Aliases: Clown Prince of Crime Harlequin of Hate Public Enemy #1 Jack Napier Mr. Rekoj Nemesis of The Knight The Bandit Mr. Face Paint Patient 0 Patient 223 Red Hood Joe White Jocund Jack of Jocund Jack of All Crimes Eric Border Oberon Sexton Red Hood One Gender: Male Origin: The man who will become the Joker is an unnamed engineer who quits his job at a chemical company to become a stand-up comedian, only to fail miserably. Desperate to support his pregnant wife Jeannie, he agrees to guide two criminals through the chemical plant he previously worked at so that they can rob the card company next door. During the planning, the police inform him that his wife has died in a household accident. Grief-stricken, the engineer tries to withdraw from the plan, but the criminals strong-arm him into keeping his commitment to them.
At the plant, the criminals make him don a special mask to become the infamous Red Hood. Unknown to the engineer, the criminals plan to use this disguise to implicate any accomplice as the mastermind and to divert attention away from themselves. Once inside, they run into security personnel, and a shootout ensues. The criminals are gunned down and the engineer finds himself confronted by Batman, who is investigating the disturbance.
Terrified, the engineer jumps into the chemical plant's waste pound lock to escape Batman, and is swept through a pipe leading to the outside. Once outside, he discovers, to his horror, that the chemicals have permanently bleached his skin chalk-white, stained his lips ruby-red and dyed his hair bright green. This disfigurement, compounded with the man's misfortunes of that one day, drives him completely insane and marks the birth of the Joker.
In.... THE PRESENT DAY..
For some unknown reason The Joker has been released from Arkham Asylum. After being tailed for a little while by some some hired thugs that are possibly cops, sent to kill Joker, Jonny drives Joker to Killer Croc's hideout, a few of his former goons at a bar in a strip club are talking about who should go pick him up, and Jonny Frost volunteers to go get him fromsically a big meat freezer, Croc asks how the Joker got released from Arkham but Joker refuses to tell. Croc asks if Joker would like to join them in their game of cards, but the Joker is broke and recruits Croc and his gang to help him recover what was rightfully his and more. The story is told from the point of view of Jonny Frost who wants to be somebody in the criminal underworld, and he believes that tagging along with the joker will help him rise up in the ranks. Joker, Croc, and Frost go to the strip club from the beginning and celebrate Joker's release with Monty, a former goon who was sent Johnny to go get the Joker from Arkham. Harley Quinn is among the strippers at the club and puts on a little show for the patrons. Joker, Harley and Monty go into a back room to "discuss" what has happened since the joker has been gone, and some time later Monty stumbles out, skinned alive, and collapses on the floor. The joker takes to the stage and talks about how the people he he thought were capable of running the city while he was gone basically "took a dump on it" and asks who wants to help him take it back. In his head, Johnny says he does. Two-Face receives a call about the Joker's release and what has transpired since he's come back.
The next day, hungover from the party Johnny drives Joker and Harley around town, Joker asks Johnny to stop at a bank as he needs some money, while in the bank Jonny reminisces about where he's been in his life thus far, shortly out of prison after his fifth term, and has recently been divorced from his wife Shelly. Joker returns with a bag full of money, he said he didn't kill anyone in the bank this time, and asks Jonny to dispose of a bloody picture of the Bank President's daughter. Joker later arranges a meeting with Penguin as he needs the money increased ten fold, and demonstrates that Croc is acting as the Joker's muscle. Jonny returns to his apartment to collect some things, and finds that a cop is waiting for him in his apartment, and tell's Jonny he's running with the wrong crowd. Later that night Jonny drives the Joker to meet with Tommy Bang-Bang, a former underboss of the Joker's, and the Joker states that he knows that he is out there watching him, and waiting. Joker wants what is his back, and after getting a cut from Tommy, says he still wants Tommy and his crew to run his operations for him, he walks out of the restaurant, then returns and shoots just Tommy, telling the crew that the offer is still on the table for them but at a lower pay rate. He walks outside and as if Batman was there says "Not good enough for you? Need me for more of your dirty work? I admit I aimed low" and does a russian roulette on himself, survives than bursts out laughing. Over the next few weeks bodies start piling up and jonny relishes the fact that few knows where they all are buried. Joker goes to visit Penguin to collect his money. Penguin comments on how Two-Face has become very angry with the Joker because of his actions as of late. Joker and his crew return to the strip club from earlier and after unsuccessfully trying to reach Two-Face, flips out and kills one of Croc's goons, declares war on Two-Face and proceeds to burn down the club.
