The world is a dangerous place filled with criminals, thugs, extremists, terrorists, and many other things. Some people try to help the world for better or for worse. The city known as Gotham is no different. The Wayne Corporation headed by the aging Thomas Wayne has set a standard up to help the people of the city in as many ways as possible. From supplying the homeless children with food and shelter in the form of orphanages and schools to encouraging the development of new policies in the police force. Wayne's corporation has set a precedent and standard, aside from the company known as Lex Corp, of being the world's top manufacturer of top of the line electronics and other machinery.
However for all of Wayne's goodness and his son's ingenuity the world of Gotham has a dark underbelly that scares even the most hardened of heroes. Rape, drugs, mobs, robbery, arson, hitmen and more can be found in the world of Gotham's infamous Crime Alley. The whole city while brightly lit is the world's foremost sign of decay and corruption. Cops let off mob bosses for money and even look aside from murders. They allow drugs, alcohol, and weapons to be sold to anyone even children if the price is right. There are no moral standards in Gotham despite what the Waynes would like to believe.
Crime is a common occurrence in Gotham a disgusting but true fact that shames the once proud city. With the city's people suffering so greatly at the hands of corrupted law enforcement and the crime syndicates it is inevitable someone or something would come along to try and control or stop this incessant city of death and destruction. In many worlds there is some form of Batman. But for this unlucky timeline Bruce Wayne and Thomas Wayne don't pick up the cowl. There are no heroes in Gotham besides a couple of police officers who hold true to the ways of justice. Picking off from when Batman year one should have started is our story.
Brought together by a mysterious person who is called 'The Caliph of Gotham' a group of people are assembled with a unique set of skills needed to put down these crime bosses either for good or to put them away in prison. To kill or to capture. To slaughter or to protect. The Caliph himself simply doesn't care how it's done simply that it is done and that's why he's recruiting an anonymous group of people from all sorts of backgrounds to stop Falcone, to stop Penguin, and to stop Blackmask. All of these men, women, and children are in our hands for the good of Gotham you are being called upon to stop them. The only question is this: Do you accept the email/text sent to you by the man of mystery? Or do you reject it and let Gotham burn? This roleplay will be for those who have accepted the call to action.

Rules:
1. Basic roleplay rules apply being god modding, meta gaming, etc are banned. Likewise RPG's general rules apply that should go without saying.
2. We are only going to be playing as humans. No aliens. Period. Meta humans with actual super powers are likewise impeded. Abilities such as night vision are allowed where as air, water, wind control as well as shape shifting (makes things too easy) etc are barred. Simple super powers are the only things allowed such as the above mentioned night vision, body temperature control, immunity to lethal poisons, etc.
3. This roleplay is standard casual not low. I myself am a high casual player and as such I will be firm in my choices as GM. You can question my choices but what I say at the end of the day goes in this roleplay
4. You need a reason to be in this roleplay. While we are normal humans it goes without saying that a group like this should be able to handle their own. But you need reasons for having your strengths and your weaknesses should be actual weaknesses not all personality flaws.
5. Canon characters are difficult to play with but I will allow them within reason for this roleplay. Remember Greyson, Todd, and Tim are still children if not infants.
6. This will be a secretive group of characters remember of you reveal your identity to someone in roleplay beware of the consequences that may follow.
