Heads or Tails?
Harvey was born just south of Slaughter Swamp in Gotham City. During his childhood years, he was the son of a former cop named Harry Dent. The senior Dent frequently abused Harvey by using a coin to decide whether Harvey will go without a night of beating. Unbeknownst to Harvey at the time, the coin was double-headed, meaning that no matter which side it lands, it always results in his being beaten by his father. His father's status as a retired cop also prevented the proper authorities from stopping his child abuse. He eventually became an orphan after his parents were killed in a car accident. The abuse from his father, as well as the police's failure to stop it, gave him a deep hatred of corrupt cops, which led to his pursuing the DA job when he was older. These harsh surroundings resulted in Dent developing repressed mental illnesses of his own, such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
Gotham’s White Knight
After attending Metropolis University and gaining his law degree, Harvey returned to Gotham with his new girlfriend Gilda and took a job with Internal Affairs. Finding an ally in Jim Gordon, the two men began to systematically wipe the corruption from the Gotham Police Department. Harvey’s good looks, charm and dedication earned him the nickname “Gotham’s White Knight”. Becoming a loyal friend of Bruce Wayne and a supporter of the Batman, Dent soon took his ambitions to new heights and set his sights on the DA’s position. The road to office was a rough and violent one. Several attempts were made on Harvey’s life all of which he narrowly escaped, lady luck was on his side.
Big Bad Harv
Once becoming the Gotham City District attorney, Harvey fought corruption and superstition to try to make his city liveable. He worked with the Batman against the growing number of masked lunatics and spectacular criminals. However, the case that killed him was when he prosecuted the McKillen sisters. Irish identical twins, they had come to Gotham to assist criminal activities by their extended families. While in prison, they were approached by a disguised Joker whom had decided to target Harvey with the goal of corrupting the incorruptible. The three then hatched a plan, with one of the sisters committing suicide and the other, Erin, escaping disguised as the body. Once free, Erin McKillen tracked Dent down, killed his wife and threw acid on half his face. In retaliation Harvey shot Erin before succumbing to his injuries. A twisted hospital visit from Joker led to all of Dent’s repressed emotions bubbling to the surface and his mind fracturing in two.
The Trial of Harvey Dent
Dent escaped from the hospital and descended into madness. He became obsessed with duality and opposites, and developed a second persona, the villainous Two-Face, to compliment the law & order obsessed Harvey Dent. Of all of Batman’s rogue’s, Two Face was the one that Bruce felt most responsible for as they were close friends. Bruce would never give up on Harvey and often was the one that paid for Dent’s rehabilitation. After years of being in and out of Arkham Asylum, Harvey has recently had his face fully reconstructed and completed his therapy sessions to put the rest the Big Bad Harv personality.
Now due to be released from prison, Dent is looking forward to making amends however things are about to go wrong and ironically, Harvey’s fate may be decided by a flip of a coin….
-Extra:
At one point, Harvey was under suspicion of being Batman.
Many have suspected that Harvey was the one that caused his parents car to crash or at least, Big Bad Harv was.
Harvey was once engaged to Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy) when they were in college.
I've had a concept of Oracle, where Barbara Gordon had never become Batgirl, only helped in her creation, having been injured by joker before she was able to realize her goal, though it was more of an attempt to mess with the Commissioner, and less of The Killing Joke. Essentially she skipped the batgirl stage and used her intellegence and computer skills to become Oracle, though managed to remain anonymous even from Batman at first, She could be anywhere from teens to 30s depending on where she would fit in the timeline. I thought I would mention the concept before posting a CS, and of course leave some room for imput. If it wouldn't be too out of line with the story, I can post a CS later.
This is an interesting idea. Whip up a CS for me and we'll talk. I'm more than happy to amend the timeline to accommodate for characters
OK, I'm headbutting a brick wall.
I'll come up with something eventually, but don't feel you have to wait for me.
If you need any idea's don't hesitate to message me :)
Are original characters allowed? If not I might try and do Dick Grayson
Original characters are allowed as long as they fit into the universe as per the intro post.
just wondering, could I mix together two DC heroes to create a quasi-new hero?
That depends on the idea, message me and we'll talk.
Now the waiting game truly begins.
Hopefully it won't be too long a wait. Just waiting for a couple more CS from people who showed interest. If nothing comes then I'll allow people to double up on characters and we'll get started
First teaser for episode one is up!

All of the above characters are accepted of course :)
True but it can be worked around i.e she was only taken on by the Joker later on in his career and although there was a lot going on in that time, maybe she was actually only with him a couple of years.
The only inquiry (as a player) I have is, wouldn't Harleen be a bit older given the timeline of The Joker and everything with Gotham? Wouldn't she be into her thirties at least?
