Everybody Wants to Shag Batman! [NC-H]

[The Great Triangle]

I'm interested in running a game based around an alternate version of the DC universe, featuring batman at the center of a complex web of relationships between the heroes and criminals of Gotham city.

Key Characters:  (Heroes)

Batman (Bruce Wayne)  Bisexual playboy and masked vigilante, Batman is one of the most admired men in Gotham.  His multiple lovers are a thinly veiled secret, and he's had his identity revealed to more than a few of his worst enemies.  Yet, they seem to find playing the game of propping batman up intoxicating, even as they take their turns slaking their lusts against him.

Robin (Tim Drake)  Batman's partner in crime, and his current apprentice.  Tim Drake is the third to bear the name Robin, and the third to be Wayne's secret lover. 


Key Characters:  (Villians)

The Joker (Richard Grayson) Once he was batman's first sidekick, then he fell into a vat of smilex toxins, and the bat rejected him.  Crafting a new identity, the disfigured former boy wonder began a life of crime, his intense love and hate for both Batman and Bruce Wayne driving him to new atrocities.

Harley Quinn (Harlene Quinzel) A psychiatrist who tried to "cure" the joker, her perverse attraction to the man caused her to get careless, and the Joker was able to sedate her, and implant a strange device close to her heart, where it could not be removed without killing her.  Quinzel was flooded with endorphins, and experienced nearly every sensation as pleasurable.  The strange effect of the scar near her heart drove her mad, and she became the Joker's lover and servant.

Catwoman (Selena Kyle) A dominatrix from the worse districts of Gotham, she became obsessed with Batman after he saved her from a group of muggers.  Donning a mask, for a brief time she became a costumed vigilante, using her feminine wiles to confuse and scare her opponents.  Yet, when she met batman, he dismissed her, and told her to quit.  Becoming angry, Selena applied her talents to crime, and soon became the most infamous burglar in all of Gotham.  She has plotted with the joker to kidnap batman for her own brand of pleasure on numerous occasions.



Secondary Characters: (Heroes)

Nightwing (Jason Todd) Batman's second sidekick, who found life under batman to be uncomfortable.  He struck out on his own, becoming the first to discover batgirl's secret identity, and blackmailed her into becoming his sidekick.   

Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) The daughter of commissioner Gordon was just another batman fangirl, until she decided to take her dreams into her own hands.  Unfortunately, she got caught and unmasked on her first night on patrol, only to be saved by nightwing.  She secretly resents her junior status, and the way that Nightwing keeps seeming to use her as a proxy for his frustrations with Batman.

Secondary Characters:  (Villians)

Two Face (Harvey Dent)  Harvey Dent was district attorney and Bruce Wayne's lover, but the Joker found out about their relationship, and threatened to test a new chemical agent on Mr. Dent if batman didn't turn himself in.  Batman surrendered to the joker, but he brought a police tracking device with him.  Angered by batman's half acceptance of his terms, the Joker doused half of Harvey Dent in his chemicals, disfiguring him and driving him insane.  After having Batman's true identity whispered into his ear, Two Face began a campaign of vengeance against Batman, hoping to catch the Joker in the crossfire.

Poison Ivy (Lillian Isely)  The second time Harlene Quinzel entered Arkham Asylum, she was assigned to a cell with Lillian Isely, a woman with severe schizophrenia, and delusions that the plants of the world would rise up and annihilate humanity if they were not respected.  Lillian found in Quinzel's blue eyes and optimistic attitude something truly admirable, though she loathed Harley's heterosexuality.  For several weeks, the two became a couple, until the Joker came and split them apart.  At Quinzel's request, Isely was set free, and so she became a supervillian, taking the name of Poison Ivy, and making it her goal in life to prove to Harley the superiority of sapphic affection.

