[b]| Character Identity |[/b] The Batman / Bruce Wayne

[b]| Age |[/b] 31

[b]| Character Differences |[/b] In 1939, Batman was created to be less a superhero and more of a pulp hero who dished out vigilante justice wherever it was needed. He didn't hold life as sacred as his contemporary reimagining, he had no qualms with using firearms, he had no supporting cast to ground him (not even a faithful butler), and his enemies were often of the scientific and supernatural variety - his rogues' gallery being far off from introduction. This Batman is an attempt to boil those traits down to how they'd appear in 2019, with a version of The Dark Knight who operates alone as an enemy of the law, primarily due to the fact that he has taken it upon himself to act as a selective judge, jury, and executioner. 

[b]| Brief World Background |[/b] Earth 940 - Society Earth

A DC Universe that exists in a cynical America of 2019, where the criminal element is more ruthless than most. A group of self-imposed heroes have descended onto the populace to try and forcefully restore the distant memory of order. The first metahumans were not heroes, but the creations of illegal genetic tampering, igniting a brutal conflict between the nations of Khandaq and Bialya that would only be resolved with the arrival of the socially conscious champion of the oppressed, Superman, and the warrior-born mystic of Paradise Island, Wonder Woman. As the world became quickly aware of the fact that an age of gods and monsters were upon them, rogue geneticist turned terrorist Lex Luthor came out of hiding to elicit chaos in a bid to prove himself superior to the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman, aswell as the bearer of the emerald flame, Green Lantern, and the master of speed who'd modeled himself after the diety Mercury, The Flash. Thus, the age of the supervillain began. Those who stand outside of Luthor's war against the metas, such as Batman, Aquaman, Doctor Fate, Hawkman, and The Spectre, loom over their corners of the US with a territorial ownership, inspiring both admiration and fear from the public.

[b]| Brief Character Background |[/b] Witnessing the murder of his parents, Bruce Wayne became psychologically scarred by the trauma and was soon placed into the Arkham Institute to cope with his growing disillusionment from reality. From the walls of the Asylum, he felt as though he could take an objective stance as Gotham City descended into a breeding ground for serial killers, cultists, gangsters, flamboyant opportunists, and elaborately themed madmen. Deciding to adopt the guise of a bored, but importantly sane young billionaire in the making whose only interest in life was high-octane racing and supermodels, Wayne was released from Arkham by the age of 20 - and promptly vanished for the East. When he returned seven years later, he had mastered every form of urban combat and guirella warfare, combining his skills to become a one-man war on crime. Adopting a fearsome avatar of a bat to inspire fear in his enemies, Wayne announced his intentions to all of Gotham with a gruesome message: the decapitated head of the "vampire" occultist known as The Monk, strapped to a giant floodlight atop of GCPD. Commissioner Gordon has since made it his mission to arrest The Batman before his madness inspires even more heinous acts of vigilante justice. Only the young mechanic and weaponsmith Dick Grayson, known as "Robin" by his clientele, knows of Wayne's true identity and mission. 

Finally cornered by the GCPD after a five-year reign of terror against the underworld, having been lured into a trap by planted evidence tying a routine robbery to the vicious Joker Card Killer, Batman was about to break his vow of never harming the innocent in a desperate bid to escape Gordon's men. But someone else got to him first - someone with a more cosmic intent for one of the multiverse's Darkest Knights.[/hider]

[b]| Character Identity |[/b] Wolverine/James Howlett - ローガン

[b]| Age |[/b] 492

[b]| Character Differences |[/b] In a vast departure from 616, this version of Logan was both never a member of Weapon X or The X-Men. Instead, most of his skills were honed as an honorary Samurai in the age of feudal Japan, and his adamantium claws were grafted to him under a voluntary surgical proceedure sometime in the year of 2029. He doesn't have an adamantium skeleton or any other protections beyond his healing factor, which isn't as extreme as the healing factor for 616 Wolverine and can't bring him back from the dead.

[b]| Brief World Background |[/b]
Earth 141-81 - Days Of Future Present
An alternate reality where the events of the storyline [i]Days Of Future Past[/i] was the definitive end for the Marvel Universe and the beginning of a mutant-human dominated society. The Uncanny X-Men were formed out of Charles Xavier's need to preserve the species rather than fight for a utopia where man and mutant co-existed, and Magneto's Brotherhood Of Mutants were born out of a need to overthrow the regime of Sentinel oppressors by any means. Marvel heroes like Captain America, Spider-Man, and Thor exist only as a memory, the fuel that a rebellion needs to fight back against a world enslaved to protect it. The year is now 2035, and the end of the war seems near, but Bolivar Trask's cybernetic forces aren't going down without a fight.

I would have been disappointed had you not applied for a Batman. I think this route is a smart one to take for this game, too. 

I am curious, though, when you say he has adopted the [i]guise[/i] of a young billionaire, do you mean he is simply behaving as the playboy, heir apparent everyone expects him to be, as is normal for the character, or that he has crafted himself a new identity? I assume the former and you're going the typical route, albeit more extreme, but I'm just checking. 

I also like the Wolverine concept thus far and am interested to read it once it's complete. 

I think both provide a lot of interesting avenues for the narrative to develop should either be accepted, and already they could play off several alternate worlds I have plans for.

[@Retired] I added Iron-Woman to my post! She's my secondary character. Let me know what you think, I just came up with her tonight and to be honest I really like her. If I get accepted, feel free to pick whichever two you think will add more to the group dynamic. Spider-Gwen is a bit of a wild card and violent, but Iron-Woman is very reserved, doesn't really get people nearly as well as she gets her machines, and is just trying to figure out what the right thing even is.

Congratulations on being the first truly wild concept! I was wondering who would be the first rise to the occasion and utilize the freedom provided the most. While a genderbent Stark isn't wild, the universe she comes from is pretty extreme.

So the sun, however and for whatever reason it is shielded, both prevents those outside of the solar system from seeing/scanning within as well as prevents those on Earth from seeing/scanning outside? So the concept of other galaxies and universes don't even exist on this Earth?
