gothamites; character briefs
Alberto Falcone: [boss] 29, Entrepreneur, Will be the Holiday Killer (possibly). Alberto is an interesting character, to me at least. I think of him almost as like what Bruce Wayne might have been if he'd sunk his anger into bad deeds instead of good deeds, lol. He is the third child of Carmine Falcone and has been pretty much shut out of the family business his entire life. As such, he's jealous, angry, bitter, hurt…a big ball of negative emotions that, in the public eye, he throws into dead-end business ideas, meaningless hookups, drinking, gambling, etc. In private, however, he's got a vendetta against his family and he doesn't want to rest until he's brought down every last Falcone and their minions and takes over that shit. He's tickled pink about his father's incarceration and is wanting to take advantage of the power vacuum inevitably going on right now. He's got his own personal killer, Chas, who spies on the Falcones for him and reports back to him what she knows. He is arrogant, a bit obsessive, reckless but conniving.

Selina Kyle: [mrowr] 25, Socialite and Cat Burglar, Catwoman. Selina had a pretty rough upbringing. Her father was an alcoholic who beat her mother to the point where the only escape she could get was to kill herself. A year later, her father died of alcohol poisoning and Selina and her sister, Maggie, were sent off to children's homes, separate ones. Selina was sent to a juvenile detention center, a decision she never quite understood. It was rough there, too and, after the first time someone tried to beat her up, Selina ran away and took to the streets. She learned self-defense, was already excellent with gymnastics. She learned how to steal what she needed and through everything, she somehow survived, telling herself that one day she'd be able to adopt her sister and they'd be together again. Selina didn't become Catwoman until she saw the Batman in action. After that, she watched him closely and soon took up her own mask. Selina is naturally flirtatious, so you've probably been unintentionally hit on. She's fun and more likely to be one of the guys than the girls.

Ella Nutella: [eluh] 17, Student at Columbia or the Equivalent, Artist, Pot Dealer. Nutella is obviously not really Ella's last name. You may also notice that her history in her bio only consists of a paragraph of her history since Gotham. This is because Ella wants her past so secret that she insisted on only telling Giles and me where she's come from. Throughout the game, she'll be telling people about herself, but we'll find out how good of a liar she is ;). One thing people will notice is that she is definitely Australian. There's no mistaking her accent as she's terrible at disguising it and she's only been here since May, anyway. She's also incredibly tiny, standing at five-nothing. She's kind of crazy, usually best described as chaotic neutral and unendingly fun. Anyway! A month after being here in Gotham, Ella found herself in a high-stakes poker game where she lost every bit of her savings. Not wanting to have to go back to Australia, she found a way to make more than enough money to keep up her living expenses--she started dealing marijuana. First to just her peers, then to her professors and their friends and, by word of mouth, her operation has gotten pretty busy and she's been able to maintain her expenses plus some.

Why are all of my people at least a little bit shady? Why are there no muses in my head that just want to hug you? Anyway, all of them are likely to be seen in the less lovely parts of Gotham. Selina and Alberto could be seen at high-society events. They all go to places like the Iceberg. Pretty much, any plots wanted, we can find a way to work them out! For all of them, I need friends, enemies, past and/or current hookups (Selina and Alberto), professional acquaintances, people from the past (Selina and Alberto), etc. We are up for anything!
