[CHAR] Gotham Knights - City On Fire

[Kazemitsu]

Name: Kaze
Alias: Kaze. (Pronounced Kay-z.)
Age: Mid to late twenties, or so his file said.
Powers/Skills:

• Mild Regeneration: He heals faster than most people. Broken bones heal in a day or two. The softer the tissue the faster he heals basically. Fastest he ever healed was an hour for a flesh wound.
• Enhanced Strength: He has a good deal of strength at his disposal. He doesn't know the full measure but he can lift cars and trucks over his head.
• Armored Body: He has thick scales and plates covering his body, making only the hardest blows actually effective. Unless someone wises up and gets under the scales.
• Animal Sense: Thanks to the mutations and experiments some of his senses have been heightened. Namely his sense of smell and hearing roughly three times as powerful as the typical human.

Equipment:

• Cleaver: A big and thick blade that he made out of steel. About five feet long, four inches wide, and an inch thick with a chipped edge.
• Cloth: He's a tad to big for conventional clothing, so he has what amounts to a kilt wrapped around his waist. He also keeps bandages wrapped around his arms oddly enough.
• Bracers: The only armor he wears is a pair of well polished bracers made of steel with what looks to Norse runes. The runes are completely ornamental, nothing magic or powerful.

Weaknesses: He's of a heavy reptilian nature, really cold climates will kill him after a certain amount of time. Cool climates will send him into a hibernation, leaving him vulnerable until he's in a warmer clime. He's also not widely accepted by the populace, so he is a lone wolf and not much of a team player. Relies heavily on his Armored Body so doesn't have the best pain tolerance to smaller wounds like getting stabbed.
Experience: Only experienced at hunting, blacksmithing, and crude animalistic fighting.
Alignment: Walks the line.
Personality: Honorable, loyal, angry, blunt, stubborn.
Appearance:

BRIEF Bio:
Kaze is an anomaly really, he doesn't remember who he was before the experiments. Just what was jotted down in a file that showed what he looked like, who he was, before it all. Of course it wasn't consensual, who would want to exist as a beast? It was illegal abductions and experimentation that was eventually traced by Batman. Kaze, his chosen alias, was freed by The Bat. Mostly because as bestial as he was he didn't lash out at him and just wanted to leave the place.

So he was shown to the exit and smuggled out of the city to the surrounding woodlines. It was around here that he made his home while vowing to repay Batman for freeing him from who knows what fate. But still there was a festering anger towards people in general for allowing society to produce such insane individuals such as the unknown doctor who had experimented on him.
How did you meet Batman: Was saved by Batman and introduced to his current woodland home.
Notes: Kaze stands at roughly eight feet tall. No unfortunately he doesn't have wings, much to bulky. Yes that picture is MINE, paid for by me.

[Skinner35]

Hider

Name: Toby Skinner.
Alias: Nuke.
Powers/Skills: Able to control kinetic energy around his body and unleash it in a variety of ways. He can center it into a punch, strong enough to level a building. Or simply use it as a flashlight in his hands. He can also unleash it into the ground in a single direction to create a shock wave. His most powerful attack is unleashing it in every direction, with a blast radius of 10 feet, roughly.
Weakness: Watching his friends be harmed, it causes him to lose control to protect them.
Equipment: Nothing to special, except for the centerpiece of his chest, which he can use as a cannon with his powers.
Alignment: Walking the line. He's a mercenary.
Personality: Unorthodox, Charismatic, Loyal, Intuitive, Protective.
Bio: He was born with his powers into a family that loved the circus. They often went to see the Flying Graysons. Once during a show, there was an attack. You know where this goes. Years later, he became a mercenary, working for money. He fights with who ever has a good cause or a good paycheck.
How did he meet Batman: He tried to break in to the Wayne Manor when he got a job to assassinate Bruce Wayne. Then, after a good fight, he learned that Wayne was the Bat. Wayne saw that he needed help, and told him that he would call Nuke when the time came.
Notes: He really likes to fight fights that he shouldn't be able to win.

