DCAU Beyond: Gotham Knights.

[Lord Wraith]

Oh could I play old Bruce and act as an Oracle capacity?

[Hillan]

Max's Oracle, but you could be Big-brother Bruce, if you'd like, yes.

I fail to see how you'd find any action in that, though!

Name: Matthew "Matt" McGinnis
- Nicknames: Matty, The Boy Wonder of Tomorrow
- Alias: Robin III
Personality: During his youth, Matthew McGinnis was rather aggressive and outspoken, often believing his parents' divorce was his own fault. He often vented this anger by pestering his older brother, Terry, whom he had a partial disdain for due to his living with their father. This feeling only increased following the murder of Warren McGinnis. Despite this aggression, Matt has a deep-rooted love for his family, and has since reconciled with Terry following his coming into the role of Robin. Matt has since mellowed following his taking up the mask, and is now a stalwart protector of his family's name and reputation.
Relations:

• Bruce Wayne, Ex-Batman, Biological Father, Mentor
• Mary McGinnis, Mother, currently hospitalized
• Warren McGinnis, "Father", deceased
• Terry McGinnis, The Batman, Brother, Partner, and Mentor

Age: 14
- Date of Birth: February 15, 2041
- Time in Costume: Approximately two months
- Time in Training: October 2054-April 2055
Skills and Abilities:

• Matthew has begun training under both Bruce Wayne and his brother Terry in Martial Arts, Escapology, Acrobatics, Combat Tactics, and Investigation. Although nowhere near the level of skill of either of his mentors and arguably some of the other members of the JLU, The Boy Wonder has been praised by the former Batman for his quick grasp of his teachings.
• The third Robin has also shown particularly aptitude with nearly all things technological, both within and outside the Batcave, from the engineering marvel known as the Batmobile, to the seemingly mundane television set and refrigerator.
• Although it doesn't show on paper, Matt has a gifted intellect that has only multiplied after becoming apprenticed to the Batmen, in particular he has shown an almost unrivaled ability to think on his toes and react to opposition in a matter of seconds.

Equipment:

• Matt withholds uniform equipment of nearly all members of the Batfamily, the famed Batarangs, the grappling gun, a utility belt with an almost endless supply of smoke pellets, and the famous mask witch contains an unparalleled number of ocular gadgets.
• More to be added as I think of them.

Costume:
History: Matthew McGinnis was born to Mary and Warren McGinnis some 14 years ago. His youth was relatively normal, trips to the theme park with his father and older brother, uniform teasing and bullying in elementary school. The family was happy, peaceful, until his mother became unemployed. Although Matt was only four or five at the time, he knew something was wrong. He was kept awake for hours by the screaming of his parents clashing against each other, only kept calm by the words of his brother. Eventually, the problems grew so irreconcilable that the former couple divorced. Matt was devastated, and hid his concern almost entirely under the guise of a calm, monotone existence. Being separated from his brother caused Matthew to become quite impartial to him, which caused the two to often argue whenever his elder visited, about everything from school, to the divorce.

The only time Matt showed his true self was when the Batman seemed to return from the grave. Although the reappearance of Batman was immediately following the murder of his father, which most would think crippled Matt emotionally, the boy took solace in almost worshiping the Dark Knight. Matt took to researching almost everything he could about the legendary figure's adventures, from his time in the Justice League, to the tales of his sidekick, Robin, the boy wonder. The boy took it upon himself to train himself in the likeness of Batman, and joined various athletic activities in his middle school in order to enhance his physical prowess.

