<Snipped quote by Ruby>

Where're we keeping the Pit right now?

<Snipped quote by Lost Cause>

Ask Talia.

But I'd say, like Arkham City, there's probably one somewhere buried in the forgotten past of Gotham City.

I think it'd be safe to assume that all the Pits Ra's had knowledge of are now in Talia's possession, so to speak. As mentioned in the CS for Talia she's utilizing them for her own gain at the moment, so she's keeping all known Lazarus Pits under lock and key with high security detail. There's something like five still in existence in canon, one of which is in Gotham, another in an undisclosed location (allegedly in Nyssa Raatko's possession), with the last three in Australia, Tibet, and the Himalayas. I figured there's not much reason to deviate from the established mythos at this time, barring any new Pits being discovered in-game.

The only new pit around is the one in my stomach. I'm starving. *Eats other people's character sheets*

<Snipped quote by Ruby>

...Huh, that's a pretty cool system, really.

Of course, now that you've mentioned him, we have to have Condiment King show up at some point. :D

As far as combat rating or whatever is concerned, all I know is Hope has a 10/10 in the sass meter and a 20/10 in the 'will seriously punch any mafia person so hard' meter

Speaking of finished.

Batwoman [+]

Name: Katherine Kane
Age: 28
Alias: Batwoman
Appearance: Batwoman, Kate
Skills/Abilities:

• Acrobatics: Kate is quite skilled in gymnastics, having trained in the sport since she was very young and making it to senior elite level.
• Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Kate received basic training at West Point, then further, more intensive training in various martial arts during her travels around the world.
• Investigation: Kate has studied under experts in forensic science, law, behavioural science and criminology, learning methods both high-tech and old-school for tracking down criminals.
• Interrogation: While Batwoman does a lot of physical intimidation and violent interrogation work, she wouldn't torture or deliberately maim people.
• Intimidation: Kate can leverage her considerable presence, her excellent training in psychology and interrogation, being obviously willing and able to hit people really really hard, suddenly shifting toward protectiveness, etc. to achieve remarkable results.
• Gadgetry: Kate is adept in the art of tinkering with things both mechanical and electronic.
• Computer Hacking: Kate is capable of hacking and some basic programming, but more importantly, of keeping her own computers and gadgets from being hacked or traced.
• Stealth: Kate is a master of stealth, as noted by Batman, being so good that even Supergirl didn't notice her, even with her advanced hearing.

Weaknesses: Cardiac Weakness: During a previous confrontation with Intergang, Kane was stabbed in the heart by Bruno Mannheim. Since then, despite therapy and a healthy recovery, scarring remains and she is not as good as she might otherwise be.
History: The daughter of a pair of career soldiers, Kate often moved across the world as they were posted to different places. However, while they were living in Belgium, she was forced to bear the trauma of watching her mother and twin sister being executed by terrorists serving the Religion of Crime.

In an attempt to please her father, Kate entered the United States Naval Academy in order to train as a Marine officer. However, while at Annapolis she entered into a relationship with her room-mate, leading to her dishonourable discharge. Her father did not hold this against her, however, considering it more important that she had chosen not to lie in order to save herself.

Her father eventually married weapons heiress Catherine Hamilton. This new wealth established Kate as a socialite in Gotham City's upper crust. She became notorious for her partying and drinking.

One night after a party, she was pulled over by officer Renee Montoya. Instead of being fined for drink driving, the two entered in a relationship. They broke up when Renee told her she had no direction in her life, no education, and no apparent goal. She found her purpose soon enough: when she was confronted by a mugger in an alleyway, she was saved by Batman.

She decided to become a vigilante too. With her father's help, she travelled all over the planet for two years to learn how to fight. Her father used to family fortune and connections to come up with experimental weaponry.

Talia and Dick, awk XD

Alfred's sending Nightwing in. The Cave is officially worried, Talia's timing is suspect, and it's a good way to gauge the nature of the League's presence in Gotham.

That's my logic behind this pairing, anyway. I'm kind of excited to read the scene.

So much tension from the get go. *rubs maniacal hands together even tho he has no say in this matter*

So, when you say rates, you mean they've got a target on their head for a Talon to swoop down and attack, correct? ;o And the one that doesn't rate comes swooping in to assist, or swoops in at the wrong time, wrong place? Lotsa swooping, but that's a given (all these kids and their grappling hooks) sorry if i sound dumb

<Snipped quote by HalfOfLancelot>

I think the idea is that the characters who "rate" a Talon are gonna be Gotham's heavy hitters, so to speak, so anyone who is considered a serious threat to the agenda of the Court of Owls is a target. This probably would mean that the vigilantes of the "green" variety are not targets of the Talons but could easily get caught up in the fray of a Talon attack if they happen to be in the vicinity of the characters who are targets. That said, the youngin's could happen upon an attack in progress and intervene or they could be chatting it up with one of the targets when a Talon suddenly attacks. That's the way I took it, anyways.
