Robin should be ready soon. Thank you for your patience. (I sound like an automated machine right now haha).

Edit: Sorry to hear that Bat-Mite got turned down by the way. I guess it was because this RP is taking a somewhat more serious approach than what Bat-Mite would be suited for. I agree with that, but it still sucks to have your character be turned down because it doesn't fit in with the RP's theme (I had that happen to me for making a character that was "too dark" for another RP, so I know what it's like).

Edit: Really enjoying the Nightwing and Redhood posts (even though there was only one Red Hood post in the IC so far). While all the superheroes are fun to read, it's interesting for me to read about the "charming" boy-wonder and the "anti-hero" boy-wonder, and how they're different from each other as well as the "nerd" boy-wonder I'm working on right now.

I got an exam tomorrow, so I'll be away for a bit. Expect the Robin CS shortly after that!

DC Comics: Shattered Justice

I think I'm getting a little carried away with the sample post for Tim Drake. It's getting longer than I expected, but I'm enjoying it a lot.

DC Comics: Shattered Justice

Yeah, I'll leave it up to them.

I'm not against the idea of playing a 14 year old... It's just going to be really crazy.

Yeah, your NW sheet kind of messed with my year count. I really wanted to make Jason 19 - 21, but he's 17 / 18 now.

@Hillan

Damn, so Tim's going to have to be around 14 after all.

Any chance we can bump up everyone's age by a few years? Haha.

DC Comics: Shattered Justice

And... We jinxed ourselves by mentioning that we weren't overrun by the bat kids. Now we're doomed!

@Blue Demon

Talk about it. I'm making a Tim Drake CS sheet right now, and I want to make it nice, but I'm afraid that any second I waste could end up with someone else coming in and taking the spot. Haha.

What's the count for the speedsters? 2?

DC Comics: Shattered Justice

When did Batman's sample-post take place? Right before new years?

Edit: Saw that it says Dec 25.

I finished reading through everything. If no one else is going for it, I'd like to take on Tim Drake's Robin.

But there is one thing that caught my eye. It's not too important but I may as well bring it up.

I'm not sure how much freedom we have to change the original storylines, but I just figured I'd point out this tiny detail that seems weird. Tim was able to figure out the identities of the original Robin (Dick Grayson) and Batman when he was 9 years old. Tim was a fan of Dick Grayson back when Grayson was an acrobat, and was there in the audience as a toddler when Grayson's family was shot. Later, when Grayson became the first Robin, Tim saw Robin on TV through news coverage. More importantly, Tim saw Robin perform a unique acrobatic move that Grayson had done, and no one outside of the Grayson acrobatic family had been able to perform that move. With this information, he deduced that Grayson was Robin, and noticed that Grayson had been taken in as the ward of Bruce Wayne, which gave him Batman's identity as well.

Here's the part that might cause trouble. The Batman sheet that HenryJonesJr put up says that Batman first took the original robin out during 2011. This means the earliest that Tim could have deduced the identities of Bruce and Dick was 2011. Tim is supposed to be 9 at the time he does this, meaning that by 2015 he would be 13 years old.

This actually checks out. According to the DC story, at this age he helped Batman and Nightwing break free from Two Face (who had captured both of them). With the help of Alfred, he rescued Batman and Nightwing, and was later trained by both of them. His training took "several months", so he was likely done sometime in 2015.

So, if this RP takes place at the end of 2015, Tim Drake will be 14 (his birthday is in July). I don't have any problem with that, but I just thought I'd point it out. My main concern is that if Drake's 14 at the time of this RP, it might leave him "glued" to Batman.

Anyway, that's all for now. It might seem like I'm nitpicking, but I'm only doing this to be safe (don't know how far we're allowed to bend the stories of the existing characters).

DC Comics: Shattered Justice

I'm thinking of going as Tim Drake's Robin. Other than Nightwing, have any other incarnations of Robin been taken? If anyone else wanted this role, or if there are too many Robins, I'd be cool with trying something else.

Reading through the character sheets now...

DC Comics: Shattered Justice

Sounds pretty cool. I've never done a superhero RP before, so I'd love to jump in.
