Based off this post:
Thirty five years have passed since the defeat of Nightmare Moon. The Mane Six have aged significantly and technology has made great leaps. Ponyville is no longer a small town, but a thriving metropolis. But underneath that is a seedy underworld of corruption, apathy and greed.
.
It also draws some elements from Caustizer's dark MLP fic (sent via PM to me) and maybe a bit of Shadowrun.
I need to do more brainstorming but I want to see if anyone is interested in this.
-
Depends on how the main six are to be portayed in it. I mean, I wouldn't mind being part of it if I get to be Pinkie Pie at least....but want to do something with her is all, give her a split personality ordeal, as in, her friendly Pinkie Pie side and her hateful, Pinkamena side sort of thing, the latter being, well, mentally unstable as well :p
-
Mane Six, thirty five years later:
Pinkie Pie - owns nice. "family friendly" cafe in the nice section of Ponytropolis but the Pinkamena side owns a gritty, sleazy nightclub (you know, strippers, drugs, bar brawls, etc.) in the bad section of Ponytropolis.
Rainbow Dash - Stunt pilot for the Wonderbolts. And a participant in underground races.
Twilight Sparkle - Works at a government sponsored magic/technology research institution.
Applejack - Owns an underground hydroponics farm with her family.
Rarity - Owns a high tech factory/mine that supplies raw materials for assorted industries in and around Ponytropolis. Being Rarity, she relies on either robots or paid laborers to do the manual labor.
Fluttershy - Works at a charity for homeless/poor ponies.
-----------------------
It will be story driven but I need to think of a story.
-
Ah okay, that sounds rather good. I mean, I'd still be willing to play Pinkie Pie, especially with how you still have her Pinkamena side there as well, which is roughly how I did want to play her. Well, the Pinkamena side not really owning or running anything and doesn't exactly surface till later on down the tracks sort of thing.
It's just an idea I had buzzing around for Pinkie Pie/Pinkamena sort of thing. I mean, yes, still have Pinkie Pie still run a cafe and all, but still argues with her Pinkeamena side and all, till her Pinkamena side takes over fully....and just becomes a hateful nuisence....and rather psychotic as well XD
-
Sounds good!
I'm in for sure!
-
If you want, I can give you a villain in the form of Pinkamena.....as that is sort of how I do want to portray the Pinkamena side, while Pinkie Pie is still the nice pony everyone else knows. Just I guess, think along the lines of Two-Face from the Batman comics....in a sense anyway.
-

I had envisioned Pinkie Pie as essentially being two ponies (split personality):
Pinkie Pie - hot pink cheerful, curly-haired, bubbly pony from the show. Runs said family-friendly cafe.
Pinkamena - straight-haired dark grey-pink pony. Foul-mouthed, crude and rude. Runs said sleazy nightclub.
Of course, the Mane Six only know about Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie tries hard to keep her Pinkamena side and Pinkie Pie side apart.
Of course, this is up to whoever wants to play Pinkie Pie.
----------------
The CMC of the future:
<Cyborg> Scootaloo - One of the more famous racers in the underground racing circuit.
Sweetie Belle - Assists Rarity at her factory/mine.
Apple Bloom - Works on her family's underground hydroponic farm.
----------------
Cloudsdale has now evolved into a somewhat dirty, gritty, floating factory-city complex that manufactures weather related phenomena.
----------------
As this is a cyberpunk work, computer systems, virtual reality, augmentations and other high tech stuff is acceptable.
As for augmentations, I will allow anything as long as it does not break the game.
Alicorns are playable BUT with one caveat; they cannot be "natural" Alicorns (Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are the only natural Alicorns). In other words, they must be cyborgs.
----------------
A massive network of caverns and tunnels run underneath Ponyopolis. This is the "under city", where the infrastructure of the city (power, farming, water, sewage processing, communications, etc.) is located. It is also, an extremely sleazy place where prostitution, illegal gambling, illegal racing, selling of black market cybernetic augmentations/drugs and general unpleasantness takes place.
But above that lies a much cleaner and high tech maglev subway connects Ponyopolis to other parts of Equestria.
----------------
I am still trying to decide what the "underground racing" should be. Note that it is literally underground as the races take place in the "infrastructure tunnels" underneath Ponyopolis.
My original idea was basically have the racers pilot small planes/speeder bikes.
Then I imagined the racers wearing something like this:
(http://ps2media.ign.com/media/previews/image/kine/kinetica_6_640w.jpg)
-----------------
Note that I am perfectly willing to allow changes to my interpretation of the canon characters.
After all, fun is the goal of this RP!
-
Well, as I said, I'll still like to be Pinkie Pie, having ideas for her already. What you had said is more or less what I was after too, that only Pinkie knows about Pinkamena. Though, the whole nightclub thing I believe I'll actually leave out for now anyway. I mean, when Pinkamena does get, say, annoyed and all and starts to take control of Pinkie Pie, then she may change the cafe around a bit....more darker and all that sort of jazz. Yet, I'll also probabally have her, when no one is around, have her talk to herself, sort of like Gollum/Smegal from Lord of the Rings, but via reflections and the sorts like that.
And with her split personality disorder I had, which you had also mentioned, the whole mane thing will still happen, as in, poofy for Pinkie Pie, but deflated for Pinkamena (as well as a sad Pinkie Pie too).
-
Hmm. I thought about using Trixie (either with a ton of cybernetic augmentations or wearing a suit of powered armor) as a villain.
Of course, a radical revolutionary cell trying to kill Princess Luna and Princess Celestia could also work.
-
By the way, how old are the CMC suppose to be in this one? I ask as it is to do with an OC I may bring in as well, if that's okay, one I had used in Starfall's FiM RP on here. She's the same age as the other CMCs is all, and if they're older in this one, it's all good.
Just so I can get a good idea about it is all ;)

