Somebody order a sass machine?
Hello game members! I'm Kevin. Bringing in this lovely lady from The Batman - a cute little animated series about a boy and bats. And criminals. And this girl over here. Also, someone named Robin, but he joined after Batgirl and we don't talk about him. :|
...More seriously, for those of you familiar with the comics: Babs here is basically a mixture of the traditional Barbara Gordon and Stephanie Brown. She's an Olympic-hopeful gymnast who's police-commissioner of a father didn't want her to become a police officer (because danger. D: ) So she put on a bat costume at sixteen and started stalking the dark knight around, instead! That was S3 - which started off with babs being besties with one Pamela Isley, AKA Poison Ivy. (But that's a different part of the same story.)
She's coming to you from S5. Robin's joined, as of S4, and Babs has... mostly accepted his existence. They still tease each other mercilessly, though. She officially knows Batman's identity, has been given full access to the bat computer, and basically treats Bruce's mansion like it's her second home. Or maybe third, since she's living in the College dorms. She turned eighteen a few months ago - NOT THAT BRUCE NOTICED. :|
She's actually coming here from an episode known as The Terrible Trio, right after realizing that Batman didn't even know where she went to school... he hadn't even realized that she graduated high school! (Sorry, Bruce, but someone is peeved. At. YOU. :| )...She'll get over it, though. Like always.
She doesn't know what the heck is going on, or what she's doing here. But rest assured, she's going to find out. <3

(Oh, and for those who want to skip the tl;dr and just say hi, you can catch me at dragon8writer on aim and or plurk. Just send an IM if you're going through AIM, because Pigin is weird with these things. <3 )

(I ended up in your D_M after someone on plurk declared that everyone had to help recruit this amazing Harley they had found. :P )
no subject
My AIM is ibechibb btw for plotting purposes.
Recruit me for what?
no subject
(The Cass, Alex Summers, Poison Ivy, and other Barbara Gordon you met are all players there. ^^ I play Faith, and Red myself, there.)
...And of course there miiiight have been a little part of me wondering what it would be like to have you at
no subject
Well as it stands currently I play about 12 characters across five games. So my plates a little full, but a couple of those games have been struggling or slow lately. So let them know when a spot opens up They'll be first on my list :)
no subject
I'll totally let them know! (And I totally understand. :D )I'm a little over filled, myself, but this game seems like a good pace - and I'm thinking of dropping a couple others if need be, anyway. ^^;
no subject
I'm Dee and I play three characters here at this (not so) little game: Albert Wesker from Resident Evil, Wyatt Earp a slightly AU historical figure, and Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
no subject
I suspect Babs will like Lara. ;; (Hello female role model who isn't evil?)
no subject
And really, they're not that far apart in age. Lara's only about 21 in her new incarnation so they could totally do fun sisterly-bonding.
no subject
She's just happy that she knows a woman who's not a criminal. ;; (Seriously. I don't think Babs has bonded with a single woman in the entire series who didn't end up as a crook. :| Possibly because she's the only female character who... isn't a crook. >,<
Well. Except detective Yin. But she mysteriously disappeared at the end of S2 to make room for Barbara. >,> Never heard from again...)
no subject
Welcome to the game! I'm Mel! I play Cinna (
no subject
You should totally catch it. It's pretty different from... well, any other medium, far as I know - but it's cute! (And has occasional moments of startling depth...)
It's nice to have Babs in the game!
no subject
I've heard really good things about it so I really should. o.o
no subject
So I mostly app her when I see the potential for really amazing CR. <3

Hi! I play Diana, obviously, from the comics pre-reboot, as well as Momoko from Kamikaze Girls, Alpha from Dollhouse, and Valeria, a Stylist OC.
no subject
Also. Oooh, Alpha! And. All the people. <3
Your new Harley somehow recruited me. I'm glad to be here. :D

I'm Te, I am one of the mods, as well as playing Effie, Lottie, Elias, and De as well as some NPCs (Including Katniss, if you do end up playing Prim)
no subject
no subject
though having her here is uhh...not really awesome in her mind either.no subject
...I'm sure I'll end up apping her eventually. >,> (Whether Ruby is first or second, I do not know, but... I can't very well resist letting Katniss see Prim.)

HI HI HI also you're awesome and are the only other The Batman Babs I have yet seen and that is also awesome - not that there are so few, but that you PLAY her she is fabulous.
... Hi I'm bluemoon I play Brucie here, who is from Batman the Animated Series, and who is fresh from meeting Superman, which as a quick rundown means: he's dating Babs, he and Dick are not on the best of terms rn, and there is a bitty new Robin named Tim.
no subject
Everything is so different. D: This is going to take some getting used to her for. ;;
no subject
seriously wtf is up with him >|no subject
(He sort of comes around, but then the show all but excludes her, and it's just ugh. Barbara just wants your approval in this one thing, Bruce. D: JUST VALIDATE HER AS A CRIME FIGHTING PARTNER.)
She has a post up, by the way - but if you'd rather, they can just meet in the arena as they fight over a rope. ;;
no subject
Because lbr, in The Batman she's about 10x as bamf as he is. Brucie I love you but sorry baby.
BUT YES NO THAT WILL TOTALLY HAPPEN TRUST ME. In his canon, for like 2+ years Babs was his official, dedicated, and moreover only partner and still Valued Member of the Organization even after he picks up Tim and Dick sorta starts kinda coming back and he is going to treat her as such. All the dragging in and delegating. AND TRAINING TOGETHER. THEY WILL DO THIS.
Be happy Babs.
She can help him use those unlimited funds they've got to slowly set up the batcaveno subject
Also - BATCAVE!!!! Bat-things make everything 100x better. Truefax!
no subject
The hard bit is that whole constantly on camera bit but. Yes. Guuuuuurl you'd better roll up yo' sleeves because we are gonna get some TRAININ done.
no subject
That's the other thing: Her bruce never really trained her. ;; I mean, she got some time in along Dick, but... Babs pretty much had to figure out for herself how to convert gymnastics into fighting techniques. :|
no subject
And yeah no that won't cut it here. Gymnastics = good. But they are gonna spend so much time training martial artssssss
