Denny Colt - The Spirit
Age:36 :: American/Vigilante/Unofficially attached to the GCPD :: Vigilante
Currently in: Gotham


Character Background


Denny Colt was a wealthy playboy who was thought to have died, but was actually in a form of suspended animation. As his coffin was being buried, he woke up, and climbed out.
Realizing he was living on borrowed time, Denny gave up his life of easy living in order to make a difference in the city he grew up in.
Semi-deputized by the GCPD, he's considered a "public secret" by the police, and is generally permitted to do as he pleases.



Raw Material


Always wears a blue suit, white shirt, red tie, and blue gloves and fedora. A black domino mask is his only "disguise" from the bad guys.
No longer goes by his original name, instead living full-time as The Spirit. Takes up residence in a sort of "Spirt-cave" beneath Gotham Cemetary.
No special car, no gadgets, no armor. The Spirit is an old-school boxer and brawler, who settles most fights with his fists, or a brown Oxford shoe.
Considers himself a ladies man. Isn't.
Wants to restore Gotham to the vision he saw it as, when he was a boy. He's idealistic, and considers himself almost invincible, despite getting his ass whooped in most major fights.


Plot Ideas


Meaning to take down a couple small-time thugs, accidentally winds up alerting a whole organization. Hilarious chaos ensues.
Team-up with another non-powered vigilante who is used to more "Batman" methods.
Team-up with powered vigilante, and gets in way over his head.
Facilitate understanding between the GCPD and some of the heroes.
General fisticuffs and tavern brawl antics.



Existing Relationships



Bruce Wayne - Traveled in some of the same social circles for a while.
Commissioner Gordon - The Spirit is the only semi-official vigilante, and while he's considered a joke by most of the GCPD, he does enough good to keep them from giving him the boot.
