Gotham City: Shadow of the Bat

and take the easy way out? Nah.

Gotham City: Shadow of the Bat

Poor Robins, killed before their time.

...I do tend to try 'find some way to make Damian a sympathetic/not-entirely-hateable character as a consistent personal challenge in Gotham/Batman RPs usually, but I don't feel like working to my own cliches.

Gotham City: Shadow of the Bat

@Ruby

Hey Ruby! It's been a long time! I enjoyed playing with you in that one Gotham RP from way back even if it all devolved into a mess so I was thinking of joining up for this!

I was considering playing Richard Dragon as having retired from spy work to run a small martial arts school in Gotham teaching self-defense and martial arts for underpriviledged kids while trying to keep his little corner of the city safe with Batman's disappearance, maybe getting involved in the wider storylines as well?

I also have some OC ideas, but they mostly involve a reluctant but talented child or teen assassin being used by whatever faction would be appropriate and interacting with the other cast members along the way and being potentially changed by them or...well I have a couple different plot ideas for that.

That or maybe a hard-boiled detective type or journalist investigating Nykawa and other stuff going on in the wake of Batman's disappearance?

I have some other stuff if none of that appeals or slots are already taken for characters similar to that

Gilgamesh Sinn

Archetype: Evil Genius

Name: Gilgamesh "Gil" Sinn

Alias: usually none

Age: 29

Powers: Gil has no superhuman powers or abilities, instead a prodigious intellect applicable to numerous fields, razor sharp wits and the immense resources and technology of the Sinn Corporation are his source of power. That said he's surprisingly physically fit and well-versed in martial arts on a technical level compared to the average businessman, but more for purposes of basic self-defense from a few kidnapping attempts over the years than as a serious warrior. In addition As someone who grew up around munitions makers and began his business and academic lives with weaponry he's incredibly knowledgable regarding a wide variety of modern and cutting edge weapons and he tries to remain fairly proficient in their use, though he generally disdains direct violence. Of note however is the fact that nearly his entire wardrobe of custom tailored suits is manufactured from cutting edge nanoweave fabrics resistant to burns, shocks and small arms fire.

Weaknesses: Gil remains a mortal man as physically vulnerable as any other. Also at least from his perspective he considers his affection for his elderly parents to be somewhat of a weakness his enemies might exploit.

Alignment: [Villain/Walking the Line]

Personality: Brilliant, Cunning, Ambitious, Driven, Pragmatic

Appearance: Gilgamesh Sinn is generally considered a fairly handsome man of about average height who wears his dark brown hair short with his face clean shaven. Being a practical businessman he generally foregoes glitzy costumes, battle armor or theatrical outfits
and instead usually hides his surprisingly muscular frame under custom tailored suits that somehow manage to whisper 'I cost more money than you'll ever see' instead of screaming 'LOOK AT ME I'M GAUDY AND FLASHY!'. Notable is the fact that he has hetero-chromatic eyes, with one being brown while the other is bright green. He's generally clean shaven and has a crooked sort of smile that usually conveys 'Sure, we both know I'm dishonest, but that's part of the fun isn't it?" when he isn't putting on his most charming facade for the public eye. Overall he believes that a well-groomed and charming appearance and unflappable demeanor are as dangerous as any other weapons on the battleground of public opinion.

BRIEF Bio: Gilgamesh Sinn grew up in a family traditionally in the line of coal mining and munitions factory work, earnest folks who still sometimes barely scraped by from day to day. Inspired to try and build a better future for himself and his family he studied and memorize everything he could possibly learn at first just regarding munitions and weaponry as inspired by his parents but later on about every subject he could get his hands on. He proved to be something of a prodigy throughout his academic career and eventually decided that money was even more powerful than the best weapon he could design and turned his mind to the business world as well.

Now he owns the factory his parents once slaved away in as just a subsidiary of the weapons manufacturing and design branch of the Sinn Corporation, headquartering itself in his hometown of New Athens. The fact that he was able to effortlessly ensure that both of them retired in comfort and luxury and raise pay and safety standards for their former workplace while still managing to increase profits was just a bonus. Already some of the Sin Corporation's inventions whether warlike or meant for everyday utilities are being compared to some of the wonders of the Museum of Tomorrow and Gilgamesh has promised to bring about A Better Tomorrow not just for New Athens but the world.

At least, that's the story he presents to the public and as far as Gil Sinn is concerned it's completely true. The part he generally leaves out of the papers includes building up his wealth as an arms manufacturer by selling discretely to many, many groups of less-than-friendly people, taking over a good portion of New Athens more mundane organized crime indirectly via supplying tactics and weapons to certain gangs of his choosing, engaging in industrial espionage and sabotage against his rivals in the business world, creating some less than ethical technology and experiments and more, all for the sake of his better tomorrow.

Storylines: I basically want him to be scheming and interacting with the other villains and heroes, creating plots of his own to further his control over the city and the world in order to increase his own power and wealth while trying to achieve his vision for New Athens and the world. He might approach a group of heroes to stop a rogue combat robot the Sinn Corporation is developing or come to them asking for protection for himself or his parents, or even offer funding and tech for the heroes to form a super group if it means gaining influence over them. Likewise he might try and make alliances with villians or thwart their schemes in order to maintain his powerbase. Overall I want to provide a villain with vast resources and plans that's also flexible enough to get involved with and interact with a number of story-lines and characters

Notes:

Finally got him down

UNIVERSAL ™ iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

I feel like in the last version we actually had something of an opposite problem where a lot of the villains were very high powered and most of the heroes were just slightly above street level.

UNIVERSAL ™ iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

I'm changing my character to a full villain, was playing with the idea of him being a type of mercenary, but I'll throw that out.

@Dblade26 Would you mind if I used Gil as part of my backstory? If you'd like I can pm you what I had in mind.

@Aro

PM me the details.

UNIVERSAL ™ iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

Yeah, finding the amount of morally grey not to be to my taste either. If I knew we had so many at the time I wouldn't have signed up.

UNIVERSAL ™ iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

I'd rather not talk about it. I just mentioned it in case I'm not around as much as I'd like.

I'm trying to recover from surgery but we'll see about this.

@The Kid Lantern

You know I'm actually considering dropping Doc N to play Gil Sinn fulltime.

Or, as a co-GM if I could manage to play both with Sinn being less sandbox and more of a GMPC that others could ask me to involve in plotlines? I feel like Sinn would let me contribute more fully in a lot of ways to the universe and stories and I have this particular vision for how he could be played, but I LOVE Doc N's personality and powers too?