[Omega Man]

Name: Jericho, aka Mark Winston [formerly in the body of Slade Wilson, presently in the body of Richard Grayson]
Alias: Skeleton Jack
Age:Early 20's
Powers/Skills:

heightened physical attributes - conditioned in gymnastics all of his life have made him near superhumanly agile, moreso than even Batman. His strength, speed, and stamina are on par with Olympic level athletes. Grayson is easily the fastest and most agile of the Bat-family.

marksmanship - skilled marksman with projectiles and guns.

hand-to-hand - trained in several styles of fighting by Bruce Wayne as well as some of the same teachers Bruce had.

tracking - while not as good as Batman, he used his skills as a detective in Bludhaven for a time on their police force.

stealth - knows how to use the shadows and misdirection to his advantage.

Equipment:

His fists, lockpicks and blades stashed in his boots and gloves, his helmet, as well as an old crowbar he found in the Bat-Cave.

Weaknesses:

He's just a normal guy in light body armor with heightened physicals. He can still be stabbed or shot, and is as human as anybody in this regard.

Experience: Jericho has been an active body jumper for years, but recently lost his body. Grayson had at least 8 years experience working with Batman, and another five years training with his parents the Flying Graysons.

Alignment: hero/vigilante

Personality: kind hearted, loyal, brave, calculating, stubborn

Appearance: [pic or description]



BRIEF Bio:

Skeleton Jack has recently been revealed as an alias of Jericho, former Teen Titan and body jumper. He first began using the alias when in the body of his father Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke. On the trail of Bane who had kidnapped his sister Rose, Jericho unknowingly accepted the task of also saving Nyssa Al Ghul from Bane from members of the League of Assassins. When Nyssa was found dead, Batman agreed to help Jericho put Slade on the other side of the US and in return Jericho jumped into the dead body of Richard Grayson before it was too late to possess the body.

Batman is now travelling outside of Gotham to find a way to bring back the other two boys he had to bury. Damian and Jason are gone, but he hasn't forgotten.

As Mark Winston, Jericho works a part time day job delivering materials, files, and paperwork for Wayne Industries in Gotham, as well as several of the company's manufacturing plants located in Industrial Park in Gotham.

How did you meet Batman: Batman had met Jericho during his days as a Teen Titan under the leadership of Nightwing.

Notes: My character's secret ID will eventually come back to haunt him. When Slade finds out about what his kid did he's gonna have some choice words for him. Once the healing powers of Jericho completely heal Grayson, when he exits the body Richard should come back to life. But who would Jericho go into next?

[vancexentan]

Simply put I do, or I don't. - Damocles

Name: Albert Cagley

Alias: Damocles

Age: 30

Powers/Skills:

Master Hacker

Technology Expert

Mild Combat Training (guns, minor hand to hand, and basic first aid)

Equipment: (Standard) lightweight body armor, 2 M1911 pistols, Police Baton, KA-BAR Knife, Sawed off Shotgun, Smart Phone with built in hacking software capable of quickly hacking into nearby computer interfaces. (non-standard) flash bangs, and shock gloves (custom built gloves that send a taser like bolt of electricity into body via touch)

Weaknesses:
Standard human weaknesses he is no stronger, or weaker than the average man. Though he has combat training a well placed bullet will put him down like anyone else.

Reliance on technology leads to him having issues when it's taken away. While he can hold his own he is woefully incapable of handling much without his equipment.

Lacks any real way to take down a meta-human in a straight up fight. Lucky for Albert he doesn't like to play fair.

Experience: 10 years of Experience

Alignment: Walking the Line

Personality: Brutal, Efficient, Cold, Distant, and humorless

Appearance: Usually wears a dark tan trench coat, or a black coat. He typically wears a hat, and a pair of shaded glasses to hide his eyes and face. Underneath that he wears his body armor on his chest, and knees. Only wearing a standard t-shirt, and pair of pants underneath. His shoes are usually made for running, and are worn because of that. He has thick brown hair, murky green eyes, pale white skin, and no facial hair as he keeps himself well shaven. He is of standard male height of 5'10 but is more fit in comparison to other people due to his tendency to practice training for his job.

BRIEF Bio: Born in Gotham young Albert was a young man with his path set up for him. However his parents weren't exactly the most supportive. They were always more focused on their job as bankers than taking care of him. Left to his own devices by his nannies he was quite the dull child never really finding interests in tv, or in toys. He was hardly ever placed around kids his own age and when he did he really didn't care either way for them. As he grew older he found he had a talent for thinking outside the box as puzzles, and math problems were trivial to him and he hardly cared for history, or for more mundane things like how to take care of one's home. His parents ignored him up until he was graduating high school and in which case they more or less forced him into the family business. Left with few other options that didn't appease him he went into the banking business with his parents and started off as a clerk. His bosses valued him for his skills, and talent early on but didn't show any favoritism towards him.

