Name: Mirai Raimi Saito
Hero Name: Timekiller
Known Aliases: She doesn't really take to aliases, because there's alot of alternate versions of her that have those names.
Age: Physically, 18. Chronologically, 26.

Powers:

Axial Time - To understand the mechanics of her abilities, it is first important to explain the center source of it all, Axial Time. Mirai and Raimi are based partially in The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Marvel's own Axis of Time, among other things. (You might've seen the Axis when Apocalypse tried to ursurp all of time and space in X-Men.) The very idea is that she would discover the ability to leap into a space that contains all of history concurrently in a swirling mass that can be navigated, and thus she decides to use it to fight crime. She exists with time and outside of it. That is, her mind and body can safely time travel and perceive how to do it unaided, to use the powers of Axial Time without weird stuff happening to her...much. Axial Time is a mass of pretty much infinite lines of history with all kinds of potential. The nearest layer of it is the local time of past, present, and future. The next layers stretch further in either direction, to the point where she could potentially reach either extreme...but has never dared try. Raimi especially hates actual historical travel because she's been to places by accident. It isn't fun. She and her counterparts all prefer to stick locally. The Center of Axial Time itself is a dense semi-crystaline planetoid which has a 'pull' to it that will start to draw in anyone unable to move through time towards it. This is where all the temporal energy comes from or is going. This is where all manner of paradox and crap exists. To perceive this place without some kind of adaptive ability, experience in dealing with time, or protection of some sort will soon overtax the mind as loads of information is dumped into your brain and you pass out or start to lose it. Even the swirling ribbons of history is too much to take in at once. Axial Time is also the gateway to all parallel universes and dimensions, including worlds not your own. There have been some mishaps, stuff that would make you go "GREAT SCOTT!" and "This is heavy...". Raimi's normal powers usually do not operate in Axial Time because time is not flowing in the same sense as in history. It exists durationally, but you can't generally manipulate fields of time here because what you're using time for in this place is perception and navigation. Instances of breaking this rule do apply...usually when something has gone WRONG.

Normal State - Raimi (and every instance of Mirai) is a temporally-charged individual. Starting from a young age, she began to soak up unusual forces which are related to time. She is a rechargeable battery. If she doesn't have the energy RIGHT NOW, just wait a bit. It'll come back to her. She has decent capacity, though, so running out would require mainly a really-exhausting sort of event. I mean, really. Still, at her basics, Raimi has the ability to open portals in time. These are apertures, usually short-lived, that are roughly person-sized, but they have been known to get larger if needed to accommodate...various things. She has control over that, as well as sustaining their opening, through mental concentration. Once she has gone into a portal, she is outside of time by any standard other than durationally. That is, there is a passage of time when in Axial Time, but not a history. Instances of herself are passing through these portals all the time, but they are essentially in the background unless she actually needs them, and then things get interesting. Firstly, Raimi can appear from a portal at any time or place by leaving one point, moving through Axial Time, and appearing in another, having done the legwork temporally-speaking to get a leg up on you in normal time. A Hound of Tindalos works similarly. They're taking shortcuts. Point is, she can move from Point A to Point B, where Point B might even have been before Point A, which can cause multiple instances of Raimi to suddenly gang up on you. This all costs energy and stamina to do, but as long as she can pay it, Raimi can DO IT. Tends not to gather more than half a dozen of her own self to prevent confusion and over-exhaustion. Has done at least twenty when she really had the need. She borrows them from herself before sending them on their way. The last in the line usually ends up pretty tired if it's been a rough day. Anyway, this portalling has also transported objects and people, though any living thing attempting to perceive Axial Time in transition will get overwhelmed by the information overload.

