This is Anarky

Like most kids, Anarky had spent his teenage years butting heads with a variety of authority figures. However, in his case, "a variety of authority figures" included Batman and the U.S. Government.

Heads up, left over stc guys and random dc-universe followers, I'm going to be converting this blog within a few weeks to a different/52 Anarky for my Justice League/DC Universe game Dear Caped Crusaders. If you see activity, that's why.

Gordon: This is Gordon Anarky: I know who you are. Gordon: Who is this? Anarky: I've seen your record. Impressive. In a city full of dirt, you're the only one with a clean jacket. Gordon: I need a trace started! Anarky: But despite a clean record, you are still just an instrument of oppression at the beck and call of your corporate masters. Gordon: I work for the city of Gotham, not some corporation. Anarky: Are you really so naive? The government is owned by corporate America, the city is owned by Bruce Wayne, and the mayor wouldn't wipe his ass without permission from people like Rupert Thorne. You're a cog in the machine, Gordon. And that machine is voracious. That machine must be stopped. Gordon: So you're doing me a favor of some kind? Anarky: That's right. I'm here to help the misguided. Despite your chosen profession, your record suggest you could be reformed. So, a warning: get out, Gordon. Get out while you can. Gordon: Hello? Hello? Did we get the trace? Encrypted? Sonuva Bi--

War seems like a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know. Then they get a taste of battle. For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they’ve been gutted by an axe. They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now, They take the wound, and when that’s still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water. If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron half helm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the small folk whose land they’re fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it’s just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don’t know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they’re fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad in all steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world. And the man breaks.

Gotham Graffiti: We Fear What Hides in the Dark

[batmanismisguided]

I don't care what people think. 

[batmanismisguided]

... It didn't seem fair to me. But then I knew that fairness had nothing to do with it. It was about control. Something Anarky would never submit to. As I watched him disappear back into secrecy and rumor, I remembered what he'd said to me on this very roof. 'The radical of one century is the conservative of the next.' For a moment, I wished that I could take his place for him. It soon passed.

Previously Upper Middle Class (When his father's business was doing well — it's how they put him through his two successful years at the academy. Now that it's failing, they're struggling to even keep up on their rent on both nice properties. Lonnie's all-paid for apartment and his tuition are an additional strain.) ■┋EDUCATION LEVEL: Gotham Honor College ■┋DEGREES: High School Diploma, Associate's Degree  ■┋CRIMINAL RECORD (as Lonnie): Three Years (and change) Term at Gotham Juvenile Prison. One month lockup, early release and extra privileges for exceptional behavior in final year. Arrested and found guilty (as an adolescent) on charges of: disruption of the peace, breaking and entering, trespassing, and vandalism. ■┋CRIMINAL RECORD (as Anarky/Moneyspider): wanted on a state and federal level for Conspiracy, Cyber Espionage, Disruption of Justice, Unauthorized Use of A Computer, Computer Tampering in the first degree, Unlawful duplication of computer related material in the first degree, Intercepting a Communication, Disclosing an Intercepted Communication, Trespassing in a Government Computer, Obtaining National Security Information, Unlawful Access to Stored Communications, Recklessly Damaging by Intentional Access, and suspected: Cyberterrorism and Information Warfare.

■┋FACE CLAIM: Nate Gill ■┋HEIGHT: 6'0". ■┋WEIGHT: 180 lbs. ■┋HAIR: Brown with Reddish Hues. Now cut to the quick, but grows in messy spikes and waves when given the chance.  ■┋EYE COLOR: Brown. ■┋DOMINANT HAND: Ambidextrous. ■┋SCARS: Two small scars on either side of his temple, and a few normal scars on his knees. One white scar on his left elbow from his battle with Firefly in June 2014.  ■┋PIERCINGS: Forward helix piercing on the left ear, lobes on either side unused. ■┋VOICE QUALITY: Speech Sample - Matthew Mercer (Anarky), Speech Sample - Jason Marsden (Kovu). Singing voice (for fun).  ■┋BUILD: Exceptionally Toned, but svelt. Swimmer's build. Peak condition.

■┋STAFF/BATON: Golden and metallic, Anarky's primary accessory extends from a baton length to a full staff. A weapon of his own design, the staff houses an electrical charge activated (and deflected) by the tech built into his gloves. It works much like a taser. On the reverse end, a tension cable and pressure launch system turn the weapon into more of a tool; it serves a double purpose as a grapple gun. ■┋GLOVES: 'Fingerless' black gloves that connect directly to the skin at the pads of his fingers. Referred to in the system as the IGs (Interface Gloves). Imperceptibly thin magnets signal information to his weapons and his mask, and (when he uses the stealth adaption of ASL he created himself) they're capable of recording data on technology he touches or even physically kickstarting one of his programs, taking over vital operations, or logging data on another computer or server. Letting Anarky near propriety or sensitive technology is therefore an awful idea — if you know about them.  ■┋OTHER: All manner of non-lethal equipment. All built by himself, Anarky's weapons are generally protest-oriented and thrown together from supplies at the Hardware or haggled for from benign criminals. Flare guns, Flash Bangs, Electroshock weapons, gas bombs, pepper spray, and assorted gadgets are all common. 

Most common combination for 'vigilante' contexts. There are over five variations of the Anarky uniform, and two full masks.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS ■┋MOTHER: Roxanne Machin (nee Walker). Forty-five. Afro Latina second generation immigrant from Cuba. Fiercely maternal and savvy, but succumbing to stress and anxiety over her son's 'hobby.' Found Lonnie when she was a ward nurse at the Booker Institute (before finishing her certification and becoming an accountant) twenty years ago and fought for custody. ■┋FATHER: Mike Machin. Forty-nine. Generally a quiet and reserved man. Charming, but introverted. Was suspected of being and claimed to be Anarky (to Batman's face) before relenting to his son's arrest seven years ago. Owns and operates Machin's (and son) Hardware. ■┋BIRTH PARENTS: The Joker (not common knowledge, and unbeknownst to Lonnie) and a petty thief and exotic dancer named Greta Mitchell.  SIGNIFICANT OTHER RELATIONSHIPS ■┋IMPORTANT MISC.

Oh, yes, I remember young Lonnie, all right! Sad boy, I always thought. Old before his time. Didn't make friends easily. Spent too much time in places like this. Reading, always reading. Far too serious.
