♦◊Personality
At times Harley can be immature, but handle a hard situation. She's happy all the time, well most of the time. She pairs her joyous mood with her bubbly nature and cracks the cutest jokes, which aren't always good. Sounds like the perfect girl right? The downside is that Harley’s entire identity is built on her relationship with Joker and her co-dependance on him. She craves his attention and approval. To put it bluntly the female clown has an obsessive personality. She’s obsessive and delusional. She just can’t help herself.
♦◊Biography
Harleen Francis Quinzel has lead a life full of ups and downs. Born January 26th into a broken family, to Sharon Quinzel, and Nick Quinzel her Father who would later become a con man. Harley was never adored by her parents or siblings, she was never good enough to reach their expectations. Her father left when the pressures to sustain his family became to much and the life of a con constantly landed him in jail or overdosed. As Harleen entered her years of high school she began hanging around with the wrong crowds. Wanting to experience freedom and falling under the wings of peer-pressure. Harleen became influenced under drugs and alcohol. After getting caught by police for various minor crimes due to a bad seed named Hayley she associated with Harleen complained to her mother about her schools system in order to be placed into a different high school.
Harleen took up gymnastics , her passion and drive had her excelling in no time. With excellent grades and flying through competitions Harleen became a well rounded growing woman. Taking the time to visit her father during visitors hours Harleen tried to pry into his mind for all the distress he caused the family. With questions unanswered the young female applied to her studies and before she applied for colleges she selected a major to aim for. Winning one of the states largest gymnastics meets Harleen was quickly awarded a full scholarship ride to Gotham State University.
With Harleen having a near genius-level of an IQ she presented to her professor Dr. Odin Markus her graduate thesis: “There are only two circumstances under which a person disregards the rules of society. When they commit a crime, or when they’re in love.” In order to prove her thesis she submitted herself and her then boyfriend, Guy Kopski as test subjects for Dr. Markus to observe. The experiment went bad when her significant other, Guy, begged for Harleen to help shoot himself after she led him to believe she murdered their professor.
Harleen later graduated and was immediately placed in the Asylum she pleaded for. Once there she requested to meet the Joker in research for a book she was wanting to write. After a few months of consistent work at exceptional standards Harleen was given access to visit the Joker regularly for interviewing. Introducing herself to the prince of crime the Joker himself pointed out the coincidence of her name resembling that of the harlequin. Upon each visit Harleen felt drawn to the older man as he told tales of his past, his father, the abuse, and all aspects of his life. These visits increased and soon Harleen was smitten for the prince of crime. Playing on her weakness as the Joker escaped from the Asylum he was quickly brought back beaten and bruised from his capture at the hands of Batman. Seeing the man for the first time Harleen became enraged. The birth of Harley. Quinn.
Harleen Quinzel at this point in her life suffered from a psychotic break. Loving her puddin’ to no end the harlequin dealt with every brutal hand that laid upon her. Upon Harley breaking the Joker out of Arkham she in turn had been admitted several times. Harleen had been diagnosed with a Multiple Personality Disorder. Eventually Harley had been released with a clean bill of health. Harley found her way back into the Joker’s life. Not liking to be shined over the Joker violently kept Harley in her place and that was beneath him.
After the Joker attempted to kill Harley, she had joined many different affiliations upon the betrayal of her lover, which happened time and time again. Finding a true friendship in Ivy, the red-headed botanist, thanks to her Harley had acquired metahuman abilities that made her stronger, faster, and immune to toxins and poisons. Being a gymnast had it’s perks of making the harlequin agile, pliable, and strong, but the added affects of Ivy’s plants greatly benefited the female jester. Befriending Ivy, then later Catwoman. Harley finds herself back with the Joker once more. Both women infuriated with the indecisive Jester they break apart their friendship, though this is temporary as Ivy find’s her way back into the harlequin’s life whilst holding a strong passion of hate toward her lover. Harley and Joker reside together in their own hideout to keep cover from the bat but still cause havoc to Gotham’s streets.
♦◊Intelligence Level:Harley Quinn has a PhD in Psychology from Gotham University, making her intelligence quite high. She often acts like a dumb blond, but that is merely because she prefers to have fun. But when she wants to orchestrate a plan they work out very well.
♦◊Strengths: Harley is an elite level gymnast, to excel in Gymnastics, one needs to be highly dedicated, determined and disciplined. She also has super strength, agility and toxin immunity the last three are thanks to her best gal pal Red. Confident in her attractiveness and sexuality, she doesn't hesitate to use this to her advantage.
♦◊Weaknesses: The Joker, the very person who brought out the fact that Harley is mentally ill. This causes her to and seems to resort to a more child like behavior. She possibly suffers with obsessive compulsive disorder towards the Clown Prince of Crime.
♦◊Weapon Information
○ Giant Mallet: Its kind of my iconic weapon of choice, insert face here, wanna play a little game of whack a mole? ○ Baseball bat: America's favorite pastime is mine too, I use it to hit the Bat...Man. ○ Exploding Pies: You haven't tasted a pie until you've had my whoopie pie, its to die for. ○ Oversized Pistol: Bang, bang you're dead. ○ Small Hunting Knife: I keep this one strapped to my leg for hand to hand combat should I need to play dirty. ○ Booby-trapped gifts: No I don't keep these were you think, but just like looking at my chest would be a trap these most certainly are too. ○ The Quintettes: Hey if Mister J can command some mindless thugs why can't I order people around too? These are my loyal followers, my boys, my family.
