Character Name & Journal: Jason Todd ([personal profile] robinhood)
Guild Affiliation: Unaffiliated for now but likely joining the Society soon.
Plot/CR Hooks: Jason is a man of many layers. As a civilian, Jason is the owner of Descendant Bar and Lounge. To most people, it's a speakeasy-style karaoke bar. To criminals, it's a neutral place to discuss business, conduct certain transactions, and maybe play some high-stakes pool or high-stakes card games. What Descendant actually is though, is a BatFamily front to gather intel about criminals.

As the Red Hood, Jason is a gang leader and a violent vigilante who has claimed a chunk of Central City as "his" territory. Him and several NPC metahumans are hybrid criminals/antiheroes. For example, they do protection rackets but exempt small family-owned businesses and won't ever get kids involved in anyway. Also, it's been a cat and mouse game between the D'Amico mob and Jason because Jason's got a bounty on his head for taking control of some of the crime in Central.

Another possible notable thing is that Jason is a bookworm and sometimes goes to libraries or bookstores during his free time.

Character Motivations: Jason believes that crime can only be controlled, not stopped. It's why he's a gang leader with a particular set of rules. He'll allow certain crimes like drug trafficking and racketeering but do something like harming a kid will put you on Jason's hit list.

Jason's open to potential allies on this front, though it may take time to trust them enough as he's paranoid enough to think someone might try to go undercover to take him down.

He's also on the lookout for ways to better track down and kill the Joker but again, won't trust easily.

Potential Roles: Jason is canonically an antagonist/dark antithero. Because of how violent Jason can get and how cynical he's become of the traditional superhero ways, he could very easily be someone's antagonist here as well. Jason's used to arguing/fighting heroes who have a problem with his vigilantism.

Meanwhile, Descendant is always hiring so if your character needs a job, hit me up! Also, because there are so many BatFam members listening in for criminal intel, you can opt in your character to be listened in on. Further details are in my write-up post for Descendant.

It's also possible for Jason to be someone's perfectly nice book club buddy.

Plot Ideas: I would love for Jason's moral code to continue to be tested between what he used to believe in back when he was Robin and the much darker turn he's taken now. It's fascinating to see where that moral compass's needle might spin towards.

But really, I'm not picky and open to a lot of things so if you want to play with me at all, hit me up and we'll work something out!
Roles Needed: N/A

Event Plans: For this event, I'm planning to have Jason be a full-blown mob boss. His moral code is mostly the same in that he thinks controlling crime is better than trying to stop it. Like canon Jason, this Jason was orphaned, spent some time homeless, got adopted by a millionaire, and trained to be a vigilante. But! He was never murdered by the Joker. Instead, Jason just shifted into the criminal lifestyle after seeing how ineffective just being a vigilante was. Also, he doesn't have any family problems because in the mafia, it's all about the family.
