Semi-Mandatory Info Request

[Avalikia]

So, as everyone knows we've had the very good problem of having a very large number of characters running around for many months now, and as everyone can probably imagine it can be hard to keep up with everything that everyone is doing. And since I know that it would be incredibly useful for me and Batman's player especially, if not everyone else (your answers may help trigger some RP ideas), if we could fix that somewhat by having everyone answer a couple of questions that's exactly what I've decided to do.

Therefore, I'm asking everyone to post here for each of their characters the answer to two questions:
1. What is your character up to right now?
2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

If you're unsure of how to answer either question, I've answered them for my own characters below so you can see what kind of answers I expect.

A quick note on some definitions:

• You NEED Batman if: The situation is calling for Batman (or Bruce) and none of the other vigilantes could substitute very well, or if you're in a spot where it's become just plain weird that Batman in particular hasn't shown up yet.
  
• You merely WANT Batman if: You basically need any good guy, or some other person can do the thing you need, though you think it would be really cool and awesome if it was Batman.
  
• A CURRENT situation is one where: You're doing a thread about it right now, or would really like to start one ASAP.
  
• A FUTURE situation is one where: You have plans in the works for something that will happen in days, weeks, or months but aren't ready to do anything about it immeadiately.

Also, I'm calling this 'semi-mandatory' because, since it'll be incredibly helpful and it won't take much of your time, I'm expecting a response from everyone who sees this. And if I know that you're around and haven't responded yet, I will poke you until you do. And it's easier on both of us if you just get it done now.

Pamela Isley - Poison Ivy:
1. What is your character up to right now?

She's rotting in the Arkham Asylum, being all depressed about being caught by Nightwing. She'll escape sometime, but I'm not planning on it happening soon.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

At the moment, nothing. In the distant future, after she escapes and has had some time on the run, I'd like to have a proper Batman/Ivy showdown, but that's probably many months in the future.

Nina Stenet:
1. What is your character up to right now?

Not much - I'm mostly in a holding pattern with her until other people who have been plotting with me need her in something.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

Nothing at this precise moment, but I suspect that Nina will need a chat with Batman soon thanks to what Selina has been up to - she's one of the people mentioned in question #1.

Shayera Hol - Hawkgirl:
1. What is your character up to right now?

This character is still considered to be on hiatus.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

Nothing at the moment, but after I get Phoebe taken care of I'm planning on bringing her back to Gotham and she'll definitely need at least one chat with Batman at that point. When that will be depends on how fast things go with Phoebe.

Phoebe Knight - Force:
1. What is your character up to right now?

She's basically been hanging out at the manor, interacting with anyone she can.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

I need her to be chatting with at least Batfamily members right now so that she can be making some progress - and Batman in particular would be far more effective in this than anyone else. It seems weird to me that he hasn't pried into her past much yet or tried to figure out what to do with her beyond giving her a place to stay.

Heather Glass - VerMillion:
1. What is your character up to right now?

She was recently rescued by Scarecrow from the Penguin's secret prison, and we've also jumped ahead a little into a thread where they've been caught and thrown into the asylum by Nightwing, since we know that's going to happen and we have many plans for them while they're there.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

While there have been a few points where I'd say that it's odd that Batman hasn't shown up, at the moment there's not much room for him to interfere in the course of Heather's plotline unless we do something extremely for kicks. Eventually she and Jon will escape from the asylum, but until then she's not going to need anything from Batman.

Iris Ledford:
1. What is your character up to right now?

Nothing especially noteworthy - her threads lately have been her doing her job or chatting with a certain prospective love interest.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

She's not really a character who ever needs Batman unless she needs to be rescued or something, at least as far into the future as I can see.

[Dick Grayson - Nightwing]

Dick Grayson - Nightwing:
1. What is your character up to right now?
Currently Nightwing is in the starting process of getting the Outsiders up and working together. He is recruiting new members as he meets them. And he is working on becoming a police officer in Bludhaven.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?
Nightwing will always have his run ins with Batman. He is his mentor after all. But with the start of the Outsiders, this is a team lead by Nightwing, with missions sometimes given to them from Batman. Currently, Nightwing is helping to watch over Gotham with the growing crime rate.

