+1 boy wonder

[asterbatics]

Greetings, residents of Haven. My name's Dai and I bring you this troll here who you might know in his various other iterations and personas and his slight connection to a masked vigilante known as Batman. Here we have (the first) Robin from that show about teenagers fighting crime Teen Titans Young Justice! He's taken from 1x26 which means he's got a little more experience and he's a little more mature but still very much the asterful hacked-the-motion-sensors sidekick we all know and love.

What else is there to know about him? Well, he's fourteen, most experienced super hero sidekick there is, and loves screwing with improving the english language, by removing unnecessary prefixes and suffixes. Because really, why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?

He's (the only one of his team so far who is actually in his own room and) staying in apartment #2.007. When he's not keeping Wally in line and not so subtly making eyes at a certain magician, he'll be trying to figure out who took is effing utility belt. No seriously. Batman's gonna kill him if he finds out Rob lost that. Anyone want to help?

He should be intro'd later this weekend but until then feel free to add me on plurk at dickaster ! I'M SUPER EXCITED TO BE HERE Y'ALL

[asterbatics]

ew gross not you.

and by that of course I mean OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN this excites me SO MUCH. you know, riddler. rob doesn't have time for your crap right now okay. :|

[backwordscompatible]

"Subtly"

Right.

[asterbatics]

excuse you he can be perfectly subtle when he wants to be

[backwordscompatible]

Uh-huh.

Sure.

Mr. "I'm trying to be all nonchalant here but I bet you've got some good moves."

[theboywiththebook]

So basically from the best season of young justice?

Anyways, nice to meet you, Dai! It's good to see you got in. I'm Chris and I play Henry from once upon a time. I hope you really like it here! Everyone's really friendly and welcoming so I hope you feel that! If you got questions everyone is willing to help out and Blue is an awesome mun.

So have fun, okay?

[eyeofthetiger]

Hello, hello! I'm Parsnip and I play this lovable but broken jackass from Supernatural named Dean. I have to do the obligatory asking though of how much 4th walling is okay since we do practically have an episode dedicated to Dean being Batman -- er, I mean. There are references!

Also, I am glad to have the excuse to play with you finally and I'm looking forward to the fun!

[asterbatics]

PAR I'M FINALLY IN A GAME WITH YOU HI /latches onto. Rob's gonna need a Batman so is Dean up for the job?

but you know, that's a very good question! I should put up a permissions thing on his profile or something BUT BASICALLY knowing that he's Robin and that he's Batman's sidekick is a-okay. Cause superheroes are public figures and that's why he doesn't take off the mask.

Are there 4th wall rules for the game, though? Because honestly I'd be totally cool with just about any 4th walling, save for knowing he's from that animated TV show called Young Justice. So knowing he's Dick Grayson, acrobat extraordinaire would be fine with me - even if Rob would be SO WEIRDED OUT BY IT.

[asterbatics]

yeah pretty much

Hello Chris! I'm sure I'll LOVE it but thank you so much for the welcome. c: I just can't wait to get rob in on all the fun.

[asterbatics]

Hey I apologized for that okay spur of the moment. We were in the middle of battle anyway!

[eyeofthetiger]

You know, that's a good question and considering I'm not finding any rules on 4th walling in the mod faq, I'm going to assume that it's up to player discretion. So I think we're good!

And yeah, I'm going to guess Dean will be more old school and just know some comic history and all of the movies. Especially since Young Justice came out after Season 5 of SPN aired. I like it when things line up this way! Just enough canon that he can make the connection or make batman and robin jokes because of the name but not enough that I can fudge things /o/

AND OF COURSE DEAN IS. Even if he will be giddy as a school boy.

/so unsure

[asterbatics]

If it's up to player discretion, I say GO FOR IT. Movies, old comics, even the old animated batman tv show is all fair game! Plus Rob would just soak up the fanboying because he's modest like that.

KSJDFGKJSD OH MY GOD YEAH I can't see Dean having a lot of time to watch Saturday Morning Cartoons, ngl. xDDD So he is free to recognize that he's a super hero and has an R and is calling himself Robin. IT'LL BE GREAT.

they'll bond and it'll be wonderful I like this plan very much.

[eyeofthetiger]

oh man... it's been far to many years since I've sen the old animated batman tv show. heck, it's been forever since I watched the old batman live action tv show too!

/gently goes to see if she can add those to netflix

and I rather like this plan too. It will be made of fail and awesome all at once.

[asterbatics]

totally worth it if you can find either of those.

does it look like i'm wearing scaly underwear c'mon dean.

WHICH, AS WE ALL KNOW, ARE WHAT ALL THE BEST PLANS ARE MADE OF

[eyeofthetiger]

nope, not really. But that spandex is rather catchy :|a

[asterbatics]

excuse you this is kevlar-infused, heat resistant and semi-bullet proof spandex thank you very much.

[eyeofthetiger]

Mmhmm. Guess that makes sense. Don't want to damage anything now would we?

/obligatory eyebrow waggle goes here, mmhmmm...

[backwordscompatible]

Who said you had to apologize? I told you I didn't mind.

My point is that you're not as subtle as you think you are.

...which I also don't mind.

[asterbatics]

Not at all.

This package is protected, thank you.

/don't even need an eyebrow waggle for this one

[eyeofthetiger]

[asterbatics]

CAN'T HANDLE THIS MUCH ASTER CAN YOU, DEAN

[eyeofthetiger]

OH, HE CAN HANDLE IT ALL RIGHT.

He'd just prefer to live in his pure and innocent world a bit longer is all!

[asterbatics]

It's alright, Rob can't really blame you.

He's too much for a lot of people to handle. It's why he has to keep the mask on.

[eyeofthetiger]

Or maybe Rob has pimples. Have you ever thought of that?

[asterbatics]

um no rob hasn't even hit puberty yet bro c'mon.

just because you had awkward teenager years doesn't make them universal.

[eyeofthetiger]

nope. dean's life was perfect. Mostly because of the magic fingers. it's Sam that had those awkward teenage years and all that jazz. and the poor thing was trying so hard too...

/cough

[asterbatics]

yeah nice try bud but he's not buying it.

[eyeofthetiger]

...

yeah, yeah. whatever. Rob will get his someday. Just you wait!

[asterbatics]

hell yeah he will and it'll be in the form of one great hunk of a man who goes by nightwing instead of robin.
