Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead. It happened. It will never happen again.

On a different Earth, a different universe, the twelve gods lived out their lives as musical geniuses of the 2010s. Each of them had millions of beloved fans. Each of them was loved and hated. And each of them only had two years until death. But something changed. There was a thirteenth god in their presence, which set off a chain of events that revealed a long-hidden secret.

BATMAN
Archie Goodwin International Airport
0.00 // A Bitter Sweet Reunion

Six years ago, Bruce Wayne bid farewell to his friends and family before departing his hometown to see the world. To find himself away from the place that changed his life forever. In secret, he spent those years learning everything required to uphold his promise. Boxing with the world-famous Wildcat in Boston, acrobatics at a circus in Cologne, intimidation and interrogation from former Spetsnaz agents at Norilsk, and plenty of other useful skills learned across the world. It wasn't cheap nor painless, but he appreciated every single one of his teachers. There was more to learn, but the life-changing experience in the caves of New Mexico opened his eyes to something possible.

Upon setting foot on the epoxy flooring of the lavish airport, Wayne saw how much it had changed since he left it years ago. It got an expensive makeover along with a new terminal facility and runway thanks to donations from infamous Carmine Falcone. Almost everyone knew that he was Don of the Falcone Crime Family, but it was clear that the politicians and police were in his pocket. Wayne approached a massive fountain, inspired by the Fontana del Tritone in Rome, and read the plaque:

THE FOUNTAIN OF GOTHAM
Donated by the Falcone Family in honor of Gotham City's rich history.
Any coins generously thrown will go support Gotham General Hospital.

Wayne reached into his pocket, pulled out a quarter, and flicked it at the fountain. Then, he made his way outside and saw Gotham's skyline for the first time in years. There were several skyscrapers still unfinished in various stages of completion, just like it was years ago. Mayor Hill and the city council talked about having Gotham City's skyline rival Metropolis' or even New York City's. Of course, it was all nonsense because the project cost billions. But, it seemed that the same family is helping to make that dream a reality (along with a few other wealthy families and individuals). Even with the touch-up, it was meant to cover up the city's ugly truth.

And all someone had to do was drive beyond the tourist attractions.

"Did you say Park Row?" the taxi driver asked Wayne.

"Yeah... The Community Clinic." Wayne answered while watching the driver's reaction through the rearview mirror. It was clear that he was nervous and scared about traveling there. Nevertheless, the driver didn't say anything and kept on driving. There was reason to fear Park Row that Wayne couldn't even dismiss. It was filled with criminals and became a hotbed of crimes ranging from robbery to murder. The clinic was always filled with patients that sought aid and safety without judgment. It was one of the few remaining reminders of its past before... that night.

The taxi driver stopped in front of the clinic and unlocked only Wayne's door. He exited out of the cab and went to pay the driver. Wayne tried to thank the driver, but he already sped off. He didn't blame the driver for wanting to leave. After all, he was terrified of going to Park Row and being robbed at knifepoint. The truth was that nobody was going to bother robbing a tax driver, but the lie was still being spread by the police, politicians, and the media. Interested in seeing his surrogate family, Wayne made his way inside the clinic.

Once inside, Wayne noticed the people waiting for their names to be called. It wasn't crowded as usual on a weekday, which was either a good or bad sign. Immediately, a familiar voice called out his name. "Bruce?!"

It was Marva Cooper still working at the garage based on the grease stains on her overalls. She gave him a tight hug before asking, "What the hell are you doing back?!"

"Got tired of exploring the world." Wayne answered sarcastically and then noticed that she was at the clinic. "What are you doing here?"

"Just waiting for my dad to finish up with his appointment. Nothing serious, just a routine checkup ordered by Leslie herself." Cooper sat back down and waited for Wayne to sit next to her. She noticed that he had something on his mind and decided to say something. "Hey, are you alright?"

"I... Actually, I have a favor to ask you and your father."

"Yeah, what is-" Before she could finish, the door opened for Earl Cooper as he was walking out with Dr. Leslie Thompkins behind him. They were in the middle of talking when Thompkins noticed Wayne, sitting there. She didn't believe it at first. But, it was a huge relief to know that he was alive after not writing back for a few weeks. Bruce got up and hugged her before she could've started crying her eyes out. Earl, meanwhile, walked over to his daughter and placed his hand on her shoulder. Both of them watched Wayne and Thompkins having a touching reunion.


Of course, with Bruce Wayne finally home, there was reason for a reunion dinner. Thompkins insisted on it and invited the Coopers over despite Wayne's objections. But, there was no point in arguing with her. She

BATMAN

"Your day of reckoning has arrived."
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T
Given the clean slate of Batman, I wanted to try something different compared to the other versions of the bat. It's that Gotham is more corrupt than it ever has been thanks to the wealthy families living in the Palisades. The GCPD, led by Commissioner Loeb, has become the second most corrupt police force in the nation with their record high cases of police brutality and rumored connections with the crime families. And Mayor Hill does whatever he can to make the rich richer and poor poorer. With folks, like Jim Gordon and Michael Akins, getting punished for attempting to fix the problem. It seems like the citizens have lost hope.

