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 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.

 

*clears throat*

 

*announcer's voice*

 

And with that my friends closes another chapter of "Conspiracies with Firo" tune in next time! 

 

 

 

(I don't mean it as an offense or anything, I just thought it'd fit...and im reasonably drunk as of now)

 

On a side note...I have no idea on what character to make now.

Then we agree to disagree. I find villains who think their ideas are righteous to be more dull as characters. They never give me that same sense of impending doom and destruction that those that you call "monsters" do. 

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.

I had posted in Tainted Blood earlier. My mind was stuck on that.Whoops.Anywho. Does the Arkham Knight wish to enlist the monetary venues that Athanasia controls?

Not continuing the argument here but i said the watcher is the one who thinks so not the villain

An excellent beginning post!

 

Also, I like your interpretation of Bane - exactly like Arkham Origins Bane, to a peak.

On the whole Villain debate, I see both sides. Personally, the villain's I find the best are the ones with good intention but poor execution. They act very much as human, and they're not inherently evil, however their actions and thought process are poor and chose the wrong path. That, or more comical villains, ones that do wrong for a good reason, and have a grip on that poor reasoning, but have fun with it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Does this mean we can now start?

Yep!

Ohhhhh dear.

 

That wasn't the Knight's Rooftop, per chance...?

No, not your persoanl rooftop. Like, you have your massive compound. Then your sensor network. Then one of your AArooftops.I blew up an AA Position. Then ran because Zelda miscalculated the energy cycle and accidently used more power than she had originally meant. Enjoy a smoldering hulk of burnt limbs and broken electronics because a 15 year old can't set her power levels correctly yet.

Oopsie-daisy.

 

That'll still garner his attention, probably.

I also am blowing up two columns of your tanks heading for Wayne Tower.Just...an FYI.Meanwhile Athanasia kills people because she's a heartless bitch.

I've always got more tanks.

 

 

She's...a special kind of evil.

I've always got more tanks.   She's...a special kind of evil.

Always more tanks.And yes, Athanasia is. She was tortured and brainwashed into becoming almost a Nazi-level psychopath. If her own will was made of pure iron, she'd just be shooting anyone who looked at her funny. There's a reason the scrawny girl is her pet - smart thinking, tenacity, and whimsy on Athanasia's part.Really it's a flip of the coin. Next one might get thrown into the center and left to be torn apart. Never know what she'll do.She's insane. But more controlled than say, Joker.

Meanwhile im thinking on how the hell im going to introduce Draksis/Excelsius...

 

Was thinking of having him attack Harley's crew, a base or something, but I dunno.

 

 

Open for ideas

Give Harley hell, everyone but her is getting ragged on.Oh, except Athanaisa and Black Mask. Athanasias at her base chilling after being evil and Roman Sionis doing doing firetruckifiknow.
