Seasoned:</strong>Kate is highly intelligent, athletically gifted, and extremely disciplined. She has been trained by the best experts Colonel Kane could retain in a wide variety of useful skills (hand-to-hand combat, acrobatics, stealth, forensics, interrogation and the like - she’s not trained as a pilot, though) and building up on her quasi-Olympic level of skill in gymnastics.<br/><strong>2.) Intimidating:</strong>Kane does a lot of physical intimidation and violent interrogation work - though she wouldn’t torture or deliberately maim people. She leverages her considerable presence, her impressive vampire-like looks in costume, the bat symbol, her excellent training in psychology and interrogation, being obviously willing and able to hit people really really hard, suddenly shifting toward feminine protectiveness, etc. to achieve remarkable results. Batwoman often sports a nice smile or smirk, which in context generally comes across as smugly menacing or vampire-like.<br/><strong>3.) Hand-to-Hand Combat:</strong>Bawoman is a soldier with a special operations outlook, and she doesn’t believe in prancing around. She generally attacks by surprise and with a lot of momentum, hitting like a truck and attacking relentlessly until all hostiles are down and checked. Batwoman has lots of practice crashing through windows to attack flat-footed opponents.  Nightwing determined that she was using three different styles - from what is known from her training I’d hazard Krav Maga, a style of Pentjak Silat and MCMAP or some other combat system used by the US military. She has also developed moves of her own - usually very acrobatic and relying on her speed and precision.<br/><strong>4.) Arsenal Use:</strong>Kate equipment is cutting-edge, specialised gear. It’s not quite Batman-level, but it’s the cream of military equipment. The main pieces are:<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Batwoman's Arsenal</div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Batwoman Costume:</strong>  The bullet-proof, stab-resistant material of the suit has been treated with a shear thickening compound, which hardens as it is subjected to stress. Embedded electronics and peripherals include a heavily encrypted radio link, a GPS and life signs monitors, allowing the Colonel to constantly monitor, locate and communicate with Batwoman. All sounds and conversations in the vicinity of the costume are recorded, and analysed after missions. cape is woven using nanotube composites, making it very light and resilient, and has weighted ends. It can be used a bit like a shield to Block - but since it is very light and thin, it is chiefly useful to stop light, lethal projectiles such as thrown knives, arrows, bullets, etc. This is particularly useful when Batwoman is trying to protect a bystander from such. Presumably it would also work against a flamethrower and some other specialised attacks.  The claw-like steel blades along her gauntlets can be used to facilitate parrying blades with her forearms, and the entire gloves seem to be armoured ; the blades can also be used to punch an emergency hold into some surfaces by slamming her forearms into it.</li><li><strong>Throwing Blades:</strong>  These shuriken-like weapons look like two rose thorns affixed end-to-end, and have surprising sharpness and heft. They’re usually thrown in volleys of three. Batwoman also owns a genuine batarang straight from the Bat-cave (which is presumably kept as a memento), and briefly used replica batarangs before opting for the thorns.  Six of the throwing blades are actually the aforementioned claw-like blades on her forearms - they can be unlocked, removed and flipped into a deployed, propeller-like configuration. She seems to have a half-dozen additional blades - the rest presumably is stored on her belt.</li><li><strong>Ducati:</strong>  Kane’s Ducati high-performance supermoto crotch rocket has apparently been hardened, and can operate without a hitch even after having been ditched on the asphalt at high speeds. It likely has further, unrevealed improvements, which is good since Kate drives like a maniac. For non-bikers, “supermoto” means that it’s off-road-capable (especially since Batwoman’s bike appears to have been considerably reinforced over a normal Hypermotard bike).</li><li><strong>Bladed Staff:</strong>  This strange weapon appears to be a telescopic metallic staff, not unlike the one used by Robin and about the length of a half-staff (like the Japanese jo). It telescopes in and out using buttons at the centre of the staff and, oddly, is tipped on each end with a stylised bat. It *might* be comparable to a blunted lajatang, an unusual Indonesian stick weapon - especially since Kate seems to have trained there. Batwoman uses it to hit big things, like werewolves - it’s not a common part of her arsenal.