♦◊Ability Information
○ Toxin Immunity: Due to Poison Ivy's injections, To make life easily liveable with Red the scientist experimented on Harley and in the process gave her a great deal of immunities to various poisons and toxins. It should be noted that Harley already had a high tolerance for poisons and toxins do to exposure to the Joker's laughing gas. ○ High intelligence:: Trained in the field of psychiatry. She later did her residence at Arkham Asylum and is very cunning in the dimension of street smarts. ○ Talented gymnast: Harley is an Olympic level gymnast having picked up the trade very quickly. Her skills are almost unmatched making her easily able to flip over and dodge opponents. ○ Metahuman Agility: Another side effect of Ivy's experimentation.

♦♢♦ P E R S O N A L I T Y ♦♢♦
-Wallflower- Ariadne has always been a timid wallflower even when she was a child. Now that she has her father's influential musical patrons funding her studies to continue Marcos' legacy in classical music and instruments, she is often invited to fancy parties and dinners. She prefers to stay by the drinks or food tables and chat very rarely. While she won't be rude, she just never had the courage to dance or do anything outwardly active in terms of conversing and mingling with people. She wants to be a social butterfly but just feels like it wouldn't be something she could pull off.
-Proper Lady- With the proper raising and manners, Ariadne is a lady of Gotham's high ranking society. She's soft, kind and demure, and is rather approachable to talk to. While she prefers to keep to herself, especially after her father's murder and her.... changes, she does welcome some friendly contact. She would never approach another with bold actions or flirtation. The others would have to make the first move. Strong Feminists would see her as 'repressed by The Man'. Aside from this, she can be flirtatious and snarky, even down right sarcastic when the mood calls for it. Aria can also be rude as she is not above chastising people who do wrong. She would act if another was in trouble... though she may not succeed in saving them.
-Determined / Strong Will- Aria has always been a very determined little thing. If she thinks it's the right thing to do, she'll stick with it till either she succeeds or something or someone changed her mind. While this can be a horrible downside to trying to talk sense to her, the upside is that it's given her a strong will inside. She just has to figure out that it can be used for more than just 'getting your way'.
-Fear of Rejection / Loss / Failure- Several things haunt Ariadne, how she started out life, the way she views herself as pretending to be this lady of Gotham's high society, and most effecting... the murder of her father and the decimation of her physical humanity. She's afraid to be rejected, to look foolish or be proven wrong, and especially the loss of something or someone she cares about. She won't try if she thinks there is a chance to fail, and fail big, especially if embarrassment is at the end of it. Aria doesn't like being laughed at or made fun of/insulted. This mindset keeps her from striking out on her own in both her personal love life (which is non-existent) and her musical career. Now that she is some kind of Spider Metahuman, she now has to come to grips with it and accept her new self and that she could be loved by someone else and not seen as a freak.
-Personality Shift / Alias Related Freedom- In her Red Widow suit, she feels almost unstoppable. Ariadne discovered a type of freedom that has let her be everything that she could never be as Ariadne Marcos. As Red Widow, she can be strong and confident without fear of being found out or shamed. This confidence is almost an instant addiction and has become more than just a passing fancy as trying to be a costumed vigilante. She feels FREE. She's more outgoing, confident, brave, and even flirtatious. Only when someone recognized her does Ariadne resurface in an instant to lock everything down. Think of it as the ultimate being caught dancing or singing when you thought you were alone.
♦♢♦ A S P I R A T I O N S ♦♢♦
-Revenge- Ariadne wants Ivan Leikos, aka The Recluse, to suffer. She realized she will have to actually kill someone but she insists to herself that it's worth it.
-Musician- She often dreams of becoming a world re-known harpist, or violinist, but fears leaving all she knows and is familiar with. She is not fond of possibly failing and so does not try. Being shy (out of costume), leaves her little in way of making friends or actually heading towards this goal.
-The Life- She wants to be normal (within reason). Husband, children, a house and living well-off, is all she really desired. Being a street orphan, left her with the bitter taste of poverty which she tries to frown out with luxuries and other things. It is as if she has to prove she is not worthless, but feels as if she actually is and ins merely pretending to live up to her father's good name.
-Super Heroine- This is in conflict of her dream to be in love and have a family and home and normalcy. Aria wants to fight crime and be a hero and even be taken seriously in such a role. She wants to be a bold decisive fighter and catch the bad guys, save the day, etc. While her ideal of it seems far too simplistic and more like a child's dream, it's something she would rather do than to just be a freak. She sees her potential to stop people, to get information... she just doesn't have the training. With her determination... she can get it.
♦♢♦____________╠H I S T O R Y╣ Ariadne was found starving on the streets of Gotham by a well known wealthy musician, Gino Marcos, on the way home from preforming in a concert. The young girl tried to pick pocket him but could not get away before he chased her down the back alleys and collect what was his. Seeing her in such a deplorable condition, he took her to his home and tried to nurse her back to health. A visit to the hospital would reveal a very rare illness in her body that seemed determined against all medicine to starve her.
A doctor approached him with a proposition for another experimental remedy to not cure but but the sickness into remission so that she could be healthy and live a good life. Gino -having become fond of the little girl after loosing his own wife and newborn son in a car accident- decided to adopt her and go through with this experimental procedure. Originally having no name, Gino named the orphan Ariadne, a name his wife had wanted for when they had a daughter, and gave her his last name.
While Ariadne stayed in the care of the mysterious Dr. Ivan Leikos, a well known toxicologist and admirer of snakes and spiders and all things venomous/toxic, Gino made sure she received a first class education as she was a very bright little girl -if not rather quiet and reserved. The tests all seem to come back negative, but with a Formula V-148B, a change seemed to take hold of a now pre-teen Ariadne. While she did seem more healthy, she was plagued by sounds and the need to be out of the bright lights of the hospital ward.
