https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2Wi0XWIdXAFlashing across the world was news of the unthinkable: Batman's death. Dying at the hands of the Arkham Knight after preventing Scarecrow from releasing a lethal Fear Toxin, Batman was mourned by friends and allies. With the Arkham Knight disposing of Scarecrow and taking Gotham for himself, the city is in state of chaos. And where there is chaos, there are opportunities.Some of Batman's allies are regrouping to try to take back Gotham and bring the Arkham Knight to justice. Also, a city in such dire straits is ideal breeding and proving ground for new heroes looking for a cause to champion. But not only the cream rises to the top. Villains, mobsters, thugs, and monsters are also attracted to Gotham's turmoil, looking to take the city for themselves.The Dark Knight has fallen, but his quest remains. Will you take it up? Or see what he fought for destroyed?~*Basics*~We will be playing in an AU version of the Batman Arkham Franchise, departing the games near the end of Batman: Arkham Knight, where you will play a hero or villain fighting for control of Gotham. Both Canon DC characters and personal OC's are available for play.~*Rules*~1: Emerald Sustrai is senior partner on this. What she says goes.2: While characters with powers are acceptable, don't go over board with it. Thugs with guns must still pose some sort of threat. Someone akin to Spider-Man or Aqua-Lad would be acceptable.3: Keep the rp at a PG-13 range.4: No godmodding, for obvious reasons.5: No killing other players's characters without permission from said player.6: Put "We Are The Night" at the end of your character sheet to show you at least skimmed the rules.7: What ever I forgot in the general KH13 RPing rules.8: Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. ~*Character Sheet*~Codename:Real Name:Age:Gender:Appearance:Personality:Bio:Powers/Abilities/Weapons:Theme (optional):

...I call Sans, first off. You can have Papyrus.Lyonal already gave Zelda multiple high-powered beam weapons, like her buster rifle and funnels and energy blades bound to her gloves, a simple Beam Sword would be of negligible consequences.If the Arkham Knight wants to throw down with a god slayer, be has him. No Henry needed.

Note that most ov the Villain side consists of the deadliest and post powerful(short of alien species that Super Man/Green Lantern's, so on deal with) super villain in DC, including someone who supposedly killed the Dark Knight himself.

 

And a majority of the Hero's are low-experienced noobs with something to prove.

 

Also, I wasn't thinking of actually doing it, Hensel why I joked "there would need to he 4 more villians".

 

Lyonal can get him a beam Saber. Hard refracted liiiiiiight.

 

...You're DARING me at this point to bring in Derik. There is a REASON he is known for killing gods because "firetruck you".

 

There will be no God-Killers.

You think im bringing Henry in to help Derik? hell no Im bringing him if you do just so he can screw with Derik's life...that and the hilarious banter between the two.

Edited November 7, 20159 yr by Scrapmaster

 

There will be no God-Killers.

Trust me, there will be. Even with lack of Derik there will be.

 

Your ban hammer stings, but does not brush me. Does not Crack my bones or crush my lungs, try harder next time!

But we both know they will fight.

 

And we are trying to SAVE Gotham, not vaporize it.

DIE!

Accepted. Glad we have another gang out there in play now.

 

Sry that is my standerd reaction to one dimensional villains

 

Where did that magnificent Johan Liebert go? Or any antagonist that was the "magnificent bastard" and i'm not talking about fails like light yagami or lealouch VI britania.

What's wrong with the Penguin? I quite like his less direct approach to combat, kind of leading from behind the scenes. And the fact that he's in it purely for money, it's a nice straight shot kind of motive.

Well, Henry and Derik don't really care much for collateral damage...I think.

They don't, but moral compass says don't destroy the thing you're trying to protect.

