[OOC] Welcome To Arkham City

[makarov]

It doesn't matter what you were before, it doesn't matter where you come from or what you've done to get here, all that matters now is that you're here in a twisted hell ruled over by people like The Penguin, Two-face, Bane and Joker. There's no way out weather you were locked in this shithole for your crimes or you chose to be here to protect the ones who don't belong in this place, it doesn't matter either way your stuck here and maybe just maybe if you play your cards right, you can climb your way to the top and rule this prison, Welcome To Arkham City.
------------------------

This role play takes place in Arkham City from the Batman games, however I am going to be very loosely following the real story and thus am allowing you space to make your own story in Arkham City. Weather it's as a vigilante out to protect the people who don't belong here or as a thug who lives for crime and works under one of the big baddies or maybe even a psychopath who has a bright future and might become one of the most feared people in Arkham City, it's up to you. You will be able to move freely in Arkham City and do as you please, I will simply control the world around you depending upon where you go and what you do changes the chances of who you meet and the friends or enemies you make.
---------------------------

RULES:

No one liners, at least do three.

No fighting in the OOC.

The word of the gm and (if appointed), cogm is law. What we say goes.

No flaming or making fun of someone else's characters or posts or ideas.

No autohitting, you must make your attacks fair, obviously there are guns and such but instead of saying you shot them in the head, you would say you aimed and fired at their head.

No godmodding, be realistic about this, if you get wounded by something then don't just shrug it off play it how it goes.

Please put, "no one fears batman anymore." Somewhere in your CS if you read the rules.

The rules are subject to change whenever the GM sees fit.

Post your character sheet in the OOC and await approval before moving it to the characters thread.

Have so much fun!!!

[Irlanda]

^{Clara's Theme}

Name: Clara Diaz

Alias: The Ballerina of Death but mostly The Necromancer.

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Weapons: Using taboo magic to manipulate her blood to make them into solidified knives, spears, and other sharp weapons. Her 5'10" frame is also strong and flexible enough for stealthy acrobatic kills and stuns. She sometimes playfully uses this as a means of affection or endearment, for example, climbing on someone's and having them give her a piggy back ride; it's therapeutic for her and it makes up for her atrocious childhood.

Gear & Gadgets: Although it is not a gadget, Clara relies on clairvoyance through water to see those whose she's made the slightest physical contact with. As for her gear, she is always dressed in long, draping, V-neck dresses of very neutral colors with yoga pants underneath and wears comfortable matching ballet flats to all of her dresses, making her steps almost impossible to hear.

Skills: Acrobatics, necromancy, and limited clairvoyance through water.

Powers/Abilities: ^{(Please see above.)}

History & Personality: A natural empath, mother, and friend, Clara has a heart of gold but an angel from hell for having researched the majority of childhood, teenage years, and early twenties on the dark arts. She was always more intelligently advanced than her peers which made her cold against others, always judging them to be bafoons and ignorant to Arkham's atrocious crimes. Her parents were killed by Clara's ex-fiancee in a rampage when he found out that she had used her necromancy to murder her baby while she was pregnant as he had sexually assaulted her. In revenge, she drained his blood and colored his mansion (he was a famous baseball player and son of a mayor's friend) with his blood even as to murdering the housekeeping crew and escorts who were there. She was immediately caught by the police where she lied down in his California King bed, singing a song in a state of euphoric psychosis.

Fears: Immortality. Because she has broken natural laws, she fears that she will soon become immortal thus making her worry that she will not be able to begin a new life and find a soul mate like she had always wanted to before she met that monster of a man but she was only nineteen and he, thirty-five. Even though she very much belongs in the dark, ironically, she is afraid of dreaming as her dreams are highly lucid and affect her for quite sometime; a consequence of being a magic user.

Likes: People and their histories, their quirks, and what motivates them. The night, the moon, water, and somber music. Reading endlessly and always finding new ways to improve her already novice acrobatic skills; like pilates for the yoga buff.

Dislikes: Authority.

Reason for being in Arkham City: Her family moved here as they were Columbian refugees escaping a bloody civil war; Clara was only nine.

Thank you so much, Makarov!

I'm really happy to hear that you liked Clara and that her history was intriguing for you to read! You made my night with your awesome compliment. Thank you. :)

Even though I'm a day old on this site, I'm online quite often and can be co-GM, if you'd like.

I'll be leaving in the morning tomorrow just to do some errands out of town but will be back. Besides having a busy life sometimes, I'll be active. No need to worry there!

[SayZun]

@makarov So will the GM's control the NPC characters or will it be a mix where we can simulate them realistically?

[makarov]

@SayZun

I was thinking of a mix really...I obviously will control the big baddies...but the thugs and npc guys...free game.

[Tidus]

Name: James Cassidy

Alias: Bloodwing

Age:22

Gender:Male

Weapons: Dual Handguns that convert into a sniper rifle, a pair of lethal Sai.

Gear/Gadgets: His helmet has a HUD that is linked to his armored suit, providing him with a constant update on his physical condition. It also contains an interactive map, assisted targeting, different vision enhancements including thermal, telescopic, and a sort of 'detective vision' similar to Batman. It contains his comm system and has access to a full database of information on Arkham City and its inmates. It of course contains a rebreather as well, with a voice changer to mask his identity. The rest of his Arsenal is similar to Batman's, containing grapnel guns, shuriken of his own design, a type of plastic explosive gel, smoke bombs and the sort. His suit is fitted with bullet resistant plating and shock absorbers to allow him freedom of movement and protection against firearms and close range combat, and it contains a set of wings that extend from his back when activated, allowing him to glide from place to place. Wrist mounted crossbow that fires lethal bolts, sleep darts, explosive bolts, and a wrist mounted blade that he uses as a last defense. His gauntlets are equipped with blade breakers made to counter melee weapons. Lastly, he carries the hacking device often used by the Bat family.

