Long Live The Knight [Recruitment]

[TheBlackThrone]

Batman is dead. He sacrificed himself taking down the one nemesis he never could kill: The Joker. Even in his last efforts, he still never killed him. He made sure The Joker went down with his own gag. The world and Gotham were shocked by the news. The scum in the crime-riddled nooks and crannies of the city were elated. Batman was gone. It wasn’t until his absence that Batman’s disciples realized how much of a powerful influence he had on every villain in Gotham. Arkham Asylum; Blackgate Penitentiary; they exploded with rebellion. Gotham Police and every known disciple of Batman were overwhelmed by the radicalized violence. Batman’s death triggered a historical revolution. Criminals set fire to the streets and gangs started to carve out territory. The three largest gangs were led by Black Mask, Two Face, and The Penguin—The Gotham Triad. Black Mask absorbed Joker’s old gang and allowed them to create a sub-group under him known simply as The Jokers in honor of the deceased clown prince’s name. The group so far has been brought to heel, but they are plotting something—something Sionis doesn’t know about.

Gotham Police were forced to build barricades around a surviving safe haven in Old Gotham. The safe haven was called Neo Genesis. What started off as a necessary act of survival turned into the mayor’s psychosociological project. Neo Genesis was the answer to Gotham’s crisis. A safe haven where the government kept tabs on everyone and severely punished those who would dare commit a crime. With the Gotham Police at his side, the mayor planned to expand Neo Genesis throughout the entirety of Gotham.

What happened to the side of good? It seemed to have died with Batman. No one knew what good looked like anymore. Gotham was either black or gray. Neo Genesis made a difficult ally, and its existence divided the Bat Family. Some of the Bat Family chose to serve and protect Neo Genesis, while others sought independence and the old freedom. The divided family made them inadequate at stopping The Gotham Triad. Neo Genesis appeared to be an island waiting to be swallowed by the black water surrounding it, but there was hope.

Batman was always known to be prepared and steps ahead of his enemies. His death was only a cue in a long, devised plan. Project Orphan was a program that gathered several gifted orphans from around the world and placed them under a rigorous training program led by Talia al Ghul and The League of Assassins. The children were raised to appear the same. Their heads were shaved, and they wore the same black, ninja-yoroi. No matter the age, when they completed a grueling life or death rite called The Kiss of Death, they were given a pseudonym that represented what they saw in The Dream. For what they saw was who they were.

While Talia honored Batman’s plan to run the project, she had other uses for the children. She planned to sell them to The Gotham Triad for money, knowing they would make powerful mercenaries. She underestimated them for the children who called her mother learned of her plan. They escaped the League of Assassins and went into hiding. They knew their purpose was to keep an eye on Batman and wait. They waited for years into their adulthood until Batman died as he predicted he would. When the orphans left the League of Assassins, they were all given a scroll with a wax seal. The seal was not meant to be broken and the message within not read until that moment. The message would bring them all secretly together in Gotham.

Interest Check

The game takes place on alternate Earth Triple Niner. The setting of this story will stay within Gotham. There will be no other DC characters. Every now and then, a canon cameo from the Bat Family may make an appearance, but those characters are not playable as PCs. This game will be focused on original characters from Project Orphan. Now adults and having broken the seal which gave them their next orders. What are those exact orders? You would have to participate in the game to find out.

I want this game to have the noir vibe that Gotham already has except being that this is an adult site, we can really explore those dark themes. You will be required to make an orphan, and there won’t be an in-depth system because I am not a fan of system games. However, I must control Mary Sues, and so there will be a very, easy, mild system which prevents overpowered characters from being created. Simply, your characters will have automatically the below categories in their character sheet:

Strength
Speed
Toughness
Martial Arts
Accuracy
Technical

Strength is physical strength.
Speed is agility and self-explanatory, physical speed.
Toughness is how a character takes pain, and it also includes stamina/endurance. The ability to keep going.
Martial Arts is martial arts.
Accuracy is how well a character uses firearms, bows, etc. Projectiles.
Technical a character’s ability to investigate, hack, solve puzzles, and collect evidence.