Merged State - Raimi Saito and all other versions of her exist as an anti-paradox, naturally stabilizing time as it flows through them, delivering the energy and the ability to alter events IN time. When she activates her powers, history doesn't kill itself because her stream is expanding into a pond where things swim around in possibility before returning to a normal flow. Her instances are fish who have power over how they move about as the water flows around them. The reason for this is because her normal state is just a by-product of how her actual power works. It's a means to get there that just happens to be very useful. Raimi's true power is manipulating time physically, or rather durationally, as in the speed-up and slow-down of time. Two instances of herself meet and merge with one another, suddenly. All other instances present vanish in a phenomenon she calls Temporal Ghosting, where the possibility of those versions doing what they're doing has been locked off and they cease to be in this point in time, instead being back at whenever they were before. Portal travel is impossible in this state, because all the energy is now being altered via mentally-directed time fields in a local area. It requires that Raimi has some awareness of what she's doing, and where and how and so on, so that it can be focused on. Seeing or hearing is best. Having working knowledge of it is okay. Not being aware of the thing makes it impossible fo focus on. She can't stop something she doesn't know about. Any person who can adapt physically or somehow predict or has some power that can work themselves around time or has time powers themselves can fight against the effects of temporal fields. If not, though, she might just Viewtiful Joe you. Slow down time to create an opening, speed up her own time to beat the shit out of you, and so on. Time fields have a speed-up and slow-down effect that can ignore normal uses of gravity or increase the impact of something to the point of instant shockwaves. You have to be really careful about it. It can be...a real mess. Fortunately, fortunately, she has been able to clean up her messes, to the point where she can actually cause a localized reversal of physical events (or a messy destruction of events) with a move she dubs Tempus Fury.

Equipment:

Timekiller Suit - Different versions of her have different suits. They and their equipment load-outs have varied, to a point. The actual look of the suit will be handled in Appearance. Here's function. Raimi's suit is padded to absorb impact, often rated to a low-profile body armor. She isn't physically stupendous. She uses her powers to give herself more impact. She's wearing composite-toed boots, as well, though there are two parts of her actual suit that are metal with insulation on the inside. The first is her helmet. It's over most of her face, so you only see her mouth, with two red eye openings. There are lenses and such in there to adapt to changes in light, and her ears are generally protected on top of that, for some very good reasons. There is also a transmitter device installed by one of her other selves that boosts the frequency of her mental waves to allow for communication. That one'll make sense later. Anyway, the second metal thing is her clawed gauntlets. Raimi is the Timekiller because she's the tougher version of all the others that is willing to do some pretty dark things, including kill. More on this later. These are indeed metal gauntlets up to the wrist, with fingers ending in forged claws. They have built-in taser/stun-gun devices to add a decent zap to her hand-to-hand strikes.

Utility Belt - Plenty of heroes have them. Raimi did it because she likes Batman. Once upon a time, though, she worked with outright explosives. It was a...different time. Now, having been set straight, her usual stock is in flashbangs and smoke bombs. They make it easier to get out of a situation and create confusion. More to the point, their effects or even just tossing them can have very unusual effects when going through a time field. She also carries some basic medical stuff to treat herself in the field, which is handy in case of...ouch. Apart from that, the only other noted equipment is actually the pair of emergency knives stashed in her boots and a grappling gun in case someone turns off her powers while she's suspended twenty stories in mid-air. You need to have a back-up plan to get out of things.

Appearance:

Let's start with the basics. Raimi Saito is an athletic tomboy, by nature and by necessity. All versions of her tend to be physically active in general, but she definitely trained herself to be fairly well-toned. Her skin is light, her nationality is Japanese, and her height is pretty average. Other physical traits are a bit less so. For one, her eyes are violet, and they tend to glow alight when in heavy use of her powers, though she's usually masked when this occurs. The other thing is about her hair. Normally - or maybe originally is the better word - she has straight black hair reaching down to her neck, a few bangs up front, no big deal. When she started to hold a temporal charge, though, that all changed. Upon having any amount of time energy in her, and especially when her powers are in use, Raimi's hair goes spiky in back while the rest of it remains fairly smooth. It's a weird sort of a tell about her, though it started getting more normal to see her that way than without the spikes forming, because it requires her to be drained to see her as she originally was! Experience and stamina-building exercise caused her to be able to retain more of a charge, so...yeah.

Clothing is pretty normal for her. Not exactly trying to be super-trendy and she isn't rich. Raimi prefers jeans over all other pants, shorts acceptable as well, but anything too formal or remotely dress-like can go die in a fire. She doesn't do dresses, and if none of her other selves got into 'em, she doesn't have to use them either. Shirts will include anything normal, though. T-shirts, tanktops, sweaters, etc. Her preferred colors are fairly deep and moody, such as blues, greens, deeper reds, sunburst orange, gray, white, black, and absolutely nothing that hurts people's eyes. She can't stand to do that to people anymore than her eyes can stand looking at it on others. In addition, Raimi doesn't do tattoos, piercings, or weird augmentations. If you see a mark on her, it's real. If you have to ask where she got it, you don't really want to know.