When the head of medicine at the hospital found out what Dr. Leikos had been preforming on the small girl (very illegal practices) he accused the Doctor of trying to kill his patient and experimenting with cruelty and life threatening serums. He was going to report him to the police but a fight ensued ending in the Head of Medicine at the hospital defending himself for his life as Leikos seemed to sprout spider legs and fangs to try to rip him apart in a rage. Young Ariadne screamed at the sight of her doctor feeding on the body of a man and tried to run away from the hospital to get help.
Leikos, calling himself The Red Recluse, stopped her in his monstrous form and disappeared with her, the notes of his formulas, and several key pieces of equipment from the hospital. Leaving behind for the police to discover was just the hallowed out body of the Head of Medicine and a trashed hospital ward. Ariadne was kept at Recluse's hideout and private laboratory where a wide range of his insanity and desperation for another like him could be seen in numerous mutated patients in cages. Leikos explained to her that she was special, that her DNA accepted the changes and she would become one like him and they could be together for eternity. Not knowing what to do, she went along with it, but planned to later try to escape when she had her strength back.
Meanwhile, Marcos, being friends with Alfred told his friend all about how his daughter had been kidnapped by a monster and that the police had no idea what to do, thinking he was but merely sinking his sorrows to an old friend. Alfred instead informed Bruce of the news which he was immediately on the case since it coincided with what he was working on at the hospital already. It didn't take Batman long to find the hide out of the Recluse and try to save not only Ariadne but the other patients as well.
Unfortunately he fell into a literal trap door of incredibly sticky webbing the Recluse had been working on to perfect, ensnaring Batman as a meal for later. As Batman worked to get out of the trap with numerous tools, it was Marcos who was finally able to track down Ariadne via a message she was able to get out to him carried by a large spider. This would end only in tragedy as Marcos fell into a similar trap, but Recluse had other plans for him, having known full well of Ariadne's note. He proceeded to shock and devour Marcos in front of Ariadne, much to her absolute horror.
With help from others, Batman was able to get out of the trap and attack Recluse, but not before too much damage was done to Marcos's insides. Recluse fled the scene, setting off fire bombs as he left so his notes and all evidence would burn up, leaving only a promise that he would be back for Ariadne soon. Batman took Ariadne to the hospital while police saw to the crime scene and dead nearly completely liquefied body of her father.
Terrorized by horrible nightmares and the inhuman senses that plague her, Ariadne swore vengeance on Recluse, swearing that she would hunt him down and kill him and destroy all of his work.
♦♢♦ S K I L L S ♦♢♦
- Advanced Attributes - Ariadne has advanced speed, agility, strength, durability, and stamina due to a long series of experiments to alter her body.
-Enhanced Senses- Ariadne can hear, see, taste, and feel many times better than a standard human. Her sense of touch is so fine that she can feel vibrations on a spider web and know exactly where it's coming from through feel alone. Many of these enhanced senses leave Ariadne with migraines.
-Acrobatics / Freerunning- Once Ariadne got better, she focused on her body's health and movement, trying to keep it balanced and fit, despite her slender body frame, trying to add muscle to it. She learned acrobatics, finding the movements graceful and intoxicating to preform with her new speed and agility (even though she was horrible at it at first). After that came the bolder action and hobby of free running (parkour) on the streets of Gotham.
-Spider Manipulation- Through her many trials with Recluse and the genetic altering series of serums, Ariadne gained the ability to communicate and control a variety of arachnids. This power does not work on any other insect or creature. These spiders can be her spies or deliver messages, or even attack in a swarm or alone. Using her blood she (or others) can alter spiders to be far more advanced that in nature. This is shown via Recluse's genetic experiments on Humans and spiders. Some of his genetic creations are drawn to her and obey her instead (usually all male spiders).
-Pheromones- While all people and animals have a natural pheromone, Aria's has been advanced beyond typical human levels. She can make people do as she wants or tell her information, follow her, etc. This ability works best on males, or people already attracted to her. It is always 'on' and cannot be turned off. The levels, however, can be increased or decreased, and usually are stronger when she is stressed or afraid. Her webbing is laced with pheromones and can attract various beings like an alluring scent either into a trap or to a safe place.
♦♢♦ W E A K N E S S E S ♦♢♦
-Stronger Opponents- She may be more durable overall, but anyone stronger than her can easily kill her or seriously harm her. Blunt force trauma.
-Magic- Ariadne has little to no resistance to magic.
-Typical Human weaknesses- Ariadne can easily drown, die from choking, or simply being stabbed, or beaten to death.
-Extreme Climates- Extreme cold or heat can kill her or make her sluggish in moving. Being too hot can make her sick; being too cold can make her go unconscious.
-Choices- Ariadne has not been in the business of being a vigilante or even a person who goes outside much. Poor choices can lead her into dangerous situations she is not prepared for and can even get her captured or killed. This can also effect others in whether they live or not. She may chose what she wants over what is right.
♦♢♦ F A M I L Y & F R I E N D S & E N E M I E S ♦♢♦
-Gino Marcos- Adoptive father, a very wealthy and successful musician who specialized with string instruments. His wife and newborn son were killed in a car accident just months before he found Ariadne. He took her in and adopted her as his own daughter. He died protecting her from Dr. Ivan Leikos, aka The Recluse, a metahuman man-spider with designs on making Ariadne like him to mate with and usher in an age of spider-beings like him.
-Biological Parents- Both are mysteriously gone from Gotham, no evidence of who they were or where they had gone but they are presumed dead.
-Ivan Leikos, M.D.- An insane doctor with aspects of creating others in his image of a man-spider crossbreed. He created himself from a man to a huge monstrous spider whose hunger is insatiable. His loneliness lead him to experiment on numerous patients with his series of experimental serums consisting of venoms, toxins, and poisons found in nature and mainly spiders, especially his own blood. He infected Ariadne's genes with his and fashioned her body into resisting poisons and accepting them as it's own, overwriting it's genetic programming as a human. He only got to the first stage of the transformation, but he swore to continue it so she could be his mate.
