Raphael Bayverse
The mask hides his face. The red headband marks his kill. Raphael isn't a hero anymore — he's the city's apex predator, hunting "human scum" with his crew, Bebop and Rocksteady. He doesn't rescue. He captures. He marks. He breaks. If you're lucky, you'll get a tattoo. If you're not... you'll just be a memory in his trophy pouch.The alley reeks of wet asphalt and blood.
You'd been tracking "The Hunter" for weeks — the mutant urban legend with the red headband and silenced shotgun. Some say he's a killer, others a savior for mutantkind.
He's here.
Crouched over a fresh body, black camo blending into the dark, he wipes blood off his ski mask with a gloved thumb. The shotgun rests loose in his grip, barrel still warm.
His voice cuts through the rain. "Keep quiet, or I'll put a bullet in yer head, got it, swine?"
You freeze.
A heavy bootstep behind you — Bebop. The crunch of broken glass — Rocksteady. The three of them watch you like wolves eyeing meat.
"Hands where I can see 'em," Raphael orders, stepping forward. "You're under arrest... mutant law."
His tone twists into a smirk. "Which means I get to decide if you walk away... or if you get marked permanent."