Kara Zor-El - Supergirl
1. What is your character up to right now?
Kara is in between joining the Outsiders and her own work. She's in the middle of an identity crisis.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?
There is possibly a need for Batman or other members of the family. With her evil side running a muck, there's not telling what could happen.

[Jonathan Crane - Scarecrow]

Jonathan Crane - Scarecrow

1. What is your character up to right now?

Heather is back in the hands of The Scarecrow and he is also currently holding Starfire captive, under his complete control. She's being held in the sewers against her will until someone comes to save her.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

....Batman would do well just to stay out of my way. Unless....Unless he just can't resist the truth.

[Oswald Cobblepot - The Penguin]

Oswald Cobblepot
1. What is your character up to right now?
Enjoying his empire of crime, dating Lola. Generally living a life of luxury while stepping on everyone below him.
2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?
Doesn't specifically need Batman. Could be nice in the future to have some of the vigilantes bothering him, perhaps in front of Lola, but could be any of them.

Brynmor Jerr
1. What is your character up to right now?
Randomly fighting crime, hanging out with the homeless or living in one of Batman's safehouses. Also bugging Wulfen.
2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?
Can't imagine it would have escaped Batman's attentions that he's living in one of his houses for this long so could do with some rp to that effect.

Joan Leland
1. What is your character up to right now?
Working at Arkham and carrying on with her normal life, bit in limbo.
2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?
Doesn't need Batman for anything currently.

[Kory Anders - Starfire]

Kory:

1. What is your character up to right now?
Its just passed a year since Starfire's return to Earth. There's been a few shifts. Mostly the shift of city. From Gotham to Bludhaven alongside Nightwing as well as being a titan, now a mentor for the up and coming teen titans... Most recently Starfire has succumbed to being abducted by Scarecrow and is within his control. What torment he will have Starfire cause within the city of Gotham is yet to play out and is yet to see what after damage this will cause. One thing is known Starfire will be free eventually. By those who may love her the most.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?
There is very little if anything Starfire needs from Batman, she does respect him, but they don't exactly see eye to eye. Her dealings and relationships lie more within the Robins. Dick grayson her once again and current boyfriend. Jason her future partner in crime and Tim one she will mentor as a titan. But whether or not Starfire seeks it, she is bound to cross paths with Bruce/Batman on any given occasion. Just nothing set in stone.


Zahira:

1. What is your character up to right now?
Right now getting to know the city of Gotham and what place it holds for herself. She is just yet to find the correct questions to her answers. There could be more than she expected to learn here or there could be nothing but crumbs. But this was where her father was born. If anything just a connection. But because of her just recently arriving. There is also many with a question as to who exactly is the serpent and her intentions? Is she good? Can she be trusted? Currently getting into a battle with Man-bat, which might just raise her position in the city or make her fall further into the less nice questions.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

Personally she has yet to cross paths with the Dark Knight, but she certainly is aware of him, Even so much as getting to his bat signalled calls before he did. Is Serpent planning to get his attention? If so? Why? Stealing Nightwing's bike might have added to the radar as well at the rather interesting encounter, that one is sure she made sure he didn't forget the creature he had stumbled upon. You don't just walk into Serpent's targeted areas without proper warning. Though Nightwing might have proven himself in the end, but Zahira will always be aware. So there it is defiantly likely she'll come in contact with Batman. Just all a matter of when and where.


Harriet:

1. What is your character up to right now?
Right now? Harriet is young woman, recently moved into the city of Gotham. So to be closer to her mother who is currently in the hospital. It is unknown how long she will be in there or whether she'll leave n go back at different times. Harriet also had taken position in the deli cafe of her uncle Liam, but with events and an attack it will result in the death of her uncle. Giving her just a taste of the city she has just moved into. Taking over the Deli Cafe with a more prominent role whilst she might be more unease with what has happened. Her brother may temporally help out more or even stay over, but there is still a home just outside of a Gotham. That he takes care of. That Harriet still from time to time, when the time allows it, to help out there herself and where she probably feels more comfortable than where she is now, but Harriet is sure to find delights in Gotham she mightn't of expected. She is at the very beginning of her life.

2. What are your current and future Batman needs and wants for this character?

Harriet is a simple girl. A civilian basically. She doesn't know Batman nor Bruce personally, but there maybe a need for him to save her at some point, maybe more if he feels the need to save her. There isn't anything planned, but there is great possibility for something to come to be planned.