Some time ago, Matthew and Terry's mother, Mary, was assaulted by a group of criminals in the alleyway of her and Matt's apartment and subsequently hospitalized. After calling an ambulance, Matt began chasing down the criminals in a feat of adrenaline and teenage anger. After pursuing the goons to an abandoned warehouse, the adolescent used anything he could find as a weapon against them, although he was beaten handily due to his obvious size and experience disadvantage. Matt was drugged and beaten, and held hostage within the warehouse, no doubt the outlaws would use him for ransom. To say Matt struggled would be an understatement, everything from throwing himself and the chair he was tied to onto the ground and pitiful headbutts and attempted bites to his captors arms. Only minutes after he blacked out after another punch to the head, Matt's eyes lazed open to see none other than the Batman entering the warehouse and defeating the criminals like it was nothing. It was to be expected, after all, it was The Batman.

Matt awoke some time later to the sound of two voices yelling back and forth: One was faintly familiar...the other was totally foreign. Yelling out (as he had no idea where he was) Matt was soon approached by none other than his brother, Terry, wearing what could be nothing other than the famous Batsuit. Starstruck, and partially due to his head still feeling as if it had been slammed against pavement, Matt's words were incomprehensible. His eyes widened when he was approached by yet another figure, this one an old man. Matt blacked out once more and awoke in his mother's apartment. Bewildered, Matt immediately sought out his brother at Wayne Manor and told him of the incident. Unbeknownst to the brothers, Bruce Wayne was secretly listening to their conversation, and chose to reveal himself just before Matt left the Manor, and, minutes later, Matt was introduced to the Batcave, and more importantly, the opportunity of a lifetime: The mantle of Robin, the Boy Wonder.

Since that day, Matt has focused almost all of his time honing his skills with Bruce and Terry at Wayne Manor, being trained by The Dark Knights has proven invaluable, to say the least, and Matt has recently begun accompanying his brother on patrol. Matt still withholds something of a childlike enthusiasm to his new-found life, having not yet experienced the true horrors of the life of a masked vigilante.

[Shoryu]

Oh yeah, I'm definitely interested =3 I haven't gotten to see Batman beyond in ages XD Hopefully some Genetic tinkering won't be out of the question >.> I've always wanted to do a little messing around with a characters DNA in the Batman beyond Theme XD

[Sloth]

I shudder to think who'd DNA you'll have...

[Shoryu]

Who knows XD I have... many ideas >=3

Edit: Also, During my investigation of the canon 'splicing' and things related, I found part on the wiki that clashes with the time-line mentioned above, of course this is AU so what's on the wiki might not even matter XD I just thought i'd mention it. The wiki says that splicing re-appeared around 2040 with cuvier making it commercially available, and of course around the same time Terry/Batman 2 Kicked his ass, implying that Batman beyond must've started sooner than 2040, instead of 2052, plus as far as I recall Terry replaced bruce as 'the batman' only a short while after he actually retired.

Of course as mentioned, this is Your RP hillian and the Timeline is whatever the hell you say it is XD so moving on to CS work now ^.^

[Shoryu]

[This is quite an experiment XD Hopefully acceptable, but I'll make changes as needed, I won't be surprised If I overdid 'something' ^.^ And to think, I designed all of this between Midnight and 4 am XD I and freaking tired. I'll also add in specific locations for the Implants, specific numbers for the relevant ones, a list of Serum types that currently available/approved, and the ones he intended to acquire later, as well as their various effects on his body, compatibility between different types, preplanned combination, and blahdeeblahdeeblah XD It's all very complicated and all that, and I like it =3 Hopefully I can at least keep the concept if some drastic changes are needed, but those additions from come after I know what needs changing XD]

[Hopefully a 'real' picture isn't needed, I couldn't find any hints that it was a requirement yet XD]

[Also given the lack of detailed information about Cuvier, There's plenty of room to 'make shit up' and hope it's viable XD]

Ignore the Shadowy monster XD

Name: Cain Istado
Nickname(s): Various, depends on the source, Doesn't have a favorite personaly
Alias: Changeling
Age: 45? [Looks closer to 30 though]

Personality: He's an unusual type, having seemed to barely even 'exist' prior to the recent years, not much is actualy known about him that hasn't shown in the recent time.