Players will only be allowed to select one of those categories for [PEAK]. Peak means the character is peak human and maybe even slightly above human in that category. Players can only use PEAK once and can only use it on one of the categories. If there are two characters with PEAK in the same category, then they are evenly matched in those categories unless a PM conversation between the two writers dictates otherwise.

And that’s it! Simple right? The rest of the character will require writers to come up with a character name, the name they acquired in The Kiss of Death rite, and a theme that matches their pseudonym (KoD alias). For example, Batman’s theme was a Bat. Similarly, the pseudonym will be an animal of some sort that represents the original character.

Expectations

Writing Ability: Players who express interest in this game must be capable of writing more than 200 words. They must also be capable of basic English grammar and they must be willing to write in third-person. Writers must separate themselves from their characters. They are not their characters. Their characters are an independent entity of their creation.
Activity: I work; I train; I deploy; tell me about it. I don’t post five times a day, and I don’t expect anyone else to. You will be required to post at minimum once every seven days. I count; don’t worry. If you need more time, if you’re going on vacation somewhere, if you encounter any delays, then simply communicate. Tell us what’s up so we’re not paused and waiting. Players who don’t inform the GM of their absence will be given 14 days to do so. Around the 14th day, the GM will check their activity status and PM them. If the GM receives no answer after 48 hr, then their character will be dropped from the game.
Romance: I love when chemistry happens between characters. Understand, there is nothing wrong with romance in this game. It just has to be driven by the two Ps: plot and purpose. If your goal is to sleep with every character in the game and then leave, then you’re in the wrong game. This game is all about story and building drama. If there’s no plot and purpose behind the romance, it’s smut and this isn’t a smut-heavy game.
Dark Themes: There may be non-consensual mentions, crime, gore, and other noir themes. This game will be placed in the NC: Human-Freeform Small Groups only because we’re not going so extreme to include bestiality or bathroom chaos. Nope.
Storytellers: When you’re building your character, please come up with a story. If you have read this interest check and already have a character idea, then that is a really good sign. It’s the sign of not only a good character concept but a long-term one with a potential story. So when you are brainstorming a character don’t just pull one out of your hat. It should feel like inspiration. If you force it, I will know because when you send it to me, I’m going to be like “Where were you going with this?” So please think it out. Don’t just join the game to join. If you have a bad story behind your character, then you won’t last long any way. So I am trying to help you out by informing you about what you should be thinking about before you commit to a game.

Lastly, if you have any questions, I will add a Q&A to this. Just a reminder, this is an interest check. You didn’t see a ton of detail because it’s an interest check. I already know what I have planned for this. I want to see what kind of writers would be interested in this idea before I go all out. It makes my life easier. If you guys want to talk among yourselves in this interest check, please do. I like collaboration and you guys may be able to bounce ideas off your peers.

Q&A

Q: Can the Kiss of Death aliases be mythological creatures?

A: No.

Q: Can there be more than one character with the same Peak category?

A: Yes.

[TheBlackThrone]

When Batman fell, Gotham was never the same. The city was divided into three parts controlled by the Gotham Triad: Penguin, Two Face, and Black Mask. The surviving innocents were backed into a sectioned-off and heavily-fortified city called “Neo Genesis.” Within Neo Genesis was the hope that Gotham would one day be as it once was—but better. People are able to live a normal life, while outside its walls the ruins of Gotham burned in gang warfare. Batwoman watched over Neo Genesis with Oracle and Red Robin supporting her, but as Nightwing argued, there wasn’t much to protect. The problem was not on the inside, but the outside. This was where the Bat family was divided. Nightwing, Red Hood, and Damian Wayne Batman split their efforts across Old Gotham to combat the triad, but their efforts were in vain. Because they were divided, they couldn't stand a formidable chance. There were too many villains, and all they could manage to do was ensure none of the villains got close to Neo Genesis.

Inside Neo Genesis, the mayor, Troy Howard (FC: Mad Mikkelsen), was shaping the future of Gotham. He was placing tags on everyone, collecting their biometric data, and storing it within a massive database. He wanted to identify everyone to ensure their safety. Facial recognition was how the people accessed stores and their own homes. Howard was empowering the people to join the police force and slowly, the walls of Neo Genesis expanded. However, when the day came when Gotham was reclaimed, Howard secretly had no intention of ever giving Gotham back its name. Gotham was the name of a corrupt and crime-infested city. Neo Genesis, as its name signifies, was a “New Beginning.” His beginning. His conquest to do the impossible and end crime forever.

