I made Rose Wilson into a Batgirl who can and will use lethal force. Think we're good there.
Sorry it's taking me so long to write the details for the Birds of Prey. It's hard to get in front of a computer, when you are on vacation in Greece and your friend wants to go sightseeing.
@Unknown100 What are your plans for the Birds of Prey and would you be okay with a Batgirl joining the team?
I'll cook up a more fulfilling post when I get the chance. But it's great you want to join the team. But as you know they are a bit more extreme than usual (but also still trying to figure out this whole thing). I'll get back to you.

BRIEF Bio:
Kate had always been a fighter, and there was no question she would follow in her father’s footsteps and join the military, as soon as she came of age. Serving her country was the way to go. All the yelling and strict discipline made her feel right at home, yet she never lost her sense of humor. Life was good and hiding your sexuality wasn’t so bad, when your body was busy doing push-ups.
Then came war…
The first friend Kate ever lost was to a roadside bomb. In 1 second an inferno of fire changed everything, and the feeling of helplessness crept in. Lying with her friend’s blood smeared all over her, Kate realized she wasn’t enough. She had been too laid back. Resting on her talents instead of pushing her limits to the breaking point. She had hidden the fact that she was a lesbian, but no more.
The following years, wars and conflicts hardened Kate more than any man around her. Soon she yelled commands instead of taking them, as she charged into the heart of battle. She never kept track of her medals only her spare time. Vacations meant exploring distant martial arts and mastering new kinds of weaponry. A little incident with an officer, Renee Montoya, blossomed into a relationship. However, that’s also what opened Kate's eyes to the rotten core of Gotham City. Was this really the home she fought so hard to protect? The place her teammates kept dying for? Kate had been fighting on the wrong battlefield.
Only her father could possibly understand. She told him everything, and he told her the solution. He supplied her with weapons, gadgets and a suit that was years beyond any prototype the military was playing around with. And he demanded only one thing: She never questioned where he’d gotten it from. After a few modifications, she donned the symbol of the Bat, as it already instilled fear in the hearts of criminals. But her brutality and means left her unsuitable for the Bat family. Batwoman simply came a bit too close to killing on multiple occasions. Plus a disagreement with the GCPD got a few SWAT office rushed to the hospital.
A few years later true tragedy struck in the city. One night the Joker entered Commissioner Gordon’s apartment. Shot his daughter, Barbara, and tormented him. Though the old man came out sane, Barbara would never walk again, which left her bitter beyond words. No longer could she dream of joining Batman's caped crusade. She secluded herself until one night a certain Batwoman came knocking. She showed her more efficient means were necessary when dealing with super criminals. Barbara had put her trust in the wrong place. They would need to relentlessly carve their way through crime for Gotham to be free. Fueled by hatred, Barbara became Oracle and alongside Batwoman they formed The Birds of Prey. With the crossbow-wielding Huntress and gun-wielding Lady Blackhawk they made sure not to shy away from using weapons. Lots and lots of weapons. After all, bullets fly faster than batarangs… Still, when pulling a trigger, killing sure became harder to avoid.
Story Arcs:
It’s not easy when it’s Green – Batwoman’s own father is running private military operations against gangsters, government, Kryptonians and whoever gets in his way. Recently he has acquired a heavy piece of Kryptonite and plan to weaponize and use it’s potential to make sure no one will stand in his way. (Solo)
Curiosity killed the cat – An alarming amount of top criminals are all chasing a new Catwoman. The cat burglar seem to have in her possession something that can level buildings and much, much more, and it’s up to Batwoman, the Birds of Prey, and whoever they can convince to help them, to get to Catwoman first. (Team-up)
Penguin Returns – Years of ridicule have resulted in people simply no taking the Penguin serious. Meaning everybody have let their guard down when dealing with him. 3 years after his disappearance he has returned to Gotham to do just one thing: kill Cops and display them, all with their hands and feet gnawed off. With the help of Deathstroke, Bronze Tiger and Lady Shiva he’s there to wage war, and what Gotham needs, to counter this, is a soldier and her team. (Team-up)
Supporting Characters: - Birds of Prey: Oracle, Lady BlackHawk, Huntress - Kate's girlfriend, officer Renee Montoya
Secondary Character: Princess Diana of Themyscira, the Goddess of War
Additional Notes: In many ways my character is a lost soul, and she has a tendency to drag other people down with her, like she's kinda done with Barbara. Keeping the girl from healing. My character will have a bit of a reputation being a stubborn bitch, as well as having put all but two members of the Falcone Crime Family in body casts.
These folks are also accepted but some have some notes needing addressed...
@Unknown100 - Batwoman - Solo - Gotham * Oracle can't have the connection to Batman as there were no Batgirl's. Huntress also has to be the non Wayne version.
- Ω
I'll get on it as soon as I can with Oracle. I assume I don't have to change anything about Huntress in the CS. I'll just keep it in mind for the IC.
@Lord Wraith Any Bat-characters might need reworked cause he hasn't had any sidekicks or anything in this universe. To leave Gotham more open for the Titans...
- Ω
I'll edit Robin's existence out of my CS when I can.
With the particular subtype of characters, I'm drawn to, it'd be Kara doing the throwing :P
Potential Canons are as follows (List is ordered from Most Likely to Least):
Ravager - Rose Wilson Nightwing - Dick Grayson Nightstar - Mariand'r Batgirl - Stephanie Brown Starfire - Koriand'r Batgirl - Barbara Gordon Deathstroke - Slade Wilson Spoiler - Stephanie Brown
@Avanhelsing Just focusing on Primary Characters right now until we get the OOC and IC's up.
In the fairness of leaving it open, right now with the Secondary Character part of the CS, until folks are closer to the 5 posts in-game required I don't want anybody making sheets for them. Some of you could get accepted then never make 5 posts, but if you call dibs on Zatanna and make a sheet it could keep someone from using her as a Primary...