As he started to grow up he found out more, and more about the disgusting nature of Gotham as he learned more about it's corruption. His bosses were secretly paying up to the mob, and other villains and he decided he would be different. He was not satisfied with being some puppet for some mafia boss sitting in his fancy room with a fat cat. He started to study Wayne tech, and Luthor Corp technologies as well as other important technology companies. He searched on the internet for ways of hacking into them and began to assemble, and buy technology in order to get into their systems. Using his natural born talent for problem solving he began to learn how to use fire arms at a nearby firing range, and some basic hand to hand techniques online. As he started to stockpile his arsenal he started to become a shadow in his workplace going unnoticed by his superiors.

His first job was his own workplace he leaked major info regarding his superiors after he broke into the place late at night and uncovered even more dirt than he realized. His break in caught the attention of Batman who was just starting out himself and he managed to escape Batman via quick thinking, and using his home made hacking software to trap him temporarily in a safe room after fooling the man with a walkie talkie. He continued to do jobs all over Gotham doing everything from murdering drug dealers, to mafia bosses to hacking info on corrupt business owners, and criminals. He drew the line at people who were innocent he never embezzled funds, or hurt people (when possible) if they had done little to no wrong. He earned the title Damocles by the underworld by acting as 'an allusion to the imminent and ever-present peril faced by those in positions of power.' Though he mainly operated in Gotham he made sure to do his best to avoid running into Batman only really working in short bursts but he did his best to make those short bursts as effective as possible. He quit his job and began to live off of odd jobs, and the funds he gained by taking on bounties for his targets or even the funds he stole from his targets. He occasionally went to other cities but avoided Meta-Human dominate cities on purpose.

How did you meet Batman: Albert met Batman via his work though Batman failed to ever catch him due to Albert's own careful nature he has often almost gotten caught.

Notes: Albert is based off of the characters from Watch Dogs

[Metronome]

Wraith

Name: Ka'van Soeray
Alias: Wraith
Age: Late-twenties in human years
Gender: Male
Race: Alien half-demon

Powers/Skills: As Wraith's name implies, he has a ghostly powerset. The powers listed are things that occur because of the demon bound to his soul. The skills are things that come naturally to his people

Powers:
He can phase through solid objects
He can teleport using shadows
When in the shadows, he can make himself completely invisible
As for powers to be used on the offense, he can use telekinesis to lift/move objects with his mind.

Skills:
Empathy; he can feel the emotions of others.
Aura reading; he has an uncanny ability to know if someone is a 'good' or 'bad' person.

Equipment: He doesn't really carry weapons or anything.

Weaknesses: Ka'van kind of got screwed over with the whole demon thing. Every day he has to live under the threat of an evil force inside of him taking over his body and going on a rampage. The demon threatens to gain more power over him when he himself looses control. As such, Ka'van has evolved himself to be very well disciplined. He mustn't let negative emotions overtake him; which, as an empath in a crime infested city, can be very difficult at times. He meditates often to reign in any negative emotions he may feel. And lastly, his people on his home planet used a powerful, psychic connection to one another, almost like a hivemind, as a lifeforce. Ka'van has been removed from that force, so he must rely on his human connections to supplement it. In other words, he could literally die of loneliness.

Experience: Ka'van was trained by the religious leaders of his planet to fight demons. When he arrived on Earth, he knew how to fight; maybe even a little too well. He accidentally killed the first few human criminals he tangled with, being unable to grasp just how fragile an average human can be. But after two years, he's gotten a good feel for when to hold back or not. Especially with the Bat breathing down his neck.

Alignment: Would typically be considered a hero, but every now and then, he toes that line between traditional hero and anti-hero.

Personality: Mild mannered, soft spoken, polite, calm, somber, and emotionally restrained.

Appearance:
When he appears as Wraith, Ka'van is a solid black figure with bright red, solid eyes, clothed with a tattered, grey cloak. He stands at 5'11" and has a lean muscular build.