Those outside Neo Genesis, to include those Bat Family members, thought Troy Howard was a quack. Frighteningly though, with how things were going, Howard’s dream seemed possible.

The Divide

Roman Sionis was not as young as he used to be. None of the triad were. Time had aged them, but greed kept them alive when so many had fallen in the war. To name a few, Bane had suffered a heart attack and died. His heart was unable to take his continued use of venom. Mr. Freeze died when Two Face’s gang shattered his helm. Black Mask’s Jokers burned Poison Ivy and her lair. The villainess chose to burn with her pets. Victor Zsasz was killed by Red Hood. The remaining villains still exist. Some are employed by the triad voluntarily or against their will.

There exists a second haven, ironically in Two Face’s territory. The lives of captured innocents were determined by a coin toss. Those who got the good flip were allowed to live in the yellow-shaded area. Those who got the bad flip were executed. Two Face and his gang reside in the darker shaded area and often cross into the yellow, seeking out survivors who have fled into their territory. Fugitives who were hiding in basements and other areas during the gang wars started to emerge and try to flee to Neo Genesis. While the Bat Family try to reach them first, most don’t ever make it. There are rewards out on the heads of the Bat Family, and anyone who brings the triad one of them dead or alive will be given a rather tall promotion. The Bat Family has been so far exceptional at not getting caught but at the expense of their health. Lack of sleep and sometimes eating and drinking can make a hero have a sloppy escape. Batwoman will give Nightwing supplies to share with the others, but one day, her supplies won’t be enough.

Neo Genesis Mayor
Troy Howard

Transportation

The metro has been deactivated. The tunnels are blocked in Neo Genesis, but are used as check and smuggling points everywhere else. Neo Genesis receives supplies via helicopter. The helicopters make risky flights out of the city, and are assaulted by turrets and RPGs as soon as they pass over Black Mask’s territory. It is Roman’s strategy to starve Neo Genesis into submission, and currently, Neo Genesis has only five helicopters left.

Orphan

Clandestine operatives of Batman were activated upon receiving news of his passing. The orphans, out living normal lives, were quick to throw it all away upon immediate execution of their orders. Their final destination: Gotham—or what was left of it.

They were to meet in a warehouse in Sandy Hook, controlled by one of Black Mask’s goons. How they went about cleaning out the gang without the rest of Roman’s organization being notified was the true test. After fifteen years, the orphans would meet for the first time. With hair on their heads and matured. Reunited, they would open their scrolls together and read Batman’s message.

Interesting concept...quick question, for the aspects you listed, I understand that only one of them can be at a peak level, but to you want a generalized overview of where we see out characters falling in the rest as well, or just for them to be left blank and only the peak category noted?

Only the peak category is noted. You can add general talents, but depending on the peak you chose, one talent will be the one that sets them apart from the rest of humanity.

[Malrunar]

Face Claim: Jade Thompson

Full Name: Io St. Claire
Alias: The Rook
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Sapiosexual
Race: Human
Ethnicity: Welsh
Height: 5’3
Weight: 120 lbs
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Left green, Right blue
Build: Wiry and althletic
Complexion: Freckles for days!
General Description: A woman who could blend in with a crowd, or dress to the nines and put a runway model to shame. She’s wiry, moves with fluid grace and is good at appearing approachable even with she’s in a foul mood. Most of the time Io has a smirk on her face, but in many ways, this is a careful mask used to keep people from knowing what she's thinking.
Costume Description: Sleek black and matte in tone, this light material was made to blend in easily, move without excess sound or restriction, and allow her body to breathe. This is a costume made for stealth, not armor, but if you can’t hurt what you can’t hit or see, why would you need heavy armor? Io doesn't seem to follow any theme to pair her with her moniker, but titles and 'calling cards' were never up her ally anyway.