Codename: Last Reich

Real Name: Athanasia Jagdtiger

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality:

A cold-hearted bitch that makes Serin Pendragon look to be Fluttershy, she is from the Old German Aristocracy that backed the Nazis during World War II. Brought up in a hateful place where her kind-hearted nature was suppresssed through torture and brainwashing, she has little regard for human life and sees most others as just pawns in a game. An analytical mind, she is a master of chess, and sometimes sees any sort of conflict as just another game.

Bio:

Born in the city of Essen in Germany, she was brought up as an Old Aristocrat in the family's ancestral castle of Königstiger. At first a sweet girl who couldn't hurt a fly, her parents decided to change that...forcefully.

Putting her through things that would could kill her, they broke her mind and spirit down...then begun to rebuild on their new expanse. Her old personality was long gone and buried, deep within her subconcious, as they built upon her the true vision of the Jagdtiger family.

 

Upon her twentieth birthday Athanasia had mastered German Ju-Jitsu and multiple forms of Taekwendo, from Northern Xaolin to Shaolin. Her lessons were supplemented with fencing, longsword, knife, and shooting. By present day she was a walking arsenal, a soldier of the Jagdtiger Riech, and the last in a long line of children turned into monsters.

 

Upon the death of Batman at the hands of the Arkham Knight, Athanasia was sent to Gotham to expand her family's reach and control. Latching onto a market or two untouched by the other gangs, Athanasia has begun cementing her hold on the Prostitution and Slave Trade within Gotham, and uses the funds from that to begin pushing into other markets. Her final aim is to take over Gotham's Underground. For a newcomer it is a feat many think is impossible.

 

But for Old Aristocrats who backed the Nazis, the impossible is a dream one must tear from the hands of everyone else. And Athanasia is no different.

 

Powers/Abilities/Weapons:

Hand to Hand: A Master of German Ju-Jitsu, Northern Xaolin, Shaolin, and all between those realms, Athanasia is a walking weapon.

Swordplay: A master of Fencing and longswords, she carries a rapier on her hip and when needing to get a point across, a massive longsword on her back. Her rapier, Sturmwind, is her prized posession, given to her by her father before leaving for America. http://orig00.deviantart.net/be41/f/2007/305/1/3/rapier_by_vandred.png]STURMWIND][/url] Her Longsword, Tonnerre, was a gift from her mother. TONNERRE she has mastered both sword styles for them.

GUNS: Despite mastering swords, Athanasia loves guns. She carries a specially engraved Heckler & Koch .45 ACP USP pistol her Elder Sister gifted her on her twenty first birthday, two Heckler & Koch MP7 submachine guns, and a G36A2. All have flashlights, laster dots, and the SMGs and rifle have adjustable scopes.

Vehicles: Despite having her family backing her, Athanasia had decided to not flood the streets with an impressive display of armored vehicles. Using a MOWAG Eagle III as her main form of transportation, Athanasia also owns a Leopard 2 MBT. Just in case. She's in the market for a helicopter, but she can't decide.

WE. ARE. THE. NIGHT.

 

 

 

Going to add one more villain to the mix. Because we need more gang wars!

Edited November 7, 20159 yr by Sabre Lily

I could write in Kain, a sadistic, abusive, saito-masochistic man driven by lust, greed, and mild insanity, and made his first "RP" appearance in Tirain.

 

Derik's first actual enemy that posed a threat. Technically Snow from Tirain is also Derik's first "friend", but their relationship is cut short after Kain murders her for even daring to breath air that has Derik around it.

 

Snow has had everything under the sun done to her by Kain, but of course we don't talk about that. 

 

Or I could bring in the always omni-potent Gordon. Here he would have a sort of similar to Penguin style, being Mr. Moneybags, but with a lot more reason and conviction. 

 

However, I hate playing a villain.

 

I could always revive Rey, who is my RP balanced clone of Derik, or I could always go with Ziio, whom is strong in her own right. 

 

...Naaaaah.

Yeah no. Athanasia is a Heartless monster but even she draws the line at 75% of what Kain did.For now.

