Character Bio - After the Joker's "Killing Joke" leaves Commissioner James Gordon's daughter Barbara paralyzed below the waist, thus ending her fledgling career as Batgirl, she picks up the pieces of her life, mastering skills both in martial arts - notably with the use of eskrima - and computers. As the DCU's foremost computer hacking expert and all-around brainiac, Barbara takes on the identity of Oracle and leaves the confines of the Batman family. She uses her newfound prowess to aid the vigilantes of Gotham, the Justice League, the Justice Society, The Birds of Prey (a group she founds with Black Canary), and even a series of new Batgirls. Her computer skills allow her to help in areas such as surveillance, information gathering, tracking criminals down, masking heroic identities, and circumventing villainous security protocols. It is not until she's confined to a wheelchair that Barbara Gordan finds her greatest strengths - not as Batgirl, but as Oracle.

NAME = ORACLE
SECRET IDENTITY = BARBARA GORDON

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = STRATEGIST
PERSONALITY = BRILLIANT

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 1

TACTICAL SURVEILLANCE
When rolling for initiative, you may add 3 to your roll for each Order Marker on this card.

SECRET ATTACK PLAN
Before any figure you control attacks with a normal attack, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card and add one automatic skull to that attack.

CONTINGENCY PLAN
While Oracle is in play, when an Army Card you control has all of its figures destroyed, you may immediately remove any unrevealed Order Markers from that card and place them on any other card you control.

Reserved for future awesome comment.

Gordon

Pair her with Loki. Wow!
So it will need to say "your" instead of "the" referencing X OM.

With her cheerleader powers not needing line of sight, she might come in higher than 110. Salvaging lost OMs is potentially a very big deal.

Nice Strategist powers.

[IAmBatman]

Shout out to Necroblade for the Contingency Plan power that this is just a slight tweak of. And thanks to Griff for all the help putting this design together.

Edit: 110 is a pulled out of thin air guestimate, so you might be right. Will fix Gordon.

[IAmBatman]

What about "an" X Order Marker? No reason she can't use the power twice when she's paired with Loki.

[Griffin]

CONTINGENCY PLAN
If Oracle is still in play, when all figures on an Army Card you control are destroyed, you may immediately remove any unrevealed Order Markers from that card and place them on any other card you control instead.

I think the timing here is a tad unclear. Also, the "instead" is weird and unnecessary.

How about this:

CONTINGENCY PLAN
When an Army Card you control has all of its figures destroyed, you may immediately remove any unrevealed Order Markers from that card and place them on any other card you control, as long as Oracle is still in play.

[IAmBatman]

I'm fine with that update once the "breathing period" is up. Thanks, Griff.

Hands down number 7 for me.

[IAmBatman]

I think that might be the best as well. I like how #6 has the computers and the Escrimina, but there's a bit too much boobage there for the character, IMO.

I love it. & I love #7 comic. (that's the one I picked out almost a year ago )