The Timekiller Suit is a bit...Batman-y. Raimi idolizes Batman, and although her suit doesn't look like the Caped Crusader, you can see some certain stylistic choices that were influenced by the man. The armor-padded full-body suit is mainly black with some dark grays involved to blend in with darkness. The helmet's eye-slots are kind of sinister-looking and intimidating, also red. The claws are generally a yikes in of themselves, looking a bit bulky in comparison to the rest of her, as does the helmet a bit. This is due to their built-in technology and insulation to prevent...well...accidents. The utility belt isn't exactly a Batman utility belt, but it is a belt of many pockets for holding things in. She has the intimidating look because it's hard for anyone to take a teen-turning-adult seriously, sometimes. The symbol on her chest is of an hourglass on its side being eaten by a human skull.

Personality:

I'm adding this because I think it's important. The first thing to note about Raimi is that, beneath it all, she is still a normal person. She cares about people and what happens to them. She wouldn't even get into this sort of thing if she didn't feel it personally. Some would say that her inner worries drive her headlong into situations that she knows are gonna harm her ALOT, and decides that it's worth taking the punishment for the pay-off. Raimi's a bit anti-social, but she is able to switch off the Timekiller for a while, crack a smile, tell a joke, and enjoy her life. Half of what went on in the early days was because she was so afraid of losing her place in life, her point in time where she belonged. To be able to have a place of refuge, a loving family, a life to live... These are most important to her. She hates being the outsider, the outcast, the one that doesn't belong. She bears with it only because she knows there is a place she can go back to when it's all done. Before knowing all that...those were some dark times.

Raimi has a certain stubborn determinism that has bitten her in the ass on more than one occasion. It comes with the territory of looking after time. You were born with the ability to watch over events and alter them, so you feel like there's no greater responsibility to make the right outcome happen than you. That's any of her, but Raimi's life has magnified that to the point where she will take actions that other of her kind will not. She is known specifically for this, out of all the others. She doesn't give up on things because she believes herself to be the last resort, the final straw, back against the wall. If she fails, it's hard for her to imagine anyone who can pull her out of the fire, because it usually means she's in deep. It is because of this that her nature borders on the fatalistic, not really caring how much pain she might be subjected to, as long as everything's intact in the end.

That said, she obviously has breaking points. The time in which she thought she'd lost her place in history was what drove her to the edge, pushed her into more vicious behavior. A perceived failure for her can lead to a rather strong psychological backlash, as she's been there before and seen some pretty terrible things in her life. Raimi is sometimes short-tempered, prone to outbursts, and gets violent when pressed into it. As much as she puts forth the tough persona of the Timekiller who can shoulder all kinds of burdens, these things have affected her, deeply. She has definitely been traumatized by several events in her life, which will be described below. Suffice to say, there is no one more dedicated or desperate in the preservation of time.

Canon or OC: I made up the character. I may have based her off of things recognizable, but the Timekiller is mine.

List of Reimagined traits: Chrono, Timekiller, Epoch, Stopwatch, Oracle, and all the others are their own characters, created by me. Although, technically, they count as re-imaginings of each other.

Story Overview: I don't mind giving you a nice detailed background. In fact, I think it's necessary.

This is the story of Mirai Saito...except it isn't. The 'original' Mirai (Chrono) had a relatively normal life, up until a certain point. Understand, this is going to get a bit complicated, because of the mechanics of practical time travel. To begin with, Mirai was born to a pair of gifted individuals, Kero and Ashi Saito. Her father had shockwave force powers, which he used to become a crash-helmet-wearing superhero called The Flick. Her mother was a well-organized telekinetic, and used her powers for practical purposes by working in a library. A change in the respective histories of the two versions of this girl occurred when she and her father were driving along in their car - He was being a civilian at the time. - when suddenly, BAM! A large creature attacked, a villain whose body had transformed into a chimeric dinosaur being, the TerrorDactylon. Both were thrown from the car, Mirai surviving unscathed because she had instinctively awakened to the power of transporting herself through time, thus appearing many feet away unharmed instead of slamming into glass and concrete, which her father had done...but endured. She then found that he was fighting this big reptile...and he was losing. She had to help him, so she snuck up behind the beast, grabbed onto it, and sent it falling through time, out of their hair.