</li><li><strong>Pellet Pistol:</strong>  This weapon looks like a standard M9 pistol, but is actually gas-powered and silently shoots pellets of a virulent pepper gas mix. Batwoman also carries a small aerosol spray neutralising the gas’s effect. A pellet holds a small dose, and has to impact on the target’s chest to achieve the desired mix of low lethality and high stopping power.</li><li><strong>Demolition Charges and Xaver Camera:</strong>  Batwoman’s shaped demolition charges are normally used to perform dynamic entry (that is, blow a wall up and rush right in to capitalise over the shock) if she cannot find a window placed right to crash through. Setting those charges is usually done after scanning the room with a Xaver-type camera, which can provide 3D images through walls. This equipment is neatly packed in her demolitions bag, which she doesn’t always carry.</li></ul></div></div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Advantages==</strong></em></span><br/>Batwoman comes from being trained under career military individuals.  This has left her mentally conditioned to handle the hardest and roughest of situations and causes her to also soldier through all obstacles.  This die-hard determination met with her years of experience have brandished Batwoman as a hardened veteran on the streets of Gotham and other parts of the world.  There is a certain level of intimidation birthed from this reputation which is only enhanced by the fact that she carries the motif of 'The Bat' and with the addition of her career's successes, there is little left to the imagination that she is one very capable woman.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Disadvantages==</strong></em></span><br/>Aside from the natural disadvantages of maintaining a secret identity and juggling two entirely different lifestyles,  Batwoman suffers from a cardiac weakness.   This was a result from a stabbing she lived through and despite healing and therapy, scarring remains and she has mild inhibiting factors that rise from it.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">Kate and her twin sister Beth are the daughters of two elite US military officers. Jacob Kane, an Army man and currently a highly-decorated Colonel, was a field officer with USSOCOM for most of his career, leading numerous tactical operations across the globe. Gabrielle Kane was a Captain with the USAF Security Forces - presumably with the special tactical military police in the Emergency Services Team - and also sported a considerable array of decorations. Both Kanes worked extensively with military intelligence service.  Being Army brats, the twins grew up in a wide variety of towns and bases, moving as their parents were promoted. Then-Lieutenant Kane was often away from home, his duties including intervention in various international military crises.  The Kanes being from a non-Orthodox Jewish family, the childhood of Kate and Beth followed the rhythm of the traditional celebrations and rituals.  Kate and Beth were completely identical twins and deliberately adopted similar hairstyles and clothing, making most people unable to tell whom was whom ; they often used this stratagem to their advantage. The inseparable twins shared a very strong rapport, almost always being able to tell what the other was thinking. This constant feeling of togetherness, almost of oneness, was a very important aspect of their childhood.  <br/><br/>The Kanes eventually moved to Belgium, since the parents were now serving at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. Around 1990, the family was shattered by a terrorist operation - as Mrs. Kane was taking her daughters to the Grand-Place for waffles and chocolate, they were kidnapped by heavily armed men who killed their NATO chauffeur. Military intelligence eventually located the hostages, and Jacob Kane was somehow put in charge of the tactical part of the rescue. He and his men were too late, however - Gabrielle had already been executed, and Elizabeth was thought dead. Mr. Kane evacuated Kate himself, but the twelve-year old was traumatised by the sight of the corpses of her mum and twin sister.  It would be decades before Kate learned more about these murders. The kidnapping had likely been organised by the Religion of Crime in order to capture the “Twice-Named Daughter of Cain”, a figure prophesied in their holy texts and whom they believed was the Kane twins. The operation further had a hidden layer - the red-headed little girl whose corpse Kate briefly and partially saw wasn’t Elizabeth, but a decoy. By the time her father’s team went in, Beth had been secreted away. Jacob Kane continued to look for his missing daughter, but never found it in him to tell Kate that her sister was not dead but missing.  In the aftermath of the traumatic attack, little Kate determined that she would join the military to become an elite soldier like her parents - and spend her life fighting against terrorist organisations to avenge her twin sister and her mother. She was already undergoing an athletic training regimen, as she (and presumably her sister) had enlisted with a gymnastics program for kids some years before.  