Occupation: Inmate at Arkham Asylum

Allegiances: Himself, Haly’s Circus

Age: 18

FC: Cameron Monaghan

Biography

Circus boy. Freak. Both were Jerome’s nicknames as a small child and if one had a video of what he was like, no one would believe that Jerome was actually very sweet. The other performers had no complaints, no one understood why Lila hated her son so much. Jerome’s insanity was neither early onset nor inherited. Instead, life with his mother just kept grinding down on the boy’s mind until he snapped.

It was that first kill that really drove him off the edge. There was no regret, not even the slightest twinge. Just glee. And driving the police in circles was even more fun than actually killing. They ran around like chickens without their heads. Of course, his idiot father had to destroy everything. Ruin his fun, get him sent to Arkham. But that’s where the real fun began.

Jerome learned more than he ever could at Arkham. Even those crack psychologists helped him dig deeper under his layers, to become an even better criminal. And then Theo Galavan staged his little breakout and those were the best few weeks of Jerome’s life. Right up until he stabbed Jerome in the neck- he’s still bitter about it. And then a year of darkness, two days of fun and back to Arkham. Again. Oh well. This just meant he had to upstage his last breakout and that was going to be fun.

Connections:

Harleen Quinzel: She’s familiar. Jerome’s definitely seen her before and quite often, if his memory doesn��t decide to lie to him again. Cute too. But, there’s something in her hiding directly below the surface and Jerome intends to find out what.

Jim Gordon: Old Jimbo. It’s really too fun to tease the old guy, he’s so uptight. Needs to loosen up a bit more. But he is reliable, and Jerome can always count on the detective to ruin any semblance of fun.

Hugo Strange: Damn him. Seriously, damn the dude. Jerome spent nearly a year in a cryotube and the man doesn’t have the decency to wake the ginger up to have a stab at his murderer? Some people in Gotham just have no manners at all.

Bruce Wayne: Kid won’t die. No matter how many times Jerome goes after him, not matter how heinous a plot Jerome enacts, the kid gets out alive. Jerome feels like they’re destined to do this for eternity, coming close to killing each other but never truly succeeding.

Jerome is currently OPEN.

Biography

Butch grew up working around the Falcone family mob.  He’s been around crime his whole life and he was raised to be muscle, not brains.  When he was older, he joined the ranks of of Fish Mooney, rising to the ranks of second in command.  Eventually, Oswald rose to power though and Butch remained second in command due to the brain control that Zsasz helped Oswald put on him.  Butch was only freed by his brainwashing when he went to the Galavans under Oswald’s order.  They cleared his mind, letting him see everything that Oswald had done to him.  After Oswald is sent to Arkham, Butch steps up to finally run the underground with Tabitha at his side.  He very much enjoyed being in command with Tabitha, but eventually he did lose that - again.   When Galavan comes back to life, he attacks Tabitha which allows Oswald and Butch to work together again. Oswald once again takes command, working his way up to be mayor of Gotham.  It is only when Ed outs Butch as working against Oswald, Butch has to flee to Tabitha, and by extent Barbara, to hide himself from Oswald and Ed.

Connections

Oswald Cobbplepot: Butch has been around Oswald for as long as Oswald has been working his way up the ladder for power.  However, for most of the time Butch has dealt with being brainwashed by Oswald (thanks to Victor Zsasz) which left a sour taste in his mouth.

Ed Nygma: Butch doesn’t know why Ed hates him, but he hates him in return.  Butch returned to Oswald for the power that came with it, and Ed threatens that power.  Not only that, but Ed can see through Butch, which Butch doesn’t like

Tabitha Galavan: Tabitha has found a place in Butch’s small heart.  Butch doesn’t know if his dependence and protectiveness of her is good, but it’s there.  He will do whatever she asks and whatever would keep her alive.

Barbara Kean: Barbara is an acquaintance due to Tabitha.  Butch doesn’t know how he feels about Barbara, especially as it appears that she likes Tabitha as much as he does.  He knows that eventually me might need to get rid of her, but for now she’s more help than hassle.

Backstory

Selina grew up on the streets of Gotham after her mother abandoned her as a baby.  She grew up with the little people, learning how to live like the little people and how to survive on her own.  She walks through the rougher parts of Gotham like she owns the place and sometimes she knows far too much for her own good.  She met Bruce Wayne as she was the key and only other witness to the murder of his parents.  She wasn’t supposed to be there, but it was a right time, right place kind of thing.  She hated the idea of him.  He grew up with everything she didn’t have, and she was supposed to hate his kind.  Yet he was pure, honest.  He didn’t lie and he didn’t hold back.   Most of all, he didn’t mind spending days in the slums with her.  Selina worked with many people in her life, just to get by.  Mooney, and then Oswald for a short time.  She works to help others in the slums, and works for herself and herself only.

Connections

Ivy Pepper:  One of Selina’s closest friends is Ivy.  Though the small girl is scary and intimidating, she’s not very bright and struggles.  Cat took Ivy under her wing, helping her get by and teaching her how to survive on the streets.  She often brings Ivy food, knowing that the girl sometimes struggles with getting it herself.

Bridget Pike:  Bridget is another of Cat’s street friends.  She hates how Bridget’s brothers treat and abuse her, and she often encourages Bridget to get away.  She would do anything for Bridget, and when she lost her she was devastated.

Bruce Wayne: Bruce Wayne scares Selina.  Not in the way that a mob boss or staring someone down at gun point would.  What scares Selina about Bruce is how much she cares for him.  She’s not supposed to care for the boy who can have everything he wants, who’s been spoiled since day one.  Yet she keeps going back to him, keeps seeing how even without the money Bruce would be Bruce.  It scares her that she might actually be falling for him.

Fish Mooney:  Selina often works for Fish Mooney.  Mooney has always treated her decently, but it goes beyond that.  If she works under Fish, she has protection.  That protection she extends to the people she cares about.

Aliases: Silver Dumas

Occupation: Student

Allegiances: Dumas Clan

Age: 17

FC: Natalie Alyn Lind

Biography

Silver grew up in the life of luxury.  Her parents were surrounded by wealth and they liked to dote on their little girl.  She lost them when she was fairly young, just on the brink of teenage years.  She was taken in by her step-uncle Theo Galavan.  He had her learn in Geneva for two years, where she received the best education money could buy.  However, as Theo was rising to power in Gotham, he called her back to him.  Silver thought nothing of it.  Theo had been kind to take her in and pay for her education, after all.  However, when she reached Gotham she saw a different side of him.  He was crazy about some ancient feud that didn’t matter, and he was willing to kill for it.  He scared Silver, and that fear got her to do whatever he wanted her to do.  Namely, manipulate Bruce Wayne and get him close to them.  Silver put on a mask, pretending that it was a game.  It was easy at first, but as she saw how good of a guy Bruce was and as she realized how insane her uncle was, she began to try to break away.  She finally cracked, tired of being scared and emotionally abused by her uncle.  She helped Bruce, and told him all she knew.  After that she escaped, fleeing to the house of one of her friends that she had made at the boarding school in Gotham.

Connections:

Theo Galavan:  Theo is Silver’s step uncle who took her in after her parents’ deaths.  He paid for her to go to school in Geneva for two years before requesting that she live with him.  Silver was thankful for her uncle, until he started asking her to do other things.  He kept asking her to befriend Bruce, to get him to fall for her, to manipulate him.  It was quite a fun game, but soon Silver began to worry about it all.  Why would she want to hurt someone who had only ever been kind to her?  Right at the end, she turned on Theo and helped Bruce get out - or at least attempted to.  She was tired of Theo’s emotional abusive of her.

Tabitha Galavan:  Tabitha taught Silver everything she needed to know about self defense and fighting.  However, Tabitha always frightened Silver, and Silver just tended to stay away.

Bruce Wayne:  Bruce was originally just Silver’s target. She was to befriend him, get him to trust her, and ask him to come around often.   If he was willing, she was to date him so to keep him close.  However, as she got to know him, Silver saw that Bruce was just a good guy.  He was always kind to the people around him, and was even kind to her even after everything.

Selina Kyle:  At first, Silver just hated Selina because she was in the way of her target. It was clear that Selina was smarter than Bruce and saw through Silver, and Silver feared that Bruce would actually listen to her.  Then the hatred festered into jealousy.  She was slightly jealous that Selina had Bruce around her finger (and wasn’t doing anything about it), but she was more jealous about the budding romance between them.  It was clear that the two were crazy about each other, and Silver was jealous of that.

Silver is currently OPEN.

Biography

Valerie Vale lived outside of Gotham City with her father and brothers, her mother having left when she was young.  She grew up with a police officer as a father and brothers who were rough.  She learned to be strong, growing up with a police father and brother who would later go into the police.  Valerie, however, found a pursuit elsewhere.  After a shooting at her high school, Valerie found a desire to know and share the truth.  She found it natural to pester students about the shooter, try to figure out who the shooter was and why they decided to shoot the school up.  She wanted the truth to be known, and she didn’t want to go about it through the police station like her family.   She preferred the dirtier, grittier way of doing it.  That’s how she found journalism. She got her Bachelor's in journalism at a small state school in the same town she grew up in.  Though she was offered a job at her local newspaper, she was also offered a place at the Gotham Gazette.  The Gotham Gazette offered her a higher position and a higher wage, so she took it without much thought.  Little did she know, she would end up in a city in desperate need for the truth.   Though she moved up the ranks quickly, her first major story came with the Arkham breakout and Dr Strange.  That was when she met Jim Gordon, ex policeman and bounty hunter.  She expected him to be like her father and brothers, strong and straight as an arrow.  She found something completely different, and despite herself she found herself falling for it.  When she was shot because of Gordon, she saw the truth.  He was still in love with his ex.  She bid him goodbye, knowing that it would be better for her.  When she was finally released from the hospital, she returned to work at the Gazette - just in time for Jerome Valeska to come back.  However, around the same time she found out some distressing news - she was pregnant with twins, and there was only one person who could be the father.

Connections:

Jim Gordon:  James is Valerie’s ex, and it is possible that she still cares a lot about him.  She first started bugging him for her stories, but found herself quite attracted to the man.  However, when it was clear that he was still in love with his own ex, she cut him loose to save herself.

Selina Kyle:  They’ve only met once or twice, but Valerie knows a good source when she meets one.  She knows that the girl sees all on the ground and is happy to pay her for some information.

Aliases: Firefly

Occupation: None

Allegiances: Arkham Asylum

Age: 20

FC: Michelle Veintimilla 

Backstory:

Bridget Pike grew up with her three step brothers and step father.  It wasn’t awful growing up, as it was really only her father who pushed and bossed her around.  However, when she got older and especially after their father died, it was her brothers.  She was more like a maid or a servant than a sister, Gotham’s very own Cinderella - except she doesn’t have a prince Charming.  The only escape she really had was Selina Kyle, though Selina could be closed off at times.  When her brothers enlist her to help them with their illegal exploits, she knew she couldn’t say no.  She was handed a flamethrower as defence, and knew deep down that her brothers only wanted her as the person who got caught by the police.  She found herself at home with the fire, though.  She soon made herself a fire resistance suit and began a small crime spree with her flame thrower.  She focused her attacks on where Selina wanted to rob, but found herself freeing women and girls in similar positions that she was in.  She was killed by her own fire in a firefight with the police.  Doctor Strange got his hands on her body and eventually reincarnated her as Firefly, the Goddess of Fire.  She remembered nothing of her past, but when Selina came to try to rescue her, she began remembering feelings.

Connections:

Selina Kyle: When Bridget was young, Selina used to always show up at her family’s door, asking around for her mother. That was how her and Selina met.  They practically grew up together in the Narrows, even though neither of them grew close until they were older.  When they were older, Bridget often found herself going to Selina for support even though Selina was younger.

Hugo Strange:  Bridget died while first putting on her Firefly charade.  It was Doctor Strange who reincarnated her.  With no memories of her past life, Doctor Strange gave her the alias Firefly and told her she was the goddess of Fire.

Biography

Tommy grew up in a perfectly fine family. On the outside. If one peered closer, they could find the the facade they put up completely sheer and only held together by a few strings. Tommy’s father was regularly abusive to both him and his mother, until Tommy learned to punch back just as hard. His mother was no better, enduring the abuse just to remain rich. He hated them both.

Summer camp with Bruce was the best escape and one summer, he made his move. Tommy cut the breaks on one of his father’s cars and simply waited for the news of his parents’ deaths. His father was killed on impact, however, his mother survived. Saved by Bruce’s father. This caused the boy to fly into a mad rage and attack another camper.

Released and alone, Tommy attended social gatherings in Gotham, simply to keep up appearances. It was at one such party where he met his best friend, Peyton Riley. His mother disapproves of their friendship, but Tommy’s never been one to obey her.

Connections

Bruce Wayne: Grow up as a rich child in Gotham, you’re bound to run in the same circles as others. For Bruce and Tommy, this was exactly the case. Best friends, they did everything together. Of course, Tommy ended it when Bruce’s father saved Tommy’s mother, in what was supposed to be the perfect murder.

Peyton Riley: Peyton is definitely Tommy’s best friend. And hopefully something more. His mother hates Peyton, but he couldn’t care less. He will not live without Peyton, regardless of her being a mafia princess or not.

Aliases: Daughter of Owls, Talon

Occupation: Assassin

Allegiances: Court of Owls

Age: 19

FC: Zendaya Coleman

Biography:

Zena wasn’t born into the Court like most other Talons. Her parents were social workers, living just on the edge between civilization and the Narrows. They wanted more for their little girl and signed her up for modeling and pint size pageants. Zena, however, did not agree about what was best for her and routinely threw hurricane proportion fits. And when she decided enough was enough, she left in the dead of night at age 14.

Zena then became what one would call a jack of all trades. Odd jobs, pickpocketing, and scamming were her main tools of survival as was the gang of street kids she “adopted”. While living on the streets, an old woman approached Zena after watching the girl take down at three men all in the name of a back alley to call home. The woman offered her fame, protection, and more importantly, a clean house. She immediately took up the woman’s offer.

Since then, Zena has been training as a Talon, taking out every other female Talon via tragic “accidents” or straight up lying. It didn’t matter, she wanted that position in the Family. And becoming the Daughter was a new beginning for the girl. Now, instead of becoming part of the Family, she wants to be the head of it. And nothing will stop her until she gets what she wants.

Connections

Selina Kyle: Girl needs to calm down. No, Zena is not rejoining her stupid little gang, and no, Zena doesn’t care about her abandonment issues. Selina needs to grow up and deal with it, in Zena’s opinion.

Kathryn of Owls: Zena is thankful for the home that Kathryn gave her, but if Zena is ever going to be Mother, Kathryn needs to be out of the picture. It’s nothing personal, just good business.

Dr. Gotham: The man creeps her out. When Zena becomes Mother, Dr. Gotham has to go. She doesn’t care how, just the fact that he’ll be out of her life forever.

Zena is currently OPEN.

Aliases: Harley, Harls, Harley Quinn (Future)

Occupation: Student, Intern at Arkham Asylum

Allegiances: Arkham Asylum, Jerome Valeska

Age: 17

FC: Dove Cameron

Biography:

Disappointment  has been a constant in Harleen’s life. Disappointment at living in the Narrows, disappointment for never knowing her father because he’s in Blackgate for the rest of his life. Disappointment that her mom married a vile, abusive man. She had a few bright sides in her life and those were her scholarship to Gotham Charter, gymnastics, her internship at Arkham Asylum, and Haly’s Circus.

Haly’s Circus always had a magical feel to the girl. It was her escape, the one place she could go to feel happy inside. Harleen had the dates the circus would be in Gotham marked on her calendar and would spend all her time there as long as she could. It was her happy place.

It was during one of her many visits to the circus that she met Jerome Valeska. It was a brief interaction, but if left the girl blushing for an hour afterwards. That night, she lay in bed fantasizing with the realization she had a full blown crush. After Jerome’s conviction, Harleen couldn’t shake her crush on him. The girl would constantly duck under any available furniture if she ever saw him around the asylum, although she’d catch him smirking if she didn’t hide fast enough. Through death and heartbreak, her crush prevailed. And Harleen found herself scared of her own thoughts. Who in their right mind would have a crush on a mass murderer?

Connections:

Edward Nygma: He was Harleen’s favorite patient at Arkham. At first, it was just curiosity. But then she read his file and court transcripts and found him to be the ultimate romantic. So she began to strike up a friendship, bringing him puzzles and small conversations through the chains.

Jerome Valeska: There was always a degree of separation between the two. Location, solitary confinement, death. She’s crushed on the boy from afar, ever since that one fateful day visiting Haly’s Circus. Harleen hopes he doesn’t die. Again. Her heart couldn’t take that.

Jack Ryder: Jack is definitely Harleen’s least favorite thing about school. He’s famous and she can respect that, but she just doesn’t want to be with him? She’s politely turned down offers to hang out, for fear of him suggesting more. 

Harleen is currently TAKEN.

Biography

Barbara had the easy life growing up. Well, at least to others it was easy. Get up, go to school, go to dance practice, come home, go to sleep. Rinse repeat. For fifteen years. Her parents’ neglect was enough to drive any child to heinous things. As long as Barbara was the perfect society girl, they wouldn’t have a problem. No dating girls, no speaking out of turn, no dating anyone of a lower class,  no embarrassing the Keans at any parties. The list of “do not’s” was a mile wide and Barbara despised her parents for it.

She met Jim at a charity ball of all places. She was acting her part, when all she wanted to do was go home and lay out on her bed when she spotted the man. He was in his dress blues, invited as one of the veterans. She quickly struck up conversation and discovered that she enjoyed Jim’s company, despite him being a complete straight lace. And after the charity ball, Jim asked her on a date and the rest was history. 

Life with Jim was routine, but annoying. Barbara needed to be free and she thanked the Ogre for letting her out of her cage. Of course, the stint in Arkham wasn’t fun, but without that and Theo’s breakout, she would have never met Tabitha or be a technically “free woman”. And then she wouldn’t have the Sirens. So everything worked out in the end, didn’t it?

Connections

Tabitha Galavan: Barbara doesn’t quite know what they are. She thinks lovers is the correct word. Tabitha is special, but then there’s Butch in the picture and that makes things complicated and Barbara doesn’t want any more complications.

Jim Gordon: He just needs to leave town so Barbara can stop her idiotic obsession with him. She knows it’s stupid, that women are far more to her speed anyways. Oh well. Maybe he’ll die soon and that will solve everything.

Oswald Cobblepot: If the mayor never came back into The Sirens it would be too soon. Once he’s out of the way (and then maybe have Tabitha empty a few rounds into Nygma) Barbara will have the city. She once heard something about cities being jewels, and Gotham is definitely the biggest of the bunch.

Backstory:

Lee was first called into the GCPD to assist with an odd case of electroshock therapy deaths.  After the death of their previous Medical Examiner, the GCPD eventually hired Lee to take their place.  It was on this electroshock therapy case that she met Jim Gordon.  Jim was - well he was someone who takes up the whole room without trying. He can capture people’s attention with just a couple words.  Lee couldn’t help but find herself intrigued with the man who only wanted justice to be found - whatever that justice may be.  Soon she found herself falling head first into a relationship with the complicated man.  Everything about Jim was strong, intense.  His twisted life before her, the way they loved each other.  However, as most relationships that lie on the intense, wild side, it fell apart quickly.  Jim was going down a path Lee didn’t approve of, and she knew she couldn’t stop him.  She was pregnant, and it was not the kind of life she wanted their - her child to grow up in.  So she gave him back the ring and left Gotham City for what she original thought was going to be forever.  Then Mario Falcone came into the picture.  He was everything Jim was not - grounded, stable, focused, cautious.  Once again, everything happened so fast.  She lost her child, she found herself in a relationship with Mario that quickly escalated to finance.   Everything was going alright. Sure, Jim was acting odd and cold, but overall everything was going to plan.  Then Jim went insane, claiming that Mario was infected with Alice Tetch’s blood.   She lost Mario, and even though it was true, Lee couldn’t bare to look at Jim again.

Connections:

Jim Gordon:  Leslie and Jim were together for a long time.  Lee was starting to see all the different sides of Jim: from the closed off detective, to the man who conned the mobs, to the gentle side he saved for those he cared most for.  It got to be too much though.  Lee thought she could keep Jim pure, keep him safe, but that was clearly not true.  Despite her strong feelings for him and their baby she was carrying, she left him to save herself.

Mario Falcone:  Mario was there when everything was falling apart for Lee.  She had lost Jim, and then lost their child.  Mario was there, and he was kind, and despite the short amount of time that it had been, Lee found herself falling all over again.

Harvey Bullock:  Lee doesn’t necessarily like Bullock.  She thinks he’s impulsive and too ready to hurt people.  However, she knows that he would do anything to help Jim, and even herself, so she respects him and trusts him.

Biography

Oswald, like many criminals, grew up in the worst part of the Narrows. His neighborhood was full of other immigrants from all over the world. Walls were thin and kids at school telling him he was lucky he didn’t have a father only confirmed his suspicions of what went on in his apartment complex.

He never really fit in. Maybe it was the limp, the way he wouldn’t play with other kids, or the fact that he had a reputation. Bad things happened to kids who were mean to him and so the kids stayed away from him. This continued up until Oswald graduated high school. Along with the rest of his classmates, Oswald joined one of the few big mobs before he had a chance to starve. But he was smart, he didn’t throw in his lot with just one. He played his cards well, working for Maroni and Falcone, waiting until one took out the other and would give him a chance at power. 

Of course, Oswald never thought he would be the cause of not only one of the gangs, but both. It worked in his favor, starting his own crime ring and not stopping until he was the King of Gotham. There were a few speed bumps along the way, including Arkham, Theo Galavan, and one infuriating Jim Gordon. The latest threat to his power came from the one person he never expected: Ed. And even if he does come out on top like he always does, Oswald isn’t sure he could harm the man he loves for his digressions. And being in love scares Oswald more than any threat to his power could.

Connections:

Edward Nygma: Ed is Oswald’s best friend. There’s no getting around that. And of course, he may have been a little selfish by having Isabella killed. But that doesn’t mean Oswald loves Ed any less, or that having Ed turn against him hurt more than it ever should have.

Barbara Kean: She needs to try harder. Always trying to take over the city, never succeeding. Her plans are worn out and predictable, even to Oswald. Maybe a little old fashioned assassination would help her out.

Butch Gilzean: Bastard. Oswald trusted him with his life and how does the man repay him? By throwing in with Tabitha Galavan and trying to have him killed by the Red Hood gang. Good riddance, in Oswald’s opinion. He doesn’t need Butch.

Jim Gordon: There was a point in Oswald’s life where Jim was important. In fact, he could go as far as to use the word “crush” if he spoke so vulgar. Now, Jim is simply a nuisance, getting in the way when Oswald really doesn’t need any police interference. 

Oswald is currently OPEN.

Alan Smith had long deleted his past self, and very little needs to be known about it.  He had a normal childhood, or as normal as one could have in Gotham, and quickly either severed ties with his family or lost them to some shooting or another.  The man by the name of Alan Smith first made an appearance when he was in his mid twenties.  He was a well known assassin for hire, and though he was nowhere near as good as others (such as Victor Zsasz), he was reliable, quick, and killed at a reasonable price.  He was well liked as an assassin, as far as assassins went, and he made enough to get by.  When he was paid to kill a man who he considered a good man, and a man who might even be a friend, he cracked.  Suddenly the mask he kept up that allowed him to kill without second thought was gone, and he was left with feelings of guilt and hatred.  He turned around, going rogue.  His top employers were pissed, especially when he started working against other assassins, trying to save their marks.  He works in the dark, trying to save those who shouldn’t rightfully be killed, but also still killing those who he sees as bad people.

Ed Nygma’s childhood was not a time he likes to look back on.  His mother died shortly after his birth, so he never got to know her.  Abuse wasn’t the right word for it, but his father did favor harsh punishment, especially for lying.  Growing up like that, as an adult Ed still finds it hard to straight out lie to people, so he often leaves the truth in riddles or avoids it all together.  Growing up, Ed had two passions: forensics and riddles.  After all, forensics were pretty much a giant riddle.  After getting his masters, E d went back to his hometown of Gotham to work as the forensic scientist for the GCPD.  With his father dead for two years, it wasn’t hard to go back home.  What was hard was finding where he fit in. He loved his job, working to obscene hours of the night to help solve a case.  However, it was hard to be around people who just didn’t understand him.  Jim Gordon and Lee Thompkins were the kindest out of them all, but they still treated Ed as though he were a child they were entertaining.  There was Kristen Kringle as well, the beautiful Ms Kringle.  She didn’t give Ed the time of day, but she was kind to him and clearly the most beautiful creature that had ever touched the planet.  Then Oswald Cobblepot came into the picture.  Ed had always admired Oswald’s work, and meeting him was like a dream come true.  When Oswald showed up at his door, about a year after they first met, covered in feathers and looking absolutely destroyed.  Oswald quickly became Ed’s closest friend, and never once did he judge Ed for who he was or treat him like a child.  Even when Ed was sent to Arkham, it was Oswald who always made sure to visit him and bring him little puzzles and riddles.

Connections:

Oswald Cobblepot: Oswald is Ed’s best friend.  Ed was there for Oswald when he came out of Arkham, and Oswald was there to get Ed out of Arkham.  It is very likely possible that Ed is growing feelings toward Oswald that surpass platonic, but (spoilers) because of the loss that Oswald caused, Ed doesn’t know what to think or how to feel.

Barbara Kean:  Ed has a rocky relationship with Barbara.  Though he does see her as a lesser in intelligence, she was the one who alerted him of Oswald’s betrayal.  He works with her on occasion, but does not trust her.

Butch Gilzean: Ed despises Butch.  It all started shortly after Oswald was realized from Arkham.  He showed up on Ed’s door step, covered in tar and feathers - tar and feathers that Butch and Tabitha had showered him in.  Despite that, Oswald still kept Butch around, and Ed could not figure it out.  He saw Butch as a traitor and untrustworthy, and the person to get out of the way.

Jim Gordon:  In the beginning of their relationship, Ed saw Jim as a friend.  He was one of the kindest to Ed in the GCPD.  However, it was Jim who began to unravel Ed’s secrets and it was Jim who didn’t give him a chance.  Despite that Ed despises Jim, it has subsided as there are “bigger fish to fry”

Kristen Kringle:  Kristen was Ed’s first love, first obsession.  She was also his second kill, the first going to her good for nothing, abusive boyfriend.  There is still a special spot in Ed’s heart for Kristen, and it is still his first love and first heartbreak.

Isabella:  Isabella was the woman with a love for riddles and Kristen Kringles face.  Ed didn’t see the building of an abusive and controlling relationship, and was falling hard in love with her until her untimely death.

Edward is currently TAKEN.

Biography:

From a young age, Tommy has been in the spotlight. First, on soap operas as any random baby that needed to be there. From there it was commercials to sitcoms to primetime dramas, all before the age of 13. He was raised knowing he’s amazing, and it’s gotten to the boy’s head.

Now, he’s taking a break at Gotham Charter to “get away from the media circus”. No one believes that, however, as he’s always trying to hound the paparazzi into interviews and more photos. And once that attention source faded away it was time to focus on other sources: his classmates.

The girls would all ask him questions about what is was like to be famous, about what it was like to be so glamorous while the boys pretended not to listen. There was one student that ignored him and therefore only solidified the thought that he would have her. But for all of Harleen’s too loud laughter and sweetness, the girl remained polite and indifferent. Although, he does have some blackmail on Harleen regarding one Jerome Valeska  that will finally force her notice him.

Connections

Jerome Valeska: The man’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but brilliant. Jack first saw Jerome’s televised death and decided that Gotham needed a villain. If Jerome was dead, then Jack would just have to fill his shoes. Pity he came back though...

Harleen Quinzel: She’s gorgeous, she’s intelligent, and Jack can tell there’s a certain spice of crazy to her that has yet to be released. Too bad she won’t even give him the time of day.

Tommy Elliott: In Jack’s opinion, Tommy needs to just calm down. The kid’s coiled tighter than a spring and it’s definitely affecting his head. Although, Jack also doesn’t have too many actual friends and unfortunately, Tommy falls into the friend category.  

Jack is currently OPEN.