In another version of events, as soon as Mirai grabbed onto TD, she was tail-slapped at that same moment, and herself tumbled through time. She went hurtling into past points of history, where she was alone and forced to harshen up, or else maybe die of starvation. She fought, she stole, she may've even injured or killed...while desperately trying to figure her power out. When she did so, she appeared back in her time, but...there was another of her already here! It wasn't an instance of her. though. She had worked on her powers with some practicality to figure out what she was capable of, and could tell the difference between an instance of herself...and a completely different version. This was somebody else, and what she thought was someone stealing her place in history. In reality, though, it was Chrono, who had been learning her abilities, as well, beginning to act on her decision to fight crime. They are both teenagers at this time. The girl calling herself Timekiller has been away a number of years. The aging process doesn't happen in Axial Time, but real life still has a hold over them. Seeing Chrono like this, living her life with her family in her town...almost drove TK out of her mind. She tried to kill her other self several times, ultimately culminating in the time she sent the other girl hurtling towards the Axial Center, where she was certain there would be no return. Neither of them had intentionally examined it by this time.

What followed was a point in which the second Mirai enjoyed the first one's life, knowing and palling around with all of her friends, and assuming the role of Chrono for a while. She was happy, and while her education had obviously slipped behind the other one, she used Axial Time to work on catching up on things. Trust me, this is extremely important. This is Japan. You don't get much of a break in Japan. It almost makes you wonder why there was a British foreign exchange student here. Yeah, one of Mirai's friends was a young man struggling with his Japan by the name of Allen Forscythe. He'd been sent here by his uncle after his mother was under police custody for treatment against mental compulsion, and his father was...shall we say unreliable. Not to be contacted. Untrustworthy. Evil? Yeah, evil. Allen's kind of an important mention for several reasons, one of them being that he was right there when the first Mirai surprisingly returned one day while they were hanging out in the park. Imagine being the guy that's watching two identical versions of your friend argue it out like this and - for the record - having already been told about the time powers. Just think about it for a moment. You're having a nice conversation with your friend, when you find out she may've backstabbed another version of that was the actual friend that you knew, not the one you've been talking to the past three months. What do you do?

Well, in the case of Allen, he unexpectedly knocked them both out, dragged them into a toolshed, and demanded an explanation. He was uhh...capable of things himself, chaotic things, because he was born gifted himself. It wasn't a pleasant subject. You see, his story was that he was on the run from his father - the man who'd manipulated and used his mother in so many ways, including the battlefield - Baron Von Madness! His uncle, an alchemic genius known as the Master of Change, helped his mom into rehab and Allen out of the country, but because he was VERY wise to the kinds of things that go on with heroes and villains, he just wasn't taking this from the two of them. He wanted to know exactly what was going on, what that meant for everyone that knew the both of them, and what they were going to DO, going forward. The only answer he got, though, was the 'going forward' part, which was to...escape. They did it right in front of him, both girls slipping into separate portals, and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. Fortunately, this kind of put things into perspective for the two of them. Chrono and Timekiller agreed to stop attacking each other, explain to their parents just what the hell was going on, and then...return TK to her world, because Mirai thought she found the gateway to it at Axial Center.

She was wrong. So very wrong. After the two of them made up and - to distinguish the two of them apart - the second Mirai dubbed herself as 'Raimi' (It's an anagram.), they investigated this portal and Raimi headed to what she THOUGHT was her world...but it wasn't. She discovered a world that practically went to hell, where everything she knew and loved was destroyed and she herself was almost killed while a deadly supervillain nearly gained her powers, and therefore the ability to REALLY screw with history. She escaped back to Chrono's world and recovered there, gaining new levels of PTSD she never knew she had...and it wasn't over yet. As she began to calm down in her life...the PrimalDactylon attacked. He was her first foe, made timeless in the Axial Center, with abilities similar to her own. The world was put into a timeloop on New Year's Eve, and as the countdown commenced, so too would the killing. Thousands of reptile creatures sweeping through the cities, tearing flesh and crushing bone. Millions dying as they rang in the new year, again and again...until they who were gifted in time resisted the loop and pulled out of it.

