Player Name: Beth
Player Pronouns: She/her
Player Contact: terriblepurpose
Player intro: Canadian doomed by the narrative. I have one evil cat and an appreciation of horror, metafiction, wrestling, any stories about people who are just sooo weird and messed up, old sci-fi, new sci-fi, general trash, and assorted garbage.

Character Name: Bruce Wayne
Canon: The Batman (2022)
Vibes: Bruce is the Mysterious Stranger with an Unknown Past, with the compounding issue of that past also being unknown to himself. Think Man in Black for his aesthetics: a cowboy stand-in for a shadow, ominous and looming, except for the fact he's shivering like a nervous chihuahua when anyone makes eye contact.
Memories: All skills, head empty. Bruce's sum total knowledge of himself is his own name, and a medley of Batman-related skills (violence, sneaking, mystery solving, gadgets, first aid) and one Bruce Wayne skill (can play 'Creep' on a guitar).
Initial Plans: Bruce, lacking all narrative memories of his life, will be operating as a kind of blank mystery hunting robot man at first. Having no direction will result in him pursuing any mystery set in front of him just for the sake of having a Task to perform, and he will be vulnerable to latching onto people and designating them as important to him out of a loneliness he can feel but not articulate the cause of. Also, he's going to be climbing on roofs a lot, for inexplicable reasons.
Anything else?:

[vibing]

we need several resident cryptids, good job bruce getting in on that early

excited to be in a game with you again! I didn't know you like wrestling too, camp nonsense like that is perfect for this game.

[umbrosus]

Wrestling is one of the greatest soap operas because it has suplexes when the drama pops off

and it's his pleasure to be the local cryptid scuttling in the shadows

don't perceive him

[vibing]

ur so right
and if youre lucky that suplex is german
and if youre extra lucky the guy doing the german suplex wrote his college thesis on german suplexes so you know hes hot, strong, and hes got smarts

oop sorry my man
towns too small to be imperceptible

[umbrosus]

Well Wrestling Entertainment featuring college educated German suplexes when, is the real question now

What if he pulls his hat down real low

[vibing]

I mean....... hey bruce u wanna start that (we're not toying with a wrestling event idea or anything)

sneaky, so sneaky! he might just pull it off

[umbrosus]

Yeah what if he stitches up some kind of mask or something

[thinkfirst]

a feral cat of a man.... creeping around, hiding out on rooftops, I'm imagining hissing even though you didn't mention hissing???? how does Bruce feel about dawntime desert runs

[umbrosus]

he should still be awake by then so yeah dawn runs sound good...before the cruel rays of the sun can scorch his tender flesh

and there might be hissing, opening Ye Olde Western Dumpster and there's one man and three raccoons fighting over an old boot

[simplefarmboy]

Dude.

Get some sun.

[umbrosus]

no

he'd die

[simplefarmboy]

Nah. Bro. It’s good for you.
Trust me.

[umbrosus]

if humans are meant to be in sunshine why does it burn them?

checkmate

[simplefarmboy]

We’ll get you some sun screen.

[umbrosus]

his skin is too sensitive he'll have a reaction

[sighsheavily]

carefully
puts a blanket on

[umbrosus]

he will remain trapped under the blanket like a pigeon

it's too awkward to escape.

[sighsheavily]

oh no
this is going to make her remember her beloved "i can fix him" fic tropes

[umbrosus]

Bruce "The Dampest Batman" Wayne brings that out of people

it takes a village to keep one emo vigilante from perishing of scurvy or disappearing down a literal well

[rottencactus]

Let's start a Cryptid club where no one knows how to talk to a human being and we lurk in shadowy corners a lot.

[umbrosus]

And in cryptid club, you never have to talk. That's how all the best friendships are formed.

[heronpunch]

Clearly our amnesiac trauma survivors with opposite aesthetics need to meet on a roof somewhere and unwittingly packbond for reasons they can't explain.

[umbrosus]

Ironic that of the "actual angel" and "gargoyle man" it's the actual angel who will kill you without hesitation

[heronpunch]

It's a double edged sword. He would really screw himself up in the process.
