"Narci. You wouldn't" 

"You're right, Nash. I wouldn't." Narci sits over him, smiling as his face warps into something dark. Lifting the knife up to his own neck, the demon that's left says. "I could never hurt you." 

Nash wakes up from his nap with a strangled scream. 

"God damn it." Drenched in a cold sweat, he groans, and drags himself out of bed to take a shower. When he sees himself in the mirror, he can't help but look at the thin scar line on his cheek and scowl. 

God damn it all.

Nash, when he was first picked up, didn't say much about his father or home life. He was talkative until that topic came up, and then he would always get really quiet and shrug a lot. 

He wound up being like a shadow to Puzzles, until Puzzles sort of welcomed the attachment. He was the first person Nash confided in exactly what kind of abuse he was going through at home, which is why Puzzles was the one to take control of the situation, go to Nash's home, and beat his father to death.

GangAU

The gang didn't find Nash, Nash found them. When he was thirteen or fourteen, he witnessed a heist and got curious, so the next time he saw them, he followed. He was a scrawny, curious, wise ass little shit, and showed clear signs of abuse so that when he was either caught following them or made it to their hide out, they figured he fit the criteria for a Riddler perfectly.

GangAU Nash probably gets loads of girls (and guys) But he hardly ever sleeps with any of them. He just likes knowing that people find him attactive

Riddler Gang AU

Nash was picked up by Puzzles when he was really young, and he's been with the gang ever since. He dresses like a teenager, wearing mostly black jeans and green hoodies, and he always carries a Rubik's Cube with him to keep his hands busy.  He never can decide where he wants to put his bandana. It usually goes around his wrist, but when he's sneaking around places he shouldn't be, sometimes he'll tie it around his face to keep everything but his eyes hidden.

He's a bit of a kleptomaniac, which has turned him into a damn good thief. If anyone needs to get their hands on something, Nash could easily get it. His small size makes it easy for him to go places undetected, and he uses that to his advantage (often sneaking out to follow the rest of the gang even though they tell him to stay at home). Nash is glued to Puzzles, and he idolizes him. He shadows the older Riddlers, learning how to survive by watching them.

His need to keep his hands busy leads to him spending a lot of time tinkering. He makes Riddler Trophies almost as fast as they need them, but he's still trying to improve and perfect the art (to impress Mom, of course)

His tattoo is on his upper right arm and his weapon of choice is a cane that he made himself, or his knives.

Nash managed to get kidnapped by a rival gang once when he went out when he wasn't supposed to. The question mark scar on his back came from that, and Nash wears it with pride.

Enygma was an early member of the gang. He's been through a lot, but no one knows exactly WHAT happened to him. There are rumors, but none of them are constant. This is how he likes it.

He doesn't really fight much anymore, preferring to leave that to the younger members of the gang. He prefers to make deals, instead. 

When it comes to his clothes, a green suit is what he prefers. He uses a gun as his weapon, and keeps his bandana folded in his pocket or around his wrist.

The first tattoo he got was on his neck, but since then, he's given himself more on his arms and on his hip.

Nash wants to be like Puzzles who wants to be like Arkham

I can't see where that could possibly go wrong

The Cane

Eddie avoided it the best he could. He didn't want to touch it, he didn't want to look at it. But, he couldn't help but leave the cane in plain sight. He walked by it constantly, and the shine of the question mark always caught his eye.

It's been three days. His mind reminded him softly as Eddie passed by the cane yet again.  

It couldn't hurt just to reach out and touch it... With that thought in mind, he hesitantly grabbed for the cane. It felt so right in his hand. He turned it over, and placed it on the ground, leaning on it. Eddie headed over to a mirror with it over it's shouldn't touching it to the ground again  and looking at himself.

The cane added something to his appearance. It made him look suave; more powerful. He smirked at his reflection, striking a pose. "Riddle me this..." He flourished the cane, striking another pose with it. He continued to amuse himself with it, for a while, until his eyes met the mirror again. 

He didn't just look different. Ever since that night, he's felt a little different too. The weird part was, it wasn't a bad kind of different. He ran his hand over the cane thoughtfully.

Things were starting to change. He could feel it.