In his civilian form, Ka'van still stands out from other people. He is clearly not human. Even among his own kind, he was different. His skin is dark grey like ash, and his eyes are bright red. His hair is messy and pitch black. Ka'van has a lean muscle build and remains the same height.

How did you meet Batman: After meeting a particularly evil villain, Ka'van found it appropriate to kill the man. His reasoning was that he wasn't reformable. This earned him a very long, serious talk from Batman. It ended with: if you live in my city, you play by my rules. Ka'van has enough respect for the Bat to continue to honor this agreement, even if he doesn't particularly agree with it.

History:
Ka'van was born on a far away planet that had a large tear between the mortal and demonic realm. The demonic entities of the other realm flooded the planet, quickly taking over and laying waste to the civilization there. Ka'van was the last child to be born before a permanent sterilization overtook his people. Their bodies, far more sensitive to mediumship than a human's, refused to bring any more young into the terrible world their home had become.

Ka'van was taken by the religious leaders of his people as a last ditch effort to rid themselves of their demonic enemies. A ceremony was performed to bind his soul with that of a captured demon. Being the youngest of his kind, they hoped that he would be able to survive the ritual, where others had died. The goal was to use him as a weapon against the leader of the demons, to defeat him and send the rest back to their realm.

Ka'van was trained until he was a teenager, when his species was on the very brink of extinction. He decided that he was ready to face down their evil ruler, and in a battle to the death, he just barely won. The others demons fled the planet, leaving the people to pick up the pieces of what was left. The religious leaders would then gather to perform a ritual that would ensure that demons could never step foot on their surface again. Unfortunately for Ka'van, that meant him as well.

Ka'van would be spared for his heroic deed, but he had to be sent away. His planet's new leaders searched for a new planet to send him to; somewhere with a livable atmosphere similar to theirs. Earth was the closest option. Through a powerful ritual, Ka'van was teleported to Earth. There, he vowed to help protect the planet's people and to never let the demon he was bound with overthrow him. His spirit has remained strong, despite being separated from his people.

Notes: He doesn't really keep a secret identity. He makes a living outside of hero work by setting up a small trading route between his planet and Earth. Precious metals that are rare on Earth are a bit more common on his home planet, Talga. So Ka'van can receive packages of said metals from his people and turn around and sell them for Earth prices. No big time corporations have figured out how to make this illegal yet.

He's a vegetarian.

Those who are around him while he is in his Wraith form complain that he makes the atmosphere around him bone chillingly cold. A good way to know if he's nearby is whether or not you can see your breath on a warm summer evening.

[Unknown100]

Name: Kate Kane
Alias: Batwoman
Age: 30
Powers/Skills:
- Advanced hand-to-hand combat. Up there (or at least close) with the likes of Batman and Deathstroke.
- Expert marksman
- Unconventionally keen mind for strategy both in a fight and outside one.

Equipment:
- A modified, advanced infantry armor made for maximum mobility.
- Beretta 92
- Batarangs
- Grappling gun
- Retractable combat staff.
- Small selection of one-off gadgets like: EMP, simple antidotes and a mouthpiece for diving or surviving toxic environments.

Weaknesses: Human physiology. Underneath the suit and skills she’s just as vulnerable as any one.

Experience: 11 years in the military. 7 of which she has experienced actual combat. Besides that she has mastered most kinds of martial arts.

Alignment: Hero
Personality: Haunted, serious and secluded. Cold, yet with a newfound optimism (because of Renee Montoya), she still hasn’t quite adjusted to.

Appearance:

BRIEF Bio:
Kate had always been a fighter, and there was no question she would go in her father’s footsteps and join the military, as soon as she came of age. Serving her country was the way to go. All the yelling and strict discipline made her feel right at home, yet she never lost her sense of humor. Life was good and hiding your sexuality wasn’t so bad, when your body was busy doing push-ups.

Then came war…

The first friend Kate ever lost was to a roadside bomb. In 1 second an inferno of fire changed everything, and the feeling of helplessness crept in. Lying with her friend’s blood smeared all over her, Kate realized she wasn’t enough. She had been too laid back. Resting on her talents instead of pushing her limits to the breaking point. She had hid the fact that she was a lesbian, but no more.