This was where they met Stopwatch, Epoch, Oracle, and the others. They'd all felt this happen on their worlds and they knew that the Axial Center was being abused. The fact that they could start using their time powers in the place where their attunement with time mainly allows them to experience and navigate it without going crazy or being eaten up by all manner of schisms kinda' said alot. A whole lot of energy was being played out, and as a result they too were being affected in terms of power. This allowed them to combat a great many of the Dactyl instances and gain access to his citadel. However, the Eternity Shield outside needed all of them pressing in to block his power from reaching out, so they could only send one of them in. That was Raimi. She didn't want anybody else to do it, because they wouldn't be up for her own strategy. She knew that Terror/PrimalDactylon was out for blood, and would instantly try to annihilate her. So...in a move worthy of Dr. Strange or a certain well-known Gallifreyan...she put herself in a kind of loop. Axial Time has no history, so when her foe killed her, reducing her to ancient ashes, the ashes remained, but she came back, and she still knew going in what she was doing and had some idea of what actually happened. Again and again, the villain destroyed her, firing beam after beam powered by the crystaline energy source in his chest, until the room was covered in dust. Finally, Raimi slapped the ground with considerable force and filled the room with dust. She tore the crystal from the Dactyl's chest and broke it over his beak, destroying him and his citadel alike!

The aftermath was almost bittersweet. Raimi was alive, though completely drained, and the others had the power to repair the damage to time now that the villain was gone. It was all due to irresponsible use of time. By trying to banish a villain to the place, enough time paradoxes and anomalous events occurred that he became a recursive nightmare plaguing time itself. It couldn't be allowed, just as Chrono's accidental sending of Raimi to the Hellverse couldn't be allowed. It always caused more harm than good. Oracle, who was kind of the self-appointed leader here, was angry...but understanding. They undid the harm, and it wouldn't happen again. More to the point, the traumas that Raimi went through...they were gonna help her with that. They were putting her back in her world, her REAL home, and they regressed her back in age to give her a chance to do it all right. They wanted to help her, but then there was also another reason: Raimi's world needed her there, badly. They ALL had to go back to their worlds and fix their messes as best they could...

Raimi returned to her own life, but sadly...when you're a child, you don't always see things you ought to. At the time, she hadn't known what her real life was like. She hadn't known that a villain had killed her mom, that her dad had gone to vigilantism to kill the one responsible and take justice into his own hands, and that he was wanted by the authorities. It left her an orphan, being taken care of by another superhero, a man who was actually a villain in other worlds. No, it wasn't the Baron. He's still in the UK, but the point is that a number of the heroes were villains in her world, and vice versa. Raimi ended up nearly attacking her own babysitter because he was Sousaphone Man, a man with weaponized brass instruments and low-frequency powers. Shocked by what she had discovered in this world, she entered Axial Time and showed bloody murder at the temporal mass, only to find Oracle replying to her! She assured her that this was indeed her world, and that it was regrettably not perfect. Raimi had to work at it to make it the world that she wanted, the home she so-badly needed, and Oracle further warned her of another issue: "You must stop Cobalt Thorium G. The future of your world depends on it!" But who or what WAS this G?

As it turns out, it was a Dr. Strangelove reference, originally. Namely, the active ingredient in the Doomsday Device. So, Raimi did indeed work at improving herself and her world. Like Mirai before her, she trained like hell and studied all manner of time-related media to help her understand. Back to the Future, Doctor Who, The Time Machine, Slaughterhouse-5, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, a bunch of different Lovecraft tales, any significant time travel story, and so on and so forth. She had to break all limit and fix her world. She found her father and convinced him to turn himself in, get him on probation. Turns out TerrorDactylon was a mercenary in this world and the two of them would end up in a buddy cop situation. Raimi became the Timekiller again and refined her act somewhat, becoming more the hero she wanted to be, though that edge would always be in her life. But then, one day, she found out who Cobalt Thorium G was.



The fight was brief and catastrophic. As much as Raimi was prepared for alot of things, one situation she hadn't been prepared for was a guy projecting pure chaos. None of the others knew that Allen Forscythe was the one, that in her realm he would spring up - without warning and without any prior encounter - and be a walking disaster area. It was the one thing that he'd avoided by working against the Baron. In this case, though...things had gone different, and Allen's power created instabilities in energy and particles, made metahuman powers fly out of control, and made people fly into a rage. By coming in direct contact with him right when their powers went off, strange interactions of time and space collided, a mass release of energy occurred, and dimensional fabrics tore. In an instant, Raimi saw every instance of every enemy she ever encountered, and knew that the path between them and her had somehow opened. More to the point, when she recovered, it appeared that she was no longer in the right time OR place, and there was no longer any sign of Cobalt Thorium G. Had he vanished? Been knocked through the dimensions? Decided to go for a pizza? She didn't know that anymore than she knew where she herself was... One thing was for sure, though. The allure of new territories to conquer and exploit, the desire to cut loose on an unsuspecting population, or even the chance to get another shot at her personally... That would bring her enemies in force. The Baron, Zen, her old friends from the Hellverse - they would come into this place, to take on the world hit by the dimensional blender effect. She had to put a stop to this, because truly...unless she dealt with Cobalt Thorium G, nothing would recover, and everything could be destroyed!