The Cop from earlier finds Jonny at a Diner, and brings him before Two-Face, who wants to put him on his payrolll as the cop is, and warns him that he is dealing with a man that will stand over him as he is dying and will laugh. Shaken by the meeting, Jonny stands for hours on top of a skyscraper and thinks, causing him to be late to the meeting the Joker has scheduled with the Riddler, who presents the Joker with a suitcase, when the suitcase is opened, it emits a gold glow a la Pulp Fiction, and tells Nigma to get out of town. While driving away the group is attacked by Two-Face's goons, and while trying to escape on foot the Joker encounters The Cop, who is shot in the head by Jonny before he can pull the trigger on the Joker. Two-Face finds his body hanging upside down from a tree outside his mansion with a smile cut into his face. Over the next few days the Joker's men hit hard on Two-Faces businesses, until a meeting is scheduled at the Gotham Zoo between the two. At the Zoo Two-Face reveals he has Jonny's wife revealing that he has met Jonny before, Joker tells Two-Face he knows about some wives he has had with women , stating that "you can get away with murder, but not with wives" and could get Harvey charged with bigamy, while saying this he pulls off one glove. Two-Face reaches for his phone saying he could call someone to make it all dissapear, but the Joker reaches for his phone, he doesnt get the phone, but he slashes Harvey's wrist several times because of the glass shards that he has stuck into his fingers. Two-Face's goons are then killed by Harley who was wearing a Gorilla Suit, and Joker tells Two-Face he doesnt care about money, and whispers something into Harvey's ear that makes him go wide eyed. Joker has sex with Shelly, Jonny's wife, and then calls them even for Jonny saving his life.
Joker then proceeds to go on a rampage seeing the city as his "sandbox" with such acts including the robbing of a liquor store, and killing an elderly couple with a straight razor simply because he can. Jonny starts to realize the horrors he has gotten himself into. An impromptu Bat-Signal made by Two-Face alerts Batman and he tells him that the Joker has found away to destroy one "us" referring to his two minds. Batman then proceeds to take out the Penthouse where Harley is staying and Croc's hideout, causing the Joker to go into a panic as he knows Batman is finally coming for him. Fleeing on foot, and seeing the Joker under pressure Jonny starts laughing manically, and is pistol whipped and taken as a human shield for protection against Batman, being confronted on a bridge the Joker demands to know why Batman lets his mouth and jawline be seen despite wearing a mask, Batman's repsonse is "to mock You" which causes Joker to shoot Jonny in the neck, fatally wounding him. As Jonny bleeds to death and watches Batman fight the Joker his inner monologue states as a man on the top looking down he now sees the Joker as a disease there is no cure for, just a Batman.
"Without Batman, crime has no punchline. You see, I proved my point I could be like you... Bats, now let's get one point... we both know without each other we won't have fun. Or do we?" After becoming the criminal known as Joker, he started perpetrating crimes with the sole purpose of creating chaos for Batman to catch up with, as he slowly figures out after every crime..... Why can't Batman just end him finally and once for all. He begins hurting Batman deep in Batman's family.
Jokerz, The Jokerz were a Gotham City street gang based on the Clown Prince of Crime. While Joker was away, he created the Jokerz and left thugs to deal with Gotham and trash Gotham while he was gone. The Jokerz we're made in 2006 and he came back in 2006 (3 months after it was made.) This isn't based off Batman Beyond's Jokerz, THIS Jokerz.