She continued to practice intensively and reached senior elite level - that is, she was part of the national gymnastics team, representing the US in international competitions up to and including the Olympics, though she presumably didn’t get to compete in the latter.<br/><br/>Kate enrolled with the Army and qualified for officer training at West Point, where she demonstrated exceptional potential even by the school’s standards. Cadet Captain “Candy” Kane acted as Brigade XO for her cohort — an XO, or Executive Officer, being the person who manages the everyday administration of an unit, and acts as the stand-in for the CO (Commanding Officer, the boss). This was but one hint that she would likely have a brilliant military career, promotion to XO being an important asset in that regard.  Furthermore, Kane was at the top of her class and would likely graduate as First Captain — that is, the highest ranking senior cadet at West Point. In 2003, earning this highly coveted achievement would have made Kane the second female First Captain in the history of the Academy.  These impressive results are likely what precipitated her downfall.  Kane was romantically involved with Sophie “Gimme” Moore, her roommate as well as a fellow Cadet Captain and the S3 for the academy brigade (the staff officer in charge of operations). Though they strove for secrecy, somebody took photos of Kate and Moore kissing and anonymously sent them to the BTO’s office (Brigade Tactical Officer, the person responsible for training and discipline at West Point). This was likely the act of a jealous Cadet trying to get rid of Kane to improve their chances at making First Captain.  Under article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, as interpreted under the so-called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” approach, Kane was liable to be discharged for “unnatural carnal copulation” (presumably, Moore was not identifiable on the photos - which reinforces the hypothesis that Kane was targeted because of the competition for First Captaincy, rather than out of homophobia.  This put the BTO in a delicate situation - not only was Kane a phenomenal Cadet, but he knew and greatly respected her parents. Furthermore, the US military was at that point deeply in stop-loss and undermanned, and discharging gay servicepersons was making a bad situation worse. The BTO asked Kane to pretend that it was just a misunderstanding so he could do some damage control and prevent his star Cadet from being discharged - but Kane, having always been extremely serious about her conduct as a professional soldier, said that it was impossible for her to lie as a servicewoman, and confirmed her homosexuality. This ended her military career.<br/><br/>Having only desired to serve since she was twelve, Kane was shattered by her discharge. She spent several aimless years as a desultory party girl and wannabe musician - vaguely trying to resume college studies but chiefly being a fixture of night clubs and lesbian bars, drinking too much, being hot and scandalous, teaching herself the guitar, womanising and driving loud and powerful cars.  Jacob Kane had by that point remarried with one Catherine Hamilton, a jet-setter and socialite involved in politics. Kate and Catherine didn’t get along too poorly, though Catherine never understood the strong military ethos shared by the Colonel and his daughter.  A side effect of the marriage was that Colonel Kane was now very wealthy - his wife being filthy rich. The Hamilton fortune was built upon guns - the enormously successful Hamilton company, which apparently became a household name during the days of the Old West. Being flush with money only encouraged Kate in her aimless, shallow lifestyle as it made working for a living wage irrelevant.  As she came back from a party, Ms. Kane was stopped by patrol officer Renee Montoya, then aged 19, for speeding. Despite the circumstances they were immediately attracted toward each other, and an intense romantic relationship ensued, stretching for several months to a few years. The two women were very different, though - in particular, while the rich and aimless Kate was just lounging and clubbing around without constraints or a sense of purpose, the impoverished but talented Montoya was struggling with establishing a career in an hostile environment, and upholding her duty as a law-enforcer whilst being forced to live deep in the closet.  They y eventually had a fight when Kate thoughtlessly underestimated Renee’s professional obligations as a cop. Renee further learned that Kate had dropped out of college without telling her, and was now even more purposeless and bohemian. Montoya stormed out ; stubborn like a mule, she never returned Kate’s calls despite Kane’s profuse and desperate apologies.  Trying to get over being dumped by the great love of her life, Kate was stumbling out of a bar late at night when she was assaulted by a random thug. The ex-Cadet Captain angrily beat the man up as Batman spotted the commotion and swooped in. The towering dark knight silently helped her up after she stumbled and fell from a combination of awe and drunkenness, then left.  