-Redback Suit- The suit is made from a kevlar/titanium compound with woven in web fibers for flexibilitycand strength. It is bullet proof, resistant to physical impact, and flame retardant. The hands and feet are specially made for easy climbing on nearly all services. The blades on her boots are used for fighting, balance, and climbing. The mask acts as a transmitter, receiver, and provides technical support to expand and hone her 'natural' senses and abilities.
-Silk Spinneret Gloves- This device that monitors her web spinning glands is hidden in the gloves, it helps direct silk fibers from Spinneret glands from her wrists (the glands being housed in her forearms), to grapple upright and upside down on surfaces. It can be used to ensnare others or items and bring it to her. The tether silk is white and made of a sticky high-tensile protine that's strength can rival kevlar. Two small reels can grab onto the silk and be used to pull her up or an item to her much like a grapple. Being weaved together it can be formed to make a net or a web for her to wait on or catch people or things, but must be made before hand. Several types of webbing can be made via different gland types she posesses.
-Darts- Thin darts made of hardened keratin quill-like projectiles. The fingertips of these gloves house small high pressure darts filled and coated in spider toxin that can incapacitate and even kill. It is near impossible to dig out of a victim. Picture the worst splinter ever.

-Jonathan "Scarecrow" Crane-
"--Tell me What do you fear? 'Indifference donning mourning shroud, cutting all the mortals down, opposite to birth and life, filling the world with pain and strife. What am I?' Obviously Death...Riddler could tell you that, Death... you fear death..."
The person who made me who I am...: Why me of course silly! I am THAT amazing! My Mother calls me..: She doesn't call me anything... she's dead But I prefer to go by...: Scarecrow However, I have also been called... King of Fear, Horror, Master of Fear Age is just a number, which happens to be...: 37 I was born as a....: Male, heir to the cities fears My current place of residency: Gotham City, anywhere and everywhere One of my goals for the future: Rule Gotham completely...no! The world, I can do that...why set my sights for anything less? I prefer the company of...: Doctors, Inventors, and Geniuses, really anyone who has an IQ over 180 will do... This song about sums me up...: 'Dance of the Knights' by Prokofiev, my favorite classical maestro This is just a bit about myself....: Born and raised in Waterbury, by a loving Mother and Father, who always only wished the best for me, who pushed to strive me to go further and further with my intellect. They discovered I was a prodigy when I started reading at the age of four, moving swiftly onto college grade texts at the age of seven. Once I turned the tender age of ten, I was placed into a vast array of programs that boggled and worked the mind, music...string instruments like the violin, and the keys. Chess playing, writing sheet music, dictating mathematics and quantum physics. However my secret love was always for tricks, and games, I constantly longed to know what made the world tick, what broke them, what they feared. It has always been my goal, my challenge, to constantly push the limits of Mans simple mind, to try and achieve more, to watch them fall like the frail animals they are. When I grew to adulthood, a brief stint in the 'working class' proved terribly dull and uneventful, I needed more...and so I began my studies... it has never been about wealth and good fortune, I live in a Rat infested Asylum for Christ sake... its always only been about my research... care to be my patient?
My Strengths... Intellect, wit, weapons master, clever, master manipulator, Gadgets, fear gas, escape artist, agility, leadership, stealth, swordsmanship, tracking... My Weaknesses... Well what would be the fun in revealing that? You'll simply have to find out now won't you?
I've always prefered to walk the path of...: Evil I suppose...its always only been in fun and games though, sometimes you just have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet... When I fight I tend to use....: Fear, fear can break down a mind easily, warp anyone into anything I want... and then I can destroy them. I always try to look my best...: Green, blacks, and brown... a shroud, like Death... a scythe like the Reaper...
It had always been like this, a waiting game... he didn't mind waiting, not one bit... he was a patient sort of man, very reserved, perhaps that was one of his virtues, one of the few... to the victor goes the spoils, early bird gets the worm, he was a silent predator, cunning, and ruthless, the world was his oyster, and every sentient being within it his loyal often unwilling test subjects, they had to be unwilling... no need studying fear with a willing mind, the results were tumultuous at best. Above him the rain poured from a gaping wound in the sky, spilling forth crystalline tears like sadness at a Sunday funeral, on occassion lighting flashed, sparking dashes of light over a crooked figure bent in the alley, slender and emaciated like a living skeleton swathed in tattered robes of swamp green and brown. From the pooled darkness where his face would have been cloaked by a burlap hood, glowed three menacing emerald eyes... hellish and demonic. And if the good Doctors appearance wasn't frightful enough, one would squeal in fright over the gleaming scythe, a vision of death itself like the embodiement of the reaper pinned neatly along his back. His unfortunate prey for the evening was a young couple, newlyweds his research had told him...Jackson and Diane... sickeningly somewhat like the song, the vision of cheer turned his stomach, watching as they huddled close together moving swiftly under the cover of an umbrella... 'Funeral' the wind hissed, speaking in words only he could hope to understand... and as they passed closely by his alley... he swiftly followed after them...
A shadow had suddenly swept over the couple, screams in pitch darkness, darkening hearts, twisting knots in throats... darkness, and swirling shadows... with a scream Diane suddenly awoke, frantic as she taste a mouthful of dirt... tears and snot streaming down her face, makeup running... fingers sore and bleeding, once more the lightening flashed... she was in a hole... and above her... a gravestone... settled upon it, perched like some demonic springheeled Jack... 'Jackson!'"--Where the ******** is he!? Who are you!? What is this what do you want!?" she cried, "--Coffin, you're in a coffin pet... and... Jack..." he hissed, speaking the word like it was not one mentioned in polite society... "--He lies not but 5 feet from you..." a pause again, and a hideous smile from behind his gas mask... "--Buried alive... can't you hear his screams?" and when she listened closely she could... muffled, distant, and weak, shrieks of pure terror, of anger, the skrtch of nails along wood as he fought to free himself from his tiny prison... "--Oh my god, oh my god..." instantly she began to hyperventalate... and while she panicked unable to move... drugged... he studied it all, jotting down notes casually as he glanced to others... hired help, "--Bury her..."
