i literally just started their pinterest boards last night so they are in the beta testing phase of character creation. i figured id show yall how this starts. (technically i have come up with a whole thing for killer moth, but im restarting).
nadim was raised by a single father and he certainly had a childhood. he was indeed raised. (he was a boring as hell nobody).
until one day when a portal to the otherworld opened behind his minimum wage job. the fairies chose him as their mortal host, the servant used to do their bidding. at first he was exited! until the fairies told him to buy cocaine.
so he went off with his sparkly companions to buy drugs. nadim was a straight-laced fella and had no idea how to go about this, even in gotham. predictably, he got his ass beat by a small gang after some fairy-based shenaniganery. the fairies stopped any blows from landing with invulnerability and fairy dust shields. now nadim has magic!
next, the fairies told him to get revenge on the grave of a former minion. the one chosen a hundred years ago. he helped them sneak in, the madness of the fae slowly seeping into his brain. they destroyed the headstone and alerted the security guard. the fairies gave him super strength (something i forgot to include on the reference) and he hit the lady into traffic (she survived).
his final task was to get revenge on a previous minions descendant, bruce wayne. the fairies gave him supernatural charm (which he was barely able to use) to sneak past security and receptionists in wayne tower. when he finally reached the top, he discovered the identity of batman.
they fought, and nadim (sanity hanging on by a thread) bested batman in combat. the fairies wanted to hang him by his underwear over traffic before killing him, but nadim slipped and fell while tying the man to a gargoyle. he almost fell to his death, but the fairies gave him fairy wings!
he flew back up, but by this time batman had beat the fairies. he was about to apprehend nadim, but he managed to fly away (batman was light-headed from being upside down so long).
the fairies cursed him for his failure. batman didn't remember his encounter with nadim and the fae, and nadim would never be able to tell the truth. the fairies then returned to the otherworld.
nadim is now completely insane, hallucinating fairies, his greatest desire so close and yet so far. he desecrates graveyards, beats up groups of people he thinks are the "gang" and "kills" people by hanging them from their underwear. its all in a desperate attempt to please the fae, to make them lift the curse. it never works. he always goes back to arkham, hoarsely screaming words he can never say.
he does meet firefly and man-bat in arkham, which is nice!