As the mum and very impressed Kate watched the ominous vigilante depart in the dark and stormy night to answer the Bat-signal, she had an epiphany. To her, the signal shining in the sky became a call to arms.<br/><br/>Building upon her West Point instruction and Olympics-level gymnastic skills, Kane aggressively resumed training on her own, and secured a secret HQ in a familial property. Being a familiar figure on nearby military bases due to her father, she used this access to steal an impressive amount of less-than-lethal weaponry and a range of equipment and electronics from military stocks. Inspired by Batman, she had at last found a way to serve, though outside official channels - as a masked vigilante. She busted several criminal operations, employing military tactics. Kane relied on tear gas and smoke grenades to allow her to single-handedly take on small groups of armed men with a telescopic truncheon, a gas mask and body armour. Her work was nocturnal and low-profile, and she didn't use an alias.  Kate logged in about six months of intel and reconnaissance work, then six months of tactical work. During a recon, as she spied on two crooks planning a heist, the dive she was in was raided by the police, led by Renee - now a big bad plainclothes detective paired up with the feared Sgt. Bullock. Montoya scolded Kane, thinking that her ex had continued her descent into idleness and slumming, and Kate went along not to blow her cover.  At that point, Colonel Kane found out what his daughter was doing. Furious, he confronted her as she came back from a successful operation. Kate refused to stop her activities, and explained her motivation and why this was critical for her. After thinking about it for a minute, Colonel Kane decided to support his daughter, on the condition that she undergo two to three years of advanced training to his satisfaction in order to diminish the risks she accrued as a Batman-inspired vigilante.  The  Colonel activated his enormous network of military contacts to arrange for special, discreet training for his daughter. He got her the very best - military intelligence specialists in urban operations, British Special Air Service tactical operators as private tutors in commando techniques, Israeli close combat and survival instructors, SERE-type training, private instruction in parkour-like urban acrobatics training, Olympic-level gymnatics training, etc. Kate also resumed unrevealed graduate-level studies, and it was arranged for her to attend the National FBI Academy - including forensic science classes, law classes, behavioural science classes, etc.  Kate completed her training regimen with a three-months stay with unrevealed parties, possibly in Indonesia. At that point she had aced all her training objectives, and returned to her father after two years away from Gotham. During that time her father had been busy designing and assembling the lair, costume, arsenal and vehicles of Batwoman. Right as she came back he added the last touch - Batwoman’s own version of the bat symbol on the costume’s chest, to make it clear whose side the new heroine was on.<br/><br/>As it turned out, Batwoman started operating at a peculiar juncture - the three cornerstone heroes of the DC Universe, including Batman, had been missing for a few months at that point. Thus, Batwoman ended up replacing her role model for several months, just as certain criminal interests moved into Gotham.  These changing times also brought her back into contact with her ex, Renee Montoya. Montoya had since left the police after some traumatic events, and was in the difficult process of rebuilding her life. Montoya was investigating, at the Question’s behest, Intergang’s inroads into Gotham, and reluctantly contacted Kate for some historical data about Hamilton real estate. This brief reunion was awkward from start to finish, involving Kane punching Montoya before agreeing to get the information for her.  Though the romantic attraction obviously remained strong, the situation made it even more unworkable. Both women feigned catty, hurtful rejection as they were both concerned that Intergang would target their loved ones as a result of their investigations, and thus were trying to drive each other away.  Montoya's work alerted Kane, who started investigating Intergang activities as Batwoman. She shadowed Montoya and her mentor the Question, and burst in to save them from Intergang werebeasts. Through the fight was brief, Renee recognised Kate despite the - admittedly skin-tight - costume.  Montoya and the Question warned Batwoman that she was the reason for Intergang’s presence in Gotham. Led by the unholy prophet Bruno Mannheim, Intergang was specifically preparing to capture Batwoman and sacrifice her on the foretold date to fulfil their key prophecy.  