He's a curious stranger to most people, not many know who he is, though he's certainly known to various 'officials' and law enforcement due to certain purposeful actions that will be explained in history. He actually behaves as quite the standard friendly man with most people in public, and is not shy about showing off his 'work' to those who get curious, though the secret behind it is one of his personal closely guarded secrets.

He is known for yet another return of public splicing services, Though he denounces the actions of the 'previous' splicing advocate, Cuvier, as the actions of a madman who followed the path of a number of previous splicing scientists and though it may create some heveanly world for him. Despite the known dangers, skepticism, and obvious hostility towards his chosen line of work, he maintains vehement defense that Splicing when used properly can be as safe as any normal medical treatment and even standard genetic modification can be used to make some medical treatments obsolete.

He is also known to be a supposed 'supplier' of a new hero who's surfaced recently as well, The Changeling, someone who utilizes controlled splicing to do his duties, of course he 'is' the Changeling, but with well controlled splicing it becomes easy to hide one's identity. He actually took on this persona so that he could have free reign of his desire to punish those who use splicing solely for profit, or perhaps to create 'monsters' to use for some crazy plan of theirs, or even just someone producing splicing services with dangerous methods, though his focus has widdened to doing 'good' in any way he can manage.




Powers:

Permanent Genetic Enhancement and Spliced Abilities: Due to years of extensive and frequent self testing while perfecting his formula, a number of things have changed about him, making him certainly not human, genetically anymore, and drastically altering the state of what his body would consider 'normal' now. Meaning the things listed here are now 'natural' for his body. Note: The things described below hardly qualify as 'super', but fit best in 'powers' XD

Muscle enhancement: While visibly only slightly toned, which is a lot for most 'scientists', his musculature has increased in density, making him physically heavier than he looks, but also tougher and stronger [perhaps about equal to an 'amatuer' body builder], And with no added bulk to go with that strength, allows him to maintain inhuman flexibility and Considerably increased speed [perhaps just slightly more than a professional Runner].

Enhanced Senses: His natural senses considerably out-shine that of even the most sensitive natural human, though can't quite compare to actual animals.

Altered Aging Rage: He hasn't revealed to anything that this effect even exists, perhaps has lied about his true age, but he believes he has found a way to genetically rewind his physical aging to an extent, not perfectly, he stil has the goal of perfecting this process and being able to live on indefinately, preferably without harming anyone to do so.

Enhanced Internal Functions: With careful tweaking caused by later experiments, he managed to increase his cognitive functions [increasing thinking speed and mental reflexes maybe 2-3 times natural], as well as the internal functions of his body, natural clothing and healing [implying something like, recovering from a bullet wound in a couple of days rather than a week or 2], Abilities to resist various poisons and infections and the like, and of course increasing the efficiency of his organs to keep up with the transformations caused by the chemicals.



Skills: Just keep in mind, he's a 'scientist' he has no sort of formal training, and as his 'hero' persona, He fights through improvisation, intelligence, or instinct.


Intelligence: He's a scientist of perhaps a revolutionary degree, his mind is his truest 'skill' available and he applies it to nearly all actions he takes, whether it's fighting, problem solving, or analyzing an undesirable situation.

Basic Fighting Experience: He's NOT a natural fighter, nor is he trained, the extent of his skill based fighting capabilities consists only of the experience he's gotten in the short time he'd been fighting about the city.

Inventive: He has a sharp and imaginative mind and is constantly using it to think of new things to create, though his specialty is most definately genetically focused, he is capable of producing more technical things, though much rarer. He is quite capable of taking the design of someone else and reproducing/improving on it though.



Equipment:

A.S.C.S: Advanced Splicing Control System: It is a series of implants in his body that allow him to manipulate the flow of splicing changes within his body, Certain external connections with a number of uses, though such is unlikely to work with someone who hasn't already undergone such extensive changes as he already had, those of which will be listed below.

