Current After the mess that 2016 has been for me I'm cautiously dipping my toe back into the waters now that the dust has somewhat settled. To previous partners: hit me up if you wanted to continue RPs.

The Demon's Head | Talia al Ghul | Assassin


Name: Talia al Ghul

Age: Mid 30's

Aliases: Talia Head, Miranda Tate, Daughter of the Demon, Talia Demon, The Demon's Head, Kali, Tiamat, Medusa, Red Queen, Mother of Skeletons



Skills/Abilities: Genius Level Intellect | Business Management | Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced) | Marksmanship | Swordsmanship

Talia is a regular human with no superpowers. She is in peak physical form, on par with Bruce and other elite heroes from Gotham. Due to her training, Talia is a master of both armed and unarmed combat. Her weapons knowledge extends from simple weapons to advanced modern weapons. She is also a master tactician, which has been necessary in her dealings in crime and espionage. These skills also transfer well to her being adept at seduction. She has also shown exceptional strategic ability, proven by her proficiency in commanding the complex and multi-faceted crime empire established by her father Ra's al Ghul.

Weaknesses: Loyal to a fault | Impulsive | Arrogant | Immensely protective of her son, Damian | More vulnerable than she lets on



History: Talia is the daughter of Ra's al Ghul, serving as his closest advisor during his time as the leader of the League of Assassins. Though she has often been used as a tool or weapon for her father's schemes she is nevertheless a highly intelligent and capable fighter and strategist in her own right. Her achievements and capabilities were often overlooked by Ra's, seen as less admirable because of her gender. Despite Ra's lack of affection and respect toward Talia she was unfailingly loyal to him, a product of her training within the League since she was a child. Just the same, Ra's never considered Talia to be a worthy heir, thinking of her as simply a means to an end in achieving a male who might inherit his empire. He targeted Batman, considering the world's greatest detective to be the ideal heir to the al Ghul legacy, and commanded Talia to capture his attention. Ra's plan backfired, however, and while Talia was successful at seducing Batman she also found herself attracted to him. As their affection toward one another grew the conflicting nature of their paths would become an increasingly troublesome problem. Talia and Bruce would turn out to be star-crossed lovers, as her loyalty to Ra's and her love of Bruce often found her at odds with herself. Matters only became more complicated when Talia discovered she was pregnant, and Bruce nearly died trying to protect her. Realizing she would only endanger the man she loved, Talia feigned a miscarriage and ended her tumultuous relationship with Bruce.

Nine years pass and Talia now has a son with hair as black as pitch and icy blue eyes, the spitting image of his father. She has named him Damian. Ra's has seized control of the boy's life, grooming him to be a killer, a leader, and a conquerer. Talia's contact with her own son is limited, and Ra's feels her judgement as a mother and a woman compromises her ability to tolerate what he considers necessary cruelty in training Damian. Talia wanted nothing more than for Damian to receive the love Ra's had never shown her and that she felt incapable of giving him. She also desired for her son to be free of the influence of the League so that he might retain some semblance of the humanity her own father had denied her. Impulsively, she secreted Damian away and took him to the only man she trusted to keep him safe: Bruce Wayne.

Another two years pass, and Talia has inherited leadership of the League of Assassins after her father's sudden and inexplicable disappearance. While in service as the head of the League she has redirected the objective of the empire, both in the use of her assassins as well as cultivating alternative uses for the many Lazarus Pits Ra's had discovered. Her son, Damian, has been living with his father and has informed her that Bruce has been missing. She returns to Gotham with the League in tow, taking up headquarters in the highly reinforced Nykawa Center. While her primary concern is to stay close to Damian and see to his safety, she's also attempting to mine her resources to decipher details on the possible whereabouts of the Batman. Simultaneously, Talia is orchestrating secret experiments to develop a Lazarus Serum, an advanced healing and anti-aging treatment derived from diluted samples taken from the Lazarus Pits. There's just the matter of eliminating the pesky side-effect of insanity afflicting the human test subjects before making the serum available for purchase to the highest bidder. And in a city like Gotham such an item falling into the hands of the wrong person could prove very dangerous.
So it's after 4am and I'm sure some of this will have to be touched up but for now, here's the CS for Talia

This game oughta be re-named Shadow of the Robin(s) with all the Robins running about, like.....>.>
SHHHHHH

don't make me sympathize with Damian because I love characters like that who hide behind stereotypes and tropes to make them seem more 2-D than they actually are so people don't actually see their actual vulnerabilities and underestimate their capacity to feel something other than what their front dictates. Aaaah


I mean....his secretly-hiding-a-caring-heart-behind-a-facade-of-toughness would be something inherited from both his parents, in my opinion >.>

Holy shit he's like Kylo Ren trying so damn hard to be a badass Sith but he's really just a mushy Light-sider
@Dblade26

Definitely, I play Talia at every available opportunity and my favorite aspect of writing her is to highlight her humanity alongside her almost super-human intellect and skill. I haaaaaaate that New 52 pitted her against Damian, because historically she's always been incredibly loyal to a fault to the people she loves. Hell, her entire struggle of her loyalty to Ra's vs. her love of Bruce is a defining part of who she is as a character and I could never see someone like that trying to kill their only child. #reasonsIhateNew52

Anywho, I could go on a tangent for days but let's get back to bidniz. Toss me some ideas you had for Damian and I'll let you know if I think anything might need tweaking, I suppose?
@Dblade26

I'm still working on Talia's CS at the moment but my basic premise in regards to Damian is that Talia handed him over to Bruce both for his protection (from those who would attempt to manipulate him more than harm him) and so that his upbringing could be better than hers (i.e. getting him away from the League). She isn't a complete ghost in his life though, always keeping tabs on him and intervening when necessary if his life is at stake. Damian would also know how to contact her if necessary and that he is always always welcome. Due to her own lack of nurturing and affection as a child she is not the most doting mother, but she also knows Damian is highly capable and does love him. She's fiercely protective of him, to the point that he is probably her greatest weakness. Depending on which direction you were wanting to go with Damian we can flesh out details of his childhood with Talia/the League a little more.
I love Tim too, but now that they've gotten past the almost killing thing I like to think they have a brotherly pseudo-affection for one another >.>
I mean, no pressure.... fortheloveofgodsomeonepleaseplaymysassymofoson
He's a sassy little fuck and that is my favorite thing
Plus if I can get Steph as my secondary later in the game I desperately want a Damian to banter with
I feel like I'm the only person who loves Damian, but I maaaaay have a little bias
