Bruce-mun here.

I'm playing Bruce as an eight year old, without a year clear memory of being an eight year old (was much too old for my age), so if Bruce seems a bit too old/young, feel free to poke me.

Also? If anyone wants to make Bruce *sane* I would love you, as much as he is trying not to be.

Er... possible help with sanity here... er... why's he insane? I've missed a bit....

Bruce is eight. His parents were murdered in front of him not very long ago. He is obsessed with stopping all crime, which drives him to become Batman.

::hands Tim-mun a copy of Batman: Year One, so he can learn his canon.::

Bruce is adorable, and Santa is always willing to help.

Thank you.

OOoh, can I help?
Batman is one of Raph's few fanboy idols.

[mynameisbruce.livejournal.com]

Sure, but remember Raph will be dealing with a eight-year old, who will be asking for martial arts instruction as soon as he finds out Raph knows martial arts.

[mnt_raph]

The closest Raph has ever been to an 8 year old, was being one himself. Since he was learning how to kill people and wield sharp objects at that age I don't think he'll have much of a problem teaching them.

Aside from the fact that he's never been around actual children before.

Claudia is probably the sort of little girl that Bruce would take under his wing, for she adeptly plays the innocent.

Batman in his final incarnation would probably find plenty of reasons to dislike her, should he come to know her well. So where is 8-yr old Bruce amidst all this? I do not how Claudia would be of help, but it could amount to some interesting roleplay.

For example: Bruce seeing more vividly what he disapproves of and works towards destroying, or Bruce being filled with a desire for vengeance yet still somewhat naiive as well.

In any case, I can offer you some empathy - it is a little strange to be playing a character who is a child, and not quite a child.

Ulfin likes kids. In a completely non-creepy way, I promise - he just does. Feel free to have Bruce come say hello sometime.

Well, Cordelia has had the raising of another small traumatized boy whose parents were killed when he was four. Little Gregor is now in his early forties, and recently married, and by all accounts startlingly well-adjusted. (Oh, and also Emperor of Barrayar, but that was sort of out of either of their hands.)

Cordelia would just love to help li'l Bruce, but her mun is a tad bit inhibited by the knowledge that if Bruce gets decent therapy at this age, he'll never be Batman.

So ... I guess let's see what happens.

[mynameisbruce.livejournal.com]

You see, I know that, but I kinda want him to be normal. Which is odd, because Bruce-mun has been having a passionate love affair with all things Batman since about the age of 5, but really, would you want to know that you were inflicting that kind of psychosis on a child when you can fix them? Besides, I have a feeling Milliways is either going to help, or really, really add to the insanity.

Snow seemed to get along well with Bruce when they met earlier; she's a decent mother figure, especially to those who aren't really 'normal' children(Bruce would fit this description). She's also tough enough that she would approve of/aid in his combat training. And I think that you can probably blame some aspect of his upbringing or experiances if he seems to swing too far in one direction or another, age-wise.