The three heroes confronted Mannheim, but he escaped. Facing Mannheim to save Batwoman was the Question’s last adventure, and he soon collapsed from terminal lung cancer. Kane arranged for medical care to ease the hero’s last days, and housed the homeless Montoya. With the impending death of the Question on their mind and now knowing of each other’s pursuits, the two women dropped the emotional manoeuvring. As Montoya’s grief over the Question’s impending death mounted, she and Kate briefly resumed their relationship, but the ex-detective then left on a desperate quest to return the Question to Nanda Parbat and save him.  Batwoman resumed her hunt for Intergang, first meeting Nightwing during a fight with the werebeasts serving the syndicate and establishing the terms of a working relationship with him.  The Dark Faith eventually deduced Batwoman’s secret identity from their unholy texts and captured her in her home. They also set up powerful demolition devices that would hurl downtown Gotham into Earth’s crust, believing that that and the sacrifice of the twice-named daughter would turn the place into a literal gate toward Hell. Nightwing and Kyle Abbot, an heretical Religion of Crime cultist, set out to to disarm the devices threatening Gotham while Renee Montoya, accepting that she now was the new Question, set out to save Kate. She came in too late, and saw Mannheim plunge a dagger into Kane’s chest. As they fought, Mannheim got the upper hand but Kane, still alive, got the dagger out of her chest and hurled it at Mannheim, saving Renee. Montoya rushed Batwoman to the hospital, using her mask to staunch her wound, and Kate Kane narrowly survived her ordeal.  During her near-death experience, Kate experienced a distressing, hallucinatory feeling of being reunited with her mother and sister. Compounding her dismay, Montoya left urgently as Kate was still unconscious in an ICU. Kane eventually recovered from the grievous wound (which broke her sternum and punctured her heart), and swiftly trained herself back into fighting trim despite months of chronic pain.<br/><br/>Batwoman continued to successfully operate in Gotham ; she was reunited after several months with the Question, who was tracking down a rare copy of the Crime Bible. Though Kate was happy to be reunited with Renee and used the Question’s intel to take out a Coven of the Dark Faith, the two women parted on awkward terms. Though Renee said she was fighting the Religion of Crime to protect Kate, it soon became obvious that she was actually fascinated and addicted by their unholy gospel and her own foretold role as Faithless. Distraught, Batwoman let her leave with the book to study its magical properties.  Batwoman was far from done with the Religion of Crime and their inspiration on Apokolips, though. During the Final Crisis, she fought hard against the invading forces, but was eventually among the millions who fell under the sway of the Anti-Life Equation. Montoya, having just returned to Gotham, tried to save her, but the Anti-Life-possessed Batwoman mauled her. Along with Wonder Woman, Catwoman and Giganta, Kane went on to become one of the new Female Furies serving Darkseid and hunting down any resistance to his reign. As a Fury, Kate was riding a giant mastiff and gleefully using a pair of pistols.  Though life on Earth was soon freed from Darkseid’s totalitarian grip, Batman had seemingly been killed while slaying the stone-faced god of evil. This resulted in an upsurge of crime in Gotham, and Batwoman was one of the agents mobilised by Nightwing to try and prevent the entire city from going to hell - figuratively this time. During this time Kate started a relationship with a lawyer named Anna, but it miserably failed as the jealous Anna mistook Kate’s frequent nocturnal absences for infidelity and a lack of maturity.<br/><br/>Hearing about a new high priest coming to the thirteen Religion of Crime covens in Gotham, Batwoman kept harassing cultists until she found her prey. The new High Madame turned out to be a strange figure, pale-skinned and oddly dressed, apparently thinking that she was Alice Liddell and only communicating by quoting the Lewis Caroll classic. Though she dominated the clash, Batwoman got badly poisoned ; spotting her fading life signs, Colonel Kane rushed in to save his daughter. The Kanes were saved by Kyle Abbot and his fellow heretics, who engaged the orthodox Religion of Crime followers of Alice since their own faith demanded that the twice-named daughter of Cain live. As Kate recovered, Abbot explained that Alice’s goal was to succeed where Mannheim had failed, and destroy Gotham.  Thanks to Abbot’s support, Kate realised that Alice was about to kidnap her father and use Colonel Kane’s access to steal some decommissioned chemical WMDs from an Army base and to destroy Gotham. She reluctantly allied with Abbot, who made it possible for her to intercept the C-23 carrying Alice, the WMDs, a bound Colonel Kane and some cultists. Batwoman successfully stormed the plane in mid-flight, letting her father land it safely as she engaged Alice. During the fight, both the Colonel and Kane realised with horror that Alice was actually Elizabeth Kane, who threw herself from the plane to her apparent death.  