I'm Shroud, a vigilante from another world!

Call me Shroud or Jess

Pronouns: She/They

Age: 17

Some backstory:

A teen living with her parents in Los Angeles who saw heroes without powers in her favorite comics and wanted to be like them. To help her city, & her people. How did she get to this universe, and why is she in Gotham specifically? Who knows.

OCSN account: "@theshroud"

(not very active but I'll respond to interaction)

Extra info:

- Jess lives with her parents. She gets good grades, so they don't "interfere" with her life much.

- Costume and tools are homemade

- Shroud has been a vigilante for a little over 2 years

- The main villains they face are a pair of Lesbian mob bosses

- Most people, civilians, heroes, and villains alike, all assume that Shroud is in their early 20s.

- Another villain is just Calendar man but more threatening

Friends! (Anyone can ask to be added)

Shroud's Physical Traits

Height: ~5'6 or 168 cm, add an extra inch (~3 cm) when in costume

Looks: Black hair in a shortish layered cut, brown eyes, a sizable scar on their shoulder that can't be seen under costume or clothing

Every part of their costume is either dark grey or black. It's all homemade and sort of heavy-looking.

There are lots of pockets all over, filled with various tools, and steel on the toes of the boots. The cloak is large enough to wrap around them but small enough to maneuver around in, with a purposefully tattered hem, and the hood somehow always stays on when moving. They have on a large scarf/mask, as well as elbow and knee pads.

OOC

Hi, I'm mun! I may not be a minor, but please no NSFW. Nothing even remotely close. This is an OCxDC acc, it's meant to be mostly lighthearted.

This is a sideblog, so liking and following from me won't show as from this blog

Some rules:

- Be nice, be patient. Try to keep things lighthearted.

- I'll say it again for good measure: no NSFW!!! Mun is not a minor but the character is.

- Similar to previous, no flirting. Even if it's in character or coming from a minor, it makes me uncomfortable.

- No homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, abelism, or any kind of hate.

what's your favorite non-weapon tool to use?

mine is probably smoke bombs, I don't use them often but when I do the effect is spectacular

- @shroudingotham

ohh this a good question

i was gonna say smoke bombs too but don't want to see like a copy cat thats more Catwoman's jon

would food count??, for some reason i always end up at a restaurant or some kind of place that has food when fighting rogues, and i always use food to distract them or block their vison in some way.

[shroudingotham]

That's... an unusual method, albeit an interesting one

Don't you have a villain called Condiment King? Does that fare well in fights against him?

[n0t-a-ghost-a-phantom]

sometimes I just throw a burger at him so he can add some ketchup on it so I can a yummy patrol snack

This is an open invitation to ask my muse whatever you damned well please.

Inbox is always open and I know someone must hold curiosities.

[kafkicoddities]

SEND "What is this?" FOR MY MUSE TO PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR MUSE'S HAND.

everyday struggle i fear

[batgirlspain]

What are five of the most useful skills you've learned as Batgirl?

Narrowing it down to five is cruel, Anon, but here goes!

1.- Detective work. Patterns, clues, digital trails… most cases are solved with your brain, not your fists. The mask helps, but the real weapon is curiosity.

2.- Hand-to-hand combat. Sometimes talking doesn’t work. Knowing how to end a fight quickly (and preferably without permanent damage) is a very useful skill in Gotham.

3.- Gymnastics and movement. Rooftops, fire escapes, gargoyles… Gotham’s basically one giant obstacle course. Balance, flexibility and knowing how to land without breaking anything are essential.

4.- Tech and hacking. Cameras, security systems, encrypted files… you’d be amazed how many ‘locked’ doors open if you know the right code.

5.- Resilience. You make mistakes. You get hurt. You lose sometimes. What matters is learning from it and getting back out there the next night.

Bonus skill: typing very fast while wearing gloves. Don’t ask how long that took to master.

Thank you so much for asking! I must admit it's a very good question! Wanna know more? Then bring it on! Ask me more questions!

Debating on becoming a vigilante thoughts??

[localbatburgerworker]

Update! I found an abandoned gym were I live and most of the equipment still works locking in fr!!!

[shroudingotham]

Being a vigilante is very fun but trust me when I say it is so much work

(My muse’s reaction to seeing your muse’s scars)

Looking over Shroud’s scattered scars from a careful distance, Dick felt a bit sad to see them on someone around his age. Sure, all vigilantes were bound to get scars, but the reminder of the injuries was not a pleasant thought.

Then Dick’s eyes drifted over to Shroud’s shoulder, and a particularly ragged scar stretching across its surface. Worry flickered in his eyes as he took a small step forward to look at it clearer.

“…when did you get this?” He asked quietly, looking over at her face.

[shroudingotham]

Shroud wrapped gauze around their wounded arm, trying to go fast without seeming hurried.

"Get what?"

They finished the wrap and adjusted their mask slightly. It's not often they're so close to someone in costume, outside of fighting.

[renegadetitan]

Dick’s eyebrows pushed together as he watched Shroud wrap up the scar and try to pretend like they didn’t know what he was talking about. It was a bit obvious, but Dick knew that was just because they were probably nervous or uncomfortable with the topic.

“The scar. On your arm,” he tried as careful as he could. If Shroud kept avoiding the topic, Dick wouldn’t push, but— he wanted to make sure they were okay.

[shroudingotham]

"The big one? It was about a year ago, back home. Almost took me out of the business."

Shroud paused to look at Renegade curiously before pulling their costume over their shoulder and clicking different pieces back into place.

[renegadetitan]

Dick shifted back a bit to not crowd Shroud while they put their costume pieces back on. He adjusted his shoulder pads idly.

“It looks like it could’ve,” he hummed. “…how did you get it?” He asked carefully.

[shroudingotham]

Shroud put the last pieces of their costume back in place and stood up, their cape cloaking around them.

"That is a very long story."

They gave Renegade a look from under their hood, signalling that they were done with that conversation.

[renegadetitan]

Dick gave a short nod, acknowledging Shroud’s clear indication that they did not want to keep talking about this. The story wasn’t his to hear.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t stop the incessant worm in his brain that wanted to make sure they were at least okay, but he tried not to be forceful or prying with his next question.

“Did it heal okay, at least?”

[shroudingotham]

"Took a while, big gash like that. I'm fine now."

Shroud took out a scuffed grapple and checked over it.

"I doubt you're clear of scars, either."

[renegadetitan]

Dick nodded again, glad that they were instead despite whatever happened to give them that scar. He shift e a bit at the mention of his own scars.

“…you aren’t wrong about that,” he tried to be lighthearted, shrugging.

[shroudingotham]

Shroud pointed their grapple up at a nearby roof and gave Renegade a nod.

"I should probably go. See you around?"