Everyone has aged twenty to twenty five years - give or take a year or two.
I will be using a 1:1 ratio for human:pony years.
-
Ah okay,so roughly, how old would the Mane 6 be anyway? Just so I do get a better understanding of it and all. And the CMC would be, say, the same age as the Mane 6 are as they are in the series itself?
-

Mane Six:
Applejack - 42
Twilight Sparkle - 45
Rarity - 41
Rainbow Dash - 40
Fluttershy - 41
Pinkie Pie - 40
CMC:
Scootaloo - 29
Sweetie Belle - 31
Applebloom - 30
---------------------
Of course with all the technology present, the characters may not look their age...
-
Ah I see, so in turn, they would look younger? The Mane 6 that is? As with the CMC, they would seem to look how they would look, as one would say. But regardless, I do believe I know what you mean, as I may just have Pinkie Pie/Pinkamena look the same still, well, maybe look a bit older, but not look 40, so to speak.
-
Okay, I am now in the final planning stages.
Here is the character sheet (canon characters do not need them):
Name:
Type of Pony:
Gender:
Cutie Mark:
Appearance:
Personality:
Other: (augmentations, etc)
------------------
The full plot will come sometime later.
-
Gonna use my OC that I use in Starfall's FiM RP, though, give her an age boost as it were. Being the same age as the CMC are suppose to be. And yes, I still want to take on the role of Pinkie Pie/Pinkamena as well ;)
Name: Dawn
Type of Pony: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Cutie Mark: (I'll add that in a bit later on, can't think on it just yet)
Appearance: Dawn has green fur, along with a darker green mane and tail. However, instead of her normal pegasus wings, they had been replaced with mechanical wings because of an accident. On her face, she has a mechanical eye that replaces her left eye, with a metal platting around it, sort of like Kano from the Mortal Kombat franchise. So yes, she has an odd eye colour, her mechanical eye gives off a red colour, while her nomal eye gives off a blue colour instead. Her front legs are essential robtoized, along with her sides as well, in other words, they're metal.
Personality: While Dawn is usually nice, she she's in her "cyborg mode" she is deathly serious. Her Cyborg Mode is usually activated unwillingly and she has no real control over it. Think RoboCop styles in that sense. But other than that, she is usually a rather nice pegasus all in all, even if she does to keep up a tomboyish-like attitude.
Other: She is essential, part cyborg because of an accident a while ago she had suffered.
-
MrDrake, approval has been granted.
I will play Twilight Sparkle and Scootaloo and maybe an OC as well.
-
I've got a few OC's to play as. And I can take Applejack, as well. And Gilda.
Name: Haru of the Kusanagi family
Type of Pony: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Cutie Mark: A Crescent moon and a dagger crossing on a shield
Appearance: Haru is a Deep Blue unicorn pony with a distinctive black horn and deep sea-blue eyes. His mane is a fiery orange, standing in sharp contrast to the rest of his body, and is kept in a short fringe in front, with the back kept free and of middle length. He usually wears a small gold collar with red accents around his neck, and wears a well-decorated silver saddle on his back. Remarkably, he carries a carved wooden sword on his back, which he can use with exceptional talent.
Personality: Time hasn't been kind to Haru. A string of losses has led him to develop a cold, realist view of the world. Seeing justice as useless, he has cast aside his formerly idealistic view and become little more than a mercenary for hire.
Other: Carries his wooden sword and a knife with him at all times
______________________________________________________________________
Name: Jin of the Kusanagi Family
Type of Pony: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Cutie Mark: A Spear and Sun overlaid on a shield