"--Gods I love to tamper with them, what precious little playthings these people are, like silly little dolls...they are meaningless, but with my help...I give them purpose..."
"--When the world finally ends, it won't go out in a bang, but a whimper...and I will be the one to silence it, laughing...Thank you Gotham, its been a wonderful Game..."
-Joker and Dr. Quinzel, THE EARLY YEARS-"--So the Batman made you? What would happen if you ever met up with him again? Would you say anything?" she uttered, fishing a curious glance his way, ”—Well…I don’t know, I’d probably try and kill him…but leave it easily escapeable enough for him, so we could keep playing the game over and over again. I’ll probably repeat this fashion in repetition… the yin to my yang… he created me, and in a way I created him…” he declared, settling back on his cot, a look of nostalgia crossing his angled features, ”—Oh, but I imagine one day I really will kill him, or if I’m lucky…he’ll kill me! Really I think it’s a fantasy of mine, breaking the Bat’s spirit, breaking everything he stands for…destroying that sense of justice he carries, while he chokes the life out of me…poetic in a way…the break of a circle…it makes me happy…and I intend to make it happen…one way or another,”
Name: The Joker Nickname: Razorblade Smiles, King of Crime, Clown Prince of Crime, Duke of Death, Lord of Laughs, Sideshow Slasher, Jay, Joe, Jack. Height: 6'1 Build: Thin, but built Eyes: Black, Hair: Green Age: 42 Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on, so keep anything sharp or anything that can be filed down (like a toothbrush) away from him. Often seen carrying a multitude of knives and handguns, ocassionally a hand buzzer tied into a small electric scooter battery. Joker gas grenades, exploding chattering teeth... Strengths and Weaknesses: His Insanity, blessed and cursed, while it can be his downfall, it also serves as a sort of armor that keeps him going through anything almost; explosions, gunfire, knife fights, you name it. On top of that, he is also highly intelligent, a chemist, well to do with hand to hand combat, tricky, mischievous, a good dresser, and a hell of a funny personality... From the vaults of Arkham, written by Dr. Lidia Marcy: For the sake of arguement, for his real name is unknown to this day, we will call him Joe (for obvious reasons) The sessions held with resident patient of Arkham Asylum, Patient #132 'The Joker' is broken and patched between, for lack of perminent doctors; One institutionalized, one early retirement,another suicide, and a number of others found murdered. From what we know, this is how the details of his life went. Born Fall of 1970, in Gotham City...Joe grew up in a slum, mother...(from Joker's details) was a weak idiot, and his father was an abuser, who favored the drink. Joe explained that he only tolerated 13 years of this abuse, although considering he couldn't recall being hurt until he was 5 or 6, only about 8 years; before he did something about it, made his first kill, taking out his Father, and Mother blaming them both. Were unsure whether Joe was an only child or not, as he has yet to reveal anything. Joker is educated, this we know...but has no mention of his name in the school system itself. Incarcerated at Arkham Asylum at 18 for a series of grisly murders that dubbed him the 'Sideshow Slasher' (a number of circus related deaths to attendees), it was in this period, that he spent his growing up in and out of the Asylum.
Breaking out of Arkham, at 23 he moved onto try and start some kind of new life. With his freedom, he met a young woman (whom he simply calls Jeanine, but could get no more then that), he married her in secrecy, deciding to pursue a life as a comedian.
Falling on hard times, with his gambling wife, whose addictions though different (were much like his own, gorey one)...he decided to save her from the sharks by taking up an illegal job, thieving documents from the Ace Chemical Plant. It was here that he first met Batman, and when after a fall into a vat of chemicals that he became known with his resurrection, 'The Joker'; the rest as you know it, is History.

Height: 6’4”
Weight: 225 lbs. (102 kg.)

Origin / History
Slade Joseph Wilson was always a strong, determined personality. He was only sixteen years old when he had first enlisted in the United States Army, having lied about his age to gain admittance. He quickly distinguished himself and became the youngest decorated Korean war hero. When the Suez Crisis came, Slade was assigned to be part of the United Nations Peace Keeping Mission. It was there, during his service, that he met British Major; William Randolph Wintergreen, a man who would ultimately become his closest friend and confidant.
During the crisis, Slade was assigned to lead an Anglo-French Assault team into Cairo, a veritable suicide mission given to him by Lieutenant Colonel Sampson. Recognizing the situation for what it was, Wintergreen (who was a British officer under Sampson at the time) vehemently spoke out against the assignment, however this objection was to no avail, and Slade himself never questioned his orders. Slade possessed a strict moral code that never wavered, and despite the fact that Wintergreen was his elder by several years, Wintergreen became the student, and Slade, the mentor.
After serving a brief stint in Korea, he was later assigned to Camp Washington in the early 1960’s, where he had been promoted to the rank of Major. When Slade Wilson arrived for further training, he met Captain Adeline Kane, who was tasked with training young soldiers in new fighting techniques in anticipation of brewing troubles taking place in Vietnam. Adeline was both frightened and fascinated by him. She was amazed at how skilled Slade was and how quickly he adapted to modern conventions of warfare. Already decorated as a war hero, Wilson was an army legend before he had even joined the camp.