The following years, wars, and conflicts hardened Kate more than any man around her. Soon she yelled commands instead of taking them, as she charged into the heart of warfare. She never kept track of her medals only her spare time. Vacations meant exploring new martial arts and mastering new kinds of weaponry.
One day she got home, she noticed something: Home had changed or maybe she had changed and only now saw it all. Corruption was everywhere. All the bad in people were right out there in the gutter. Was this really the home she fought so hard to protect? The place her teammates died for? Kate didn’t know so she just kept doing the only thing she was ever good at.
Then one time, after a brutal ambush, Kate lost it. She didn’t just return fire, she went on to exterminate and burn down the entire village, the enemy forces were occupying. At least 40 men taken by the flames.
This had never been her mission. And a part of her would almost be glad, if she got court-martialed. Instead her superiors threw another medal at her. Claimed Kate was a hero.
That’s when it hit her that there was something fundamentally broken at the source. If society had shaped these old men who all praised her, then she was fighting on the wrong battlefield.
In her foolishness, she hadn’t seen that there was a man whom had already realized this fact long ago. The Batman.
A lot of things happened after that: Kate donned the name Batwoman. A run-in with an officer named Renee Montoya blossomed into a relationship. And Kate managed to do what Nightwing had failed at for 8 months: put Black Mask behind bars and in a body cast.
This is where her story begins.

How did you meet Batman: Following her return to society, Kate climbed the tallest building in Gotham: Wayne Tower. She unloaded her Beretta into the sky, and when Batman came they had a talk. The first real talk she had had in years. They decided she would make contact to a former associate of his in Bludhaven, and Batman left her with the words “If you bring war to his city, I’ll be coming for you.”

Notes: Batwoman might be the one person most likely to see that Batman is hiding something. That something has gone terribly wrong, and that this is the result of it.

[Tackytaff]

Klarion

Name: Klarion Bleak
Alias: 'Klarion, the Witch Boy'
Age: 15
Powers/Skills:

Magic: Klarion is well versed in many forms of magic, preforming best with energy manipulation and necromancy.

Rituals: In addition to innate magical talent, Klarion studied in Limbo Town, and knows how to perform magic enhancing rituals.

Familiar:Teekl takes the form of an orange cat, often perched on Klarion’s shoulders. With their connection, Klarion can view ‘through’ Teekl, and in desperate times, merge with him to become a ‘horigal’. Teekl is magic himself, and is able to take a much large form of a ‘werecat’ when needed.

Equipment:

Cruciform: A wand to aid Klarion in necromancy.

Weaknesses:

Non-Combatant: Klarion is slight of frame, and has the strength to reflect it. As well as having no combat training at all, he is best suited to back-lines, often relying on his familiar for frontal attack.

Tech-illiterate:There were no computer or cellphones in Limbo Town, and Klarion’s isolationist habits haven’t exposed him to much in the way of technology. He would be unable to operate even a television remote.

Familiar:Teekl aids Klarion as much as he weakens him. When apart from his familiar for too long, Klarion’s powers become much weaker and unstable.

Experience: Klarion's entire life has been dedicated to the study and practice of magic. While he has been in the surface world for years, he is often still surprised by what it and humans have to offer.
Alignment: Klarion doesn’t understand the concept of good and evil as most humans do. He is largely selfish and indulgent to his own whims, but has often come to the aid of others, if for a price.
Personality: Curious, egotistical, ambitious, rebellious, eccentric.
BRIEF Bio:

Klarion was born in Limbo Town, a magically hidden city lying beneath the New York metro system. Witch women and men – descendants of Roanoke, all of whom practice necromancy, inhabit the town. It is strict in tradition and belief, and to speak of any world outside is blasphemy; which wasn't enough to stop Klarion from wondering and subsequently warned away. When his home was besieged by an out of control horigal, Klarion escaped to ‘Blue Rafters’ the world above Limbo Town, specifically the New York subway, and the perusing monster was hit by a train.

There were handfuls of his kind in the outside world, the first he met with was Badde. After gaining Klarion’s trust, he attempted to sell the boy and a number of other children into slavery. When the plans where discovered the children killed Badde and offered Klarion a place with them, which he declined in favour of more adventure.

Klarion was quickly betrayed again by his next friend, a man secretly searching for Limbo Town who used Klarion to procure a drill that could get him there. His plans where discovered too late and, still feeling some connection to his home, Klarion returned to Limbo Town to warn the people of what was coming. When he returned and began to speak of an outside world he was proclaimed a blasphemer and sentenced to burn at the stake. He was only saved by the timely entrance of outsiders using the drills he stole to break into Limbo Town.

