Physical Description

Bruce Wayne has a charming, very handsome appearance. His skin tone is fair and even. Hies eyes a hazel hue, stuck somewhere between brown and green. He has brown hair, and favors athletic clothing or three piece suits. Though when he turns to Batman, the charming voice is replaced by a rugged rasp. His voice goes deeper, his charming smile absent. His Armored Suit is the only clothing he's seen in. His face concealed, and known only as The Batman to both his allies and enemies alike.

Persona

Bruce Wayne is both Charming, and slightly enigmatic. Toted as a playboy, he comes off just as smooth as the title would imply. He's confident, though sarcastic in his wordings at times. In business dealings he can throw out a practiced apathy to throw off the competition. And through all this, his multiple donations also mark him as a kind and caring individual. As Batman, he's rough around the edges. Though his sly nature can come out in witty one liners at times, it's more serious. All about business. Still Batman is a driving force of justice. This perhaps more then anything defines him as a person.

Key Skills

• Master of Hand to Hand Combat:' Having been highly trained before it was honed by The League of Shadows, Both Bruce and Batman are deadly in hand to combat.
• Old World Weapons: While he rarely uses the entire arsenal he's trained in, he is well versed in the use of swords, Knives, Bows, Bow and Arrow and all manner of Thrown weaponry.
• Detective:From his time spent among Criminals, and training by Ra's Alguhl, he's managed to learn how Criminals think. With this he's better able to deduce their actions, and discover what they have done, and are truly up to.
• Athlete: His training has left him on par with world class athletes. This is key to how he can perform the acrobatic jumps and the daring climbs he performs.
• Gadgeteer: He has a near intuitive knowledge of how the Gadgets he's supplied with work. Couple that with an 'instruction' manual and he's well versed in their uses, repair and modifications.
• Economics: Being raised as The Prince of Gotham didn't leave him without extreme knowledge regarding finances and business practices.

Advantages

• High Physical Ability: He's not the strongest, fastest or toughest man alive. But, he holds a near disturbing mix of potent Strength, agility and endurance.
• High Pain Threshold: Bruce can endure a tremendous amount of punishment while still functioning.
• Strength of mind and spirit: He's not uncrackable, but with everything he's been through it's extremely difficult to crack his mental armor.
• Resources: Being the owner of Wayne Enterprises, and a billionaire, Bruce has near limitless resources to fund his operations and help in keeping his identity a secret.

Disadvantages

• Secret Identity: Bruce Wayne will go to some extreme lengths to keep his true identity a secret.
• Code of Honor: His sense of Justice, and moral code are what makes him who he is. However, this is the very thing that leaves loose ends and can be used against him.
• Post Traumatic Stress: It rarely creeps up anymore. His armor holds the majority of it back. Yet in dire circumstances, or when under the influence of mind effecting toxins, it does come to the forefront. It also plagues him with Nightmares.
• Borderline Personality Disorder: It's just the secret identity that keeps Bruce from pulling off the stops the Batman can. It's also the symbol. This leaves him vulnerable as Bruce Wayne to anyone that can find out who he is unless he has time to get past it.

Background

The Prince of Gotham started as just a boy who was born into the richest family in the city. His early life was very good. That is until mugger Joe Chill held up his parents when coming home from the theater. The boy watched as the twitchy man shot both of them before taking off with his spoils. If it wasn't for the kindness a social worker, and what would become Commissioner Gordon, gave him that night. Well, he may never have become the man he is today. He was raised from there by his butler, Alfred pennyworth in wayne manor.

From there, Bruce never had much in the way of friends. Around age 19 he began a global Sojourn to both find himself, and understand the poor and downtrodden. He spent time among criminals, studying them. Also studying the martial arts for use in defending himself and others. This lasted for years, until one night he was in a foreign prison camp. There he was approached by Ra's Alguhl. The exchange was veiled, but he was convinced to come see about joining them. The strange initiation was a throw off, but they convinced him to work alongside them to stop criminals.

Bruce's training directly under their leader lasted a long time, but eventually he bested his trainer while under the influence of a mind altering substance. From there, the true intentions of The League of Shadows were revealed to him. Unable to accept it, or death at their hands, he chose another option. He fought, and with the very training they had given him, he bought down the League of Shadows. He then left, contacting his loyal butler to inform him that he was indeed alive. And making his way back home.

Bruce faced some initial trouble when he came back. His company was being taken from him, though his shares were luckily in the hands of Alfred. Through maneuvering, and the name his parents had made, Bruce took back control of the company. He named a trusted CEO and then went into planning. He established a base of operations beneath Wayne manor. Used tools and gadgets from Wayne enterprises to establish an Arsenal for his fight against the scum that permeated the city. Though he vowed to rid the city of them in a just way, one where they would stand trial by those who would and could convict them of their crimes.

Since then, he's made a few appearances on the city. The Batman, while a known figure, is still being considered an urban legend by most. A photo of him has been snapped only once. Published in the Gotham Times to attract attention, yet the police are still denying the existence of any such vigilante.
