A little over a year has passed since my old life ended, since I died and was reborn. The shadows remain, but only to give contrast to the light. I am no longer a distaff impersonation of someone else — I’m me, more me than I have ever been. I embrace it, and the light, with a deep, continuing joy.

Welcome to the game; you are Oracle
REAL NAME:: Barbara Gordon
ALIGNMENT: Scum
GENERIC: Investigator
WIN CONDITION: Scum control the voting and all malicious third parties (PFK) are neutralized
BACKGROUND:
Once upon a time - a whole lifetime ago - you were Batgirl. You remember those days with fondness; in those days, you put on an old dance leotard and an outstanding red wig, found bad guys, and punched them in the face. You were younger, stronger, and more eager than you are today. And you were a little reckless. Yes, that, too.
Everybody knows the Joker for his goofy traps and poisons, but when he came for you he came with the most mundane of weapons - a .45. Two ordinary little bullets to the base of your spine and now you'll never walk again.
You had your bitter phase, and then your out-for-vengeance phase, but in time you found a way to reinvent yourself from the ground up. You used your natural affinity for computers and your father's police contacts to fashion yourself as a source of constantly updated intelligence on every subject, an answer for every question - a modern-day oracle, albeit one confined to a WayneTech wheelchair.
The man who gave you that wheelchair fell at Arkham four years ago. Since then you have kept the lowest of low profiles - you're a lot less reckless than you were as Batgirl - but you've also kept tabs on... well, everything. You've expanded your network on surveillance equipment one carefully placed camera at a time, and your databases have flourished.
A few weeks ago, Jean-Paul Valley, a former colleague of Bruce's who went by the name of Azrael, found you and led you, of all places, into the Bat Cave. He explained to you his plan - to bring back Batman, to retake the city. He showed you some tech he'd created from Bruce's designs - something to make you just ambulatory enough to fool the psycho brigade. He told you that he'd found others, others willing to join him. And he asked for your help.
It took you all of ten seconds to agree. You may be older, and wiser, but as it turns out, you're still a little reckless after all.
POWERS:
You may execute the Scum Night kill if you are chosen to do so. If you execute the Scum Night kill, you may not use any of your primary powers, described below.
Each Night, you may use your considerable array of surveillance equipment to do one of the following:

Each Night, you may use your considerable array of surveillance equipment to do one of the following:
1. Watch a Target: If you do this, you will learn the identity of all players who target your target with an action; you will not learn what action was taken.
2. Track a Target: If you do this, you will learn the identity of all players targeted by your target; you will not learn what action was taken.
3. Investigate a Dead Target: If you do this, you will receive a detailed description of the fallen player's powers and abilities (if any). You may use this ability only once.