[Karma]

My god. I can't resist this. Harley plz! ;D

[Transgirlenstein]

Poison Ivy please: if Karma does not mind playing the Harley to my Ivy

[Prefect Mos]

Is this going to Be a Dark Serious Game, Or Campy. I think I would like to apply For the Night Wing, however fully open minded about possibly different roles ect.

[scottw72]

I would actually like to play the Batgirl role if noone objects.

[Prefect Mos]

I dont, Especially If your open for a few Nightwing/Batgirl scenes...

[scottw72]

Definitely I'm up for that.

[Prefect Mos]

What role did you want... perhaps we can add something else...

[The Great Triangle]

The game will probably be dark, since I'm physically incapable of running light.  It'll be pretty watchmen like, very light on the superpowers, very heavy on the delusions and mental illness, like Christopher Nolan batman.

I can probobly take the role of Batman if nobody jumps on it, although we also need a joker... Anybody know anyone that would make a good joker/batman?


(We can probably skip robin though...)

[Karma]

You, Tri :P

[Mnemaxa]

This idea is freaking brilliant.
I am sad all the roles I wanted have been taken :( Make it good! I'll be curious to see what happens...

Maybe Lady Shiva, the martial arts queen and potential domme extraoidnaire? ^_~

[Anti]

This seems like a very interesting idea for a group RP, i'd definately be interested... the only problem is that i'd have to be the Joker, because I cant RP anyone else from batman.... although, Uhm... does it help that i'm the "official" best roleplayer of "The Joker" on bebo? I tend to play him as Heath Ledger did in The Dark Knight, a twisted, sadistic, maniacal and misunderstood genuis who also happens to be a master criminal and more than adequate fighter. I've been told I capture his personality better than anyone else has ever seen him RP'd on bebo. I know it sounds very arrogant but if i were to copy and paste some of my comments in here then it'd sound less so.

Anyway, i'd like to be in this xD

That sounds reasonable enough, that gives us a joker, and we can do without a robin.  A martial arts master from the east wouldn't be too bad an idea...  fits in with Batman Begins, although a catwoman might be more useful to give batman an obvious pairing.  I'll have to think about how to "spin" batman for a while...

Batman learned some of his martial arts from Lady Shiva. ^_^

[Transgirlenstein]

Will we be going with a more chemical using Ivy then rather then the all out plant tentacled lady of current comics?  (I like either version really :) )

[The Great Triangle]

I'm not as familiar with Shiva, but if the owner decides it's plausible, I am a master Googler (OHOHOHO.) and I HAVE wanted to try being a domme before...:>

I'm not opposed to using a more obscure character in the game, not when the character isn't insanely superpowered and comes with a recommendation from such an august personage as mnemexia.  If all else fails, catwoman and shiva could be fused into one character.

As far as Ivy goes, think master of poisons, with a bit of unabomber style ingenuity, to be able to create deadly toxins and explosives from common household chemicals.  Ivy spent much of her college carreer dosing herself with slowly escalating doses of the world's deadliest toxins, so she isn't afraid of filling the air around her with a mild neurotoxin just to hurt the judgment of her enemies.  Naturally, she might very well work on inoculating Ms. Quinn with a very thorough resistance to paralytic toxins.  ;)  (Or perhaps sedatives and/or aphrodisiacs)


As far as the format of the game goes, there's a discussion that needs to be had on whether or not to run the game in first person or third person.  I'd find the game easier playing batman in first person, but this is mostly because that enables me to avoid having to think about the precise direction I want to take his character.  Several obvious directions present themselves, of course.  Dashing seducer, cruel sexual predator, kinky playboy, mad vigilante...  there's a lot.   In first person, I can just employ shifting attitudes to embody Wayne's conflicting identities.  (although I imagine the Joker player is facing similar difficulties on how to define his character if he's not going to emulate a particular joker.)

[Karma]

I've grown fond of first person.