Note: He is not a 'technological' Genius, He employed the assistance of a couple of trusted Scientists to assist with the procedure of creating and implanting the devices. Though they all designed them together, the Implants are either spherical and small enough not to be a danger if the body changes drastically, or are attached to something that either won't be changed drastically, or are malleable enough not to matter.


Type 1: The Mind Trigger: An Implant oh so carefully installed on his brain, attached to the synpatic nerves and EMP Protected as well as disguised as though it were just another nerve cluster. It reads the impulses of his brain and sends signals to the other implants to control them, though the wireless variety can be disrupted, it can send these signals through his actual nervous system, though it is slower and kindof painful, but works well for emergency back-up.

Type 2: The Guides: A number of implants scattered about his body, using genetic tinkering and nervous system signals to trigger direct movement of the Serum's injected into his body, if the 'signals' are blocked, they can carefully and directly contract musculature and blood veins to guide the serum back to it's origin as well, though when this fails the 'containers' do the next Job.

Type 3: The Containers: Another collection of implants scattered about inside his body, containing either one of the serum types, of which each can hold 10% of a 'Maximum safe dosage', or the antidote. Because they are large enough to hold maybe half an ounce, they are suceptible to physical damage forcing a release of the serum if a strike manages to land where one is contained.

Type 4: The Nodes: A collection of Dermal Connectors in his back that can be connected to a couple of specialized devices such as Serum tubed or the advanced pack.


Attachement 1: The Pack: A device similar in size to a back-pack, strapped on and connected to the Nodes in his back, Generally containing things like an emergency cure, numerous Full Splicing Serum tubes, and a compartment for emergency medical supplies [just think, med-kit XD dangerous shit can happen ya know =3]

A-2: Doser: Smaller containers that can hold 3-5 Serum Vials depending on their size, and connect to a single Node, generally used for pre-planned injection patterns before being disconnected and stuffed somewhere.

A-3: Stabilizer: One of his secrets, It's a small dome like device that connects to a Node, and while there will use his body's energy to stabilize any serums pumped into his system, multiples are often used if he anticipates having to use a more drastic combination that could potentially over-whelm him if not kept in check. They also carry emergency cure injections.




Biography: He has spent most of his adult life studying and perfecting splicing and genetic modification, taking every chance he had to learn from those who knew anything about it, and to improve it in his own way. He actually worked along-side Cuvier 'for a time' learning from an unknown source of information about the subject, Though their path's split quite rapidly when Cuvier wanted to bring it to the world before Cain thought it was ready. Cuvier went out to 'make money' and 'change the world' While Cain stayed well hidden in some unlisted basement lab somewhere under gotham, perhaps going unnoticed so well because he never did anything stupid like starting a war or trying to take over the world, and continued his work until he was absolutely certain he had refined it to an easily controlleable and safe degree.

Of course he couldn't afford to use any test subjects other than himself, for both secrecy and scientific morals, he believed that if you weren't creating science as though 'your' life were on the line, then you don't deserve to risk the lives of others with it, which also speaks to his hatred of far less moral Scientists. Of course after spending years experimenting on himself and refining the process and serums, he has taken on certain permanent mutations and enhancements, as well as created within himself a genetic balance that makes him more easily changeable than a normal human would be. And so with his methods as perfected as he felt he could get them on his own, and himself altered in a way that he could escape if worst came to worst, He revealed himself, and went straight to Gotham's highest authorities to plead his case, of course Cuvier had long since been taken down.

Of course it took a lot of convincing, It wasn't even easy to avoid being arrested when he first revealed himself, and it took nearly an entire year to convince The higher authorities of the city that his methods were infinitely safer than Cuvier's Fanatically rushed obsession, even going so far as to demonstrate it himself. With 'tentative' Official backing, he was allowed to seek out volunteer's among the forces of public servants willing to take the chance, though few were found, He was required to provide Antidote enough to ensure that he couldn't get out of hand without being overwhelmed. With the most minor work he could he improved his relations, helping a few fire-fighters to resist high heat and low oxygen environments, A few police to become capable of shrugging off small caliber munitions, or to move with fast enough reflexes to get someone before they shoot, just as a few examples.