Appearance: Jin is a grizzled Dark-blue unicorn, whose body is covered in scars from the dozens of fights that he's been in. His mane is raggedly cut into a short, free-hanging style, and his eyes are deep set, with a haunted edge to them. He wears a black, trenchcoat-esque saddle, and metal-reinforced boots. His eyes glow in the dark
Personalty: Jin was once the Captain of Luna's guards, until a routine patrol of the Undercity went astray, and ended with almost his entire unit dead, as well as heavy civilian losses, after which he was dishonorably discharged from the guards. This has changed him to be cynical and aggressive, using his formidable training as a guard to become a vigilante.
Other: Master of using magical attacks, usually in the form of solid constructs.
_____________________________________________________________________
Organization
Name: "The Saints of Luna"
Type of Ponies: Generally thought to be composed entirely of Unicorns, there have been reports that indicate possible Pegasi or Earth Pony involvement, as well.
Numbers: Unknown, though always sighted in two-pony teams
Alignment: Vigilantes
Appearance: All members of this group are spotted wearing full-face masks, along with full-body covering outfits. Black long coats cover all of them.
Methodology: This group has been known to operate in two-pony cells, seemingly wandering the shady parts of Ponyville with no boundaries. Despite the seeming disorganization, they operate well as a group, never seeming to overlap or conflict with each other. This has led to some speculation that they are no more than two ponies, but their startling effectiveness at removing criminals would suggest otherwise. Rarely do they leave their targets alive, frequently dropping corpses of the worst criminals in Ponyville at the local guards station.
Other: Viewed as a menace by some, the Royal Guard seems hesitant to do anything about them...
_____________________________________________________________________
Terms
"The Undercity"- The seedy, corrupt portion of Ponyville. A colloquial name.
______________________________________________________________________
Thoughts
I see the Royal Guard as having become something of a peacekeeping force, with significantly expanded membership and duties. More akin to a modern police force, they're in charge of keeping all cities in Equestria safe.
Also, I think it would be interesting to have Princess Luna in charge of the seedy side of Ponyville. Not actively corrupt, but as a mayor of sorts, trying to clean up the streets, but not succeeding very well.
-
Starfall, you are approved.
I like your idea especially with Luna and the "Undercity". The Royal Guard as a national police force works too.
But the name should be changed to differentiate between the seedy side of Ponyville and the lawless underground.
-
Okay, how about "Undercity" For the shady districts, and "Nightmare City" for the lawless underground?
-

That'll work.

Name: Silver Bolt
Type of Pony: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Cutie Mark: A single silver line that ends in a starburst.
Appearance: A black unicorn with a metallic silver mane. His eyes are mismatched - one is a clear gold color while the other is a glowing white (the glowing white eye is a cybernetic implant). Some scars are visible on his back from a botched wing implant. His horn is bicolored (the top half is silver and the lower half is black - top half is an implant to replace what he lost in an accident). He almost always wears a silver ring with a small ruby at the base of his horn. The ring is has several small wires connecting to a small saddlebag that he almost always wears (the ring is not an implant).
Personality: He is kind of reserved and cold at first but get him to warm up and he becomes quite friendly. Unfortunately, his bluntness makes it hard to warm up to him.
Other: He works in Rarity's mine and his implants are due to assorted accidents he has suffered.