OH NO! This post leads to this post leads to this post leads to this post...
Arrival in Gotham, Foreshadowing of Others.

Name: Damian Wayne
Hero Name: Batman
Known Alias': Previously Robin
Age: Twenty-three

Powers:

Lacking any true powers beyond peak human conditioning, Damian Wayne is nevertheless a undeniably dangerous individual. His upbringing, from the moment he could walk has been in the pursuit of fashioning him as the Alexander the Great of the modern age. He has received training from the formidable League of Assassins in the ways of a warrior, and the stealth of an assassin. Top education from private tutors molded his mind to know numbers and theories, and studious effort under his father Bruce Wayne taught him all manner of detective work and gave him an eye for mystery and strategy. Both learned and natural talents are his powers, allowing Damian to excel in his line of work, and he knows it.

He learned well, throwing himself into the role which had been chosen for him by dint of birth. His mother always told him he was destined for greatness, his grandfather promised him the inheritance of the Demon’s head, and by rights the legacy of the Wayne family was his burden to bear; meaning he had much to live up too. Dedicated to making his family proud and emboldened by promises of greatness Damian forced himself to succeed where others would fail or surrender to vice. Thus, at an early age he knew mixed martial arts, swordplay, advanced arithmetic, and infiltration and evasion tactics on par with the average Shadow assassin. At nine he was given over to his father’s care, though their time together was short lived he learned his place at Batman’s side as Robin. Developing his initial understanding of detective skills. Under Dick Grayson’s guardianship Damian grew to be a better person, learning restraint and how to laugh, shedding some of the torturous burden laid upon him by his Grandfather and mother. With Grayson’s careful guidance he learned to plan his battles, when to attack, when to go all out and when to be reserved. A lesson he is still absorbing to this day on even after a decade to work on it.

Eventually Bruce Wayne returned to the living and retook his rightful place as Batman; Damian continued his education, enhancing his already poignant skills under his parent’s sharp eyes. Honing himself to be on par with the caped crusader, competing tooth and nail against his equally competent adopted brothers for Bruce’s attentions. Damian forced himself to outshine them all, there was no other option. He would honor his father, and earn the name owed to him, come hell or high water.

Equipment:

The Batman arsenal has been severely limited as of late. Following the fateful hours of Protocol Knightfall most of the Batcave, and other hideouts were destroyed, and their contents, weapons, and data erased from existence. The new Batman, Damian Wayne has been forced to scrounge for the few assets remaining, including his father’s utility belt, grapple guns, a few dozen batarangs, among other gadgets. His own hideout created following his separation from Bruce has given him a few mismatch pieces to fill out the vulnerabilities in his gear, such as his sword, smoke pellets, and various explosives, leaving him equipped in a mishmash of Robin and Batman gear. His personal motorcycle survived Protocol Knightfall, as well as a single wrist datapad, and a laptop Damian had on him containing some of Batman’s vast file collection. Attempting to rebuild is his top priority, and resecuring lost assets is a must, as criminals, government agents, and even other vigilantes pilfer Bruce Wayne’s vast network of supply caches and hideouts, hoping to find extravagant Batgear unguarded.

Appearance:

Given his life of near constant extreme physical activity Damian Wayne has a body to match. Tall and lean he has long ago shed the last of his boyishness for a strong jaw and angular features. In many ways he takes after his mother, though it is often a trick of the eye due to his youth and focus on agility. He lacks his father’s heavier build, and even in the bulky body armor of the Batsuit it is painfully clear that a different person has donned the cowl. Not that Damian makes any effort to pretend otherwise. Due to his slightly smaller stature while in uniform he is forced to wear an assortment of old Robin gear, alongside the traditional Batman garb. His boots and gloves are a conspicuous dark green, clashing against the drab grey and black of the body suit, which even still sits loosely over his shoulders. The utility belt is yellow, but instead of the bat symbol it possesses a golden R, though most of these oddities can be concealed beneath the heavy cape and cowl and a good shadow, not that Damian overly cares about his mismatch appearance. After all, he has got far more pressing matters to concern himself with.

