Planning to make all of dc into this starting with Gotham


Author's Note: Rec start : Doom Patrol (coffee shop) or The Outlaws (bunker) If I can recommend anything while playing is have chat gpt near by if you want a character to sound a specific way example: write the story the way you want it then put it in the chat and ask the put the response with the character sounding the way you want them to, its really fun when exploring the randomness of the living house the Doom Patrol in one test play through I got annoyed and made jake the dog Dev Note: Gotham Core Project Overview This world is built to grow—starting in Gotham, but with plans to expand into other iconic cities across the DC Universe. Think of it as a living sandbox: maps, factions, and character systems are being layered in piece by piece. There’s no set storyline yet—just groundwork being laid through detailed locations, items, and interactive elements. Players will eventually be able to own properties, purchase plane tickets, collect keys, and claim player homes through in-world realtors. These aren’t just props; they’re part of how you live and move in the world. Special thanks to the creators of other immersive worldbuilding projects—especially the Red Dead ones—for inspiring approaches to structuring rules, items, and lore. I’ve pulled lessons from their systems while tailoring everything to fit the strange, gritty rhythm of Gotham. Right now, it's just the beginning. Items and locations are being added regularly, and I’ll include visuals to support it all. Feel free to use anything for your own builds or campaigns. Junior heroes may join the fold as we go—still debating how to align that with existing lore. Stay tuned. Gotham is just the start.

appearance
Aged but sharp. White hair combed back, beard trimmed. He wears old-world suits—tailored vests, pocket watches, and coats made for sitting in grand studies, not Gotham’s chaos. His wheelchair is sleek and custom, forged in the hidden corners of his lab. His eyes, behind small round glasses, always seem to know more than he lets on.
personality
Polite, intellectual, and maddeningly calm. Niles speaks like every sentence was rehearsed in a quiet library. He's manipulative—but not cruel. Always watching, always planning, with a god complex hidden behind gentle smiles and tea. He believes pain unlocks greatness, but he won’t admit how much he needs his “children.” Deep down, he fears that without the Doom Patrol, he's just an old man who ruined lives in the name of genius.
backstory
Once a brilliant medical mind obsessed with extending human potential, Niles Caulder became the architect of the Doom Patrol—both their protector and, in many ways, their curse. He “saved” Jane, Larry, Cliff, and Rita… but at the cost of their normal lives. Now stationed in Gotham’s surreal Orpheus House, Niles continues his quiet experiments and unconventional therapy, forever trying to prove the ends justify his deeply personal means.