Personality: Io is aloof at times, but always ready with a quick wit, some dark humor, and the occasional dad joke. She’s friendly even if she’s private about her own person, and is constantly driven to find the next adrenaline rush. Life is short, she’ll be surprised if she lives to see 30, so why not have fun? When it comes to working, she is rarely frightened and doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty, and is known to have a practical tool for nearly every situation -even when she’s wearing a ball gown.
Likes: Bubble baths. Adrenaline rushes. Sushi. Anything shiny. Living a dangerous life allows you to appreciate the little things -and savor the occasional luxury. Being prepared for the worst.
Dislikes: Power-hungry bigots. Politicians. When a heavy drop of rain manages to catch the back of the neck. Being taken advantage of. Cassowarys.
Psychological Quirks: Slight case of obvious kleptomania. She’s good at stealing shit… but sometimes she steals too much. She is also somewhat of a control freak- she doesn't like being told how to do her job, especially by those who don't know what they're talking about. She didn't get good at thieving because she Googled it.

Story: I will come back to this part, I like to create a little of the background as I get more comfortable with the setting, and as the character has had a few posts to develop.

Peak: Speed

Talents: Need to 'borrow' a priceless artifact from the world's most famous museum? Confiscate top secret files on a corrupt CEO's personal computer? Or maybe you need evidence planted on someone before having them quietly removed? Io has the skills for both low tech and high tech thievery, but she is also talented in acting, lying boldly in the face of danger, and is nimble of finger and foot. She might rely on her speed and talents to keep her away from trouble, but as soon as someone gets within the 'danger zone', she enforced numerous styles of martial arts to put down her enemies. She's a Fifth level black belt in Krav Maga, so despite her slight frame, she knows how to use leverage and momentum to discourage anyone stupid enough to get in her way. Among physical fitness, Io likes to expand her mind and reasoning. She's fluent in four languages, (English, Latin, Russian and Spanish,) and well versed in Japanese. She has numerous skills and talents in other fields as well, but these are areas she had studied to blend into her surroundings when needed, and she is in no way an expert on them.
Weapon(s): Escrima Sticks.
Gadgets: Lock picks. Grappling gun. Small bottles of various, corrosive chemicals. Smoke bombs. A high-power, compact torch. Viewing scope. The lenses on her suite allow for night vision, infra-red, ultra-violet and displays information through various sensors built throughout. “It’s like as if Google had a love child with Prada.” She has throwing knives on her person, as well, but these are what she uses for Plan C.
Vehicle(s): Anything but the back of a police car.
Familiar: N/A

[TheBlackThrone]

I will be limiting this to just six to eight applicants. Eight if we actually get that many and if they are really good. If we are receiving less, then six it will be. More like five other than my own application. I do not want this to have a big cast.

I will not be accepting first-come; first-serve. I have been on this site for a while and most writers should know by now that I literally accept people based on their character concept. If the shoe fits. So please send something interesting and be willing to interact with your fellows. This is a group game after all.

[Malrunar]

Happy Palindrome Day!  Looking forward to seeing other misfits join in! I can't promise that Io wouldn't try to pilfer anything from you... But at least she doesn't (usually) bite.

[Praxis]

Hey BlackThrone.    Have a look and let me know what you think.  Let me know if I Mary-Sued it too hard.

Face Claim: Henry Cavill

Full Name: Timothy Andrew Rayne
Alias: Kite
Age: 28
Gender:Male
Sexuality:Hetero
Race: Caucasian
Ethnicity: American
Height:6'3"
Weight:187 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Build: Fit.  The broad, toned build of someone that exercises significantly on a daily basis.
Complexion: Normal..ish?
General Description: Tall, broad and fit.  Tim maintains himself physically both with exercise as well as personal grooming.  While he might come off as being overly precious about his appearance he thinks of it more along the lines of enjoying putting effort into things.  He puts effort into his appearance as he puts effort into most things.
Costume Description: Form fitting white body suit and mask with black highlights.  A white trenchcoat.

Personality:Tim is focused and generally quiet. It doesn't mean he has opinions on things, in fact what he does have opinions on, they happen to be quite strong.  He's not afraid to make decisions nor is he shy about making decisions for himself and a group of people.  He tends to be analytical, possibly a little too much and can come of as distant or reserved but it's more out of a need to properly assess a situation before settling on a course of action.