Skills: He has been trained by the best of the best, namely Batman and Lady Shiva. His martial arts skills are honed and lethal, and his speed makes him a deadly opponent. His accuracy with firearms and thrown weapons is that of a professional marksman.

Powers/Abilities: Slightly enhanced perception, agility, and durability due to a type of experimental serum given to him by the League of Assassins.

Personality: analytical, hateful, apathetic. Bloodwing does not follow the strict code that the Bat family does.

History: James always looked up to Batman as his hero. He grew up an orphan in Gotham City, following his exploits and hoping to prove himself one day. The boy learned how to fight, learned how to solve crimes, and learned how to hunt the criminals of the city. He was given his chance one day, proving himself by solving one of the Riddler's puzzles and arriving on the scene before even Batman. There, he assisted him in taking down the hired thugs that attacked them, bringing the Riddler to justice.

James became the new Robin, and held the title for about a year. He was a bit more violent than the others, reminding them of Jason, the late second Robin, at times. He proved his worth at every turn, easily beating the foes that Batman dealt with, including the Joker at times.

That was until his bout with Scarecrow. His toxin overcame James, and in his state he was forced to kill helpless thugs that Crane had captured, recording it and broadcasting the film to all of Gotham. While Batman had known it wasn't his fault, he had no choice but to have James stand down. He was infuriated. He tried for months to convince them to take him back, that people would get over it and forget. Eventually, he quit trying. He bettered himself in preparation for a call he would never get.

He received a call one day from a woman he had saved when in costume years ago. She had come into a fortune after her father 'passed' and wanted to help him. She introduced him to Lady Shiva, whom she had hired specifically to train him. He accepted happily of course, and trained with the assassin for years until he was ready.

Fitted with his new armaments funded by his new ally, and with a new name, Bloodwing descended upon the criminals of Gotham.

Now that Arkham City has opened, he sees a new opportunity to remove the big names of Gotham's underworld from history.

Fears: His identity being discovered.

Likes: Fighting, scouting, interrogation.

Dislikes: The Villains, other vigilantes.

Theme song: In the Air Tonight by Nonpoint (original by Phil Collins)

Reason for being in Arkham City: To bring fear to the criminals within, and to ensure that the big villains don't get comfortable.

Other: No one fears Batman anymore.

ΔŇ¥ΜØŘ€

Name:
Octavius Barrett

Alias:
Ark's Jason

Age:
25-30

Gender:
Male

Weapons:
Machete, Bat with neddles, butchers knife, and suit case full of items to torture who he wants.

Gear/Gadgets:
Wears a gas mask that pumps anesthetic gas within side of the mask. The constant inhalation of the gas has led to Octavius becoming pain resistant.

Skills:
•Pain Resistance
•Athletic
•Has a basic grasp of hand to hand combat

Powers/Abilities:
Well its not an ability but you could call it the Jason Voorhees effect. It seems Octavius can't die but can be slowed down. Maybe he's a zombie....or a demon out for blood or he could have an odd power to regenerate his body parts. Who knows he could just be an average psychopath...

Personality:
At first silent, stalker type of creep that likes to follow his prey to the ends of the earth until he follows that prey into a dark alley. After that he's a psychopathic basket case who gets a kick out of torture and slowly ripping his volunteers apart. Killing his all the rsge with the teenagers these days so he stays hip and kill for fun. Its all a unrealistic game to him. Don't expect him to say much the most you'll get is a sentence or two or a crackled laugh.

History:
Octavius grew up in the worst surroundings a kid his age could grow up in. His sponge of a brain sucked in his surroundings and treated it as the normal reality of the world. When he got older there was no doubt he was already up to commuting crime and every time barely getting away. Is life was supposably grand and amazing...until a bust happened and he was finally arrested. Noticing the trama and stuff he went through the judge decided to put him I'm a mental hospital which seemed as a great idea until he was actually brought there. His care taker at this undercover asylum was a crazy woman who tortured poor Octavius ever chance she got. It escalated so badly that she stabbed the defenseless boy in the eye definitely blinding him. He could take the sheer pain anymore the stuff she was doing should of killed him but he wouldn't die. No one at the asylum cared cause he was an ex criminal. Then one fateful night when everyone went home his care taker had the night shift. The cameras were off in order for her to have her fun. She entered his cold chamber and beat the living shit out of Octavius with a hammer. That's when his grip on reality gave up on this world and turned to a more.....'relaxed' world. The chains decorated with spikes and sharp needless weren't painful anymore. The hammer that once slowly crushed his skull tickled his body. The once bitch who tortured his being now ripped limp from limp and who blood was painted all on the walls of his chamber. Her mistake was letting him free to enjoy herself even more. So she killed herself once you think about it. The now free Octavius broke free and heard of a place he could call home, Arkham City.

Fears:
Being ignored
This doesn't seem like a big deal but trust me when someone starts viciously stabbing them self just to get attention there's a problem.

Likes:
Attention of course, blood, screams of his victims and the sounds of broken bones.

Dislikes:
•killing childern
•Self Righteous people
•Someone who acts like they're more important than others
•Hero's

Theme song:
Am I a Psycho by B.o.B

Reason for being in Arkham City:
To have a place to call home.

Other:
Octavius is 6'3" and always wears his gas mask. His left eye which has healed is now white.
