Batman: Villains

Batman: Villains

Hopefully everyone else is as excited about The Dark Knight coming out as I am! I'd like to do a Batman RP, but since I don't think we want ten different Batmans running around, I think it'd be easiest (and maybe the most fun) if everyone was a villain




Goals
- To kill Batman
-Failing that, to achieve your villains specific aims









Characters

The Rogues' Gallery
The main purpose of this should be to be a villain, and so most people will have to be a villain! Batman has some of the best villains of all time, so hopefully that shouldn't be an issue for anyone. Villains are first-come, first-serve, so post quickly if you've got your heart set on a villain. If you want to be a villain not listed below, then request it. You must have approval to be a villain not listed.

Batman
One person will be Batman. Whoever most people can mutually agree on to play the part fairly and well will be Batman. If no one can agree on a Batman, I will be Batman. Since he is central to this RP, if the person playing Batman is not there to post within 24 to any post made involving him, I will post in that person's place. This is to avoid any slow downs. If neither I nor the person playing Batman posts, then whoever is with him can post again as if Batman stood there silently doing nothing.



Batman will be played by whoever most people can mutually agree on to play the part fairly and well. If not everyone can agree, then I am Batman. I'll also NPC any characters that need to be included but no one wants to be.






Batman Allies
Allies of Batman can be played by request. They include men such as Alfred or Commissioner Gordon. They do not include Superman. Or Robin. Catwoman can be played as an ally by request. The number of allies will be limited.









Killing Batman will not an easy task. To do so will require as much skill, power, deviousness, and possibly outright insanity you can muster as a villain. Alliances, betrayals and death are to be expected in such a game. He has an almost supernatural ability to avoid death and thusly things that seem unfair will be allowed in Batman's case. Don't expect just because you're an expert marksman that you can shoot Batman in the head and win the game just like that.







A lot of stuff. Who's interested? Anyone? Please? :CCry2:

 

[Ser Gregor]

Dibs On Joker!

 

[Wing]

Ra's al Ghul

 

[Sovereign]

Scarecrow.

 

[jediduncan]

I'm actually a little afraid of Sin's Scarecrow already.

 

[Green Ranger]

Catwoman. Seems an odd choice, but she's got a very distinct personality, and the potential anti-hero option is a fun one.

 

[jediduncan]

I was wondering if anyone would choose her or Poison Ivy. Are you going to tell us if you'll play her as a villain or an ally, or will you let us figure that out for ourselves?

 

[Matt]

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

 

[Phil]

Two Face.

 

[Ols]

The Riddler.

EDIT: Am I allowed to NPC Query and Echo?

 

[Green Ranger]

I was wondering if anyone would choose her or Poison Ivy. Are you going to tell us if you'll play her as a villain or an ally, or will you let us figure that out for ourselves?

Depends on how things progress. Catwoman's very unpredictable, though, so if she becomes an ally of Batman, don't expect it to be a permanent thing.

 

[Lavi]

May I have the Phantasm instead of one that is listed?

 

[Not Phoenix]

Two-Face!!!! Me!!!! Please!!!!!

 

[jediduncan]

@ Ols :
Yes you will.

And sorry I didn't make that clear to begin with, but you will be able to NPC control whoever your character would normally be able to control or command. So if you are Joker (Nexus) you can control Harley Quinn. And if you are a crime boss (Maroni or Falcone) you can control your gang.



@Lavi:
Yeah that's fine. Info for Phantasm is as follows:

Phantasm
Real Name: Andrea Beaumont
Secret Identity?: Yes
Knows Batman's Identity?: Yes
Insane?: No
Abilities:
-Adept in Martial Arts
-Fog Generation
-Scythe-Like Blade
-Skilled in Illusion

Unless I made a mistake.



@Phoenix
Two Face is already taken, sorry

 

[Sovereign]

When does this start?

 

[Wing]

I get control of the League of Assassins?

 

[Lavi]

May I have the Phantasm instead of one that is listed?

^ (It seemed like Duncan missed my question.)

 

[Ols]

@ Ols :
Yes you will.

And sorry I didn't make that clear to begin with, but you will be able to NPC control whoever your character would normally be able to control or command. So if you are Joker (Nexus) you can control Harley Quinn. And if you are a crime boss (Maroni or Falcone) you can control your gang.

Ah good. I am especially looking forward to this, it should be very interesting. I better think of some riddles XD.

I think a Riddler-Joker collaberation might be in order...I think that could be very interesting indeed.

EDIT: [Irrelevent]

 

[jediduncan]

When does this start?

Probably today, since we have some people already. If it's already started and other people want to join, they can join whenever.

I get control of the League of Assassins?

Yeah.

^ (It seemed like Duncan missed my question.)

You're in as Phantasm.

 

[Ols]

So should we work on some kind of character profile? (I know the chars already exist, but each char has changed from different appearances, as well as their actual look so it might be worth us writing something brief summarising how we're going to play them)
