PERSONAL INFORMATION:
- Real Name: Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot
- Alias: Oz, Penguin [derogatory nickname]
- P.O.B: Gotham City, USA
- Occupation: Entrepreneur, Politician by Day.. Mobster by Night
- Marital Status: Single
- Face Claim: James Gandolfini
SOCIAL INFORMATION:
- Current Social Status: Villain
- Current/Known Associates: Unknown
- Current/Known Adversaries: Nightwing
ABILITIES:
As a very successful politican, Cobblepot is a very charismatic leader and speaker- one that can wrap those around his finger with a single sentence. Cobblepot also is a leader by heart, he rallies 'troops,' for his 'cause,' and has them follow his words like mindless drones. Sometimes considered a better speaker/leader than Adolf Hitler, Cobblepot is serious.
Cobblepot's business sense is also uncanny, he has resurrected his once vast family fortune through multple deals that proved beneficial to his life. While not all of them would be considered 'legitimate,' it works nonetheless.
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:
(Since this is an RP site, characters need to have strengths and weaknesses. How/what you list is up to you, you don't have to go with the obvious [Superman's Kryptonite] but more from a deeper, more psychological aspect. As said, these are real characters with [most of the time] fleshed out pasts. Please do your homework/be familiar with them.]
Due to his nature, Cobblepot is a criminal by birth. His great-grandfather, the first mayor or Gotham City earned the nod after the rest of his competitors dropped out of the race. Cobblepot is ruthless, which allows him to make deals and earn money nearly anyway he can, that was beneficial to getting his family's once proud estate back.
He does have a temper however, it's that same temper that has cost him some success in the public's eye but due to his charismatic personality, he's earned points back. Also, Cobblepot has a noticeable limp in his left leg which causes him to constantly have a cane at his disposal which acts as an umbrella as well. The cane was special made to fit Cobblepot's heavier physical stature.
Revenge- revenge on Gotham City- revenge on Bruce Wayne after having his family's name destroyed by each drives him to take the city- as the former mayor of Bludhaven- a city not too far from Gotham, Cobbleworth has his eye- and revenge on his mind for the city of Gotham.. And while very dangerous.. Cobblepot never misunderstood himself for being a nice, giving individual. He's selfish, snub and very.. cunning.
BACKGROUND:
Born into a fortune, Oswald Cobblepot was ridiculed and bullied majority of his childhood due to his short and husky stature. The son of Gotham Socialites, Oswald's father was an successful politician that turned dirty- working with several mobs until he was killed in a hit- by an unknown party. As a child, he was forced to wear suits which was often too small for him, plus being pigeon-toed- it earned him the revolting nickname of 'Penguin,' which already meshed well with 'Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot,' a name he HATED.
After his father's death, Oswald's mother drank herself into being broke- as well as blew the family fortune on shopping and other debts. Oz was babied by his mother, constantly overprotected as she didn't want to lose her only child- which forced Oswald into minor crimes and an unsuccessful attempt to join a local street gang. After being fooled into being initiated by the gang- they severely damaged Oswald's left leg, leaving him with a permanent limp which didn't help matters as he was a pretty wide fellow. After finding a life of crime- theft, robbery.. assault exciting, he decided to take it up a notch, but was arrested- luckily enough, the cop; a street cop named James Gordon knew his mother and let him off- under the pretense that Oswald cleaned himself up.
Upon her passing- Cobblepot too spent money- unknowingly knowing that the fortune was gone- and was soon kicked out of the mansion as he was repo'd by Gotham Bank United. Angry at the world- especially at Gotham City, Cobblepot promised revenge one day as now he was dead-set and stuck in a life of crime, first getting mixed in the new age of the mob- the Falcones as a book-keeper- then moved up the ranks, all doing so while managing to maintain a clean image, one good enough to turn into an successful politician, while using that as a front to help the Falcone Family operate it's criminal network.
His term as Bludhaven's mayor is up and Cobblepot who now goes by the abbreviation of "Oz" is back in Gotham City- sources indicate that he's gunning for the place of Mayor in the same city that cursed him as a child. He's managed to restore his family's fortune and managed to buy back the Cobblepot Manor, a house which has it's secrets.. Which, will never meet the public's eye as long as he's alive.
