Patches

he/him [under construction]

[patchwork-gotham]

"Watch your step."

They call me Patches, 'cause of my pants. You don't get to know anythin' else.

I may look young, but I can handle myself. I ain't stupid, don't baby me.

I ain't supposed to be here. That's all I'll say on the matter.

I hate the Clown and I hate the Bat. Their allies are on thin ice.

Notes:

Patches is a Duke Thomas variant based on the Arkhamverse. He accidentally slipped through universes and ended up here, and is trying to settle because he thinks he's stuck.

He's a street kid, hardened by trauma and grief. He had a brief stint with the LOA, and his training shows.

He's around 12, though he tries to act older/more mature. He's also small for his age due to spending some formative years on the streets.

He frequents the library.

Appearance wise, he typically wears a yellow jacket, black shirt, and black cargo pants with multiple miscellaneous patches sewn into it. He tries to cover his face when possible. His hair is uneven and short, and he's got a few scars on his arms, back, and face.

Mun is an adult, but patches is a minor. Please treat us accordingly!

The omegaverse has people with secondary genders.

Yours would be omega

Is— is that a compliment or an insult?

What sort of traits or characteristics do you use to decide who is who?

What sort of socioecological benefit do secondary genders even have? It feels trivial.

[patchwork-gotham]

sometimes i wonder if it's worth figurin' out what i missed out on when i was out. now is not one of those times.

based on what i do know, 'think it's an insult.

Gonna start blaming my social blunders on the System

[patchwork-gotham]

it's always the system's fault. everythin' is.

[jean-paul-azrael]

My first social blunder I'm blaming on it is that I'm talking about a different kind of System

[patchwork-gotham]

...I don't trust any system so i'll agree with ya.

[boundtobeahare]

ITS RAINING.

[patchwork-gotham]

intersection of rush and sapphire there's an apartment building with the big paintin' of Batman on the side. if you hop up to the fire escape right above it, the third level window opens pretty easy and you can crash in there. smells like shit and I'm pretty sure it's infected with somethin' but if you stay in a closet or somethin' it can be warm. also, I snagged a decent raincoat out of a dono bin the other day. green and missin' the armpits, but it might help.

[may-chaos-reign]

hey ma'am uh red hood said you were chill so do you mind just standin' ominously 'n lettin' me pretend I know you for a few minutes. no reason.

-"patches"

Sure!

If Red Hood trusts you!

[patchwork-gotham]

we don't know each other much, just... you seem scary enough.

He shifts his weight, glancing behind him as he adjusts his backpack straps, a nervous habit. After a moment, he stands beside you, head held high in faux confidence, fiddling with his nails.

thanks.

//finding funny things an oc could respond to but getting anxious about doing so is one special kind of hell 😔

[[ agreed LMAO ]]

[gotham-city-animal-shelter]

if I get supplies from the shelter you ain't gonna, like, call the cops on me or somethin'? I ain't doin' anythin' illegal, just "concerned citizens" keep tryin' to make shit worse for me.

I don’t know who you are but I don’t have a very good opinion of the cops. I can’t stop if someone else calls, but I can’t say we have any plans here. Just no funny business.

we stay strapped here.