[Anti]

You guys can write in first person if you want, but i'll be writing in third person (eg: "As batman leapt towards him, The Joker swung his right arm in a vicious hook punch, catching batman's jaw") because from a narrative point of view, it's the easiest way to include all the necessary detail for the actions and thoughts of your character, AND being able to include other stuff such as description of the location and things that you as the RPer know, but your character doesnt.

[Transgirlenstein]

I can try my hand at first person.  And think of many nasty things to put into syringes for poor Harley :)

[Anti]

(although I imagine the Joker player is facing similar difficulties on how to define his character if he's not going to emulate a particular joker.)

I tend to go for the Heath Ledger style joker, as he has the capacity to literally be whatever you want. Heath Ledger's joker can be RPd as a twisted maniac, a misunderstood genius, a stone cold killer or just a sex-crazed psycopathic nihilist who is hell bent on the destruction of anything that he can see. <3 the joker xD

+ to see me Rping as Him, go to Pixi & Grape's playhouse in the one-on-one light's board.

[The Great Triangle]

Awesome!  The cat is a sexy lady.  :)

I think having all of the characters except the joker write in first person would work.  It makes sense enough that nobody can see into the joker's mind. 

As for the structure of the game, do you want me to provide scenarios and then have the players play through them, or simply play the game freeform with each player defining his or her goals individually?

[Karma]

Scenarios might give it some form and prevent it from falling in on itself, yeah?

[The Great Triangle]

True, and I'm in the mood to do a fairly structured game anyway...  So, yes.  Scenarios!

[The Great Triangle]

We're currently in need of a Joker.  Graceful, charismatic joker (Animated Series or Adam West type) Preferred, but anarchist punk joker perfectly acceptable.

[Aestas]

Wow this game looks so interesting.  :x  I could pull off robin, but i doubt i could really do joker. x.x 

I will be following it though!! <3

[Anti]

I'm still in this game, just settling some connection issues with my ISP that are limiting my activity. Should be sorted shortly, so can i remain as The Joker?

Sure!  Sorry to count you out!  *smiles*

*wraps an arm around Aesta*  Heya... I think you'd make a great boy wonder!  *grins*

[Aestas]

-eg- Yes.  <3  I always kinda loved the dynamic, especially when the boy wonder was a little bit angst ridden (read *a normal teen*)  -laughs-

[The Great Triangle]

Excellent!  If you read the backstory, you'll be playing the third Robin in line, after the first Robin went mad and became the Joker, and the second Robin grew up and became Nightwing.  You can work out the specifics of your backstory though.  (Whether you were a waif who was raised from a very young age to be Batman's pet, an angst ridden boy with revenge in his eyes after his parents were brutally murdered, or possibly even Brucie's estranged son.)

[Aestas]

I'm passingly familiar with the batman backstory, i think i would want to play the boy somewhat angsty, but not revenge driven.  Since he generally is fairly level headed in the comics, balancing out Batman to some extent.  XD

Now im nervous.

[The Great Triangle]

*hugs*  Don't worry about running the character too much.  Just get a general idea of how you present yourself.  Do you wear the boy stripper robin costume, the green tights variation, or some postmodern skintight rubber suit?  (My batman is wearing a rubber suit roughly equivalent to the suit from the original Tim Burton Batman movie)

[Aestas]

I actually went and looked up robin suits. >.>  One:  The normal suit.  Green tights etc.  The other a version with red tights and black boots. :x

Ill admit im kinda partial to the red.   Though the idea of a black rubber suit is kinda hot as well.

Well, you could always have different suits for different "purposes"  ;)  Although I do hope to get enough plot development to actually have some crimefighting.  Maybe you could introduce a subplot of robin running through some ridiculous piece of angst?

[Aestas]

Okay, let me get caught up on the various plots we got going now, and you can always throw an idea or two at me to work with. XD

[The Great Triangle]

Well, there's always Robin being sent ahead to Arkham to investigate the Joker's escape.  I assume you're going to want to play Robin as a cute, sweet faced young 17 year old with a great ass and a whole lot of angst for one reason or another?  *grins*

[Aestas]

>.>!  Most definitely!  Which plot (A B or C) Would be the best to start that in?

