Fae Joker AU-

A brief overview of Fae and Changelings

Fae Joker AU Masterpost Link

The abilities of Fae

True Fae (Joker, Lady Shiva, Constantine) and Half-Fae (Anarky, Cassandra Cain) are born with wings that they can extend and hide at will. When hidden, they appear as markings on their backs.

The Joker had Dragonfly wings, which were burned off when he fell into a vat of acid while traveling through Gotham in an attempt to meet the local cryptid (Batman). This, along with Gotham’s curse, caused his mind to break as he grew crueler and more sadistic in his ‘jokes’, peaking when he killed Jason Todd as the second Robin and maimed Anarky, his own son.

Anarky and Cass have different ways of hiding their wings to protect their civilian identities.

Cass has owl wings, and has never shown them in public, to the point people assume she is human. This is especially funny when they ask her about Dick (who is human) being a Fae.

Anarky has dragonfly wings like the Joker, and has shown them in public as his appearances both as Jokers child and later as Bruce Wayne’s son and ward. When he goes out as Corvid, he uses his magic to make them appear like raven wings.

Fae have illusion type magic, as well as an integral sense of things. This could be called high wisdom, or intuition, but putting an exact definition done is near impossible as it develops differently in every Fae.

True Fae cannot lie. Even the Joker, poisoned and altered by the acid, cannot lie. Joker’s ‘lies’ are a direct result of his delusions altering his mind and what he believes to be true. Most Fae speak through half truths.

Half Fae can lie, but it is painful and immediately evident in their appearance. It goes against their nation and this reflex can not be trained away. This is why it is important for them to learn to only say what is needed and redirect the conversation as needed.

Fae are weakened by iron

True Names hold indomitable sway over Fae, forcing them to do the speakers bidding and causing them immense pain. Only the parent of a Fae knows another’s name, and even the accidental speaking of a name is considered a tremendous breach of trust.

Most fae go by simple names such as ‘Lady Shiva’ ‘Joker’, ‘Anarky’.

Anarky keeps the placeholder name his father (Joker) gave him, as it is a reminder that he can choose his own path, regardless of others.

Extra tidbit: Joker was originally a kind parent who spent every sane moment caring for his son, the child he had with Batman, his own true match. Bruce left Anarky on the belief that Joker was better suited to care for a Fae child and that Joker would never hurt his own son. This was true for many years, but the gradual deterioration of Joker’s sanity eroded even his compassion for his son.

The abilities of Changelings

Tim Drake is a changeling, bargained for by his parents who needed an heir to secure the Drake Inheritance.

Changelings are considered a lesser fae, and not much is know about them other than how they come into the world to people in need/want of children.

Changeling DNA is not inheritable, so there are no half changelings.

Changeling children are very intelligent creatures, who adapt well to their surroundings and can often take care of themselves from a young age.

Changelings can change their appearance, but otherwise have no magic abilities. Most never awaken this ability in the first place, keeping the same form.

Changelings are attuned to magic, though not as much as other magical races. They can sense strong magic influences as slight fluctuations in energy or ‘vibes’.

There was a brief overview of the fae races for my Fae Joker AU. Next up will be demons and ghosts. Why? Damian is half-demon and Jason is a ghost inhabiting his former body, that was strengthened by Talia and the Lazarus pit. (And Steph as part vampire.)

Lonnie was really like, “Okay, so there’s one (1) ethical billionaire, but his friends suck so he sucks too.”

I made myself laugh

propaganda:

The chemistry. the banter. Being a hacker and bisexual are too coolest things in 1995. The way years later Tim created an entire vr suit/world for Lonnie when he was fully paralyzed so they could team up to defeat DC's darkweb the Ünternet.

(second propaganda is very long so it goes beneath a read more)

Lonnie is the first vigilante peer Tim interacted with and a major part of Tim's first solo detective case before becoming Robin - their histories are connected inside and outside of the comics, as Lonnie was the third Robin that never was and Tim is the third Robin that was. Tim maintains the myth of the Bat and Lonnie works to render the need for it obsolete (despite admiring Batman to a degree) which makes for interesting contrast. Tim's been at least somewhat interested in talking to and understanding Lonnie since their first interaction despite their couple of clashes, offering to discuss Anarchist politics with him, and Lonnie is someone often misunderstood by the wider vigilante community. Their banter is fun when they're up against each other, and Tim arrives at the conclusion that they'd make a good team the second time they meet. Tim makes a few comments here and there about how Lonnie's motivations are right and how his heart's in the right place, proving a sympathy with his cause even if it chafes against Batman's. Later on, Tim saves Lonnie's life when he's about to die after getting trapped attached to a blimp set to explode. Tim saves Lonnie's life again when Lonnie's kidnapped by Ulysses Armstrong at the end of his Robin solo, beforehand starting to correspond with Lonnie to try to track him down and rescue him and then actually rescuing him with Ulysses makes Tim choose between apprehending him and saving Lonnie. Tim in Red Robin shows signs of liking Lonnie, teaming up with him, being very concerned about his well being, even calling him his "best friend" a few times, even if sarcastically. Lonnie uses the fact that Tim understands him and how he operates to convince Tim to let him deal with the Unternet. Tim defends Lonnie's character. There's a lot of potential for the two of them any way you slice it (because there is some rivalry, annoyance, mistrust present), but I think they're people who are both similar enough to each other and different enough from each other in ways that would challenge each other to reflect on aspects of themselves, and there's nothing Tim loves more than someone who challenges him. Lonnie's painfully lonely and often needs others to drag him back down from the clouds when his well-intentioned schemes get out of hand as well as thoughts that he's the only one who can actually save the world, and Tim tends to connect or connect well with others, working well with a team. Lonnie is someone who has big, alternative ideas about society and how to deal with societal issues and has the drive to get things done, which I think would be good for Tim who is so averse to becoming like Batman, and they make nice conversation partners. There's more I could say but this is already getting so long. TL;DR timlonnie sweep forever.