The RP has started!
The Roleplay (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=10229)

A question about this....are other named characters still around as well? As in, the Wonderbolt, Trixie, Gilda and other background ponies as well? I just ask as I wouldn't mind also taking on the role of Vinyl Scratch as well.
-

Most of them.
Granny Smith died of old age.
Soarin' and Spitfire are retired from the Wonderbolts.
-
Yeah, had a feeling Granny Smith would be no longer be around XD
But yeah, I do want to also take on the role of Vinyl Scratch as well, just as an extra character, that, and I do believe it would be fun to play as her. But with her, I take it that she can still be playing her music at clubs and all that sort of jazz?

Yep, she can be the house musician at Pinkamena's club.
-
Ah cool, that works out well. Though I would also imagine that if she's not working at Pinkamena's little club, then she'd be at other clubs as well as being a request DJ as well. I don't know, just an idea I had with her...as to me, she is an interesting unicorn for sure XD
-
Since it'll become important later, I guess now would be a good time to detail Haru's armor and new version of Bontenmaru.
Armor: Galewave Chi
Specifications: The Galewave is assembled of parts from both industrial and racing exoskeletons, along with some personal modifications by Haru himself. The forehoof and rear hoof parts are redesigned racing suit parts, mounting hover repuslors at the base of them, as well as kinetic grapple connectors attached to the forehooves. Mounted to the belt portion of the armor is a prototype system known as the Grav-con system, which enables Haru to generate a localized gravity field to stop potentially lethal impacts. The body portion of the armor is a refitted industrial suit, using a complicated system of servomotors to artificially augment the user's strength. Covering Haru's face is a modified rebreather mask, designed to filter out toxins in the air, as well as nullify any gas-based attack. The last functional part of the armor is a set of red-tinted goggles that enable Haru to see in the dark, as well as track targets that he tags with a unique set of nano-tags. Aesthetically, the armor mounts a long black cape covering the back, as well as a nano-carbon hood over Haru's face. The most striking part of the armor is the single mechanical wing attached to the right shoulder of the armor, a remnant of the first kill Haru ever made. The entire armor is powered by a new microfusion generator, enabling almost limitless usage.
Weapon: Bontenmaru Sigma
Specifications: In the time since Haru has been living in the Undercity, Haru's wooden sword, the Bontenmaru, has taken a new form, shifting into a long katana. Further modifications were made by an unknown undercity weaponsmith, installing an array of energy projectors into the blade portion of the weapon, enabling it to launch a pair of distinct energy attacks. The first form is a swarm of small energy beams that curve outwards briefly before closing back inwards on the targeted foe at a short to mid range, while the second form is a concentrated, blade-like projectile from long range.
-
If you don't mind, I'd like to play as Sweetie Belle as well, and in turn, having her in a relationship with Dawn sort of thing.
-

Perfectly acceptable.
-
Ah cool. At first, I was gonna keep it as the same as Starfall's RP, where it's her and Apple Bloom....but I just find that Apple Bloom and Scootaloo in a relationship of sorts better. And besides, I just thought that with Dawn, she would be best with Sweetie Belle in the end anyway XD
-
Also, in regards to Dawn and what I have her as in this RP, sort of like an enforcement officer sort of thing. Anyway, in regards to her being that, would it be alright that amongst, say crooks and all that, that she is more or less well known around them? As in, sort of like Batman and how he invokes fear into others?
I mean, with crooks at times, getting paranoid that Dawn will find them, catch them in the act and stop them, sort of thing, justwith how she deal with crooks, by beating them to a pulp and all that XD
-
Name: Skye
Type of Pony: Earth Pony
Gender: Female
Cutie Mark: Unknown
Appearance: A regular light blue earth pony with a purple mane and tail.
Personality: As she works as an Enforcer, much like Dawn does, her job is somewhat important to her. However, unlike Dawn, Skye is more corrupt than anything else. As in, she's not exactly a hero, but still doesn't consider herself a villain either, even if her methods are a bit....extreme.
Other: She has wings implanted upon her back, yet, they do not allow her to fly, instead, they just allow her to glide around the city instead. She often wears rings on her hooves that when activated, allowthem to form clawed gloves, essentially used for climbing up the sides of buildings with ease.
***
Name: Autumn
Type of Pony: Cybernetic alicorn. Was orignally a normal Earth Pony.
Gender: Female
Cutie Mark: N/A
Appearance: Essentially, all she is is a robot, doesn't exactly wear any form of skin at all. However, her design is that of silver mainly, including that of her mane and tail. Yet, having said that, it does still make her seem as though she is normal, not from the first look of her, as one would say.
Personality: Seriously. Dead serious. She used to be shy and the likes before she was essentially killed and turned into a cybernetic alicorn. However, since her transition into what she is now, her personality had changed into a rather serious one and usually, does not understand when one is joking. She will always take orders from Skye, though at times, may question her if need be.
Other: Seeing as though she was changed into an alicorn, her wings allow her to fly at greater speeds, her horn does not posses any real magic, but instead, it's used as an offensive use, firing from it, such as blaster shots and the likes, but that's it. Her mane and tail are able to become sharp and well, spikey for lack of words. She also has her enhanced strength to boot.
***
I do hope that Autumn is alright as a character. She doesn't go ahead break the rules, unless Skye asks her to, just so you lot know. The two of them are also around the same age as Dawn is as well. Well, for Skye anyway, Autumn is built to look that age as well ;)
-
If it's still possible, I'd like to join this RP as well. A dark and gritty cyberpunk twist to MLP, now this sounds like fun! I'll post my character bios later today.
-
I don't mind if you join in myself, the more the merrier ^^
You need an idea of what's happened so far?
-