But, one man plans on solving Gotham's problems: Bruce Wayne.

After losing both of his parents, Bruce was placed under the care of Alfred Pennyworth and Leslie Thompkins. Both his caretakers tried to hold onto the wealth amassed by his parents before the city took it all. Wayne Manor was left abandoned while Wayne Enterprises was left in limbo until the Cobblepots entered the picture. There wasn't much Alfred could do to stop the city from stripping apart what the Waynes built. Leslie, a close friend to the Waynes, offered them a place to her home. Still mourning for his parents, Bruce made a graveside promise that he would avenge his parents' deaths.

Bruce sent his later youth and teenage years training whenever possible. He was active in several clubs at his school, helped Leslie and Alfred at the clinic, and worked as a mechanic with Earl and Marva Cooper. Once he was done with high school, Wayne gathered his savings and announced that he was leaving Gotham to travel around the world. He didn't know how long it would take, but it was something that he needed to do. With his foster parents' blessing, Wayne departed and spent six years moving around and learning so much.

During his travels, one memory reminded in his mind upon returning to Gotham. During his time in New Mexico, he learned survival skills when he got lost and suborned upon a cave. But once he entered the cave, it became clear that he was lost. It felt like he had walked for hours until he found sunlight. When he started running towards it, bats were awakened and began attacking. At first, Bruce was terrified of them and tried fighting back. It didn't work. But it wasn't until remembering the lesson about maintaining fear that he was able to escape.

Besides the numerous bite marks and the medical bill, Bruce remembered how terrifying the bats were. And he wondered if it was possible to use that terror to his advantage, especially with Gotham's current state. Police corruption is at an all-time high with stories of their brutality being heard across the nation. Bruce understood that nobody was going to do anything to stop it. So he decided to do something.

Look, I am going to be honest. I despise rich folks, especially billionaires, for various reasons (capitalism). So, I am going to write Gotham City as its truly meant to be written: a cesspool of greedy wealthy people that brought out the city. The City Council, filled with the same folks, maintains the status quo while avoiding pleads for meaningful change. And the current commissioner makes sure the police department protects the rich while punishing the poor severely. There's no way someone could make it to the top of the social ladder without getting their hands dirty. Money absolutely corrupts.

Bruce Wayne never grew up as Gotham City's wealthiest since the city took it from him. He had to live in the shadow of Gotham's skyscrapers along with everyone else. It was filled with struggle, but his custodial parents did everything to give him a good youth. Yet, Bruce still struggles with his inner demons. He wants to uphold his promise, but at what cost? That will be the question that he has to find out.

CATWOMAN

"Witty Quote"

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T
Gotham City. Home to the most corrupt officers and officials in the country. But that corruption earned them a ton of wealth. And those bastards loved to flaunt their wealth around the broken, the beaten, and the damned. It's the perfect opportunity to steal back what was taken. Selina Kyle was one of the first to dare dive into the pile of dirty money. She was a Gothamite born into tragedy. When she was only a girl, her mother committed suicide as the last-ditch effect to escape her abusive husband. A few months later, her father drank himself to death. The state decided to send Selina to the Sprang Hall Juvenile Detention Center, a known abusive state home for orphaned or delinquent girls.

When she was old enough, Selina ran away for the statehouse and found herself on the outskirts of Gotham City. After walking for a bit, she stumbled upon a carnival and decided to have her luck at pickpocketing the crowd. Eventually, she tried too hard at the carnival owner and begged him to not call the police. He immediately noticed her potential and made her an offer: Join his carnival or get arrested. She accepted the offer. Admittedly, Selina did have a fun time at the carnival and learned so many useful tricks. Contortionism, gymnastics, trickery, and persuasion. Just to name a few.

More importantly, she mastered pickpocketing by practicing on unexpected crowds.

Sadly, the owner suffered a heart attack and died shortly after. Selina, with nowhere else to go, returned to Gotham City and moved into an apartment on East End. As money was running short, she found work at a strip club in the area to pay rent. That was when she met the owner of the club, Stan. It turned out that he was a known abusive pimp. He took a liking to her, but she wasn't interested whatsoever. So when his first attempt was rejected, he threatened her and punched her in the face. That made her go to the local boxing gym to learn some fighting moves.

A few weeks after the abuse, Stan sent a catsuit as an apology gift. Selina didn't forgive him but kept the suit. Then, she had an idea: wear the suit and steal from Stan. No doubt it was a risky move, but he was rich compared to her. It was where she discovered something truly sinister. Several GCPD officers were working with Stan, along with other pimps and even crime families, to run brothels and beauty parlors. Selina knew that she had to do something and rushed over to Stan's place for answers.