Known Affiliations:

Damian had a short run with the Teen Titans during his starting days under Batman’s tutelage even leading them for a short period. Due to his obvious disdain for the other teenage heroes, he was eventually booted from the team by popular vote, and has never truly reclaimed their respect, not that he ever wanted it to begin with. Otherwise, the only other team Damian has been associated with was the small group of like-minded ex-sidekicks who called themselves the Lernaean Cohort, which Damian joined after his argument and separation from Bruce. Their eventual betrayal and attempt to subdue him forced Damian back to Gotham, and into hiding.





Canon or OC:

Canon, sorta. Batman, and Damian Wayne have been long established in Detective Comics, however I am hoping to take advantage of this scenario and bring the new Batman up against foes and situations normally not associated with DC. Although I will attempt to keep Damian more or less accurate to his comic origins, he will undoubtedly take on a unique persona under my less than amazing writing and characterization skills.

Story Overview:

Damian will start on the verge of disaster, and things really will not get much better for him. After his separation from Batman, which lasted four months, Damian joined the Lernaean Cohort, which he soon began to lead, taking a more personalized approach to fighting crime. He was hardly the first Robin to do so, after all Bruce’s handling of his sons has always been questionable at best. Unlike his siblings Damian is as hardheaded as Bruce himself, and their differences could not be easily repaired, thus he was at first unaware of what was happening during the opening stages of Protocol Knightfall. What transpired after is mostly unknown to the new Batman, but what Damian does know is this: Batman was in Moscow, investigating something big when the entire Bat clan and several of their associates’ identities were unveiled by investigative reporter Hans Zuthenlifer. Including Timothy Drake, Jason Todd, Richard Grayson, Luke Fox, Selina Kyle, Kate Kayne, Damian Wayne, and Bruce Wayne. The purge happened in the next twelve hours, almost before anyone could fully comprehend what happened. Assassinations, and disappearances of nearly all the exposed members. The worst part, the leak was reported to have come from none other than the Lernaean Cohort, Damian’s own team.

Before he died Batman managed to initiate Protocol Knightfall, destroying most of the assets and computer records that contained any information on other members of the Justice Society, and the Bat Clan, while also detonating the Batcave before government agents or notorious villains could infiltrate Wayne manor. Meanwhile Damian confronted his team in their headquarters, demanding an explanation for this betrayal, and was met with a fight that nearly cost him his life and freedom. Robin only just managed to escape, hiding within Gotham struggling to piece together whatever remained of his father’s mission. Determined find out why this was happening Damian tracked Hans Zuthenlifer to a warehouse in downtown Gotham, but the “reporter” proved to be more of a challenge than Damian expected. In the end Hans perished, Damian’s sword thrust through his heart, as Gordon and his police moved in.

Now on the run from the law, from the remainder of the Bat clan, and from the League of Assassins Damian must use all his talents and skills and knowledge to avenge his father and clear his name. He never got the chance to reconcile with Bruce, a torture that set its roots deep in Damian’s mind, but he will persist. Alone if he has to, but he may learn that allies are necessary to wage a war, and friends are required to recover from grief, because no man is an island. Whether he discovers these truths or not he has to set things right, and if anyone could manage, it would be Damian Wayne!

Story Overview This version of Hal is a bit younger, having grown up on the streets of Coast City, he has been in and out of foster homes since he can remember. His father was a test-pilot for the US Airforce, his mother, he doesn't remember anything about. He was always getting into trouble with Officer Stewart, who always tried to keep him on the straight and narrow. It worked for the most part. Hal is known as a sort of Homeless hero, always leaping to the rescue of other homeless that get attacked. Hal has never had a home or anyone to really cling onto as a parent figure. All he can do is keep surviving until he hits 16, when he's allowed to follow his father into the Air Force.

Then, one day he gets a magic ring, and then a man called Sinestro came into his life. Sinestro tells him of the power of the ring, tells him that it is one of 7, Green, Gold, Blue, Indigo, Pink, Orange and Red. He was previously on a team with the other 6 Lanterns, but they were defeated by the Intergalactic Warlord Despero. All he could do was flee to an unknown world and regroup. The Green ring chose Hal and now they need to work together to recover the other 5 rings, lest they fall into the hands of evil.