How many gangs are we gonna have running around?! seriously theres more than 5 factions already.

Penguins, Jokers, Two-Face, Arkham Knight Militia.Uh, that's about it tbh. Unless I missed one.

you missed bane's

We've got Penguin's Forces, Harley's Gang, Two-Faces Crew, Bane's Mercenaries and the Arkham Knight's Militia.

 

There's a lot of shit.

Edited November 7, 20159 yr by SuperiorKunivas

Accepted. Glad we have another gang out there in play now.

 

What's wrong with the Penguin? I quite like his less direct approach to combat, kind of leading from behind the scenes. And the fact that he's in it purely for money, it's a nice straight shot kind of motive.

 

I'm just saying the way these villains are presented is in a manner to make you hate them. For example the penguin just screams "hate me" where as a classy villain such as the before mentioned Liebert makes you genuinely be afraid and to some extent cheer for him.

 

The thing is that he could be made decent but the one who wrote him was just putting him there to be hated.

you missed bane's

Ahh, a good list.

 

Also, I don't think I'm allowed to accept anyone.

 

I maybe the main villain of the RP, but I haven't been given RP GM/Co-GM Permissions. You'll have to ask Rikunobody or Yuffie.

SO yeah, a healthy number of factions to choose from, meanwhile the hero faction is running like headless chickens that and the GCPD which is...most likely weakened...a lot.

I'm just saying the way these villains are presented is in a manner to make you hate them. For example the penguin just screams "hate me" where as a classy villain such as the before mentioned Liebert makes you genuinely be afraid and to some extent cheer for him.

 

The thing is that he could be made decent but the one who wrote him was just putting him there to be hated.

That's the point of a villain though, to be hated. Villains like Kefka, the Joker, and Sylar are all purely hated, yet that is the same reason they are enjoyable characters. Not to mention they cause genuine fear.

 

Whoops. Okay so.

 

Gangs;

 

Arkham Knight Militia

Penguin

Two Face

Black Mask

Bane

Jokers

Streifan von Tigern

 

Five, ranked for biggest to smallest, most of them are guesswork and if I am seeing this right...

 

Arkham KM: Military Duties and total control

Penguin: Gunrunners

Two-Face: Bank robberies

Black Mask: Corruption, drug dealing. Mafia stuff.

Bane: Uh. Misc strong arm crimes? Possibly a monopoly of steroid gyms?

Jokers: Terrorism

Streifan: Prostitution/Human Trafficking

 

All aspects are taken pretty much, making each slightly balanced.

 

 

Edit:

 

 

KUNI! Is Athanasia accepted?

Yeah... Joker does terrorism, sounds about right.

And from what I understand, Bane gets money mostly from mercenary work.

 

And for any wondering. Two-Face's crew will likely play a minor role unless someone takes him as a character.

 

Ahh, a good list.

 

Also, I don't think I'm allowed to accept anyone.

 

I maybe the main villain of the RP, but I haven't been given RP GM/Co-GM Permissions. You'll have to ask Rikunobody or Yuffie.

Oh yeah, I have like a job. Psh...

I disagree. That is not a villain that is a "monster" a villain is someone you are supposed to be pitted against and i agree with that but that doesn't mean he cant be likeable. In fact Joker could be so much more than just a person you hate. If everything is vanilla it is stupid since i think we've all experienced a little to much of it.

 

To have a decent villain you need a redeeming quality to make him believable thus giving a person true fear since you believe a person could actually become like that.

 

An irredeemable "monster" is about as bland an antagonist you can get. You might as well make it completely mute and have no personality and it would still give the same effect.

 

In fact villains (the good ones) are often proactive while heroes reactive. Heroes usually support the status quo which is in my eyes beyond stupid. For example democracy that heroes protect is just a dictatorship without voting. I actually see the villains as more positive since they bring progress regardless whether it be good or bad. Thus villains are actually more just than heroes and thus should presented as humane.