SON OF ZOD

"When I was young, my parents told me to hide my 'gift from God.' If it's truly a gift, he has a sick sense of humor."
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T
Hernan Guerra was different. His mother and father knew something that he didn't about him. So, one day he asked them about his childhood. At first, his parents tried their best to provide a satisfying answer. But it wasn't enough. Then, he went to his sister for answers, but she clearly lying to him (badly). Frustrated, Hernan confronted his parents again and demanded an explanation. His father tried to calm him and it made things worst instead. In a fit of rage, Hernan stomped hard enough to leave a crater beneath him. It was also when he noticed that he was floating above the ground. He was scared.

Until his parents managed to calm him down. That was the first time that Hernan demonstrated a super-powered ability and it wasn't the last. Knowing that the lying was going to only hurt now, his parents told him of everything (with his sister present). It was on the night of their journey to the United States for a better opportunity. They saw something blight from the sky and hid behind some rocks, assuming it was the Border Patrol. Instead, it was something that crashed in front of them. Both of them investigated and discovered it was a rocket, containing Hernan inside. Before they could react, the authorities were making their way towards the scene. They took him and escaped before they were caught.

After being told the truth, Hernan was relieved and disturbed at the same time. And all he could do was hug his adopted parents.

As Hernan developed more strange abilities, his parents pressured him to hide them. He argued with them for a while before going behind their backs. It started with blowing away the chemicals from the crop dusters. Then, it got bolder. Completing the harvest on his own in one night once in a while. Eventually, he was caught. It happened during lunch at his high school. One of the racists was bullying Hernan, trying to egg him on. Of course, he did his best to avoid it. Until his sister got targeted and shoved to the ground. In a matter of seconds, the bully was on the ground with a broken arm. He tried to help his sister up, but everyone saw what happened. And it was so much that he ran home and hid for several hours.

His mother found him and comforted him as the authorities arrived at their home. Both of his parents were taken away by ICE, leaving him and his sister alone. Hernan wanted to save them, but his sister begged him to stay afraid that something could happen to him. So he did and it broke him. He remained on the farm until the guilt was too much to bear. Hernan left to find purpose in his life without saying anything to his sister. And with two years passed by, he watched as the American Dream was falling apart happily. Then, he heard about the latest ICE raids in the area that resulted in dozens detained, awaiting deportation.

That was when Hernan knew what he had to do.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
He's the backup character. On a serious note, I want to be able to vent in the midst of a global pandemic and a historical movement. I am in a household where it isn't the best so I can't talk to them about it. And besides writing in my journal, this is the best thing to do. In terms of Hernan, he doesn't know about his true family nor that his father was General Zod. And I don't have plans on clashing with Superman anytime soon (unless Wraith wants that to happen, idk). This season will deal with him, trying to become a hero (well, a hero that goes and happily stands against the American government).

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
He's a lone wolf. But I do have plans on him meeting with Virtue, Tremor, Anarky, and Bunker.

GREEN ARROW

"Witty Quote"

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T
Oliver Queen, the heir to Queen Industries, used to be a spoiled rich brat that lacked empathy towards others. His parent's death at the hands of poachers during a safari trip started his downfall. It didn't help that his uncle was a well-known socialite that dragged Oliver to his parties often. That was where he was introduced to alcohol during his junior year of high school. Everyone around knew that Oliver was going to end up like his uncle. Until he boarded a private jet, to celebrate his twenty-first birthday, and vanished over the ocean.

The jet lost power in its engine and crash-landed on the island, killing most of the passages upon impact. Oliver survived with a few cuts and bruises discovered that his bow (gifted by his father and often used as a party trick) remained intact. He was forced to use it on a wild boar, who was about to attack Sandra Hawke, his girlfriend at the time. Upon meeting with the remaining survivors, Oliver realized that they were stranded with no idea of when, and if, help was coming.

In his time stranded, Oliver developed his skills as a hunter to survive and gained mastery over his bow. It forced him to reflect on his privileged life, making him self-reliant and humble. And trying to keep the other survivors alive made him understand and value others besides himself. It took a year before rescue crews found and brought them back to Star City. Upon his return, Oliver wanted answers behind the jet's sudden malfunction and it lead to his uncle. He was motivated by greed and the desire for power to sabotage the jet, hoping it would kill his nephew. It was also discovered that Queen Industries began selling illegal weaponry under the table to other countries and companies.

When Oliver found out, he wanted to bring him and his friends to justice. However, he needed a disguise to protect his identity for his uncle. It was when he remembered his childhood hero, Robin Hood, and based his costume on him. Using all of the skills that he learned on the island, Oliver was able to fight and apprehend them before the police showed up. But instead of going trial, his uncle was found dead in his cell. The police report said that he hung himself, but Oliver didn't believe it. He understood that his uncle and SCPD were working together, but he needed to dig deeper.
