1. It's not WHOLD, it's would.


2. The "i" as a subject (I am, I do etc.) is ALWAYS uppercase. ALWAYS.


3. SPACES BETWEEN PUNCTUATION. It's not like this: Cogito,ergo,sum. It's Cogito, Ergo, Sum.

Also,when does the RP start?
You didn't fucking care about what I wrote and you're doing the same errors. Fix your sheet and make it GRAMMATICALLY PERFECT (I accept only two errors). If there are more, you are not allowed to RP.
 
Name: Lyra O'Connor


Nickname/Aliases: Whisper


Age: 24


Gender: Female


Occupation: Inherited family fortune when her parents died, but nowhere near as wealthy as some of Gotham's citizens.


Appearance: <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_08/image.jpeg.8f0f83380f08198291d14975d97a2fb4.jpeg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="149031" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_08/image.jpeg.8f0f83380f08198291d14975d97a2fb4.jpeg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Personality:
Lyra is usually kind and friendly, but can be cruel and ruthless to criminals and gangsters. Honest, but can be a bit stubborn at times


Backstory: Lyra lived with her wealthy parents, and led a happy life until she reached the age of sixteen. It was then she found out that her parents' company wasn't so righteous. She didn't approve, but didn't act. A few months before she reached seventeen, her parents were killed in an explosion in their company's factory.


Police thought it was an accident that there was a gas explosion, but Lyra later found out it was no accident. Upon that discovery, she picked up her sword and headed outside.


Over the next few days, she had tracked down leads to find her parents' killer, and found the rat in a bar, drinking off the money he was paid for the assassination.


Later on, he was found dead in an alley with a slash to the throat. Lyra wasn't satisfied with that. She started to hunt down different gangsters and criminals, killing them each time. It became a profession for her, and she carried on doing it for years to come.


Eventually, she shut down her parents' company. No one would suffer from it any more. The fortune left to her was quite vast. Lyra bought a flat in central Gotham, and from there she started to fight back at the crime that has ruined the city.


Despite seeing what Batman did, Lyra always killed criminals. She didn't think any good would come of letting them live.


Gadgets/Equipment: Lyra usually just wields her sword. She doesn't have much else to use as a vigilante.


Skills: Lyra can scale smaller buildings without much difficulty.


She has a unique ability to remain unseen in the shadows, though it isn't impossible to spot her. (Not invisibility, just quite stealthy.)


Her greatest skill is her swordsmanship. This is her main weapon and defense, after that she would be mostly defenceless.

@Hammy[/URL] agrees on it.
 
Name: Edward Nigma


Nicknames\Aliases: The Riddler


Age: N/A


Gender: Male


Species: Human


Occupation: Criminal Mastermind


Appearance:
th



Personality: Edward Nigma is a highly intelligent human being, he has a rather large ego and believes he is intellectualy superior to everyone. He has an intense obsessive compulsion with riddles and always leaves a clue at the scene of a crime.


Backstory:


The Riddler's compulsion stems from parental abuse that he endured as a child. After Edward got high scores on some important tests in school, his father, unable to grasp the fact that his son was brilliant and believing he had cheated, beat him out of envy. This, in theory, left him with a strong internal desire to tell the truth, and prove his innocence. This desire manifests itself in the form of his obsession with riddles. His madness, as well as his descent into crime in general, may also have roots in a yearning to rise above the anonymity that he possessed in his youth.


As Edward Nashton grew older, he opened a crooked carnival booth involving a diabolical puzzle. The customers would compete to solve the puzzle for prize money, but if they failed to do so, they would have to pay Nashton a small fee for competing. In every case, Edward rigged the puzzle in advance to ensure that the customer would always fail.


Unsatisfied with the small pickings of the puzzle booth, Nashton closed the carnival attraction and a confident Edward announced to himself he was clever enough to use his wits for crime and baffle the upholders of the law.


Nashton concluded he would commit puzzling crimes and always fix the duel of wits between him and the law so he would always win. Donning a green costume covered with question marks, he turned to crime and set out to achieve infamy as the Riddler. At first, the Riddler proves initially successful, launching a crime wave across Gotham City. Batman soon deduced that the new villain was leaving baffling clues for the law in advance of each crime and began acting on the clues to thwart the Riddler's puzzling crimes, although Nashton swiftly evades capture again and again.


The Riddler's last riddle clue asks, "Why is corn so hard to escape from?" Batman concludes that the answer is included in the fact corn is also known as maize, which sounds like "maze" when pronounced. At the scene of his next crime, Nashton fled into a complex maze he had designed to be the ultimate death-trap and challenged Batman, who had entered the maze in pursuit, to escape from the labyrinth before a bomb, hidden in one of the many passageways, goes off. Batman escaped, but the explosion knocked the Riddler off a pier and sent him plummeting to his supposed doom.


But by the time two months had passed, the Riddler made it clear he had indeed survived his fall and resumed his crime wave, robbing cash prizes from a nationwide puzzle contest.


The Prince of Puzzlers was finally apprehended when he gave the citizens of Gotham City a charade clue which he anticipated would draw huge crowds to the Gotham Museum, where Nashton planned to steal some Egyptian artifacts and escape in the crowd. However, he was thwarted when Batman and Robin arrived and captured him before he could make his getaway. After being paroled from prison, the Riddler returned, and wishing for all of Batman's attention, helped the Dark Knight solve his latest case and apprehended criminals he has been preoccupied with chasing. Now with Batman's full-time and attention, the Riddler sent him a puzzling riddle, which convinced Batman that the criminal was out to rob a flawless black pearl from a Gotham millionaire. Batman and Robin seized the Riddler with the pearl, only to learn he had lawfully purchased it with his own money. Later arrested the Riddler as he fleed an art gallery with a priceless relic, Batman was shocked to learn the villain had lawfully inherited it from his uncle.


Shortly after, Batman and Robin figured out the Riddler had given them another puzzle-clue in the form of their two most recent encounters. The first scene of the first encounter being at the millionaire's yacht, the second at the Peale art gallery. Batman discovered there were actually two clues, one set to mislead him and the other revealed the Riddler's real crime. Batman decided that one of the clues was too easily unraveled and must've been a false lead. Thus, the other clue must predict the scene of the Riddler's next crime. Solving the latest riddle, Batman rushed to the scene of the crime and caught the Riddler red-handed in the middle of a robbery, easily apprehending him.


Gadgets\Equipment: The Riddler has a variety of traps that he makes which activate if a Riddle is answered incorrectly. The Riddler owns a cane which can be used to electrocute victims if he so pleases.


Powers\Skills\Abilites: High IQ, Genius level deductive reasoning.


Extra: I am told what to do at night, and in the morning I do as I am told but I still can't escape your scold, what am I?
