Screen Name: Shlee
Character you would like to play: Babs Gordon aka Batgirl
Powers: Techno geekazoid. She's very smart, networked, knows her way around technology. She's also highly trained in a few different martial arts disciplines.
Brief biography of the character's history: Jim Gordon's daughter, about 19 years old. She still lives at home, but has recently graduated college. She's a librarian at the Gotham Public Library, and has been training in martial arts since a young age. She put on a pair of tights within the last couple seasons, but hasn't quite made the spash she should have by now. She used to date Peter Parker, but that relationship has ended.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I enjoyed playing Babs in the World of Heroes, but too much background and not enough knowledge really kept me from playing her to what I think could be her full potential. Here in the OU, I can mold her a little bit different than the actual character, and really shape her history a bit differently. Not to mention I actually do have fun when I play her as a young girl/Batgirl.
What can you bring to this game?: A lot of role playing experience, and a fresh take on a character that I really, really enjoy.
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Century Gothic, green. And bold as Batgirl.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as necessary.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?: Yes.
Please provide a sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 5 paragraphs long and contain at least 3 line of dialogue):
Life had been pretty uneventful. No new love interests to speak of, as if she'd want to date some random yokel in Gotham. Besides, no one would be able to keep up with her. Not like this anyway.
A grapnel line shot from the yellow utility belt strapped tightly around her hips and easily wrapped itself around the intended balcony. Pressing a button, the black-clad woman hoisted herself up to peer into the warehouse window from an outside ledge. The glass was dirty and spotted with dust, but she could just make out the dark, moving shapes below.
'
Well, this has to be it,' she thought to herself, reaching up to twist her ponytail around. A terrible nervous habit.
All too swiftly, the girl dressed in a near-perfect replica of a Batman suit crashed through the dirty warehouse window and went plummeting down to the ground, her grapnel line still securely fastened to the balcony outside.
Gunfire errupted around Barbara Gordon, but her keen green eyes narrowed and she released the belt buckle holding her line, doding just in the nick of time. One, two, three karate chops to the pressure points on the first gunman's body and he was out for the count. There were at least three more, so she kept moving, swift and nearly silent.
Luckily for the Batgirl, the warehouse was dimly lit and the smoke from the automatic guns the crooks had created a silvery haze that she could move through, practically unseen. Within a matter of moments, the rest of the gang had been dispatched, their guns piled in the center floor of the warehouse. She dragged all the men together and tied them all up in a big circle on the floor, a triumphant smirk on her face.
'
The GCPD will have one less band of illegal weapons dealers to deal with, hah.'
Without a moment to lose, Babs reattached her grapnel line to her belt and, with another press of the button, drew herself out of the warehouse and back onto the outside ledge. She pulled a small cell phone out of a pocket within her utility belt and pressed one button: 9, the speed dial for 911.

Yes, Police? I'd like to report a crime..."