Despite his background, Adeline still managed to take Slade down a few pegs by besting him during a guerrilla warfare training session. Beguiled by his own defeat, along with Adeline's beauty and intelligence, Slade eagerly agreed to become her new student when she offered to train him privately in guerrilla warfare. In less than a year, Slade had mastered every fighting form that Adeline had presented to him, and as her techniques were passed along to him, he was soon promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
In truth, however, their mutual interest with one another was more than professional. Sparks ignited immediately between the two as Adeline had almost immediately fallen in love with Slade, realizing that he was, without a doubt, the most able-bodied combatant she had ever encountered. Six months later, Slade & Adeline were happily married and she became pregnant with their first child. Unfortunately, it was at this time that the war in Vietnam began to escalate and Slade was shipped overseas. At home, Adeline gave birth to their son, Grant.
Sometime after, Adeline became pregnant with their second child, Joseph, and Slade volunteered for a medical experiment designed to stimulate his adrenal glands in hopes of increasing a soldier's natural ability to resist truth serums. It was later revealed that these supposed "truth serums" were, in reality, an attempt by the government to covertly create metahuman super-soldiers through genetic experimentation on human test subjects. The results were not as expected, and Slade's body reacted violently to "Experiment: A.C.T.H. - 92", as it was known to the higher-ups, leaving him weakened, bed-ridden, and comatose for a very long time.
Unfortunately, Slade had taken so badly ill from the effects of A.C.T.H. - 92 that he even remained comatose throughout the birth of his second son, Joseph. The doctors concluded that Slade had ingravescent abrasia, and as a result; he would be unable to walk because of a loss of motor coordination. However, they were wrong. When Slade awakened, he had discovered a number of unforeseen side-effects that even his superiors were unaware of; Slade was now capable of using 90% of his brain capacity, and his strength, durability and agility were successfully increased to metahuman levels.
After his condition stabilized, Slade was certain that, with his enhanced attributes, he would become a greater asset to the military than ever before. Unfortunately, the US army had enough trouble trying to cover up A.C.T.H. - 92, and wanted nothing more to do with it. Despite making a full recovery from the procedure, Slade was honorably discharged. He applied for re-assignment, but they refused him from active duty.
With his duties now limited to only that of desk-work, depression took hold of him and he was desperate to serve his country. Unable to further his career in the military, Slade dedicated himself to a life of professional hunting in order to fill the void he felt within himself as a fighter. He eventually became a world-famous safari hunter and great wealth followed soon after. Adeline always suspected that Slade felt unfulfilled, however, she knew that hunting failed to quench his thirst for the life which he had once led.
This life too was put on hold, when Wintergreen was sent on a suicide mission and got captured. When his superiors refused to help, Slade was forced to do the impossible; he put together a costume and went on an unauthorized solo mission to save his life-long friend. In the end, he saved Wintergreen, but was then dishonorably discharged from the US Army for breaking protocol and disobeying direct orders. Slade ultimately decided this was for the best. Having grown weary of the army and its code of blind loyalty, Slade created the costumed persona of 'Deathstroke, The Terminator', the greatest mercenary the world would ever know.
Abilities
• Metahuman Physiology: Slade Wilson possesses several abilities that are considered to be metahuman due to his military procedure. His enhanced mental and physical attributes are the result of an army experiment gone wrong, that was meant only to increase his ability to resist truth serums. After suffering a coma, he awoke with the following attributes listed below:
• Metahuman Intelligence: Able to utilize 9 times more than a human's brain capacity for information storing and sorting, his mind is practically a supercomputer built for strategy and problem solving. He can work out any sort of battle or attack ahead of time and predict an enemy’s movements based on what they have displayed so far, showing that his memory borders on almost total recall. He is also genius in devising solutions against superior aspects of an opponent, can observe and exploit, and can calculate distance, time, and speed at lightning-fast speeds. His sense of time is also superb, bordering on perfection.
• Metahuman Reflexes: Slade’s reflexes are instantaneous, so much so, that he is fully capable of dodging even point-blank gunfire and out-maneuvering almost any opponent, no matter how well-trained.
• Metahuman Strength: His entire muscular system was hardened and strengthened, making him "as strong as 10 men". Slade's enhanced strength grants him the ability to press-lift at a minimum of 800 lbs.
• Metahuman Stamina: He is able to exert himself at peak capacity for much longer than any regular human could ever possibly hope to.
• Metahuman Speed: He is able to run and move at speeds of up to 30 mph, far out-performing any olympic athlete.
• Metahuman Senses: His senses have been highly augmented as well, enabling him to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste things better than any ordinary human.
• Regenerative Healing Factor: His healing powers are enhanced, enabling him to recover from almost any injury, such as even gunshots, stab wounds, broken bones, bruises, and many more. Because he can heal much faster than normal, Deathstroke's body is able to take a tremendous amount of punishment before succumbing to death. He was once impaled clean through the chest and this didn't do anything except slow him down and cause him pain.
• Enhanced Immunity: Due to Slade's healing factor, his body's ability to process through harmful, foreign substances has been greatly enhanced; he has become naturally immune to deadly poisons, diseases, illnesses, infections, and foreign chemicals.
• Decelerated Aging: Due to Slade’s enhancement, he ages much slower than any normal human, causing him to appear much younger than he actually is.
Skills
• Masterful Tactician: Despite all of his great physical prowess, the most dangerous thing about Slade is his ability to formulate plans and execute them with surgical precision. With his enhanced mind, he is likely the greatest strategist and tactician in the world, able to predict and plan for anything his opponents might attempt to use against him. Even against other metahumans he has proven himself to be a deadly adversary on more than one occasion.
• Master Martial Artist: Slade is highly adept at martial arts, and was a formidable hand-to-hand combatant before ever becoming 'Deathstroke'. During his prime, Slade trained in hand-to-hand combat with the US Army when, amongst all of his comrades, he had proven himself to be one of their best fighters. Slade furthered his studies when he sought an assassin known as 'Natas' to train him in the ways of the Ninja. Specifically, he is well versed in Boxing, Ju-Jitsu, Karate, and Ninjitsu, as well as various assassination techniques. Such is his skill that, when coupled with his enhanced physical attributes, Slade is often more than a match for any given metahuman, and is known to have defeated much more powerful adversaries.