Likes: Quiet, Reading, Competition, Danger, Music (nearly all types), Thalia (possibly erring on the side of in love with her)
Dislikes: People without purpose, lack of a plan, noise without purpose, politics, cowards, greed, pride
Psychological Quirks: Tim likes order, right down to things on his desk placed at right angles to the edges of his desk.

Story: Tim's whole world at the moment is Project Orphan.  Even if he did recall his life prior to becoming a member of the project, it's altogether likely that he would disregard it and focus solely on the tasks laid out before him and his future as well as the future of Project Orphan.

The Kiss of Death was a transformative moment for Timothy upon encountering a swallow-tail kite in The Dream.  Not so much, the sense of flying but moreso the feeling of being able to identify, isolate and in turn target prey was fascinating to him.  He felt as though there was something profoundly tactical to the experience and is resonated with him.


Strength
Speed
Toughness
Martial Arts
Accuracy
Technical

Talents:Exceptionally capable with firearms of all types. Tim is comfortable with the dissassembly and maintenance of firearms and can do so blindfolded.  Once having spent forty hours training with a firearm he can tell how many rounds are left in a magazine by simply holding it and feeling the weight.  He is comfortable using firearms in one hand or both, as well as dual-wielding when and where necessary and is comfortable fighting in hand to hand combat with one or two pistols held while doing so. (Of course this limits some of what he is capable of doing while in hand to hand) .  Suffice to say, Tim is very accurate when it comes to hitting what he shoots at.  He's also capable of hitting targets while running, dodging rolling etc.  He also knows how make his own rounds for guns as well as some ways to modify rounds for various purposes.

Weapon(s): Dual Sig Sauer P220 .45 calibre handguns

Gadgets: Tim's lenses in his costume allow him to see along infrared bands as well as low light conditions.  His .45s are loud when firing them as well as most guns.  He has built in, selective-sonic mufflers that mitigates the noise of his guns when firing them.  His white trenchcoat is layered with an advanced sort of kevlar that is capable of stopping most small arms fire. 

[TheBlackThrone]

The only thing wrong is his alias. The alias has to be an animal. I recommend reading the Kiss of Death rite mentioned in the OP to get an idea of what should be in the alias.

[TheBlackThrone]

I noticed how it wasn't clearly written what the Kiss of Death exactly was (for story reasons), but the animal thing was not clearly mentioned as I intended. I will mention it in the Character Sheet since that detail didn't make it into the final draft for some reason. But for anyone who is finding interest in this game, your character's alias and theme is based on the animal they saw during the ritual and the animal must have a similar dark, nightly theme as the bat did for Batman.

[Praxis]

Ah!

Okay.

Let me chew on that.  It's a fairly easy readjustment.  My apologies for missing it.  I'll get it square and get back to you with a renaming.

[Praxis]

Alright, updated.

Have a look.

This guy was my inspiration...

[TheBlackThrone]

I like it. Approved.

[TheLaughingOne]

... i suddenly got this idea of whats basicly a rip off of Taskmaster from marvel more or less... able to copy the people he/she fights. Code name: Mockingbird

i also need sleep so who knows how brain will go when i wake up!

Face Claim: Theo Theodoris

Full Name: Dorian Stefanos Calypso
Alias: Loris - a cute, harmless-looking nocturnal Asian mammal that also happens to be the only venomous mammal in existence.
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Race: Human
Ethnicity: Greek
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 165
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Grey
Build: Athletic (swimmer or runner, rather than power lifter or wrestler)
Complexion: Clear
General Description: Model hot.  He could fit easily into Bruce Wayne's role as a playboy.  His hair is shoulder length and he frequently sports a several day growth of beard.  He tans easily and looks like he spends a lot of time lazing in the sun.  He rarely wears sunglasses and is often seem wearing a set of dog tags.  He prefers casual clothes but wears a designer suit like he was born to it.

Costume Description: Dark and non-reflective, with a very obvious face piece

Personality: Dorian is quiet and thoughtful.  A meticulous planner, he rarely acts without considering the situation from as many sides as he can.  Some have described him as indecisive because of this but he'd rather take a few extra moments to study as situation that go in blind and make a disastrous mistake.