[The Great Triangle]

Probobly A plot.  (the one I posted in)  Although we could probably also divert it to the C plot, to give catwoman and joker time to work with catwoman without disruption.  (Since I'm not sure that nightwing and batgirl will end up doing much together...)

[Aestas]

Sounds great!  Ill go ahead and start something in C, since it seems pretty wide open and will let the other storylines develop. *nods*

Also: <3

[The Great Triangle]

*grins*  That's beautiful... I so want to have that happen!

[Prefect Mos]

The hell we wont!

[Transgirlenstein]

That is so hot....

Saved on my computer now.  My favorite part is Batman giving the two thumbs up haha.


And poor Ivy needs her playmate so she fill her full of syrines and mysterious chemicals ^^

[Aestas]

Nightwing x Robin

s'the full sized image, since i shrunk the other so it wouldn't flood the page. heh.  Much nicer. >.>

[Elohim]

I hate the monster and I love him, he tore open the curtain and revealed to the audience the monster within.  I seen horrors the like most have never seen locked within the walls of arkham but most of them were insane,  and delusional their grasp on reality was tenous at best… but him…  HE was something different.  He was the most mad monster I had ever seen, but in that insanity that beast had clarity… he knew the way the world worked.  He showed me what sort of beasts lurked beneath the surface of all man kind by showing me what lurked within his heart of darkness…  and in doing so he showed me the monster that lurked within my own soul.

I had tried to repress her for so, so very long…  I knew she was there when I studied psychology.  Hell part of my reasoning for studying medicine might have been the fact that she was there letting out maniacle laughter in the first place.  I was always meek,  I focused so much on controlling every little aspect of my life not letting out a little bit of passion for fear that I would lose myself to it, and then this cackling madman showed up within my little world… he didn’t so much as spit in the face of my own beliefs but tore off my face so I could stare into it in the mirror. 

Pills,  exercize, stress balls, SHOCK THERAPY all of these are false, well besides the later I learned it can be a fun way to spend your time, does horrible things to your hair… but its not going to lock you into your rung of society.  It’ll jolt you out of it, open doors that were supposed to be left  shut and let you see things that are best left unseen… he… Mister Jay let me look into those doors.  He shouldn’t have,  I could have been a successful doctor you know.  People said I was smart,  they really did…  I think I graduated from an ivy league school but I don’t remember anymore, and its not like It matters.  One doesn’t gain knowledge from education, one gains knowledge by tearing the skin off of something and possibly drilling into their skull to see just what makes them tick… and twitch an make all those funny little sounds before they empty their bladder and make that funny little sound with their mouths and stop breathing…

Where was I?

Ahhh I’m sorry doctor you asked me my name? Ummm…  Jill…  Jack…  Alexandra? Alex…  I donno,  He called me Harley, Harley Quinn I think it makes sense to me now.  It’s a reference to clowns and people are afraid of clowns.  HEh,  no that’s really only the half of it.  It’s all about the mask, and the adopted personality… the name is a paraody of the person I used to be you see.  I was a harley quin then.  I wore the make up took on a role that was predetermined by others thanks to aparticular set of skills that I had.  I was playing myself as a fool and a clown, but he ripped the face and my make up right of and showed me just what lurked beneath the surface…  I kept the name because we’ll even now I’m not a complete construct of my own psychology he pressed his will against me and I conformed, but I’m freer now then I ever was a doctor or a cafeteria manager… what was I again? AHh yes I was a head shrinker!  I can do that still its easy all you need is a vice and some KY jelly…  what’s that for… well sometimes a girl needs a little bit of help you big silly!

