Character Timeline ☡ Post Episode 77
Extra Details (a brief description of your AU, game, etc) ☡ Duke Thomas is a metahuman who took part in We Are Robin Movement to try and fix the city when a lot of teens thought the adults were fucking it up (his parents were hit with an incurable joker toxin). In the Batman: Wayne Family Adventures canon AU, Bruce takes Duke in permanently after all of this and living with his uncle doesn't work out. He's 15 and lives in Wayne Manor with Bruce, Damian, and Alfred, but the rest of the family is over regularly. This Canon AU is a bit more light-hearted than the main canon, focusing instead on the family dynamics, but a lot of the events in Prime canon still occurred.

[OOC]
Friending: My plurk is chocolateisbrainfood and just ask me before adding me. I'll probably say yes, but I like to get to know who I'm adding a bit first.
Backtagging: Yes please! I can be slow when work is busy so I will backtag as long as you want.
Threadhopping: Ask first! As long as all players involved are cool with it, I'm cool with it.
Fourthwalling: Depends on the context so just ask me first.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): I'm not offended easily as long as it's clear that the behavior is IC for the character, but flippant discussion and glorifying of alcoholism, drug abuse, prejudice and/or discrimination or other personal topics like that are not something I'm comfortable with playing out without first talking it out. If it crosses a line, I'll let you know and I hope you will do the same.


[IC]
Basics: 16 y/o metahuman who is 5'9", built solid like a boxer. A Gotham native who grew up in the Narrows. Lost his parents to Joker Gas, thrown for years in the mess that is the Gotham foster care system, joined up with the We Are Robin movement and eventually awakens his metahuman abilities AND becomes Batman's partner/protégé, The Signal. And then because BWFA is a nicer, kinder DC universe, Bruce actually fosters him for real and he moves in and gains a whole Batfamily. He is really good at riddles, puzzles, and poetry, and is a lot smarter than he comes across because he gets bored easily in formal education settings. Also a huge dork who is easily flustered by compliments and sibling teasing. Just wants to be worthy of the new family he's gained in all ways. I play him as being bi, but he definitely likes the ladies more (if one failed relationship counts as "more.")

Kissing this character: Go right ahead, but he's a teen and easily flustered.
Flirting with this character: He is probably not going to get it until he does and then he will be all sorts of flustered and confused.
Initiating sexual acts with this character: You could try, but again, he's 16 and will probably not be cool with it.
Fighting with this character: Sure! Just talk to me so we can be on the same page on what to expect.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Okay with it, but again, we should talk so we're on the same page.
Killing this character: Definitely talking this kind of thing out.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Sure, just let me know so I can provide whatever you need!

GHOST VISION: Duke's Ghost Vision ability allows him to see the electromagnetic spectrum in a precognitive state, thus seeing both the past and future. He sees ghost-like images that allow him to follow were the light came from and the things (or people) that interacted with it or will interact in the future in that specific area (he can follow these visions to other areas but he can only see what happens in an area if he is there in it). If you are cool with him using this vision in regards to your character, let me know. Otherwise he'll just never activate it around him.

POWER AMPLIFICATION: One of Duke's other abilities is to cause a temporary boost to the powers of those around him. This can mean making the abilities they have more powerful or causing them to become more varied (like someone who has feline reflexes could suddenly go full on Thundercat). Again, this is temporary, but the ability is not one he actively controls and can turn on subconsciously. If you okay with your character being influenced by this at some time, please let me know otherwise you can just assume you're not affected by it for whatever reason or it never turns on when you are near each other.


Warnings: If you're ever not sure, just asking me is cool. My timezone is EST but I'm busy often until 6pm M-F and Saturdays every so often for RL stuff.
