Here are the starting situations and character sheets, with alterations to some. Let me know if there are any issues.
Villain Name: Shounen Man
Gimmick: Does stereotypical Shounen Manga things ie. eat loads, be stupid, scream attack names etc.
Real Name: John Stevenson
Short Description/Bio: John wears an orange martial arts gi al a Goku, as well as wig that looks like Goku's hair. He also wears a black facemask. John was an otherwise ordinary person growing up, his obsession with Shounen Manga aside, but when he was 18 he decided to steal all manga in Gotham.
Your obsession has taken it's toll on your life, leaving you with only $900 life savings and (1) living in your car, (5) which fortunately is a van in good working order. This situation has made you desperate, and you have vowed to steal your precious manga, since you can no longer acquire them through "legitimate" means. How dare the world deny you!
Villain Name: The Rambler
Gimmick: Misdirection
Real Name (optional): Joe Bridger
Short Description/Bio: Joe wears a pink trenchcoat over a neon green suit with an interrobang inscribed on it in neon yellow. He has a long beard, a top hat, and a ball of yarn shaped into a fake wig. Joe's life was scarred early on by an event he only refers to as "The war" and he has since turned to a life of petty crime in vengeance.
A poor man with only $800 and (5) a decent apartment to your name, you are taking inspiration from a certain legendary criminal and seeking vengeance upon those who have wronged you!
Villain Name: Nine-Ion
Gimmick: Uses a variety of mechanically modified golf balls and clubs. (Or at least, he plans to. All he's got right now is some rusty golf skills and his sunday best.)
Real Name: Edmund 'Eddie' Durand
Short Description/Bio: An average desk worker, Eddie's life hasn't quite gone the way he's planned. The only thing that makes the pain of this life bearable is golf. But even that, has steadily become tainted. What happened to those dreams of being the best golfer ever he had in his fool-hardy youth?! Taken. Taken by the parasites that cover his life. But he'll show them all.
Wears a crimson red polo and some khakis. Wears a ski mask, with a pair of sunglasses and a golf visor over it. Has a golf bag slung over his shoulder most of the time. Of course, this costume is a work in progress, c'mon, you expect a guy with a desk worker's salary to have a full-fledged spandex get-up already made up?
This is the last straw. With only $500 left in your savings after those damnable insurance mosquitos ripped you off, (6) you will soon be unable to pay for your rather nice apartment, one of the few comforts in your life. Now you shall put your plan into effect, gathering spare equipment and clothes from your closet. Soon...
Villain Name: The Griller
Gimmick: Kitchen equipment
Real Name: Theodore Malley
Short Description/Bio: Formerly a part-time petty crook who spent his daylight hours working in the kitchen of a high-end restaurant, Theodore decided to combine his two passions when he was fired for sneaking too much food when he thought no-one was looking. It didn't help that he punched out the manager who confronted him over it, either.
He's a good-humoured fellow for the most part, despite his no-good ways, but he does have a rather short temper.
And a strange obsession with appliances.
A big, ungainly fellow for the most part, with a short mop of curly brown hair and a decent covering of flab over a muscular form. He has a broad jaw despite this, and a large nose that looks to have been broken sometime in the past. His eyes are green, his voice a loud bass, and his big mouth forms easily into either a broad grin or a snarl.
Has a small-but-noticeable scar snicking across the lower edge of his chin: he tells people it was from a knife-fight but it was, in fact, from wiggling too quickly through a chainlink fence to get away from the police after a bungled robbery.
With only $600, your kitchen staff uniform, and (1) having just been evicted on the same day you were fired, you see you have no choice but to return to the miscreant ways of your youth to survive. Very well. If you must be a criminal, you shall be the best criminal!
Villain Name: Dogman
Gimmick: A Man with the powers of a dog.
Real Name: Simon Hound
Short Description/Bio: Simon used to work in an animal testing lab, until he was bitten by a dog undergoing some kind of top secret tests. Now he is Dogman, with abilities including but not limited to improved hearing, awesome sense of smell, black and white vision, the need to pee on things and an odd attraction to butts.
You've managed to save $500 so far at your job at an animal testing lab, (6) which will go a long way towards paying for the uptown apartment you've recently moved into.
