Writing another character sheet, but it feels a bit bald (*cough*ObviousHint*cough*) compared to some of our more recent ones.

Great work all around, everyone.

Lex think about bald characters for a moment.

[Enarr]

@Sloth I personally like the sheets that are detailed but find them tedious to write and sometimes difficult to work with (though I think I'm getting quite used to it), not always. I didn't mean to say that yours was too long to enjoy reading, but I'd rather read GA posts. Y'know? Of course you do.

I ain't here for politics y'all. I just really like the layout for Face's abilities and goal sections. Forgive me if I sound like a hipocrite. Its just how I roll.

I feel like you're trying to tell us something but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Damn it, man. Now I want Simmons to be Lex Luthor in a movie.

You're trying to tell me that you didn't want that already?

[Byrd Man]

Decided to drop Tracy Lawless for an old standard.

| Identity |

Samuel "Slam" Bradley

| Origin & Backstory |

Samuel "Slam" Bradley grew up in Gotham's East End. A tough neighborhood, Slam was a scrapper and boxed Golden Gloves as a teen. After a knee injury ended his boxing career, Slam went into the only profession that would take a lug like himself: a cop.

Starting out as a beat cop, Slam eventually made detective and worked his way through assignments until he became a sergeant with the GCPD's Homicide Bureau. Partnered with Detective James Gordon, Slam and Jim were among the few non-corrupt officers in the GCPD. Fighting against the corrupt department and the everyday bleakness of the job had Slam on the verge of burnout until the case that killed his career came along.

It started out simple enough, a dead hooker found in a back alley. The case began to spin out of control, implicating a state senator, a high-end call girl service, and half of the city's politicians. The brass tried to bump Slam off of the case, but he refused to leave. In the end, he was dismissed from the GCPD on trumped up charges, accused of fraud because of a mislabeled time sheet. Out of a job, Slam took his connections and investigation skills and branched out on his own as a private investigator. When he's not tipping back a bottle, he works as a PI for hire in and around the city.

| Attributes |

No powers. Slam is an adept fighter with boxing and police firearm training. He is also a skilled detective with over twenty years experience in Homicide.

| Character Notes

Instead of being the old square-jawed who is a crusader for truth and justice, I made Slam a more gray character. He's an alcoholic who got burnt out on the job. All his friends and family hate his guts. The thing that stops him from swallowing his gun are the cases and the few people he manages to help. Slam will mostly stay on the fringes of whatever shit is going down in Gotham just to keep from stepping on toes. Since the only real DC character associated with Slam is Catwoman I was going to invent just one or two NPCs as Slam's friends and contacts.

| Character Goals |

I guess my main thing with Slam is I want to just write PI stories. I love the genre and I had fun with the character the last time I played him. I want to keep that going, and I want to continue to showcase the dark underbelly of Gotham that even Batman doesn't go to, or maybe he's not tough enough to go there...

Rejected for never being able to come up with new ideas.

@Morden Man

The character is cold, but at least the ideas are lukewarm.

@Byrd Man

More like he realized he was scheduled to face Ted Grant, so quit the sport like a big sissy rather than face the Wildcat. Do the bio right Byrd, or don't do it at all.

[Eru Iluvatar]

I urge you all to give me a welcome back, even though I didn't go anywhere and I've just been lazy. Also give me an update on what happened in the last twelve pages of the OOC, except don't, because I don't care.

@BlackSam3091

We can always say the two laced up a time or two if you wish, can't remember how old Ted is in this game but Slam is early to mid 40's.

@Byrd Man

Ted's about that age, grew up in Gotham, and had a similar background. Makes sense that they crossed paths.

[FacePunch]

I feel so loved.

Lex CS and Hellboy posts will be up tomorrow.

Woahhh... Way to spoil the surprise.

@Gowi - Sorry, I think I'm going to back out of this. Ruby is too busy to reply and I don't really feel the motivation to run the character without that. Nothing personal - you guys always ran awesome comic book role-plays, just feeling other stuff in my life right now. Best of luck!
