Fandom Gotham: Dystopia

Hm...that is a good idea...I like the idea of Penguin's new plans for Gotham being what triggers The Joker's breakdown. If the next arc is gonna be all about Arkham, maybe we could have him carted off to the Asylum shortly after that happens?

I'd love to RP that first encounter between Batman and The man who would become The Joker! Once we reach that point, it's gonna be awesome!

Harley Quinn Harley Quinn
I was thinking of putting him at around the same age as Brucey Boy, so around 25 or so. Also yes, I'd love to have them meet before he breaks down, that way it'll be all the more tragic when they don't remember each other! Also I don't know why, but between the two of us, I'm seeing a lot of therapy sessions. Maybe after the breakdowns he saw her as a regular psychiatrist? Iunno, I'm just spitballing here XD
I know! I'm so excited!
 
Harley Quinn Harley Quinn

Works for me! Despite it being after his collapse, he's not gonna become the full Clown Prince of Crime we know and love until he gets face to face with Batman for the first time, so maybe when she sees him in the Asylum, he's like, the only one of the patients that's not screaming, banging against the walls, things like that. Like, he's super quiet and seems genuinely happy that he has visitors. Again, just spitballing here XD

Haha I like that! I can imagine that so well x) Its a funny image.
Maybe Harley feels like that makes him less dangerous, making her more vulnerable. Poor little Harls doesn't know what shes getting into.
So hype for this now

Rusty of Shackleford Rusty of Shackleford Yeah I wanna know too :P
 
Why wouldn't you be able to offer more? :) Don't worry about that, please :)

As far as your picks go. Harvey Bullock is a must-have and he is the hero-type character that is going to be there for every story arc. So, by picking him, you're certainly giving yourself a lot of space and time. As for the villains, we'll surely find the means to accommodate them, especially Crane, who could be play a pivotal role in the second arc (the Arkham story), and who could somehow have a part in Penguin's scheme as a profiler or something. Sionis would be slightly more difficult to accommodate this very moment, but he could be a higher-ranking man within Penguin's organization.
I'm pretty poor at directing myself and making plot up as I go along in these types of arrangements, so I always like to give that forewarning. You and Harley Quinn Harley Quinn seem to have a handle on what you want, though, and I can "act" well, as it were, so this should be good for me. Hopefully.

The reason my pick would be Harvey is because, out of the main four you want to have, he's probably the most reactive and, while important, the least absolutely crucial. Harvey would be perfectly content to do the bare minimum as a cop, but he cares a whole lot more than he likes to let on. Or, that's the way I tend to write him anyway. He's very much a foil character.

In any case, put me down for Bullock, Scarecrow, and tentatively Black Mask if that's not too much. And if a character is needed, I might just be able to step up. I'm pretty flexible and varied as far as characters, but Crane is the one I have the most experience roleplaying and writing.
 
MoonLegend101 MoonLegend101 As far as Dick Goes, this RP is set roughly 20 years after the murder of Bruce's parents, so Bruce is to be somewhere between 25 and 30 years of age, depenging on how old Rusty of Shackleford Rusty of Shackleford wants him to be. So, that would make Dick either a kid or, at best, a teenager. I have no objection to you playing him from the start, especially if you can work a subplot with Bruce Wayne, but just keep in mind that Robin won't be there for a while. This said, I am thrilled to have a potential Boy Wonder from the start :)

Aw, thank you so much! (: Yes, I was planning on having him be a kid, probably around about 8, or maybe 7 since Bruce is so young, and that's fine that he won't be Robin for a while! I really appreciate you being alright with me playing him from the start at all, and as long as it'll be okay, I think I'll probably have his timeline be right after his parents died in the circus, since it'd be a bit difficult to insert him in otherwise.

It'd be up to you when exactly Bruce would take him in, Rusty of Shackleford Rusty of Shackleford ! If you'd rather it not be directly after the accident, then I had the idea that perhaps Dick could have been put into an orphanage by the police, and he would eventually manage to escape it and start wandering the streets, aimlessly looking for his parents' murderer and probably pickpocketing a bit too. Perhaps Bruce and Dick could encounter each other then, maybe even during one of Bruce's preliminary missions as Batman, since he probably wouldn't be out on the streets much otherwise. If Batman had gotten a bit hurt or such, since you said he'd be a bit inexperienced, Dick could help him back to his car, and they could unknowingly start forming a bond and connection that way, since Bruce might recognize him from the circus. Either that, or perhaps they could just have a conversation together in order to warn Dick away from getting himself into danger by looking for his parents' killer, and Bruce would start to keep an eye on him that way.

Anyway though, it'd be your decision as to when you'd like Bruce to take Dick in or meet him, Rusty! Just let me know what idea sounds good to you. (: I'm mainly just spitballing too. xD

That sounds great! I was thinking of something like that, with Bruce reluctant to take Dick in due to his trauma. But he eventually adopts him, though Dick wouldn't immediately become Robin. Bruce will be about 28 at this point, so 8 is totally fine!
 
Rusty of Shackleford Rusty of Shackleford OOOH hmm maybe i could take a look for some :)


MainEventMan MainEventMan maybe you could write a little part for the man he used to be, since he wont be normal for too long!
then write another part about the Joker?
thats what I'd do anyway :P

I'm just writing Harley as Harleen for now. I don't know if i'm going to write a part for her as Harley yet, because...I don't know when its gonna happen ! haha
