Nyssa Raatko
In the years following the failed nuclear explosion of Gotham City, the League of Shadows barely existed, infighting causing the League to splinter and almost fall apart all together. However, Damian's been hearing rumors of a new Ra's Al Ghul taking control of the League and working to restore it to its former glory, and unlike all the similar rumors previously, this seemed to be proving true. Both Blake and Damian have been hearing rumors about how the League is regaining strength, and it worries both of them. Damian made the league a top priority and after weeks of searching came up with a single name "Nyssa Raatko." So far he's been unable to come up with anything surrounding the enigmatic new Demon's Head, but he's been keeping a lot of tabs on this one. Neither Blake nor Damian want another catastrophe of 10 years ago.

Victor Fries
Wayne Enterprises, under the control of Lucius Fox, briefly created cyrogenics department to research various forms of healthy, energy-saving, and green ways to preserve food. It was scrapped when they learned its head, Victor Fries, was embezzling its funds to fund his own project--trying to create immortality through cryosleep. When it was discovered, he was left with nothing, because even his beloved wife Nora left him. Filled with anger he vowed revenge on everyone that wronged him. He broke into his old lab and stole a freeze-gun (originally created to flash freeze foods to preserve flavor naturally and his one creation towards the actual project to deflect the true source of where the Wayne money was going). His first person he sought revenge on was Nora. She tried to call the police, but that caused Fries to panic and wound up completely freezing her, head to toe. Distraught but now filled with anger, he went after the board members, only to be stopped by Batman. In prison he's devoted his life to finding a way to properly thaw Nora, who to this day is still frozen.

Deadshot: Floyd Norton
Floyd was a bored, wealthy Gotham socialite who hated everything and everyone around him. He knew he had dark impulses that only let out towards animals until he heard of the League of Shadows. He immediately left Gotham for the League, where he was trained to be an expert shot. Floyd was actually present in Gotham during the occupation, but avoided capture with the rest of the League by simply changing into a business suit and claiming to be another wealthy Gothamite hiding from the craziness outside. As he was well known, no one thought twice. Afterwards, he cut all ties with the League and became a professional hitman under the name of Deadshot. The last few years he's found himself back in Gotham several times, each time winding up facing off against the Batman. Three times now he's faced off against him, and all three times he managed to best him--not in combat, but in fleeing without a trace. Blake and Damian don't know anything about him other than his code name and his hit count, but Damian's working on it.

Firefly: Garfield Lynns
A petty arsonist, Garfield Lynns saw money to be made with the repeal of the Dent act and the re-emergence of Gotham's organized crime. He became an arsonist for hire and made a damn good living working exclusively for the Falcone family, gaining the nickname "firefly" after his original nickname "the fire bug" bothered him. Everything was good for Lynns until the Batman showed up and put him away. The Falcones hired a good lawyer for him, and he's due to be released within the month. Blake's already starting to make plans to deal with him when he gets out.

Harley Quinn: Harleen Quinzel
Psychiatrist Harleen Quinzell became obsessed with the villain the Joker afrer his reign of terror. She tried for years to subdue the feelings through therapy, but when the Joker died in Arkham, all bets were off. She took up the name Harley Quinn and adopted a manner of dress similar to his. Every bit as crazy and dangerous as her predecessor, Harley chooses to operate small scale as to not end up like her mentor. Her methods involve proving the Joker's theories to be true and forcing people to both choose as well as die. Damian hates her because of how well she hides her tracks. They can never predict her actions, and are always forced to react whenever she chooses to emerge once more.

Pamela Isley
Botanist Pamela Isley saw green when Gotham City seemed to produce an alarming number of crazies. She began to align herself with them, supplying them with whatever extracts or poisons or plant bits they may need for their ridiculous plans. Her cut is steep, but she's made it ridiculously hard to find what they may need from other suppliers, and the crazies have learned not to mess with her. She's quite a formidable force on her own, and possesses a poisonous kiss of her own concoction. Blake keeps tabs on her, but can't pin her for anything.

The Scarecrow is also still around, bothering Batman from time to time.

Damian Doe (goes by Damian Wayne)
Alias: Oracle
Age: 10

History
So doing it by the fireplace resulted in Miranda Tate (Talia Al Ghul) becoming pregnant with Bruce's child. She was unable to abort due to the martial law in Gotham City, so she made sure to hide he growing baby bump, eventually giving up the child to one of the city's many boys homes and she died without ever telling Bruce he was a father. When Bruce "died," the baby, named Damian by the staff, wound up living in Wayne manor, now the Thomas and Martha Wayne foundation for homeless boys (or something). Incredibly bright but lacking in social skills, Damian busies himself with creating a varied stock portfolio, familiarizing himself with computers and computer technology, and keeping tabs on the masked vigilante known as Batman. At the age of seven he figured out that the original Batman was, in fact, Bruce Wayne, and spent the next three years examining every nook and cranny of the manor. Eventually he discovers the piano code to the batcave, and as he was examining said batcave, John Blake, the current Batman, discovers him. Through much blackmail (and talking Blake out of a bad situation), Blake finally relented to allow the child to help him carry on Bruce Wayne's legacy, but in a strictly support capability. So Damian spends his nights under Wayne manor being the voice in Blake's ear, or updating the computer's now antiquated systems. Damian currently has a hunch that Bruce Wayne is still, in fact, alive, but doesn't want to tell Blake until he's certain.

Personality:
- Damian's a kid desperate to beat "the system."
- Isn't good around people
- Idolizes Bruce Wayne because Bruce Wayne is everywhere around him pretty much, and Bruce Wayne is something Damian wants to be like: wealthy, successful, powerful...

Random Facts:
- Was put in the room that was formerly Bruce Wayne's bedroom by chance. When he realized what it once was he went about spooking off all of his roommates until no one would want to room with him. He currently has the room to himself.
- Found a dog wandering the grounds and decided to keep it. The man who runs the orphanage tried several times to make him part with the dog, but relented when Damian agreed to pay rent for him, as well as completely financially support the dog. Named it Titus Andronicus.
- Numbers come naturally to him, so when he was 7 he bothered the man who ran the orphanage to help him open a stock portfolio. He now has enough money saved away to rent a modest-sized apartment in the city, but as he knows no one will sell to a minor, he stays at the boys home.
- As he doesn't understand people, he's surrounded himself with technology and spends his days taking it apart to learn how it works.
-Named Damian because he was born during the quarantine and they saw it as an Omen. Yes, his name is a bad pun. The other boys remind him of this frequently.
- Blake has him on a strict 3am curfew every night, so he can sleep 5 hours until school at 9. Damian sleeps an additional four hours before dinner.
- Goes by the surname "Wayne" much to everyone's chagrin. People have been telling him since the day he decided to use it that it's tacky and in bad taste and not to do it, but he doesn't listen. He's currently the only one who calls himself that.

This is a work in progress. Please excuse the dust.