People of Note: * Batman (Friend/Enemy, it's kind of a hard situation but a long meaning to explain why, but you'll see as the role play moves along.) * Jason Todd (Enemy/Friend) * Harley Quinn (Friend/Enemy) * Robin (Enemy) * Two Face AKA Harvey Dent (Friend) * Poison Ivy * Bruce Wayne (Enemy, does not know him in his origin story he encountered Bruce Wayne and he got beat in a card match for the first time, he is extremely good at cards so.. It's a shock.) * Thomas Elliot
I want Joker to kind of get a side with Batman or this kind of moves as a fight or keep fighting stuff, my main goal is to mainly get Joker back under control and go back to his happy place, and know Batman better, he might try it a couple times in the role play.
Sample Post:
Chapter 1, Life of A Desperate One
..The man "Joker" approached his door, and staggered towards the door with fear of what his wife would say, after all. It was the 3rd time he'd be handless with nothing in-hands to bring home for his pregnant wife that was about to have a baby, the baby was in her stomach for 3 months. She had t be disappointed in him for not bringing any food, he stumbled upon finding the keys and when he finally felt shakes of the keys tilting around his hands, the keys would tilt and tilt and shake. They'd fall onto the ground, and he'd slowly pick it up and stare at the keys with tears dripping down his eyes, he turned to the door his hat slumping over, and he attempted to insert the keys. Before he was even close, another bunch of the neighbors came near, and hooted at his failure. He turned and he swatted, as if they we're flies. Go away! Everything in his mind was just laughing and it was really sad for him. Jeannie, before he could insert his keys into the doorknob opened the door, and was mostly looking at the pockets. Joker could tell she was mostly aiming for anything like cash, he sighed. "....Well?" She asked in a worried and expecting voice. She stood behind the door and she let her husband inside. "..." She closed the door. "Did they like your act?" Joker went to the drawers and took off his hat, and he looked blankly at the covers. "...Y-Y--Yeah, they said they might call me," He said, putting his coat up. "..I dunno, I-I got nervous and messed up a punchline." He said. About to turn around, "Oh." "...OH?" He turned around and said madly. "Jesus. All I said was-" "You said oh, so as you didn't get the job. HOW ARE WE GOING TO FEED THE GOD DAMN BABY!" He yelled and jumped up like a baby, up and down. The neighbors started hooting spying out the windows and he screamed, and he went crazy. "You think I don't care! You think I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING, YOU THINK I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING DOWN LIKE THIS... But deep down. I-I-I-I I-i... I cc--c-care. Jeez, I have to g--g-go and stand up there, NOBODY LAUGHS!" "Oh.. baby.. Jeannie said. "O--Oh god, I'm so sorry.."
Did you message BlackSam to verify the character of Joker was available? As the Batman player, Sam calls the shots on all Bats Rogues and Batfamily members.

Yes I did! I'm just working on Joker just in case if he says yes! I need a opinion; is it nice?
Sorry for disappearing, but I was at my local hospital to remove my nail borders due to it being ingrown. So, I am recovering for that and in fact my birthday will be tomorrow.
Which means that I wouldn't be on for the week. Sorry again for that.
I wanted to apologise for disappearing on the RP. It was unprofessional of me, and I should have given notice. My abandonment of this thread was due to a number of things, all related to RL, and I'm sorry for not giving everyone a heads up. Maybe if I did, it could have saved this game. Who knows.
But I also wanted to thank everyone for giving me what I have to say was the best GMing experience I could have asked for. This was the first RP I ever GM'ed, and I couldn't have asked for a better cast of participants. You're all talented writers with incredible creativity and genial personalities, and I hope that we'll cross paths on the Guild again.
Thank you all for making this experience the best it could possibly be, however short-lived it may have been. Here's to the RP, and to many more to come.
@GreenGrenade This thing was good fun whilst it lasted. More importantly though, I hope everything's good with you in regards to the RL issues you were having.
