modern vintage au

(based on the rockabilly Batman sketches by Denis Medri) All of the standard main verse elements apply, but with the added twist of the modern vintage look. Dollface's appearance is largely inspired by Bettie Page and the early bondage pinup girls, combined with and masked by a deceptively innocent housewife vibe. Vintage lingerie with long lines and intricate details wrapped in the bright floral package of a well-groomed and well-behaved homemaker. Even in a city this full of colourful characters, Dollface makes an effort to stand out.

gotham verse

SEASON ONE

This verse follows most of the usual progression; season one ends with London's apartment being raided and charges being brought against them for assisting criminals.

SEASON TWO

Sage's lawyer gets them off the charges; they don't end up confined at Blackgate at all here. But it doesn't stop people from being the same judgmental assholes. No one trusts them much anymore. And then, when they start killing people, they're just as untraceable and smart about it. With the evidence falsified though, they're thrown in Arkham as per usual, and they catch the eye of Hugo Strange. While they don't get dragged into becoming one of his experiments, that's mostly due to sheer dumb luck and timing. When Strange is arrested, London is one of the inmates to make their escape.

SEASON THREE +

Free and roaming in the wake of the events of Strange’s arrest, London gives into the urges which had begun to plague them in Arkham. It’s at this point that they acquire the trademark doll joint tattoos and take on their new alias, Dollface. At first Dollface is just one of many escaped Arkham inmates, committing small crimes and mostly getting away with whatever they want while the GCPD focus on bigger problems.

dceu verse

Takes place in the timeline point where they've been confined at Belle Reve, and thus they're closer to 40 years old by now. Waller is of the opinion that their prolonged history of violence, and the seeming incapability to keep them confined at Arkham renders them a prime candidate for Belle Reve.

nolan verse

Applicable to the Nolan Batman universe and all muses within it. This verse takes place after London's five years at Blackgate, but before their incarceration at Arkham. They are still a member of Gotham's society, but largely by default and because no one really wants to cause a scene. People distrust and whisper rumors, which only intensify as people around them are found dead in increasing numbers.

main verse

Dollface deals in revenge and vengeance. They run an underground operation, somewhat like a P.I., that takes tips and clients. If someone hurt you, Doll will track them down, will find the evidence, and will ensure that they pay for what they've done. Doll sometimes takes on cases without provocation or a client- if they hear about the details in the news, or they hear a rumor, they'll investigate.

They're angry at the world, they want to hurt people the way they've been hurt. But enough of their core morals remain intact that they reserve their violence and their venom for people whom they feel undoubtedly deserve it. With these people often being in 'good standing' with the rest of Gotham, the GCPD is happy to label them a thug and a volatile murderer.

STATE OF HEALTH

Sage suffers from lingering affects of past drug use, persistent insomnia, and occasional migraines. Due to past trauma, they also regularly deal with mild psychosis, manifested as paranoia. They are known to be particularly masochistic, have a low regard for their own safety and survival, and deal with the daily effects of gender dysphoria.

CRIMINAL RECORD

Sage has been charged with the following: 1) possession of illicit substances, 2) aiding & abetting known criminals, 3) multiple counts assault, 4) multiple counts theft, 5) multiple counts murder. They initially served five years of a ten year sentence at Blackgate for the first 2 charges, and were released early on good behavior. Shortly after this, they were charged with their first murder, and sentenced to life at Arkham. It was after their first escape from the facility that they took on their new persona, and their crimes dramatically increased.

APPLICABLE SKILLS

Considerable knowledge of chemistry (specifically narcotics and poisons); photographic memory used in evidence-gathering to memorizing routines while tracking targets, and catalog expert medical/anatomical knowledge for use in hand-to-hand combat; extremely observant and perceptive. High pain tolerance.

QUIRKS & BEHAVIOR

Unabashedly and openly genderqueer in their attire choices; several tattoos including two full sleeves, and ones that make all of their joints appear to be doll-like, resembling those of a porcelain ball-jointed doll; tendency toward flirtation and dramatics.

AESTHETICS

Part glam-punk drag, part 80s club kid, performativity is extremely important. Doll motifs are recurring, but with a harder edge to them, drawing from their investment in punk music subculture. They often show a lot of skin and sometimes opt for elaborate makeup.

CRIMINAL MOTIVATION

Years of commodification and manipulation by both a trusted family member and the industry they devoted their life to. Dollface is anti-traditionalism, anti-conservatism, anti-elite assholes who abuse their power, especially to harm gender minorities. They primarily target, torture, and kill individuals who perpetrate abuse (especially sexual) and skirt legal punishment for their actions.

civil war verse

Dollface has been called many things: a terrorist, a traitor, a criminal. They've been a fugitive for years now, and they know how to play the game. They also know when standing up for what you believe in means being the 'bad guy' sometimes, and it is with this attitude that they take to Captain America's side in the dispute. They've long held the ideals of personal freedom close, clinging to them in particularly difficult periods of their life before this one. They offer shelter, supplies, and help in his fight.

mcu verse

A variant of the main verse that takes place specifically in the MCU (also the X-Men films as necessary). London becomes Dollface shortly before the first Avengers film, and comes to somewhat more prominence during the Winter Soldier era. A major arrest warrant is issued following their execution of a prominent CEO after some sexual assault charges are mysteriously dropped against him.

Dollface did not attend Xavier's school, and does not align with any particular mutant movement presently. Due to their unorthodox path to freedom, they met no other mutants growing up, and will be a new face to anyone in the main group.