• Weapons Specialist: Having dedicated the majority of his adolescence to a life of warfare and combat, Slade has conditioned himself into a masterful combatant with virtually all conventional forms of weaponry known to man. Deathstroke is especially proficient with handguns, sub-machineguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, throwing knives, thrown projectiles, swords, staves, and any other blunt, or bladed weaponry. Regardless of whatever weapon Slade might be wielding, the accuracy of his strikes are always delivered with surgical precision.
Personality
Slade Wilson is a very complicated man. He is an extremely calm and composed individual, remaining an enigma to both enemies and allies alike. The epitome of an evil mastermind, Slade is clever and calculating, never to join the fray unless he has the complete advantage, and fleeing in the moment that advantage is compromised. A master manipulator, he prefers to bait others into traps rather than directly confront them himself.
Although he is a man of honor who operates under a strict code of ethics, his sense of morality is flawed. Slade is a man who believes in using deadly force, and at times, has acted as judge, jury and executioner for those he deemed without honor or worth. He does not show mercy to his opponents except for the most extreme of circumstances. Slade is, however, very particular about the jobs he chooses, often turning down jobs that would compromise his personal moral compass, such as it is.
He is more than a little conceited, yet he is also very determined and strong-willed when given a contract to see through to its conclusion, however long that may require. In some occasions, he has fought on the side of good merely because he believed in the cause. Other times, he has taken assignments and committed acts that other heroes would be truly disgusted by.
Slade, however, is a man capable of extreme devotion, whether it is to his family, friends or ex-lovers. He has always sought to protect those who have been close to him, and would not hesitate to lay down his life in exchange for theirs. His greatest tragedies have been his inability to prevent the destruction of those who have loved him. The death of his two sons and ex-wife continue to haunt Slade. He is tortured by his helplessness to have saved them.
Slade is also a man who has a hard time expressing his feelings; his lack of expression made him neither a good father nor husband. At times, he has distanced himself from those he loved for their own protection in an effort to "save" them from his own way of life. Despite his recent changes, Slade remains a man of mystery. Whether he will walk the side of angels or take the path to hell remains to be seen. Being a neutralist, you never quite know just what to expect from him… And he would have it no other way.

Serial number: No longer in service Name: Ares Middle Name: Richard Surname: ###### Gender: Male Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual Age: 39 Relatives: N/A Alignment: Good Citizenship: American Marital Status: Single Powers/Abilities: Exceptional martial artist, stealth artist, combat strategist, brilliant deductive skill, advanced technology Occupation: Teacher, sparring partner, adventurer, welder Height: 6'2" Weight: 275lbs Eyes: Brown Hair: Blonde
//////////[End File]////////// _
Physical Appearance
Ares has always been quite the masculine fellow with a 'granite' and 'scruffy' chin. However, he prefers his armor on at all times mostly due to "incidents" that occurred during his years in service.
With his helmet removed, his skin tone is described as "quite white", and wears a black eye patch upon his right eye, which was badly scarred during the "Raid Of 99".
Upon February 29th, 1999 during his years in the Marines, North Korea and Arabian forces had united to invade Washington, DC. Ares was called in for duty and deployment. After deploying, Ares' platoon were under intense firepower, forcing his platoon to seek immediate cover. Just as Ares made a run for it, a fragmentation had been tossed and landed 10 feet in front of him. Practically checkmate, he was too late. The fragmentation had already detonated which caused multiple pieces of shrapnel to impact on his right eye, damaging his sense of seeing through that eye permanently. The pieces left behind a nasty scar upon his eye that stretched to his right eyebrow.
His hair is naturally straight, but with his helmet on the majority of his time, it turns out 'messy'.
Arsenal and Gear
Equipment:Ares carries many weapons upon himself. He believes, in his own language, "the more you can carry the better off you'll be without having to worry about your arsenal shrinking." Amazingly, he is able to carry two black, steel-plated 7.62×63mm rifles both with advanced scopes and extended clips, one IzH-67B rifle, a steel plated katana, and a steel plated sword and sash as 'backup'. He also carries a steel plated combat knife, frags, a leg rig which carries his frags, accessories, items, etc. within, and a walkie talkie.
Upper Regional Armor:Covering his chest and lung region is a polyethylene plated vest, and a black tac-vest over it. The material is enough for Ares to maintain balance and mobility while giving him a formidable amount of protection. Unlike ceramics, these plates take advantage of the spin of a bullet to slow it down. The bullet's friction creates heat, which partially melts the polyethylene until it stops the bullet. Then once the bullet slows and eventually stops, the polyethylene cools and rehardens, much like the action to a self-cauterizing wound.
Elbow and shoulder guards are also polyethylene.
His black gloves are also made of polyethylene. The gloves have a brass knuckle addition. The brass knuckles on the gloves are steel plated, making Ares' strikes more affective against his foes. The scallops are attached to a separated bracer worn below the glove around the wrist.
Lower Regional Armor:A kevlar plated groin protection that wraps around his crotch and buttocks. The protection act as "cross-belts", giving Ares a fair amount of leg motion.
Knee guards and black boots are made of polyethylene as well as his grey colored thigh guards. The boots are made from lightweight rubbers and are much more flexible to allow for full extension when kicking. The boots feature a unique "slingshot" ankle reinforcement design that acts as both armor and as reinforcement for the ankle joint when kicking or landing from high distances. The bottom is a flexible split sole design and is textured for a variety of surfaces. The boots also have steel toes, making them much more effective when on the offensive.
