It all began the day that Batman was reported dead at the hands of an enemy of the Justice League. Crime boomed again in the darkened city, and only two of Batman's most trusted allies were left to take care of Wayne Enterprises and the city itself. Dick Grayson saw to it that the world still believed Bruce Wayne was alive. Using some of the same make-up that went into the creation of Clayface, Grayson assumed the identity of Bruce Wayne with the help of Alfred and Bruce's corporate friend Lucius Fox. It was more work than the former sidekick ever imagined, and with all the gossip on Wayne in the tabloids Dick managed to be a better billionaire playboy philanthropist than even Bruce in his younger years. He even put on an additional thirty pounds of muscle to look the part. Barbara Gordon on the other hand, had the weight of the city resting on her shoulders...
Grayson had things covered making sure the world believed Bruce was still alive. Batman's contingency plan for Batgirl however had her taking more of a role in protecting the streets at night. Babs didn't think 'Batgirl' was the answer. When Grayson was a kid and needed help when Batman wasn't around he formed the Titans. So the idea in Barbara's mind was to recruit other heroes in the fight to protect the city. Bruce's contingency plan included a new base of operations, 'the Belfry' which was cloaked and right in the heart of the city. Batgirl wasn't the answer though. Babs spent the next two nights modifying gear, and even dying her hair black, and rechristened herself as Batwoman. What other would be heroes and possible metahumans will she meet and ally herself with? What new threats await Batwoman and the new champions of Gotham?
All New Batwoman:
New HQ, the Belfry:
In the comics there are quite a few heroes and villains to come out of Gotham. You can reimagine one of the existing ones, create an original character, or even be a cop from the GCPD or a thug in the Jokerz gang if you want. There's even a group of street kids trying to be the next Robin or Batgirl... The idea is for this RP to be a sandbox, with Batwoman as a GM NPC moving any larger plots forward. You can come in and do your own thing, join a group of heroes along with Batwoman to defend Gotham, or you could even do something like come in as a newspaper reporter or be a civilian living in the same crazy world as the rest of us.
The RP is loosely based on the current arc of Detective Comics and uses new concepts such as the Belfry, as well as my Titans of Gotham RP from awhile back. Rather than use the current Batwoman, I had Babs step up and assume the mantle to inspire others. The biggest difference in this RP and the Titans RP is in this game you can be a hero OR villain of any age. And rather than Grayson/Robin being the dead guy, it's Bruce/Batman.
Just gonna put this out there for now to see if anybody's down. I put this off after joining a sandbox Gotham RP, but since that game was ended there's been a void that requires vigilante Batman-esque shenanigans. I'll post a CS template if there's enough interest!
The first order of business for any would be allies of Batwoman is dealing with a particular enemy of Batman's running around in a cape and cowl as well...
Dude is literally beating on his own goons out of sheer boredom.
