Third character time.
One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Byrd Man
Character you would like to play: Commissioner James "Jim" Gordon
Powers: None, but has a sharp detective mind and decent with guns.
Brief biography of the character's history:
Born in Chicago and a member of the Chicago PD, Jim Gordon was transfered and he and his wife moved to Gotham City shortly after the murder of the Wayne's. Being one of the few honest cops in a corrupt city, Jim slowly moved up the ranks. When the mysterious vigilante known as Batman came on the scene, he and Jim formed a secret alliance. Since the Batman's arrival, Jim has moved quickly up the ranks, all the way to police commissioner. A crusader for justice, Jim shares the same obsession for cleaning up Gotham as Batman and District Attorney Harvey Dent. Due to his long hours, Jim's wife left him and moved back to Chicago with their son, Jim Jr. Now, Jim lives with his teenaged daughter, Barbara, while continuing to clean Gotham up, one skel at a time.
In Season III. Jim and Harvey Dent took down Sal "The Boss" Maroni and almost had their justice, when Maroni scared Dent and warped him into the villian known as Two-Face.
So far in IV, Jim and the Major Crimes Unit have been waging a war against Two-Face's organization. Also, Jim and his family have recently been victimized by the Joker.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I think I did a pretty good job as Ult. Jim Gordon, and now I can play a version a bit more truer to the comics than my own....also, I left my MCU story hanging, I want to finish it.
What can you bring to this game?: Decent RPer, and chips!
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Trebuchet MS and black

I fiddle with my tie on the rundown bench in Robinson Park. A lone light illuminates the bench.
Tiiiing................................ thap.
"I was beginning to think you wouldn't show."
"Well, there was a fifty-fifty chance I wouldn't make it." My old friend says as he emerges from the shadows.
Harvey Dent, better known as Two-Face sits next to me in the almost deserted park. Neither one of us look at each other, instead we stare straight ahead.
"So, why did you call me out here?"
"My men are taking control of the Narrows and East End. We will run the drug trade pure and simple, leave us alone and your crime rate will go down as my people contain the crime."
"So, you want me to legalize drugs and criminal activities in select areas?"
"More like turning a blind eye to it."
"So, just like that your people will control Gotham's underworld."
"There will be some resistance, but we'll need police help...help me, and I'll help control their wild behavior."
"Why are you asking me this?"
Two-Face jerks suddenly and stares me down.
"I am not asking, I'm issuing a warning. You keep your officers away, and there won't be any problems."
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
"Well...I hope you're ready for the war that will follow."
The two of us remain in silence as he continues to flip his coin.
"Do you know what we are, Jim?"
"What's that?"
"Two men trying to find our place in this game."
"Spare me your philosophical rants. Do me, and yourself a favor and turn yourself in."
"Okay....heads, I go with you...tails, I don't."
Tiiiing................................ thap.
My eyes watch as he holds the coin in the palm on his hand, the scarred and scratched side staring up at us.
"That's fate."
"I will catch you, Harvey. Either me or Batman, we'll get you."
He eases up off the bench and walks back into the shadows.
"You can try, Jim."
Tiiiing................................ thap.
