, however, was Batman himself. Their fights were stuff of legend, at least that's how Selina would put it, those of wit and words even more so than ones of strength and dexterity. Many times he'd catch her and put an end to her crimes while other times she's sneak away into the night before he could but not without a few flirty remarks or perhaps a gloating comment written in lipstick.

6 years into her time as Catwoman Selina departed from the crime syndicate that had raised her and with good timing too as only a year later they were found and hunted by police and vigilantes alike. Selina's life of crime showed no signs of slowing but when she was a couple years into her 30s something changed in her. A life of hard crime lost its appeal. She'd blame it on her age or the normalcy it had become making it less appealing but truthfully it may be less of a something but a someone who had changed her. Over the years Selina had grown an admiration to Bruce's dedication to the city of Gotham she couldn't understand, a cruel fate that resulted in her becoming soft. She found less joy in her crimes and although she never fully let go of her life as a thief it was an odd occurrence. She felt lost in herself, she knew no other way to live and one day she admitted that to Batman. Soon she found herself assisting him with some of his own investigations; breaking him into places of interest and identifying certain objects.

She currently sits on an odd fence between villain and hero. While she has leaned more toward vigilantism in current days her methods are not the most ethical nor is she adverse to risking lives for her end goals. With not partaking in crime the way she had before the thought of going back to it brings back fond memories of the high it brings, a mind trick that often results in her going after another hit and needing to be reigned back in.

Looks great, your submission is APPROVED. Do you mind if we don't use the "armpit window" suit for Catwoman? Maybe the suit from Hush or something similar? If the suit you chose is your favorite, I don't mind using it.

@Fingal

That is so fine. I've updated it now :)

]Looking at the timeline, Selina's mom could have been killed by Spanish influenza.

@Fingal

Totally a possibility. I've left it rather open ended on purpose as I'd assume Selina wouldn't really know the reason/would blane it on her father even if it wasn't really his fault

Also, what is Selina's relationship to Holly Robinson (assuming she exists)?

@Fingal

I'd imagine she was one of the orphaned teens Selina befriended in her youth and remained friends with, perhaps even lived with in her early 20s

Let me know if you want any changes :). When we have a Batman I'm opening to discussing their dealings with each other more and alter the backstory accordingly

Did you have a wanted age/adds to backstory for Selina @Fingal?

Age of Darkness: Despair of the Golden Goddess (LoZ RP)

Meki

Although Meki has lived the years of a full Hylian lifespan she has only just surpassed her adolescence as far as Zora aging goes. Standing at 5'10" Meki has a slender figure much alike most of her people. Her tail resembles a dolphin's, her back half and legs are a navy blue while her front half is akin to the sky during a light drizzle. She has aqua coloured fins from the outsides of her wrists and heels.

Akin to her Gurudo brethren Zora, and by extension Meki, wear very minimal clothing as anything extra on the body makes navigating the waters a lot harder. She does have silver braces and a chest plate she used to only really use when going into battle or dangerous territory but as Ganondorf took reign and the danger of darkness has taken the land to has found herself wearing these more frequently. Her weapon of choice is her ornate silver spear. Once upon a time it was a fishing spear and only used for that purpose but as fighting became more of a necessity the head got swapped out for one of a weapon spear.

Gender:
Female

Race:
Zora

Background:
For as long as Meki can remember the prophecy of a time of darkness and a great hero to destroy it had been foretold. In a flourishing Hyrule, the idea of something taking all peace away seemed none other than impossible. Some believed it was for so far in the future it was far beyond the time of the current Zora, some believed it wouldn't impact them in Hylia Lake while others believed it was false whether it be twisted the wrong way or altogether a fallacy. Meki wasn't sure where she stood on the prophecy but she never thought that would matter.

Meki's formative years were rather non-eventful. Her father, Driel, worked making fishing spears and nets while her mother, Calyle, directly serves the Zora princess. From a young age Meki learned the skill of fishing and by the time she was in her adolescence she play a key role in ensuring her people's food supplies. It was a simple job at most but it meant she got to spend a good chunk of her day swimming around and exploring more of the lake. All that changed when Hyrule fell to Ganondorf.

Initially, the Zora didn't feel an impact from the usurp but soon enough more monsters made their home closer and closer to the Zora's domain and suddenly their attacks became more frequent. Going outside their protected home for fish quickly became more and more dangerous. Meki's team soon dwindled in numbers, some were injured badly from attacks, a few were killed, some were scared out of the job. With the increasing danger very few wanted to join the effort leaving more stress on the small team still relied on to ensure the domain's food supplies. In this time Meki had her father swap her fishing spear's head for one of a formal fighting spear and attempted to fight back against their attackers while others fished, yet, she was still witnessing many of her crew become injured. She pleaded with the king to do something more permanent, call in reinforcements, enforce guard duty, send a group to the castle. Something. Alas, nothing was done, there was little that could be. The Zora population, once cynical of the prophecy, had held onto its very words. TheL prayed and waited for the hero of light to emerge but they never did.

Eventually, the Zorans tried to weaponize themselves the best they could. Guards trained all residents in the art of fighting and Meki's dad went from making humble fishing supplies to weaponry. Just shy of a year into the new world her domain was running short in metal and Meki and her sister from the same clutch of eggs journeyed to Kakariko Village to retrieve supplies but in seeing the corruption of these new world Meki became more inspired to take a stand so her sister returned to Hylia lake alone with the new supplies while Meki sought out the wisdom of Kakariko's people and perhaps others on the quest to end Ganondorf's reign.

Likes:

• Swimming- or just being in water
• Fish
• Peace

Dislikes:

• Hot environments
• Death
• Ganondorf and his army

Skill:
As a Zora you'd expect Meki to be an amazingly strong swimmer, as she is, but unlike many of her people she has become very skilled at fighting underwater. Her skills on land are mediocre at best but deep underwater she is yet to find another to match her skill

Easy! I'll write up something later but if someone in the meantime really wants to play Selina I'm happy to swap over

@SouffleGirl123 Meki is accepted. I more or less assume she lives in the river alongside Kakariko that runs its way to Lake Hylia?

@Dark Cloud

That'd be the idea, yes :)