The town was saved, only by Klarion learning to merge with Teekl become a horigal, a strong and wild form that can only be undone by a witch-woman. Once the threat was gone, he again left for the surface world, where he began to wreak havoc upon the young justice team and justice league, using magic to alter their ages. Inevitably, the full force of both groups came down on him, and Klarion was forced to reverse the effects when Teekl was captured. Since, Klarion as done his fair share of good and evil deeds, all from self-serving motives.

How did you meet Batman: Batman has been doing his best to keep tabs on Klarion since his bout with the Young Justice team and Justice League.

thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/young-us-sold…

BRIEF Bio: Right after high school Thomas joined the Marines. It was originally so he could use money he earned to pay for college along with the Montgomery GI Bill. During his first tour he found he really enjoyed it. So he put off college by signing up for a second, third, and fourth tour. During his second tour he was paralyzed from the waist down. After he was discharged from the Marines he spent several months in rehab. After a very bad day he was approached by a fat lady in a suit. She made him an offer he couldn’t refuse the ability to walk. All he had to do was come to work for her. That is how he became Guardian.

How did you meet Batman: He was sent to Gotham by the fat lady in suit, his mission put him in the crosshairs of the Batman. He had heard about him, mostly exaggerated stories and pure fiction. So he didn’t hold him in high regard. When the Batman interfered hid did as duty required he attacked him for interfering with a government sanctioned mission. They fought to a standstill, eventually they realized they were fighting for the same thing and they temporarily teamed up to accomplish their shared goal.

[rocketrobie2]

:Name:
Xane Swift

:Alias:
(previously Slipstream) Bolt

:Age:
24

:Powers/Skills:
None. Xane’s only defining characteristic is his slacker attitude which he’s been trying to work on.

:Equipment:
Velocity 9 - A street drug that allows the user to move at superhuman speeds and think at an accelerated rate. While not capable of allowing the user to reach the speed of light, it is capable of getting them pretty close and easily putting them a step above any normal human.
Gear - While super speed is plenty on it’s own, Xane employs some batman loaned gadgetry to increase his effectiveness in a fight. It’s nothing too fancy, a handful of standard Batarangs (which he mostly uses at close range or in melee combat since he’s not a very good aim with them yet) and some light body armour.

:Weaknesses:
Addiction - Xane is addicted to Velocity 9 and the thrill he gets from traveling at superhuman speeds. As such it’s possible for him to get severe withdrawal effects from A) not having regular dosages of Velocity 9 and/or B) going slow for too long.

:Experience:
Two Weeks

:Alignment:
Walking the Line

:Personality:
Naturally-lazy, short-fused, laid-back

:Appearance:

Appearance

:BRIEF Bio:
Xane Swift had been a deadbeat all his life, mooching off his parents and expecting everything in the world to be given to him on a silver platter. This mentality landed him in a situation of no escape where he was being cut off from his parent’s funds and getting kicked out of college for his poor attendance and grades. As things went downhill Xane was contacted by a sect of criminals known as the Reapers who offered him a way to make quick cash by going even quicker. The Reapers supplied Xane with a suit that granted him superspeed and they told him to commit a string of robberies. Xane did his job but was eventually taken down by Batgirl in a final confrontation beneath Gotham.

Xane went to Blackgate prison without much fretting as the Reapers had told him that if he did end up going away they’d bust him out. He waited and waited for his escape team but it never came. Xane spent the rest of his time in Blackgate regretting all of his life designs up to that point and vowing that once he got out he’d turn his life around. That opportunity came when he was given an offer by none other than Batman to help him in a case that needed the fastest Gothamite alive.

:How did you meet Batman:
Xane had never met Batman prior to his incarceration but Batman learned about Xane from Spoiler who gave a mission report at the request of Batman. Batman supplied Xane with confiscated Velocity 9 that he’d managed to take from criminals during his time in Gotham and he provided him with a new suit.

:Notes:
At some point I’d like for Xane to ween off of V9 and get his old suit back if that would be possible.