Eventual Villain Name: The Dragon
Gimmick: Dragons
Real Name (optional): Robert R. Maddox
Short Description/Bio:
Robert Maddox is a 27 year old man with slightly dark pale skin. He has green eyes, but wears contacts to tint his eye color to be red. He has slightly long black hair. He is slightly weaker than average, but is faster than average. He is serious when his mind is focused on a goal. He sometimes builds plans that can go wrong in a variety of ways. He has dragon wings tattooed on his back that he got from a night when he was drunk. One wing is dark red and the other is bright green.
While he is an atheist at heart, he had lost his job due to an economic downturn. He had been searching for employment, but his funds began to run low. Under promise of mystic power and steady employment, Robert Maddox took up a job with a local cult, but only after he found out they worshiped a dragon so it could be passed off as something it was not easier. Due to its few members and having recently joined the cult, he was stuck with the most menial jobs, but at least it is an income.
Before the downturn, Robert had been in a martial arts school, but due to how soon the downturn came up, he was only able to complete up to a yellow belt. He has learned the basic runes of the magic the cult uses to the point where he could have a general idea of what was occurring, but does not know the full extent of what is occuring. Of the magic that the cult teaches, he is more schooled in Pyromancy and Geomancy, but is lacking in Aura Detection and Summoning, and is currently unable to perform any spells due to not yet having passed the lowest status of the cult.
Dwelling:
At one point he lived in an nice apartment building, then he lost his job and he wound up having to live on the streets. When he joined the cult, they provided housing at their base of operations, an abandoned warehouse. Members higher up in the cult are set up in a nearby abandoned hotel.
With only $600 left to your name, you're glad to have employment, though you're quite skeptical of their claims of mystic power now. They have some strange things in their possession, but you're not so sure about actual magic, and this group is small in number and a bit low on resources. Still, they've got enough to pay, feed, and house you, so you can't really complain. And if they try something crazy, you figure your self-defense training could let you escape.
Villain Name: Schoolgirl
Gimmick: well, being a schoolgirl. She's not very creative.
Real Name (optional): Leah Liberty Lansbury
Short Description/Bio: 16 years old and full of hormones and violent impulses, Schoolgirl decided to start her own street gang, similarly composed of other schoolgirls. She even made herself a black bowler hat (because she vaguely remembers the opening scene of A Clockwork Orange and thought it looked kind of cool) and domino mask to go with her Catholic school uniform, so she's feeling really optimistic about this now.
With $600 dollars, you've started a gang of several of your fellows from a Catholic girl's school in (one of) the bad parts of Gotham, (3) where you live in a shitty apartment. So far you've only been stealing car stereos, but you have bigger dreams, since the "good girl" lifestyle just isn't for you...
Villain Name: SOUNDCLOWN (all caps only forever)
Gimmick: soundfuckery
Real Name (optional): abraham issac rihorn

A disgruntled electronic musician with only $900 and (4) a small apartment, you're disappointed by your failure to get your career off the ground, in addition to your family utterly falling apart. You've been DJ'ing at low-end clubs to make ends meet, but as the weeks of your sorry life go by, you grow increasingly bitter about your situation. No more...
Villain Name: Ze Frenchman
Gimmick: Being dangerously French
Real Name (optional): Pierre Lefou
Short Description/Bio: Sporting ze magnificent moustache, it is Ze frenchman's mission to liberate all the cheese and the wine from the miscriants of Gotham. These people would not know good cheese if it were to hit them in the face, a statement he is dying to test out some day. Looking like a stereotypical frenchmen and using all sorts of cheese and baguette themed items, he will bring Gotham to it's knees and shape it into something beautiful. He will shape it into Nouveau Paris!
In reality, Pierre is merely a french immigrant who has become disillusioned with the way life is in Gotham.
Life in this Gotham City is not at all what it was cracked up to be! It has left you with a mere $700 and (5) what these Americans claim to be a "nice" appartment. Pah! They would not know true class if it slapped them with the back of the hand! Well, you don't have to put up with this merde! You shall take matters into your own hands!
Villain Name: Urist McRobber
Gimmick: Dwarf stuff
Real Name (optional): Wolin Thomas
Short Description/Bio: A really short man who got obsessed by Dwarf Fortress and Bay12. So much that he's decided to start his own fortress underneath Gotham. Those elves tree-hugging hippies, humans, and goblins will soon face the wrath of Armok. Strike the Earth!
You have only $400, but a real dwarf could make do with even less! From your home in (2) the East-Side sewers, you shall make it happen!