Though her father tried to explain why he had never told Kate that Beth had not died twenty years before, she reacted poorly to this revelation, soon irrationally blaming herself for having killed her sister. As usual, she soldiered on and resumed her work, though she stopped talking to her father for months despite his efforts.<br/><br/>Batwoman stalked the Cutter, a psychotic killer who had been stopped by Batman ten years before. The Cutter, despite Batwoman’s determined opposition, managed to capture Kate’s cousin Bette Kane. Batwoman prevailed, but in the process of saving Bette gave her a clue about her secret identity.  Batwoman also tracked down a Religion of Crime coven operating in London, whose own interpretation of their texts had led them to attempt in London a reprise of Mannheim’s Gotham plan, complete with her sacrifice and demolition devices to draw the city into Hell. The English cultists managed to capture her, but she was narrowly rescued by Nightwing and his closest British allies, the Knight and the Squire.  Nightwing had determined that this London RoC coven controlled the last known Lazarus Pit, and decided to bring the supposed corpse of Bruce Wayne to resurrect him. Batwoman tried to explain that it likely was a very, very bad idea, to little avail - and was soon proved right when the person resurrected proved to be an unstable, murderous, evil berserker. As the Batman zombie battered the heroes aside, Batwoman was fatally wounded by the blows and a partial collapse of the mine they had been fighting in.  Knowing that she was dying, Batwoman had Grayson explain to her how a Lazarus Pit worked, then deliberately killed herself by overdosing on morphine. Grayson, the Knight and the Squire cleared the rubble from the Pit and immersed her in it ; since Kate was still pumped full of morphine, she was resurrected without the usual side effects. With the help of Colonel Kane, Nightwing and Batwoman rushed back to Gotham, where they successfully intercepted and defeated the zombie Batman.<br/><br/>Bette Kane came to meet her cousin Kate - revealing that she used to be the minor super-heroine Flamebird, that she had been unable to let go of that past, and that she wanted to return to heroing along with Batwoman.  When a series of kidnappings and drownings in Gotham's Latino community pointed to the urban legend of a ghost called the Weeping Woman, both Batwoman and Detective Maggie Sawyer began investigating the case separately. While Maggie learned of the origins of the ghost and dealt with the pressures grieving parents, Kate faced with the pressure of reluctantly training Bette.  After eavesdropping on one of Maggie's meetings, Kate learned of the location of the latest crime scene.  All the while, the DEO had sent Agent Cameron Chase to determine Batwoman's identity. She suspected Maggie, initially, but when Maggie caught Batwoman stealing files from her office, she gave her location up to Chase. From the files, Kate sourced the legend of the Weeping Woman to a boathouse, where she was dragged under water by the apparently real spirit.  She managed to escape both the spirit and Chase, but the experience led her to decide to stop training Bette, prompting her cousin to go it alone, where Chase was then free to question her.  Before Chase could get to her, though, Bette was attacked by a meta with a hook for a hand, who tore open her gut.  Upon her return home, Kate found Chase and Director Bones waiting for her with a deal that they would show her to Bette's location if she would agree to help them take down Medusa. Despite a warning from Batman, Kate agreed, promising herself and the parents of the missing children that she would find them.</div></div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Character Extras==</strong></em></span><br/><strong>Face Claim:</strong>Rachel Evan Wood (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7b/9d/75/7b9d757f5fedf5bc52000623e1f89296.jpg)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Ons==</strong></em></span><br/><strong>Role:</strong>Switch<br/>Law Enforcement Characters | Being Bitten on the Ears | Breast Play | Foreplay| Being Teased | Tension | Giving Massages | Receiving Massages | Slow, Passionate Kissing | Hair Pulling | Oral | Being Licked | Roughhousing | Vanilla Sex | Rough Sex<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Offs==</strong></em></span><br/>Anal | Dry Sex | Fisting of ANY Orifice | Feet | Multiple Partners | Laying Eggs | Moderate to High Levels of Pain | Any Form of Torture | Scat | Watersports | Vore | Bestality | Necrophilia (Vampires are the Exception) | Pedophilia | Mutilation<br/><hr/><hr/><div align="center">==<strong><em>Relationships</em></strong>==</div><br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong><em>Bat Family</em></strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Felicity Smoak;
