Good job, Harl. We may have to replace GL with you. Lazy ass mother ****er.
 
Nice meeting, NufD. It was short but sweet - with a couple foreshadowing references to Two-Face. :hoboj::up:
 
Alright, Mr. Doom. If you're done with Joker. We'll get that party underway.

Pfft. You fled, knowing Big Bad Harv was about to 'Pwn Joo!1!1' :o

Heehee

And sure thing Byrd, lets get this party started.
 
Alright. I'll post once the sun goes down here on the east coast. My first few Batman post were made a night. And since poster's are a superstitous lot, I don't want to jinx it.
 
Call it OCD, but I was admiring the first page and first post because MB set it up real cool...but there is one thing to fix. :O

God only knows the consequences of me picking up another character, but this is too good to pass up.

Screenname: Syn (Mercenary)

Gothamite you would like to portray: Garfield Lynns AKA Firefly

Class of society: (Choose one) Rule Breaker

Resume: (Brief character biography) Garfield was an orphan, along with his sister Amanda. They lived in an orphanage for most of their young life. Both children hated the parents coming to pick a child, because it only reminded them of the false hopes of a family. However, Garfield always took it much harder than Amanda, developing a hidden rage and anger within him.

Years later, when the two were eighteen, they went on and led seperate lives. Garfield went and pursued a life in visual effects, his mind always stuck on being a part of a fantasy he never had. He realized the dream by working on the sets of movies.

As his career as a visual effects artist progressed, Garfield suddenly found a peace he never had before. He found this peace in the soft embracing glow of the flames from the planned explosions on various sets. Watching the fires dance and flicker made him feel at peace, and gave him a conduit in which to channel his aggression. Garfield soon changed his occupation, and became a pyrotechnition on the sets of the films.

Garfield was happy for the first time in his life. He no longer had any stress, he worked in a nice enviroment, and his job was something that could help him relax. But as the years passed, Garfield soon found that his pyromaniniac obsession wanted more. The work on the sets didn't do it for him anymore, and Garfield soon began feeling the stress and anger of everyday life.

In an attempt to keep his obesssion, and continue his hobby, Garfield began starting small fires of his own. He started small, burning papers in metal containers or lighting small piles of leaves up. But once again, his obsession grew, and Garfield soon found himself fully delving into the world of a pyromaniac.

Now, Garfield still works on the sets of the movies and films as a pyrotechnition. But now, he has a dirty secret. A deadly secret. One that he intends on keeping hidden from everyone for now. He knows his obsession will want more soon, and Garfield is more than willing to give into it, and feed the fire burning within him.

Factoids of interest: (Special attributes - IE: Weapons, attire... anything needed to be known) Wears flame ******ent suit and mask ; carries flamethrower gun attached to tanks of hydrogen or other flamable gases on his body.

Known associates: (NPC's needed to be attached to your character) Sister: Amanda (Kelso) Lynns

Three integral reasons behind choosing the character: 1. 2. 3.

1. I couldn't resist this character for this RPG.

2. Taking a pretty decent villian who hasn't gotten his chance in the limelight in my opinion, and putting him in real life.

3. Pyromania. :pal:


Please provide a brief explaination behind your character's motivations (ex: What does he/she believe in? How does he/she connect with Gotham City? What grinds your character's gears?):

Garfield loves to watch things burn. He enjoyes the smell, the taste, the sight, the warm feeling of the fire, even the sound tantalizes him. His pyromania obsession is deeply routed in him, and it has consumed his life to a point where it is all he has. The only things that aggravates him is anyone or anything that gets in the way of his obsession. And he'll do anything to stop them.

I walk onto the set slowly, carrying my briefcase loosely in my hand. The others are looking at me with an aggravated look. The actors sit in their chairs with the scripts inches from their face. As I walk past them, I see them shooting me angry glances as the lower their scripts. I suppose they earned the right to be mad. I'm an hour late. But at least it wasn't a waste.

"Lynns!" The director yells as he storms out from behind the set.

"Yes?" I respond calmly, hoping my non chalant attitude calms him down.

"Where have you been? It's nine o' five! We were scheduled for eight AM! Eight!" I stop where I stand, and wait for him to approach me. He stops about a foot in front of me, and gets his face right into mine. Stupid old man. He knows nothing of fun.

"I was running a little late." I say with a smile, tucking the pack of matches deeper into my jacket pocket. "Won't happen again."

"Erm." He says with a sigh. He backs up, and walks toward his chair by the cameras. "It's fine, Garfield. I guess it was a simple accident. Didn't mean to burn you like that."

"It's quite alright." I say with a cocky smirk. "I'm used to being put into the fire." Ha. If only he knew.

"Alright, Gar. Just get your stuff set up and ready. We're filming in twenty minutes! And I won't wait anymore."

"You got it boss. I'll be ready as fast as I can." I walk over to the pyrotechnics squad, the group of men I work with almost everyday. They all sit by the explosives, sitting silently, a look of boredom on their faces. The selfish fools. If only they knew what they use can really do. The power it has. The beautiful show they preform. I hate working with these ingrates. But you can't pick your co-workers. I reach back into my pocket, and my fingers feel the pack of matches. My fingers open the lid, and I caress the smooth wooden picks. At least I can pick my friends.
 
Would anyone be opposed to a Jason Todd that was never Robin?
 
No to Jason Todd, the Robin. Jason Todd, the violent vigilante know as Red Hood? Maybe.

That's what I meant, yes. I wanted to know if I could make Red Hood without problems - and if there will ever be the Robin mantle in his distant future. If he's never going to be Robin, then I'm going to age him slightly.
 
Eh, I'm not going to fight this, although I disagree with it. I prefer it over the Nightwing idea.

I thought it might leave less of a sting in some mouths. After all, Jason's actions as the Red Hood display that he apparently learned very little from Batman.