Likes: Animals. They are more trustworthy than people.  Long walks by himself.  Old libraries - he loves the smell of old books.  History.

Dislikes: People who mistreat animals.  Commercial flights.  Plant based meat substitutes.

Psychological Quirks: Dorian is always doing something with his hands, be it rolling a coin in his fingers or gesturing with a piece of cutlery as he eats.  If nothing else is at hand, he will rub his thumb against his fingers. 

Story: The earliest thing Dorian can remember is a fire and sirens.  He suspects that may be when his parents died.  After that came the training and the League of Assassins and a vivid dream where he came face to face with a huge eyed creature that killed with its bite. 

He's spent much of his life drifting, learning.  He's been a vet in Africa, trying to save the last of a dying species; he's been a diver recovering trinkets from wrecks to support himself.  In each place he studies the animals, learning the ways they defended themselves, he way they killed. 

On more than one occasion he has been tempted to break the seal and read the scroll; now his chance to do so is drawing nigh.  Armed with deadly weapons forged by the hand of man and the hand of Mother Nature, he stands ready to occupy the place he's been bidden to go and meet up once again with those dimly remembered children from so long ago.

Talents: Technical Peak Specifically chemistry, botany and biology.  He's an expert of exotic poisons of all types, whether they are organic or inorganic.  His concoctions can be stimulants, depressants and poisons.  To a lesser extent, he has some medical skill and he's an experienced scuba diver.  He's also a skilled weapons tech, having made his own weapons and the dart guns that are hidden in their hilts.  He has more tricks up his sleeve than most people realize.

Weapon(s): Dorian prefers swords, not just for their silent killing capability but also for their ability to deliver any of a thousand rugs.  There is even a dart gun built into the hilts.  The darts are preloaded and it takes time to change them, something Dorian doesn't always have time to do.

Gadgets: Dorian always carries a variety of drugs with him, ranging from lethal poisons to antiseptics.  Nature's kitchen has created things that no pharmaceutical company can equal.  He can use pistols and has a preference for small automatic weapons like the Ceska Black Scorpion, and prefers darts to knives. 

Vehicle(s): Although he knows how to fly small planes, he does not actually have a drivers license.  He's familiar with small boat operations (up to the size of a dive boat) but his preferred vehicle is a pick-up truck.  It's nothing special, unless you consider all the concealed compartments that hide the tools of his trade.

Familiar: Dorian has no familiar.

[TheBlackThrone]

Looks good. A loris, I would have never imagined. XD

[Captain Whitebread]

First thing that came up from a nocturnal venomous Google search.

My first thought was WTF? Followed by that’s ridiculous followed by no that’s awesome no one would expect it. So cute. So adorable. So deadly. And it is a two component poison licked from an armpit gland and activated by the saliva

[TheBlackThrone]

I just wanted to let you guys know that I still intend to run this game. I am in the elimination phase of this course. I will either be busy for these last three weeks or no longer busy because I got eliminated. In the meantime, if you want to elaborate or make changes to your CSs feel free. I will still be accepting players until the end of Feb (or sooner again if I fail).

[Captain Whitebread]

Good luck!

[Praxis]

Thanks for the heads up Throne.

I have some additional bits and bobs I want to add to my guy.  I'll post them here for your approval.  it's possible that Whitebread and Yggdrasil will want to add them to.  :)

[Captain Whitebread]

I'm open to suggestions

[Praxis]

I'm open to suggestions

So I was thinking, at the very least; built in communications into our character's suits?  Throne can decide what the range is on them.

Possibly some adrenaline auto-injectors for everyone as well should injuries occur. (Of which I'm certain there will be)

Also...up to Throne but I'd like for Kite to have a grapple gun like Batman and the Bat-Family uses?  Possibly Rook and Loris would want one as well?

[Captain Whitebread]

Loris has all sorts of drugs on hand already and given enough incentive could provide them to others.

Given that they don't usually work with others, starting with comm units doesn't make a lot of sense.  Easy enough to add them later.

Grapple guns are always good.

[Malrunar]

Rook already has a grapple. 😉 And I don't think she'll have auto injectors, I don't want her to be too weighed down or too powerful. She prefers useful tools and strives to just not get hit in the first place!