The Instances were few, and Visible changes were minor, but all willing participants showed only positive results and no side-effects of uncontrolleable aggression or any hints of mind control or anything. As such he was allowed some more leniency and financial backing to further improve his Splicing and Genetic Alteration Specialties, as well as a Government funded lab with Fully modernized facilities for the utmost security and safety. Regardless of course he was still very closely monitored, and really Welcomed all forms of regulation, examination, and inspections that the Authorities felt necessary, ensuring them that he was very patient and would put with whatever needed to renew the reputation of the field he'd chosen as his life's work. the only thing he refused ANYONE was taking copies of the data out of his lab, or record anything that happened within, absolutely intent to ensure minimal chance of someone taking his work and turning it into a weapon, nevermind the fact that the lab is heavily guarded both to prevent theft, to ensure he couldn't do something sneaky all of a sudden.


Inevitably of course he would come to hear the stories about splicers and scientists producing them, and those that work for the criminal underworld or are 'super villains' of some sort. Having been living quite sheltered for so long he'd failed to hear these stories before he'd become a more public figure, though either way it infuriated him to know that the actions of his previous 'colleague' were bearing nasty reprecussions even now, as well as the 'possibility' that some of it may involve his own work. He began working on a more private project, something to give him the ability to help clean up the Scum besmirching the image of his Specialty, He informed only a few most trusted authorities of it, he 'needed' allies incase things went side-ways while he was busy. This project was a different form of Splicing control, involving a collection of implants in his body [explained in Equipment and powers] that allowed him to trigger and remove splicing effects in his own body at will, and to apply a cure through his own body to non uniquely modified splicers.

This gave rise to 'the Changeling', a hero, though some considered him just another form of vigilante albeit a useful one, Who was most known for crushing rings of underground splicers and Their Scientific providers that were filling the streets with monstrosities. His own Splicing provided seamless, healthy, and even appealing changes to the human body, while those he hunted created something closer to monsters and beasts that could well be suffering constant pain or mental strain due to the unperfected methods. Needless to say the appearance cast sucpicion on him, but with the assistance of the handful of government Allies he's had the fore-thought to make friends with, he was announced publically as just a 'supporter' of the changeling, supplying him with his splicing chemicals to ensure he didn't have to resort to something that would make him a danger to others.


Of course he didn't consider even his own methods 'perfected', nor his chemicals, and was always watching for potentially dangerous discrepancies in the formula's or changes, and occasionally checked up on his previous volunteers. Only recently he was given leave for carefully supervised Comercial production, though her insisted that he personally choose only the employee's handling the materials aside from himself, to ensure that nobody with a nasty intent gets their hands on his process, even fewer employee's are trusted to directly study and reproduce his methods on their own rather than just handle equipment and chemicals. It's a miracle he finds time to balance it all out, how he can pull it off is a mystery, but he insists on keeping certain things secret, regardless though the public opinion is a fragile balance of whether or not he is truely there to help people, or just a much smarter and more thoroughly careful version of Cuvier.

[Hillan]

About the time-line: All of it is accruate, Except that you need to put another extra 10 years to the canon BB Timeline.

Saying Batman retired in 2019 would sound silly, as, in the show, that already showed a Neo-Gotham.

- - - Updated - - -

On the note of the character: That's a horribly formated Sheet. So much useless information, it's written casually, as I've detected atleast 12 "xD"'s

Try to rewrite it more so like say, a report from Gotham PD, or, like a file on the Batcomputer. Think about what information would be necessary, etc.

[Ruby]

You know, I might just have to put in a CS for this. <3 Any requests/recommendations?

[Hillan]

Glad to see you, Ruby, how are you?

As for characters:
Females, with powers!
