Introduction

Image

Bruce Wayne had been making a difference. As the caped crusader he'd been bringing order and justice to an otherwise depraved and crime ridden city. As his normal self Bruce was making billions of dollars and using the money to help the poor through the Wayne Foundation. The Wayne Memorial clock tower -- an iconic building named after his deceased father -- was being renovated in Bruce's honor. They were building on five more floors which would make it the tallest building in Gotham City.

The day Bruce Wayne was killed, things took a turn for the worst. Competing crime families took hold of the city. The police now work for the highest bidder. Drug and prostitution rings no longer have to hide in the shadows. Lunatics from Arkham Asylum have been set free. The very rich, as always, have found ways to profit from the chaos. The middle class pretends like nothing is different; if they try to speak out they could become the next victims. The very poor either have to turn to petty crime, or starve in the streets.

You're a citizen of Gotham and you were a huge fan of the Dark Knight. The day he died was one of the saddest in your life. The upsurge in crime has effected you personally. One day, while you're nostalgically surfing some of the old Batman fan sites, you see an interesting message from another user:

"Batman is dead but as long as there are people willing to fight for justice his mission will live on. I refuse to sit by and watch criminals and thugs destroy OUR city. If you feel the same then join me at the Knight's Castle (the 151st floor of Clock Tower).

~Knightmare"

It was well known that the Clock Tower only had 150 operating floors. The additional five floors (151 to 155) were built but still unfinished on the inside and off limits to the public. The extra floors were originally built to be the cities most expensive apartments. The rooms are large and have nice views of the city, but there are exposed pipes, rough concrete floors, unpainted walls, and no furniture. Ever since the death of Batman the construction project had been completely abandoned and the floors had been sealed off. These floors, high above the streets of Gotham, will soon be your new home. Grab a duffle bag, pack light because you're sneaking in.

Toggle Rules

  • No Godmodding, no superpowers
  • Be creative
  • Be literate
  • You can have more than one character but make sure not to bite off more than you can chew. I encourage original characters for heroes but if you want to play a villain it can be a canon. I'm reserving Joker but if you really want him ask in OOC.

Re: Gotham City's New Knights

Is this still going ahead?

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Hello everyone :) I just wanted to say I'm definitely still in for this but wont be able to complete my character for a few more days as I am swamped with assignments for my university courses... but i am still very much in!!

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Yeah real life will get in the way now and again. :P
Don't sweat it;

Looking forward to the intro, reckon this could turn out to be a decent RP!

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

LOL can't wait.

Slight delay on starting this one. I had a problem and wasn't able to be online as much as I thought. Other stuff takes precedent but I'll definitely have the first post up by tomorrow night.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Heeyyyyy a fellow brown coat eh? Haha shiny! Don't worry I may sprinkle a few more references in for kicks later lol

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Alright I approved most of you guys and got my character up as well. Kenzi, once your character is finished I'll approve her. I'll probably have the first post up later tonight to get the ball rolling. Everyone who hasn't submitted a character by then should still feel free to do so at any time, and jump in.

BTW: Bromander If I do a firefly rp I know who to call XD. Lovin the references.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Alright bro, you should have my character app. Let me know when we're starting this thing.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Yeah, I'd perfer it that way Bromander because I usually have a hard time finding good animated characters and I figured we should all have the same type of pic.

Edit:
On second thought someone else is using an animated character, so you can go ahead and use any pic you want. It's not a big deal.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Dude this seems friggin epic. I'm gunna work on my character now. You said no comic pics right? So only living flesh and blood people for our characters??

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

This looks pretty damn interesting!
Also on GMT here, so there'll be at least two of us on the same time zone, reckon we can work around it :P

Will get a bio up in a bit!

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Right, I've finished mine.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Welcome guys.

Robin: I think we can work around the timezone problem.

I added a bit of extra info to the intro:

The extra floors were originally built to be the cities most expensive apartments. The rooms are large and have nice views of the city, but there are exposed pipes, rough concrete floors, unpainted walls, and no furniture. ... These floors, high above the streets of Gotham, will soon be your new home. Grab a duffle bag, pack light because you're sneaking in.


And the character sheet

I'm going to have one of my characters up later tonight. I'm probably going to have 3 in all.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

...

Why not, I'm in!

EDIT: Forewarning, I'm british, so timezones might decide I'm their worst enemy.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

This looks really interesting will you be putting up a character skeleton?

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Awesome. Glad to have you.

I'm going to add more to the introduction post a little later. Just so you know I'm thinking the characters could be in their late teens. The plot would be about their struggle to survive and to make a difference in the process (though neither will be easy). The heroes would all come to live in the Knights Castle early on.

Re: [OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Hi! I'm very interested in joining and would love to take on two characters (one girl and one boy). :)

[OOC] Gotham City's New Knights

Post here if you're interested. Possible plots and characters are open for discussion, I don't have much planned out yet besides what you see in the introduction.