[Nightwing95]

Batwing

Name: Lucas 'Luke' Fox

Alias: Batwing

Age: Mid-Twenties

Powers/Skills:

• Highly advanced genius level intellect.
• Global mastery of several martial arts, including point system fighting styles, Spear kung fu/ Shaolin Red Eagle spear technique and Kubi Nage a Judo
• Skilled in the art of disguise and the field of tactical analysis.
• Capable acrobat, although a bit awkward.
• Business Management.

Equipment:

Dissimilar to other Gothamite crimefighters, Luke Fox’s bat-suit is a full bodied armor, covering him from head to toe. Its features include, but not limited to, a full face plate with retractable mouth-guard, bulletproof/shock resistant armor, an interior skin that monitors vital signs and has medical repair capabilities, a cloaking mechanism, and retractable wings that are capable of granting Luke high-speed flight through the use of jet-boots. It also comes equipped with sensory enhancements and an in-built computer.

He also carries the typical Bat-family equipment, like batarangs, both normal as well as vapor and dagger variants. sprays, flash and stun devices and of course a grappling hook.

Weaknesses: Luke is a hot-head, a talker, and tends to be more social than perhaps someone with his night life should be. Being a bad-boy growing up helped to instill a rebellious streak in him that would follow through his starting career as Batwing. It has also been noted that he is a bit hard-headed and sometimes requires learning things the hard way.

Experience: Luke is in the second year of his career as Batwing, although he is far from the veteran crime-fighter that Dick and Jason are. Even Damian has more time on under his belt as Robin.

Alignment: Hero

Personality: Intelligent, Arrogant, Talkative, Sarcastic and Observant.

Appearance:https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/50/97/58/509758b12e92698d051782d89e93dea3.jpg

BRIEF Bio: Lucas Fox was the only son of Lucius and Tanya Fox, as well as the older brother of his two sisters Tamara and Tiffany. Luke's father was not only one of the most sought after businessmen and inventors all over the corporate world, but also a secret ally and provider of tech and weapons to Gothams vigilante, the Batman, a secret that placed the Fox family in a precarious position when Lucius was abducted by Baron Bedlam. Following a rescue by Batman and his newly-assembled Outsiders, Lucius had to be hospitalized due to a shock-induced heart attack, but luckily pulled through without any serious damage. The family was supported by Bruce Wayne in every step of the way, causing young Luke to develop an admiration for both the Man and the Mask, as well as gaining a strong sense of justice in his formative years.

Despite growing in a household of prestige and wealth, Luke wouldn't hesitate to stand up for the little guy. In high-school, he developed a close friendship with the son of a poor immigrant family from Russia, a boy by the name of Russel Tavaroff, after defending him from a gang of bullies. The two of them were troublemakers, often getting themselves involved in situations with dubious legality. This caused Luke to gain small infamy and the reputation of a delinquent, something that deeply troubled his parents. Despite their warnings Luke would stick by his friend, thinking that he kept Russel safe and honest, only to discover the hard truth later. Russel aspired to join the Russion Mafia of Gotham by pushing drugs in their school for the 'Brotherhood', and even planning vengeance on his past bullies y putting hits on them. Realizing that things went far enough, Luke managed to foil his friends attempts and reported everything he knew to the police, causing the arrest of a Russel that now felt utterly betrayed and abandoned....

Following the conclusion of that event, Luke would return to the ways of a gifted student. Completing his secondary education in Gotha City High School with an impeccable record, he would later graduate a year early from MIT with dual degrees in Business and Engineering. With such a background it would be a walk in the park to find a job in any company his wished, even receiving an open invitation from Wayne Enterprises. But Luke would instead decide to follow his own path, one that surprisingly included Mixed Martial Arts and Cage-fighting. While to many it seemed just like every other youthful rebellion, Fox found great success as an MMA fighter, moving from small tournaments to the big leagues, all the while leading a double life as a vigilante and delivering street justice, all with the single goal to attract Batmans attention. Eventually he succeeded and during his middleweight championship run with the UFC, Luke was called to receive the mantle of Batwing by the Dark Knight himself.

How did you meet Batman: Unlike other vigilantes, Luke pursued the Bat in order to gain his attention. Under the guise of a vigilante he saved Bruce Wayne during an attack from Maxie Zeus in a gala he attended. After the resignation of David Zavimbe, Batman knew that the primary choice for carrying the mantle of Batwing was Luke Fox.
