There's an awful lot of vigilantes in costumes running around in this town. The D.E.O won't stand for this kind of behaviour... not on my watch.
Per Hollie's appeal, count me in.
Rick Grayson is a special agent, former GCPD and Bludhaven cop, never a costumed crime fighter. Originally made him to be part of Checkmate, but if that's changed then DEO sounds good to me.
I wrote up Jason Todd to be the first Robin. He appeared to meet the same fate as he did in Death in the Family, except no body was ever found. File him under villain.
Riiiiiiick you're baaaack
I mean, oh, hi.
Checkmate hasn't changed to the DEO per se: they're separate agencies. The "Department of Extranormal Operations" is similar to the FBI: their job is to clamp down on vigilantes, unmask them, and so on. Sometimes they do that by recruiting lesser vigilantes to help them tackle the bigger ones. Ted Kord (Blue Beetle) is an example of that: it's kind of a homage to the current story arc that's going on in Batwoman.
Checkmate on the other hand is a clandestine organisation, more akin to the CIA. They have no interest in stopping petty vigilantism: rather, they're more interested in using the superhuman and the superpowered as tools for espionage and so forth. We're blurring it together with the Suicide Squad (traditionally made up of vigilantes and "redeemed" villains), which is why Werner Vertigo is going to be revealed as being involved with Checkmate at the end of "The Archer and the Acrobat". Also, Queen Industries is going to be a front company for Checkmate, with her current owner/president William Glenmorgan as one of it's senior members.
We didn't know that you were going to be back around, so we've been working on the assumption that Oliver Queen was the "original" Robin, with the moniker being a Robin Hood reference, rather than a bird reference. That's why Carrie Kelly is going by "Red Robin", to distinguish her from the earlier "Green" version. Would you be cool with Jason being the second Robin, as per the comics?
We're mostly sticking our fingers and humming loudly when it comes to timelines at the moment, so as long as we keep things vague and don't use too many specific numbers, we should be fine fudging whatever.
Made a topic tag because.... because I couldn't resist
Cool. Now is it going to get installed under RP Tags?
Depends on what the admin/s think about another tag
I also started a thread: http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23070 for us Applied Science nerds. Paging... Someone? to the thread. It's open!
Also thinking where to go with another Babs/Rick RP. Maybe another 'Barbara at the library' thread?
