Gotham: City of Darkest Nights

The City of Darkest Nights

Gotham City. Everyone knows it's past. A city that thrives on criminal influence. A city corrupt to it's core, and with few rays of hope that shine for the people. In the beginning, Wayne Enterprises sought to bring the city back from it's deepest depths with kindness. A move that almost destroyed the company, it inevitably failed when a mugger known Joe Chill killed the Company's founders. Since that time, crime has reigned. Corrupt politicians stalemate the Police, and due to this many people either suffer or rise up in attempt to do something for themselves.

Most of these people are criminals. Those who thrive, and even rise above the rest in this cesspool breeding ground of crime. But for once another force has risen. He calls himself The Batman. A caped and masked man who seeks to strike fear into the heart's of the criminal underworld. One of mixed opinion by the police and the people. Hero, or menace? That's the question when this man is brought up in conversation. Soon, the people may well get their answer.

For a storm draws near. Arkham Asylum, where some of the world's most deranged and dangerous minds are held has just undergone a massive break out. One unforeseen, and barely controlled by the Gotham City Police. Most of the deranged criminals were locked back inside. Those that were not captured, those who were not once again locked away, terrorize the citizens of Gotham once more. They are the ones who parents check for under their children's beds at night. They are the ones, that despite every effort continue to evade the police and the one they call Batman.

So here we stare at the city that's beyond repair. The City of Darkest Nights.

Game Description

Gotham: City of Darkest Nights is an extreme group game focusing on the beginnings and the follow through of The Batman world. It's envisioned in a more Nolan fashion, where realistic characters and a darker theme is part of the atmosphere. Below will be some basic game information to get people started, as well as a nice map of Gotham to help with placing as we get things moving.

Map of Gotham

Who are The GM's: GnothiSeauton, Black Howling, Lady Lunarius
You Said Nolanverse, are we following the Events of the movies?: No. Picture this as an alternate universe. Similar to Nolan's world, but completely different. The events of the movies never took place. We're free to craft our own stories, and build our characters our own way.
Contacting The GM's?: If you send us a PM, send it to all three of us. I cannot make that clearer.

Game Rules

Real Life Comes First: No matter what. Real life comes first. We don't push people to post. Please be patient with others. Not everyone can get posts out back to back.
Realistic, Nolan-Type Characters: Realistic characters. No magic or super powers/abilities. We're looking to do this in a modern, realistic tone.
Be Civil and Polite: This is supposed to be a fun, drama-free zone. Writing, for many (myself included), is supposed to be an escape from troubles and drama.
Unsolvable Disputes to be Settled by Gms: If there is a dispute between two writers in the story involving their characters and storylines, where both can't come to an agreement, the three GMs will act as impartial judges and try and settle the dispute.
Two Main Characters to Begin: In the interest of creating plenty of open space for more people, everyone is allowed to start off with two characters. There may be an expansion on that limit, but for now, it's just two main characters.
Try to Use Correct Tagging/Warning for Posts: There will be a tags to be placed at the beginning of each post. They contain Name, Alias (If Any), Date, Time, Location, and Warnings. Warnings is to warn readers of any explicit content or non-con/extreme themes.
No Character Death Without Player Approval: If it's agreed upon, that's fine. But no one wants their hard work going down the drain, now do they?
Character Approvals: You must get approvals from two out of the three GM's before you can play.
