Gotham Knights - City On Fire

Batman and his allies rescued Batgirl from the clutches of Bane. After it was decided the dead Robins couldn't be saved, Slade Wilson revealed himself to be his body-jumping son Jericho and offered to help Batman save one of the Robins. When taking on Bane, Jericho agreed to help the League of Assassins in rescuing Nyssa Al Ghul who was also being held against her will like Batgirl and Deathstroke's daughter. However, Nyssa was dead when they arrived on the scene. Deathstroke was transported across the country with a dead goon of Bane's to make it look like he'd blacked out during a mission in Coast City. However the League of Assassins will be looking for him, despite him not knowing where he had been the last two months.

Jericho, now in the body of Richard Grayson and still using the Skeleton Jack alias, helps others defend Gotham while Bruce is away [likely looking for a way to save the boys]. Batman put Batwoman in command after she was such a help rescuing Barbara Gordon. He also gave the would be vigilante group an HQ of their own hidden in plain sight in Historic Gotham.

Can the team save Gotham when a group of criminals using Firefly tech decide to burn the city to the ground? What motivates the new Fireflies and why are they targeting specific buildings across town? Will Batman have any allies still standing when he returns from his trip over seas?

_____________________________Wrath of Bane________________________________

It was unlike any other night in Gotham City. It had been four days since Bane murdered the Robins. At least twenty-four hours since the behemoth captured Batgirl. At Batman's request, Batwoman and Batwing gathered most of the group. Some required payment. One in particular came to Batman himself. Jack liked to keep a low profile, but somehow he let on that he knew something was up and offered to aid Batman. Clearly Skeleton Jack had an agenda of his own, but what that agenda was Batman didn't have the time to think about. In their meeting on the rooftops of Gotham weeks earlier, Batman picked up specific moves tied to the training of a League of Assassins member. Jack, like the others, was instructed to meet at an abandoned warehouse purchased by Wayne Industries some three years prior.

"C'mon Batman... make your move." Jack thought as Batman explained the situation.

"Half of you will join Batwoman in a search and rescue mission. That psycho has got Batgirl somewhere in the city, we just need to find out where. Take down any of Bane's goons or anyone pushing that Venom drug, get whatever info you can out of them. The rest of you will join Batwing in combing Gotham for any other Venom junkies or dealers that may know of Bane's location. Keep your eyes open for a hunting knife should you come into contact with Bane. It is vital that we retrieve this blade as well...." Batman said pausing for a moment.

"... understand that we may have to take Bane down. For good. It's why I didn't just call the Justice League."

"Its about time you grew a pair, Bats." Jack taunted as the rest looked on.

"If anybody sees Jack breaking more than just fingers, hands, and arms... take HIM down. I'm not giving you a license to break the backs of petty criminals... JUST Bane." Batman continued.

"One of these days, Bats, we'll see who the better man is. If I had a sword or a gun I'd take down half these amateurs right now. I just have to find Bane and where he's keeping the girls..." Jack thought, not even bothering to try and look scarier to the gathered bunch.

Elsewhere...

Bane walks down a hallway with several rooms. Cells rather, for a few prisoners of his. One is of course Batgirl, the other two females? One had light blond hair, almost white... the other a brunette with a Mediterranean look to her. One was clearly older than the other two.

"When the League finds out about this.... Batman won't know which way to turn... HA HA HAHAAA HA!" Bane laughed looking at the three females without his mask on.

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

I'll try and get it hammered out today. Was wondering if @Nightwing95 was gonna finish/repost his Batwing CS...

<Snipped quote by The Kid Lantern>

Bat-Plane sounds horrible.

@Burning Kitty

So does Bat-Boat, Batarang, Bat-Shark Repellent, Bat-Goggles, Bat-Cuffs, etc. I just roll with it.

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

@Burning Kitty The Bat-Plane. And sure, your car could fly. After a few Venom junkies throw cars at it in the sky... idk LOL

~KL~

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

Batman's recruiting everyone. If he's in it for $$$, Batman will likely give it to him.

~KL~

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

How exactly will we be starting the story?
@The Kid Lantern

@Skinner35

With @unknown100 and @Nightwing95 using Batwoman and Batwing I may have Batman get those two to gather the group off screen to meet in an old Wayne Industries warehouse or something. Batman will split the group into two teams and then it's balls to the wall. Half of us will be kicking Bane's goons' asses and looking for Batgirl while the other group is busting heads and trying to get a bead on Bane.

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

@Weird Tales We're full right now, and I've already accepted more players than I originally set out to. If there's any early drop-outs I could bring you in. At first glance it's a nice character sheet.

I would've noticed it eventually LOL.

Name: Jericho, aka Mark Winston [formerly in the body of Slade Wilson, presently in the body of Richard Grayson]
Alias: Skeleton Jack
Age:Early 20's
Powers/Skills:

heightened physical attributes - conditioned in gymnastics all of his life have made him near superhumanly agile, moreso than even Batman. His strength, speed, and stamina are on par with Olympic level athletes. Grayson is easily the fastest and most agile of the Bat-family.

marksmanship - skilled marksman with projectiles and guns.

hand-to-hand - trained in several styles of fighting by Bruce Wayne as well as some of the same teachers Bruce had.

tracking - while not as good as Batman, he used his skills as a detective in Bludhaven for a time on their police force.

stealth - knows how to use the shadows and misdirection to his advantage.

Equipment:

His fists, lockpicks and blades stashed in his boots and gloves, his helmet, as well as an old crowbar he found in the Bat-Cave.

Weaknesses:

He's just a normal guy in light body armor with heightened physicals. He can still be stabbed or shot, and is as human as anybody in this regard.

Experience: Jericho has been an active body jumper for years, but recently lost his body. Grayson had at least 8 years experience working with Batman, and another five years training with his parents the Flying Graysons.

Alignment: hero/vigilante

Personality: kind hearted, loyal, brave, calculating, stubborn

Appearance: [pic or description]



BRIEF Bio:

Skeleton Jack has recently been revealed as an alias of Jericho, former Teen Titan and body jumper. He first began using the alias when in the body of his father Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke. On the trail of Bane who had kidnapped his sister Rose, Jericho unknowingly accepted the task of also saving Nyssa Al Ghul from Bane from members of the League of Assassins. When Nyssa was found dead, Batman agreed to help Jericho put Slade on the other side of the US and in return Jericho jumped into the dead body of Richard Grayson before it was too late to possess the body.

Batman is now travelling outside of Gotham to find a way to bring back the other two boys he had to bury. Damian and Jason are gone, but he hasn't forgotten.

As Mark Winston, Jericho works a part time day job delivering materials, files, and paperwork for Wayne Industries in Gotham, as well as several of the company's manufacturing plants located in Industrial Park in Gotham.

How did you meet Batman: Batman had met Jericho during his days as a Teen Titan under the leadership of Nightwing.

Notes: My character's secret ID will eventually come back to haunt him. When Slade finds out about what his kid did he's gonna have some choice words for him. Once the healing powers of Jericho completely heal Grayson, when he exits the body Richard should come back to life. But who would Jericho go into next?