Sorry for not responding in time but you can join.
--------------
On a side note, what direction do ya'll want to take this? A high-octane thriller or just a general slice-of-life type RP?
-
Well, I have something planned that could easily turn it into a High Octane Induced Thriller....which will be starting soon enough with a villain of sorts. In a sense, think of it like The Joker from The Dark Knight and what he does in the movie, something similiar in that vein.
-
Again with the mane six, who plays who? I know that Serris is playing at least Rarity and Twilight while I play Pinkie/Pinkamena and Fluttershy. But what about Rainbow Dash and Applejack?
And, who's gonna be playing Luna and Celestia?
-
Thriller sounds good to me!
And I'll take Rainbow Dash and Luna, if that's okay!
-
Awesome. That just leaves Applejack now for the mane 6...and don't ask me to be her....that accent of hers I can never get down XD
I might be Apple Bloom though if no one else wants to be her. Celestia, I'll still leave open for anyone to take her ^^
And Zecora, we should have her in here as well.
-

Starfall, you can have Luna and RD.
I will take Applejack (I naturally have a slight Southern accent).
-
I would take Zecora myself, but I can't get her rhyming down I'm afraid. But Starfall did say that I was allowed to take Trixie for this RP too, so I'll also be Trixie too.
-
Okay, MrDrake, Trixie it is.
I will attempt Zecora.
On a side note, what would she be in this technological world?
-
Not sure....perhaps some sort of old school potion maker, but yet, uses advanced technology to help her out with making potions?
And, I decided to grab Lyra. Had an idea for what has does in this RP....uses a mechanical suit that walks on two legs sort of thing, in regards to her fascination with humans and all that.
-
And here's something I was just randomly curious. Would this RP be, oh I don't know, be put onto its own TV Tropes page, or nah? As I stated, was just curious was all XD
-
I'd be happy to reprise my role as Celestia if she's still avaliable! And just out of curiosity where would Celestia and Luna be doing in this land where cyber-based technology has emerged?
________
Now onto my characters.
Name: Rainrunner
Type of Pony: Earth
Gender: Female
Cutie Mark: Three Diagonal Raindrops
Appearance: (http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii261/LBTGuardian/MLP/RainrunnerCutie_Pose.png)
Personality: Used to be clinically depressed from issues with her father, but since she's had her bionic implants she has a much more outgoing personality.
Other: Mental implants to control depression although as it is a prototype it doesn't always work as it should and can cause her to become as visious and cruel as her brother, One amber bionic eye.
Occupation: She runs the most heavily trained Pony Department of Fire control (PDF for short) in Ponyopolis. She inherited it from her mother when she passed, and her fathers mysterious dissaperance.
_________
Name: Thunderclap
Type of Pony: Pegasus
Gender: Male
Cutie Mark: A storm cloud
Appearance: (http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii261/LBTGuardian/MLP/ThunderclapCutie.jpg)
Personality: Easily annoyed, always seems to be in a permenant bad mood. Has several scars from previous fights and has been jailed several dozen times, and he loved every moment of it.
Other: None
-
Not sure on Celestia and Luna myself I'm afraid. But if you want you characters to show up somewhere, have them arrive at Pinkamena's Cafe. She's out at the moment, left Vinyl Scratch in charge, who is getting help from Jin. But Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are also there too.
Granted, was going to have Apple Bloom head off soon to Twist's Candy Factory. What? Yes, a Willy Wonka like pony she'd be, that's how I figured she would be like in this world now XD
And the mecha suit that Lyra's creating, basing it off the AMP suit that Colonel Quartich uses in the movie Avatar as well.
-
