Oh, on the topic of lucky, I'm taking inspiration from Dorkknight and handing out LOE on a one off basis for those who want to do a little extra You each get 1LOE for each of the following A good background (so yes you all get that) A good picture of your character A theme song (only one) I'll be offering other assignments as time progresses. So, Ninja, in case you missed it. This is open to you too

Just so everyone is aware I'm changing the game a little to help leska with her work commitments. Basically we came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea to give her a solo thread she could go with at her own pace whilst she was busy.

Honestly, I'm not really much for time lines. I don't read comics much any more and never read that much DC to begin with. Most of what I'm writing is just based on the TV I watch and games I play. Heroes who are public about their heroics are realatively well known, so, Flash, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. Mainly in the cities in which they operate however. Appart from Superman. Everyone knows Superman.
Any specific questions please ask.

Yes actually while more of an antihero I cannot help but think that Swamp Thing might be someone my character would want to consult on this old one, particularly with his connection to the Green. Since Swampthing once turned Gotham into a jungle is he someone my character knows of, or has any way to contact?

I don't see any problem, so do we finish the one we have now or do we make the switch anyway?

I'm open to negotiation on Swamp thing. If you can think up a reason why your character would have heard of him I don't have a problem with it. In fact under the right circumstances I might be inclined to offer 1 LOE if you can put your reasoning into story form and post it in your CAD (think of it as a sort of flashback panel). Swamp thing isn't one of the solutions I'd thought of to this problem, but it's not a bad one.
Isn't he in Louisiana though?

Isn't he in Louisiana though? Yes and no that part is a little odd. Swamp Thing generally steers clear of Gotham because they once charged his wife of sex crimes for being in a relationship with him. Another reason he does not bother much with Gotham is The Green has a different avatar in residence here, Poison Ivy. He does however occasionally come to Gotham furthermore he can be contacted through The Green and can instantly transport through plants by building himself another body on the other side. When he last showed up he turned the whole of Gotham into a jungle. As far as working it into my backstory I already did in a way. When my character was first introducing the thought of Magic he compiled a report for his grandmother in this report were various examples of magic. Gotham being turned into a jungle by a humanoid literally made of magically infused sentient plant matter would have probably made the not so short list. In fact, because they began to collect artifacts of magical incidents it is entirely possible that my character has pieces of that jungle or even some of the Swamp things tubers which when ingested will reveal the morality of a subject by the hallucinations they induce. I could work it into the actual story by having some of that plant matter in the house my character lives in and him realizing that Swamp Thing may know of old ones, or may even be one. As far as contacting him is concerned any mage in DC can do it simply by reaching out into the green and speaking with plants another avatar can do it as well (once again Pamela Isley) Of course, if you would prefer something new to add to the backstory my character did go to college rather early in life he may have done a mystical case study in Louisiana, in the guise of looking at how police work is done in more rural area's ergo expanding his list of techniques. In fact, because of said knowing of Swamp Thing's existence, he may have even tried to seek him out and they could be on friendly terms, that is all up to you. In my head, his whole master's thesis was a dissertation on different creatures and how they have altered the landscape of police investigation, which is what brought him to the attention of Gordon originally. I did not name drop in my backstory so that you could decide how much or little you wanted my character to know but as we discussed in his concepts I did intend to have him somewhat well connected.

Yea... Um... Just read the Wiki you linked in... I'm thinking a degree of luck may be required in any negotiations with Swamp thing if we are taking that as Cannon but if you want to give it a go, I think it will be great fun.

Cool thanks.
Though I did want to know if you wanted me to expand my background to include the trip to Louisianna or leave it where I do not know him before hand.

Anyone mind if I just run through the conversation between Mildred and Captain Dyre without updating everyone else every time?