Do you know that it’s wrong for doctor’s to be attracted to their patients.  I learned why,  I think I did… he laughed a lot and then I did very dirty things in the chair your sitting in.  I’m really flexible you know,  I can make those asian women in their flashy little pajama’s blush and not out of lust.  But I am a sexy little thing aren’t I.  Well I would be if they let me have a brush…  they said my last roommate didn’t like it when I stuffed it down her throat and made her tell me how weak her construct of reality was…  won’t let me have a belt either.  Why?  I’m not suicidal I was more suicidal when I was… something?  But now, I’m everything and there’s no reason to become nothing even when the world is hyper focused to only allow a human being to be one person… tell that to that funny man who wears a cape and they same I’m crazy…  I atleast know that the me I was isn’t the me I am,  but he seems to think that they;’re the same person!  He’ll learn mister jay will teach him, he promised he would…  I think he said something about a spiky mechanical bull,  but I believe that I tripled his medication the day before so maybe that doesn’t matter…

I’m going off topic…?  What were we talking about anyway?  Sex life…

Where am I suppose to have a sex life?  You locked me in room with beds for walls!  I mean the kinky possibilities are endless…  but my straight jacket has crotch ropes… 

Wait you said my EX life?  You can read all about that lets go back to sex life.  Sex is kind of fun,  you wouldn’t know that as you’ve probably only had girl on top and missionary…  maybe if you were lucky a little doggy style if your lady friend was feeling adventurous. Can I have a cigarette they said I wasn’t suppose to have one… said they were dangerous tools you see…  but I could make more dangerous weaponry out of all the fun little things inside the top part of the toilet bowl…  have you seen all those little metal shards inside it!  I used one to make something to twist in my hair but they took it away and said it was a dangerous weapon.  They said I could stick it into someone, and make them die…

Did you know I can do the same thing with my fingers doctor… after a while,  well…  you can easily penetrate flesh if you try hard enough and you don’t mind the feel of your own skin giving in as it penetrates the layer of your victims flesh. Its fun really,  and there’s no way to get closer then bleeding together… I don’t care what anyone says!  Screw sex,  it’s the gore and tearing away the facades of this blatant little charade that is reality that lets you know people.  Don’t look at me like that…

Did you know that girls are actually decent sex partners?  I was surprised to you know…  I mean,  I’ve never been interested in sex… maybe it’s because it’s the wrong kind of sex you know?   But,  this lady she’s a bit loony…  not in the true extent of the way, she’s just kind of crazy.  She calls herself poison ivy, they locked me in a room with her now right..  she’s been giving me googly eyes and making obscene gestures with her eyes as if she;s copulating with me in her imagination.  I don’t mind,  I’ve copulated with lots of things in my imagination…  she’s  actually pretty high on my list she’s pretty with her red hair.  They let her have a comb, I can tell because it’s all silky…  I like to run my hands in it while she’s sleeping you see….  And it smells like flowers…  flowers and sex…  which isn’t a bad smell at all if your able to acclimate yourself to the stink of humanity. It shouldn;’t be hard, we’re all peoplearen’t we? Atleast ont the surface that is beneath were all horrible monsters that want to eat each other’s heart and have wild and raunchy sex…

I’m scaring you aren’t I?

It was the thing about the toilet, you pressed that little panic button didn’t you..  I guess you seen the shard of steel I shoved into the skin of of my thigh.  We’ll I’m sorry doctor,  I’m sure you have some whiny little sob story…  but me and the lady that smells like sex an flowers have a plan.  Nighty,nighty…  I hope that religion hit it on the head, because I’ll feel bad for sending you to oblivion…

I think I might kindof love you a little…  but don’t feel special…  I love just about everything that I see…  that doesn’t mean I don’t want to break it out of its repative pattern of static reality!  And, we’ll if I kill you the flutter across the spider webs will reach many more places then if I just knocked you out with the magic lip stick the pretty lady made.. she’s going to be mad but I have to make a difference!
