GOTHAM CITY
Located in the state of New Jersey, Gotham City is a city founded by honest men and women, but overtime has turned into a city overridden with crime and corruption. Scum. Muggings on every street corner, murder in the streets, and the GCPD is too corrupt to even bat an eye.
Premise
Ok so the basic idea of this roleplay is that it is set in the time when Batman has just appeared. Harvey Dent is still Harvey Dent and not Two Face, the Penguin hasn't lost his eye yet, and people like Black Mask still run half of the GCPD. You don't have to be an expert on the lore to understand what's going on in this roleplay. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me and I'll be happy to help! A Discord will be made when enough people join so the whole group can contact each other a lot easier.
Once we have enough people, we can discuss a plot further and once that is finished I will make the IC thread. Signups will always be open! So don't worry about deadlines, though the rp will have special events that will be held in separate threads that you will need to sign up for and there will be a character limit put on them. These events will serve as ways to advance the roleplay's overall plot. Think of the first Gotham IC thread as a sandbox, and the event threads being the real meat of the story. An example of such a thread will be when Joker shows up.
Once we have a Batman and Joker and we've had some time to let the roleplay set in, I plan on making the very first event thread centered around Joker's first appearance in Gotham City, and him meeting Batman for the first time, as this will be a plot of its own. The threads will be invite only, meaning that you will need to be an active member of this roleplay to get accepted into them. As I said before, there will be a character limit on these. You do not need to make a new CS to post in them, just send me a pm and I'll invite you into it if I see fit. These events will most likely be announced through Discord.
Rules
Of course with every roleplay, there must be some rules laid down so we can all have a good time and the rp doesn't implode on itself.

Rules
Of course with every roleplay, there must be some rules laid down so we can all have a good time and the rp doesn't implode on itself.
- Don't be a jerk. Don't insult other people because of their writing style or character. Everyone roleplays differently. You will get ONE warning on this. After that I will not hesitate to kick you from the roleplay and report you.
- That being said, please try and be somewhat correct with your grammar. I don't want any "im batman u will fere me" or stuff like that. While I'm not asking for Shakespeare, please at least make an effort to allow people to understand what you're saying.
- No metagaming/godmodding. This is a rule for rp in general. I don't want anyone controlling someone else's character or auto hitting someone in a fight. Which also means you can't dodge every punch that's thrown at you. You're not Superman (unless you actually are Superman in the rp). The only people that have control over what happens in the rp in terms events and such that happen within the rp are me or other people I will hand the GM torch over to from time to time.
- OC'S are allowed, though I will not allow any "Mary-Sues". Make them your own original work and don't just have an existing character with a different name.
- No OOC chat within the rp thread. While it is fine if you make a quick comment and delete your post soon after, I don't want any OOC conversations in the IC thread. That's what this thread and the Discord chat are for.
- Another note for OC's, I don't want any blood related OC's related to already canon characters. I don't want "Bruce Wayne's son Bob, the one no one talks about" or anyone like that. If you're gonna have an OC, make him actually original.
- I will remove this specific rule once we have a Joker, since it specifically applies to him. At this point in Batman's career, The Joker has not appeared in Gotham yet. So when you join as him, don't act like he's already been in Gotham a while. The point of this rp is to show life in Gotham BEFORE the Batman made an impact. He's still around, but he hasn't been Batman for very long. Which means that if you are Joker, this is going to be his first time going to Gotham. It doesn't have to be based off of anything, as I want this rp to be as unique as possible.
- I am allowing characters that ARE NOT DC. This means they can be Marvel, Archie, or any other comic related thing. Now that doesn't mean I'm allowing any character ever, but if you're not sure about your character feel free to pm me!
