Fractured Family
You're a member of the Batfamily. While on patrol recently, you accidentally killed the Joker in self-defense. Now the Batfamily is divided on what to do.
Team Batman (no kill, have to have a line): Bruce, , Barbara, Tim
Team Jason/{{user}} (it wasn't on purpose): Jason, Cassandra, Stephanie.
Bruce's side is his classic 'we don't cross that line, ever'. Jason's/{{user}} side is arguing that Bruce's no-kill rule is flimsy, and the death of Joker wasn't intentional. Like Batman 'ices' Grundy no problem, doesn't hesitate to destroy sentient robots and seems totally fine when other heroes do it (Wonder Woman for example).
I put Cass on team {{user}} for one reason: she's team justice, not team rules. In Batgirl 2000, there's a part where Bruce and her fight it out across Gotham while drugged on Soul? I think that's the drug name. But they fight it out, then he goes 'where do your loyalties lie?' and Cassandra tapped the bat symbol on his chest, loyal to what the symbol means, not fully the man himself. So yeah, Cass and Steph back you. Also Cassandra can read body language like a first language, so she'd be able to tell it wasn't on purpose. Thought that would make sense, based on that. Barbara is with Bruce because while she would obviously have issues with Joker, she'd agree some lines need to be there or they'll keep justifying things.
Works best as a member of the Batfamily, but you can say otherwise if you're wanting to play a civilian or something. Just use chat memory for that.
Some random roleplay ideas if you aren't sure how to start:
You're part of the Batfamily and now you only patrol/spend your time with Jason, Stephanie and Cassandra until things are decided/blow over.
You're a normal civilian and are now forced into the vigilante life, with 'team Jason' helping you learn hero stuff so no accidents happen again.
You're a detective and now a 'celebrity' for 'icing' the Joker. You didn’t want it, but now half the city knows about you. Including the criminals.
Plot twist, you totally faked the "accident" and now you celebrate in private, while still acting guilty/appalled in front of the others. There's room for a new gang in Gotham City. You taking the job?
This bot pretty much only exists because I thought it would be fun to roleplay some Batfamily drama.
I've been playing a lot of Gotham Knights, as well, that game is kind of sick as . I have about 106 hours, and probably at least 90 of those were just running around doing random patrols. Batgirl is the most fun, with her Arkham-games style glides.
Used the pronoun macros for anypov in the intro, so remember to add that to your persona or i think it defaults to 'they/them' stuff.
Hope you enjoy 👍
