September Meet & Greet!

[rekindlemods]

Hello everybody, it's that time of the month, with apps and acceptances and whatnot! Instead of filling the OOC comms with intros, this is a MEET AND GREET for new players and characters!

• This is a place for you to introduce you and your character. You can ramble on about what you want to do while you're here, CR opportunities, your cats, anything.

• Reply to others about how EXCITED you are to play with them!

• Maybe make some friends!

• The IC intro log will be put up on September 18th!

Here's a little copypasta box for people who like boxes. Remember, it's all optional!

<b><small>NAME:</small></b> Your name/handle goes here! <b><small>CHARACTER(S):</small></b> Who are you playing? <b><small>LJ/PLURK/ETC:</small></b> If you're looking for people to add, put your stuff here! <b><small>PLANS/ETC:</small></b> You can describe your characters or detail some plans if you'd like! <b><small>GIF:</small></b> Insert a gif, dumb video, or picture of your choice.

All sounding good. That lines up a bit with his memory-- Gordon only gets a brief cameo in one episode and there's not really any indication of what kind of relationship he may or may not have with Bruce, but Barbara is referred to in promotional materials as "Dick's oldest friend" so I imagine they were back and forth at each other's houses plenty often. I headcanon that he was exposed to her pretty early on, maybe Gordon was investigating the Graysons' murder and he got to know Barbara somewhere in there. But they go to the same school and Barbara's pretty consistently one of the few who can really, really get the better of him. "She's, like, ridiculously good at everything." And he makes a face.

He loves her, really, he just doesn't know how. |D He's kind of confused on that score, because she kisses him on Dec 1 during a game of Spin the Bottle/Seven Minutes in Heaven, and asks him "Why do you think?"

Gymnastics'll be familiar to him, too. Word of God is that Barbara was a gymnast first in YJ continuity, too, so that's probably their major point of connection-- shared hobbies!

Always good. :D Shared hobbies. c:

This Barbara joined Batman at 16, after several months of "finding herself" - Her dad (One of the canons where Gordon is her biological father - mother implied to be dead) didn't want her to be a cop, so he pushed her into gymnastics... but that was never quite enough for her.

We know it was bee keeping for a while, and then there was protesting against companies who were bad for the environment with Pamela Isley (They were. Pretty close. Like. Ivy - post transformation - wanted Barbara to join her, close. I mean, she was a sucky friend when it came down to it, but there's no denying they both cared about each other.)


After that... the closet thing she's had to a social life is looking extremely bored while at a circus. :/ Between homework, gymanstics, super hero time, and making dinner while Gordon was busy at work - I headcanon that she pretty much had zero social life. 8U Yet alone a romantic one. (Which is part of why Kara's implication of lesbianism has given her something of an identity crises. Barbara spent all that time trying to "find herself," and suddenly realized that she left a whole side of things completely unexplored.)