Yay! Rainrunner and Thunderclap are back!
Quick Question at you, GVG. Do you want Haru to end up back in a relationship with Thunderclap?
-
Oh Starfall, I wouldn't have it any other way! Just be sure Haru knows that Thunderclap is going to be a great deal more violent than the last time they met.
-
I'm also going to properly introduce Dusk into the RP too soon enough. But she's still the same sociopathic pegasus pony as in the other RP I used her in. But she's no villain, but she's no hero either. She just doesn't really like anypony else save for Dawn.
Granted in this one, Dusk still believes that Dawn is dead, unaware that she's still alive. But...she's already over it, not really having mourned her "death". But I do wonder if Rainrunner should meet Dusk at some point, that way, Dusk can have another pony to be uninterested in and point out her flaws and all that, just for the fun of it XD
Though saying that, I do wonder how Rainrunner would end up tollerating Dusk :smile
-
Hey, I'm back so the RP can continue.
-
Threw in a little dragon fight for Lyra to deal with in her AMP suit. Based it on how dragons do tend to terrorize Equestria at times. Though this dragon would probabally be doing it intentionally itself.
But....she'll deal with it next post of mine XD
-
Wait, I'm onfused, why is Spike near where Strife is, yet, can see who is piloting the AMP suit, while Lyra in turn, isn't suppose to be near that area of the city? Who is Spike near to then?
-

Fixed that in my last OOC post. He is near Strife but the perimeter alert caused him to abandon Strife and fly towards where Lyra and the Dragon are fighting.

About Sugarcube Corner.
Sugarcube Corner looks exactly the same that it does in the series. In fact, it is one of the few buildings to not have a distinctly "cyberpunk" vibe to it.
Mr and Mrs. Cake still run the bakery. The loft above the bakery remains. Sugarcube Corner has expanded to include a small dining area. The Cakes live in an apartment nearby. They are elderly ponies now (about the age of Granny Smith). They have additional employees to replace Pinkie whom they assume went missing.
Pound Cake works in the family business. His hobby is "tunnel running".
Pumpkin Cake is a courier for Ponyville's Post Office. She is tasked with delivering valuable/dangerous goods. She owns a specialized hovercraft that she uses for this task (and delivering baked goods from Sugarcube Corner).
None of the Cakes have any cybernetic implants.
-
Anybody still interested in this RP?
-
Yeah, still all for this one....and I should be able to now post more often since my job has finished for the season and in turn, not working so many hours in the day too.
I'll try and get a post done for this one soon enough...and yes, I still plan on using Trixie in here too XD
-
Holy f---! I stopped because I thought it died!
Yes, I am still interested!
Let's get this show on the road!
-
And I'll just point this out now, I had figured Trixie would be, in a sense, a more well known unicorn that does, at times, put on Las Vegas-like shows as a magican-like unicorn herself.
-
...So how can we get an overarching high-octane arc to work?
Of course, this will be after the romance scenes.
-
Well, we already have a little bit laid out with the kidnapping already, but we need some ideas~
-
Hmm. Maybe Anne and Silver end up on the bad side of some tunnel running gangs and Scootaloo ends up running to Rarity or Dash for help?
Or Rarity also has a "enforcer" business on the side? Basically, she rents guards (who are volunteers from her employees) to ponies who she feels won't abuse them for evil purposes.
It would be interesting to see Anne and Silver get involved with the Ravens because they were hired by them.
And maybe Spike can get involved in some asskicking as well. Hey, he's got a Batman Beyond-esque suit and some serious firepower. It'd be a damn shame for him to not use them!
-
I've got a bigger plan in the works, too, but I think those are great ideas.
