Are you a fan of DC comics? Do you like AUs? Do you want to do something different with a canon character and make them your own?

With all of the different interpretations and unsatisfactory reboots, it can be a lot of fun to keep the core of a character and reimagine them. Eddie Nigma, here, is pre-Riddler, in a Gotham City that doesn't have a Batman quite yet. They are already getting involved with crime, but haven't taken up a villainous identity at the moment. They are also determined to make themself a riddle, purposefully being as androgynous as possible and never confirming a gender in order to keep people guessing.

What could you do with a character? If you "rebooted" someone, how would you toy with the concept?

As stated, this AU is, at least at the moment, pre-Batman. If we get a Bruce Wayne, this could easily change, but at the moment, most of Gotham's supervillains probably haven't made their proper appearances. But that's the only limitation to all this. What you do with your chosen character is up to you; as long as your concept is fun (for you!) and the character is recognizable even with their changes, go wild!

I would, obviously, be very happy to see other Batrogues, Bruce Wayne himself, or any of the Batfam. But I'm a big fan of other titles, heroes and villains alike, and when there have been so many crossovers and characters shifting canons, there's no reason not to include others! Want to bring in Hawkgirl, or the Pied Piper? They're welcome, too.

Play can take place on either Livejournal or Dreamwidth. There are, after all, dressing rooms, meme comms, and the possibility of personal journals or 'verse comms on both! I am just really excited to see what people come up with. ♥

Anyone interested?

I am just going to sit over here and applaud this idea

[all_is_riddle]

Well, I am just going to be really flattered. Thank you!

[slayers_desire]

I have played a Harley and an Ivy before, so that is why the thread peaked my interest. So tempting...

[all_is_riddle]

I feel as if I should be tempting you further. Because both are very good options.

Tempt, tempt.

[slayers_desire]

The temptations... they are so hard... to resist...

[all_is_riddle]

Oh, good. Really, if you get an idea for either of them, it'd be fun! I'd be happy to see a Harley or an Ivy, and I'm sure either could get some interesting CR with Eddie here.

[slayers_desire]

I shall think of it. See which one reboots easier in my head.

[all_is_riddle]

Awesome awesome~

I look forward to it!

So I went with creating a Pamela account. :D

[all_is_riddle]

Oh gosh, a Pam! I'm excited to see her~ Love the username!

[pretty_poison]

Thank you. I was glad it was open :D

Still looking for roleplay?

[becky_albright95]

Are you still looking for roleplayers? I play a Becky Albright, she is from a Scarecrow comic and though I have yet to find a Jonathan Crane for her, I definitely don't mind roleplaying with a Edward, or if you are open to pairing him up with someone I could create an OC. I para to multi-para, in case you want to know.