Beneath all the outer armor is a black, armored bodied suit made of a titanium based material that covers Ares from neck to toe. The body suit is made of a nanocomposite material, hence why the suit is flexible.
Head Gear:Ballistic black hood , a red colored visor, and a sealed black gas mask over his face.
The visor conceals his eyes, preventing eye identification. It has many special visions such as infrared vision (heat sensors), night vision, and ultraviolet vision. Ares uses a sophisticated "Shadow Vision", as he personally calls it, which allows him to see through walls, and detect and identify hidden objects and analyze evidence. The visor is also a digital camera for obtaining evidences.
Within his left ear is an internal comm-link earpiece which allows him to stay in contact with his friends and allies. The comm-link can also scan police radios and other communication frequencies.
The black gas mask is made of polyethylene, which gives him the advantage to breath through intoxicating agents released in the air, while sustaining a formidable amount of facial protection.
Ares also wears a black ballistic cape. It incorporates Nomex fire-resistant/retardant material, and a Kevlar weave to slow the impact of bullets. He also wears it for tactical reasons. Ares can use the cape to wrap around his body, making it difficult for enemies to know where to strike. At a longer range, enemies will often get confused because they cannot determine whether they're shooting him or just the cape.
Symbolic Items
Throughout his life, Ares has received many items or accessories he considers symbolic to him. However, he only has two equipped on his armor that are beyond symbolic to him.
The Blue Cross Armband:The armband wraps around his right arm. Soldiers would achieve this blue cross once they've reached High Command (HC) in any military branch. Ares decided to keep it on his armor as a reminder for how far he got in his military career, and it makes a nice addition to his armor.
The Checkered Shield Pin:This was given by Ares' mother upon graduating 8th grade as one of his graduation gifts. Every time he looks at it, it reminds him of his mother. Now, he looks to it as the hope's shield. Whatever can be thrown at it, hope will still be standing, wielding that shield. Hunter believes that's what his mother intended it to be for him. During Ares' 8th grade year, he found himself tagging behind in his classes which drove him mad. But with the help of his mother, she inspired him to go on and keep fighting till the end. "You just gotta pick up the hope's shield and go on. Be the hope."
Personal Bio
History:"I was once a man under the impression that our government was 'cleansed' and that it's worth dying for. And I felt that I had no right to do any less than the soldiers fighting in the battlefield. That's why I became one. A Navy SEAL, in fact, having dedicated the majority of my adolescence to a life of warfare and combat. I've worked with handguns, sub-machineguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, throwing knives, thrown projectiles, swords, staves, and any other blunt, or bladed weaponry. However, amongst all that, I work best with sniper rifles, and bladed weaponry. Serving in the SEALs, I've enhanced my ability to formulate plans and execute them with surgical precision. Not getting ahead of myself, however, but I've proven that I am a great strategist and tactician, able to predict and plan for anything my opponents might attempt to use against me. But all of that wasn't enough for me.
Desperate to find my destiny, I decided to retire that division and moved onto the next step; the Army. My uncle once served in the Army. Along with my great great grandfather, so I figured I could carry on the legacy. And even in that branch, I've learned more. In my prime, I've trained in hand-to-hand combat with the US Army when, amongst all of my comrades, I've proven myself to be a great fighter. While serving in the Army, I've furhtered my studies when I met another comrade of mine named Minho. I didn't think much of him until he personally trained me, off the side, in mixed martial arts, including Ju-Jitsu, Karate, and Ninjitsu. During assigned sparring sessions, he also showed me various assassination techniques, which have proven to be quite unprecedented. But even after all of that searching within that branch, the crater still remained in my heart. So after I did a decent amount of years in the Marines - about 8 years - I decided to hang that up as well.
I grew up in the country. The Foothills of California, so I adapted to the outdoors, and manual labor. However, I also spent a majority of my time in the city mostly due to my mother's occupation being located in the city. The city of Sacramento. My mother was always a faithful, caring, dedicated, and beautiful woman, and I loved her very much. She inspires me to do what my heart tells me to do and make good choices, yet still exploring what life has to offer. Even the "wild side". The two of us shared so many adventures. But one day when I got home from school the Police Department swarmed my home, and an ambulance parked outside my drive way. Without hesitation, dropping everything in my hands, I rushed through the front door, wondering just what the hell was going on. That's when the police Captain, Echeveria I believe, approached me and had me confirm my identification. That was the beginning of the worst day. I zoomed out just as soon as the bad news hit me in the face. My mother had died that day. I had to find her, I had to see her for myself! Rushing back out to the ambulance just before it left, I saw my mom lying there in her deathbed, blanket covering her from head to toe. I cried on her cold chest. All the tears escaping from my eyes rushed down to her. Just before I could go from rain to waterfalls of tears, I felt a warm sensation run up my spine almost as if someone was holding me. It was my mom's spirit. I knew it. She was saying goodbye before the Heavens could take her. She was at peace, finally.
There was something that my mother once told me before the day she passed away. It replays over and over again even to this day. I believe she said to me, "Ares, you've got a special gift. A gift so rare everybody wishes they had it. You've got the gift of independence. I know that may not sound like a gift, but if you take a good look at the people around you, they all depend on something to make them happy. It could be anything. And the reason why they're too dependent is because they feel they aren't anything without it. Unless you're in love, but that's another story. But you, Ares, don't depend on anyone or anything to satisfy you which will prove to be useful in certain situations like work. You prefer to work alone because you feel its just easier that way for you and nothing gets in your way. And I know when you're dedicated to doing something, you'll get it done. You always do. Whatever it may be, keep the attitude up no matter how dense the situation may get. Never give up what you believe in and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." My mother is the one that inspires me to be "my own boss" and be the helping hand to those in need."
