CHARACTER
NAME: Jonathan Crane aka "The Scarecrow" CANON: Batman Arkhamverse, specifically the climax of Arkham Knight LEGACY: The Sovereign SECT: Kenoma
CHARACTER PITCH: Possessed of a cold, and active malevolence, in his own words Crane serves no higher ideology or cause in his study of fear, and the inflicting of it on others through use of his own psychiatric skills or fear toxin. He spreads fear and terror simply for the sake of spreading fear and terror, calling himself “a terrorist in the purest sense of the word”. By Arkham Knight Crane seeks to destroy the legend of the Batman and rob people of the hope his legend gives them by not only defeating the Dark Knight but unmasking him on live TV, so as to rob Batman of his mythic status and reduce him down to simply a man, beaten, betrayed, and crippled by fear. As one of Crane’s own psychiatrists at Arkham observed, the good doctor isn’t actually insane, he’s just pure evil. DESIRED CR: Among the Kenoma, he'll need someone willing to protect him, since Crane is emphatically not a fighter himself, and at least to start, Crane will be deprived of his fear toxin, which he'll need to gain back via the powers system. That said, he does buy into the Regent's philosophy, albeit for self-serving ends (he wants the world to come to be one that is...more favourable to him) so he'll be looking to curry allies who might be willing to help him and don't mind what an odious individual Crane himself is (or are one themselves). OFFERED CR: Among the Pleroma, owing to Crane's source material, I'd really like to develop a rivalry/archenemies situation with someone who becomes personally devoted to bringing Crane down. Someone who witnesses his fear shenanigans being unleashed on people, or has it happen to them personally. PLOT HOOKS: Once Crane gets his fear toxin or an equivalent back, I want to have him start causing trouble for the Pleroma by using it to spread fear. Ideally setting up a lab somewhere where he can perform his experiments, capturing people, exposing them to his fear abilities so he can observe how they react and the effect extreme fear has on them. And ideally a player or two who might be willing to have their own character exposed to the toxin, and the kind of hallucinations they might experience (if you're not canon familiar, I can provide videos of the Scarecrow sequences from Arkham Asylum which has probably the best examples of what being under the influence of Scarecrow's toxin can do). Hit me up if you either wanna help or oppose Crane, please!
EVENT PLANS: If there's a raid by the Pleroma, I wanna have Crane distinguish himself some way, but I'll have to see what the event entails and how he might be able to make a nuisance of himself when it goes up. Even without the toxin, he's a trained (and disbarred) psychiatrist and good at getting inside peoples' heads so if you wanna be psychoanalyzed by a guy dressed up for Halloween while raiding Achamoth, lemme know!
ANYTHING ELSE? Arkhamverse Scarecrow in a nutshell. Behold my most excellent memery skills:
