Young Writers Society

Name: Jason Todd

Alias (if applicable): Red Hood, Peter Parker

Age: Physically sixteen, but mentally older than that. Can also do a good impression of an adult if he has his helmet on and can pass for eighteen without it.

Appearance: His usual vigilante outfit, which is currently stuffed into a very large backpack right now, looks like the one from this wonderful piece of fanart!



He mostly looks the same without his mask on, but his eyes are blue-ish and have a tendency to glow green when he's stressed. If you want a more canon look for him/what he looks like with his helmet on, here's that, too:



Right now, though, he's wearing the Batman costume. I'll have him change out of it soon, but that's what the other characters are probably going to see him wearing first.

Universe/Timeline: Not Quite Canon AU, where DC characters randomly remember their past lives as OCs I made up on the fly. It's mainly Batman-oriented, but there's a few other characters that also count.

Franchise: DC

Very brief backstory: To make a very long story short, Jason Todd died twice. The first happened before he became Jason Todd. He likes to keep how he died and what his name used to be to himself, so that's not really important here. What's important is how after he died, he found himself as Batman's second Robin, Jason Todd, in the midst of his introduction to the Batman canon. Jason Todd dies in canon because of the Joker and comes back a killer wanting revenge, but this version of Jason adopts Bruce Wayne's bio son, Damian Wayne, instead. At this point in his life, he's discovered that multiple people in Gotham are in the same boat as him, and has even learned of a few people like him outside of Gotham, too.

Version: A much softer version of Jason Todd.

Name: Alex

Alias (if applicable): Damian Wayne, Damian al Ghul, Ian Parker

Age: Physically eight, but mentally twenty-two.

Appearance: Like Jason, Alex is a character that got reincarnated as a DC character. The character she ended up as is Damian Wayne. She'll be stubbornly wearing the Robin costume down below:



If you imagine a tiny little eight year old wearing that instead of the thirteen/fourteen year old wearing the costume, you have exactly what she'll look like. And if you want some more fun expressions of a maskless Alex/Damian, you can check them out in this Tumblr post. DC also has a habit of whitewashing Damian (-_-) so Alex is darker than in those reference photos.

Franchise: DC

Very brief backstory: Alex keeps some of her backstory secret, but she's open about most of it. She very much grew up on the street in her past life, mainly due to running away from her foster homes all the time. At some point, she befriended a strange, lonely man named Charlie Greene. He ended up taking her in for awhile and everything was nice and happy, but then a fire broke out when he wasn't home. Alex died at fourteen years old. When she opened her eyes again, she was Damian al Ghul—also known as Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne/Batman's only biological kid. She was also a baby that was just born; she considers that to be one of her most traumatic experiences ever.

In canon, Damian is raised by his assassin mother Talia's side of the family until he's eleven and shipped off to Gotham. In this universe, Alex made the recently resurrected Jason bring her to Gotham when she was eight years into being Damian Wayne. It takes awhile for the two of them to realize they're in the same boat, but she's now very much aware that multiple major Batman characters are actually reincarnated, too. One of her best friends, who may or may not have been shown in a picture up above, is also in the same boat.

Version: I've been told Alex is very much like Five from Umbrella Academy, so take from that what you will.

Name: Otto Octavius
Alias: Doctor Octopus; Doc Ock
Age: Mid-40s to early 50's. Let's say 46.
Appearance:
Universe/Timeline: The Tobey Maguire Films (very slightly altered)
Franchise: Marvel
Very brief backstory: So for those of you who haven't seen the Maguire films, Otto was granted funds by Oscorp (Harry Osborn, specifically) to begin experimentation with power generated by atomic fusion. There was to be a demonstration of this power as a show for the investors, but it went south. The fusion generator grew too strong and its magnetic attraction began to pull the building apart, during which Otto's wife Rosie was killed. Otto, who had been using four mechanical arms to safely handle the generator, was electrocuted and the arms and their harness were fused permanently to his back. The arms' AI had previously been subdued by an inhibitor chip, but the electricity fried it and so they took control of Otto's mind, leading him to try to fulfill the purpose for which he had created the arms: create a fusion generator. He rebuilt the generator but was defeated by Spider-Man, and this is where I change the canon a bit. In the movie, Otto sacrifices himself once he regains control of the arms and destroys the generator. In my version, Otto will have been pulled from that universe as he is attempting to destroy the generator. This means the arms do not have control over him currently--he controls them. That being said, they'll always be there whispering at the back of his head.
Version: A bitter, sad Alfred Molina.

Name: Carmine Falcone

Age:Mid to late 30s.

Appearance: Since the AU she's from is a more casual "villains trying to live their normal lives" kind of thing, that's reflected in how she dresses herself and styles her appearance. She tries to keep it dressy casual, with a long cardigan, some tweed trousers, and a henley. Her hair is thrown up into a messy ponytail and most people never see it in any other way.

Universe/Timeline: AU where the villains are gender-swapped and find themselves wanting to get away from the crimes they've committed and start a fresh new life as normal, law-abiding citizens. (but does it happen like how it's supposed to? it's hard to escape the past.)

Franchise: DC

Very brief backstory: She doesn't talk about her life that much, as she sees it as just another part of life. Carmine comes from a long line of crime families, and growing up, she always knew where to keep her eyes and her mouth; most of the time they were both meant to be closed, and that's a lesson she sticks to even after years. A few too many scuffles with the law changed her mind on that, and even though she's sticking with her name and her family ties, she's had a promise that nothing else would come out of it. Who knows what will happen in the near future though? Not her.

Version: Less crime lord, more angst?
