The Skinwalker - Batman OC

Description

Lol considering I’ve been a life-long Batman fan, I should’ve known I’d end up doing this; creating a Batman OC to draw xD. Actually, Lynn (a.k.a. “the Skinwalker”) is the supporting character from the only Batman fic I ever wrote (well, am writing, because I finally got inspiration for it and people kept asking me to lol). She’s this girl who meets Jonathan Crane a few days after Batman Begins takes place and he takes her in as sort of a project – he claims he wants to help her get over this guy who rejected her, but instead he seems to have sinister ulterior motives. And now I’ve decided that she ends up becoming a villain herself, and this is her villain persona!

I’m part Native American and I love to share the culture with other people, so I decided to make Lynn half Native American and base her villain persona on something from my folklore – and I chose Skinwalkers. Skinwalkers are witches who gain their dark powers from murdering family members and have the ability to shapeshift into animals using pelts. Granted, Lynn’s powers are limited to that of a regular human, but she does have an animal level of aggression, and she has a black bear pelt she uses to disappear into dark places.

Some of her design was actually inspired by Mad Max 2 (I always loved those movies xD) – I just couldn’t get that mohawked weirdo out of my head after I watched the marathon last weekend. The two chains idea was borrowed from that (a brief scene where you see him standing there with this other guy holding his chains like reins xD) except Lynn uses them as weapons lol. I made skulls a theme with her, since skulls are one of my favorite things, and skinwalkers are notorious murderers – she even has a skull bikini xDDDDD. And if you’re wondering why I made her outfit so sexy – do I even need to explain that? If Marvel’s Madame Webb can wear a skin-tight unitard, I don’t see why Lynn can’t show off her body rofl.

ANYWHO, INFO ABOUT HER (until I can make a full ref lol):
Name: Lynn
Alias: The Skinwalker
Age: In her 20’s

Abilities: Thanks to Crane’s oh-so-special drug, she goes into this mode where she’s somewhat zombie-like… until she decides to attack someone. Then she gets hyper-aggressive, like a rabid grizzly bear xD
Oh, and the chains attached to her collar – which are generally used to restrain her from attacking before the time is right (because she rarely fights alone lol) – double as weapons. In addition to being used to beat people’s skulls in, she can wrap them around people from far away and pull their feet out from under them/drag them over to her/etc.
Ohohoh, and she has a full black bear pelt that helps her to disappear into dark places xDD

Background: (because I don’t expect everyone to read the story xDDD) Lynn met Crane after he’d been wandering around the city post-Arkham-Asylum-escape and helped him get out of his straitjacket, and he decides to “help her” get over this guy who rejected her advances (when he really just wants someone around that he can control), then they started meeting up with other villains at random (like Joker xD) and one thing led to another, and now she’s Crane’s “assistant” of sorts, and The Skinwalker.

Appearance: She styles her hair up in a partial mohawk with pink highlights, has skull earrings/necklace/barrette, snakebites c:, has contacts that change color depending on her mood (and boy, can they change fast! xD) – normally pink and changing to yellow when she’s pissed off, collar with grommets in it – two rings are attached, one for each chain (chains are always attached), an awesome shirt which can be switched out for her rad bikini xD (I’ll post the link here in a second), short shorts lol with a white heart stitched on right side, tall black boots with seven red straps on each, spiked belt, spiked arm cuff, and I might add some more stuff later lol (she also has a pair of goggles, but they can wait till the full ref)

Aaand, that’s it till I finish the ref xD.
