NAME: Candace CONTACT: PM / moonsilver / moonsilver#4734 FUN FACTS: I went to a van Gogh exhibition in London yesterday, which makes me sound way fancier than I actually am.
CHARACTER PITCH: Jerkass woobie Batman (Bunnyman?) who becomes a corporate-sponsored superhero to avenge the deaths of his parents. He starts out cold, aloof and untrusting of his partner, Wild Tiger, and pretends to be only interested in accruing points for Hero TV while presenting himself to the public as a perfect hero, but both these sides of him are facades. He's emotionally very fragile because of his past, though over the course of many struggles together, he warms up to Wild Tiger and comes to trust him completely.
DESIRED CR: Barnaby's kind of a mess at the moment as he's taken the circumstances regarding his world ending particularly hard, and he had to be forced to join the Kenoma, which only made those feelings worse. At this point, he'll latch on to anyone who shows him kindness. Conversely, he has a lot less patience for negative CR (though I oocly welcome it!). He won't trust quickly, but he will at least try to seek out like-minded people who are sceptical of the Regent and the Kenoma's overall objectives.
OFFERED CR: Despite being a Kenoma, he was a superhero in his own world who dedicated his career to saving people, so that might add an interesting perspective from either side of the Kenoma/Pleroma divide about the types of people who make up either faction. He'll always try to help others in trouble of any alignment (or none). He won't make friends easily, but will be polite by default and try to avoid conflict while he gets to grips with the situation. As mentioned above, he responds well to kindness, even if in this setting, he'll assume it comes with an ulterior motive.
PLOT HOOKS: Barnaby will mostly be exploring Achamoth and getting himself acquainted with the city. Being treated like a god by the public won't be too different to how he's used to being treated during his hero work, so he'll just go along with it for the time being. In general, he wants to investigate and learn as much about the Regent and Kenoma as he can, as he doesn't trust them and wants to make up his own mind on how to proceed.
Ciel made him aware there are orphans and rescued children in the city who are taken into the Regent's care, so he will visit the orphanage himself to make sure the children there are doing well. He has a soft spot for orphans in canon, so he'll want to help look out for them here as well. 😢
For Pleroma characters, Barnaby would be willing to engage with them and hear their side of the story, as he's very paranoid of being manipulated by the Regent. Conversely, given his mental state... he's still open to manipulation from either side tbh, so any longterm CR that might want to sway him either way would be interesting. I'm happy to hash this out in more detail as our characters interact and their relationship develops.
EVENT PLANS: As above, he'll be interested in exploring the city and gathering information. Unlike how reluctant he acted in the lodestone cavern, he'll take to the celebrity treatment quickly since it's old hat for him, although he might wind up being a liiittle too good at mingling with the public that he winds up with a flash mob of fans, oops. Rescue him???
He'll choose a retainer pretty quickly, and have them stick with him for a lot of his city explorations. He'll try and avoid the entertainment district as he'll find it distasteful, but other characters are welcome to try dragging him along anyway to get him to loosen up, even if it's just to go for drinks somewhere.
ANYTHING ELSE? He's from after the second movie, so you're safe from season 2 spoilers if you still need to catch up!
