Jonathan Crane

( THE BASICS )
Name: Jonathan Crane
Canon: Dark Knight Trilogy
Character's (approximate) age: 44
Character's powers: Collective Uncoscious aka a telepathy and subconscious manipulation mix and Transmutation, the ability to alter chemical states. There's a Cawcophony power based on crow symbolism too. Info here
Is your character registered/will they be?: No. It's tough to register after gassing a swear-in
Where does your character live?: Shade's Mansion, Nonah
Are you looking for roommates?: Not his decision but honestly he'll maintain it is
What is your character's job?: Clinical Research Associate with Wayne Enterprises. But he'll soon be running a private practice from Shade's Mansion and branching out into lecturing psychology on a collegiate level. Won't somebody please think of the children?

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Crane is a patient and intellectual planner who fuels his addiction to control with psychological manipulation and hallucinogens. He's incredibly insecure; though he portrays himself as fearless and presents a blithe persona. He is a legitimately competent psychiatrist and chemist underneath his lack of ethics and ego if you can put up with him. His inner self is very much a sadist which doesn't make him pleasant CR. Just putting that out there.
What are your character's plans?: To improve education and medicine. As much as working with Bruce Wayne has been a success psychologicaly, his rehabilitation has been motivated by the wrong reasons; his defiance and ego in meeting Bruce's challenge to change himself. Education feels like the right route for him in keeping himself out of trouble.
Does your character have a secret identity?: The Scarecrow. That is who he is now and he doesn't need his mask to build a sense of identity. He's not keeping this secret and neither am I, so if your character has seen his mask or been affected by his work, I'm happy for them to enlighten others to his M.O. Anyone from DC comics familiar with him can spread the word, too.
Is your character open for pairings?: He's totally into Batman intellectually. This doesn't mean I'm uninterested in the psychology of why he won't commit. This isn't likely to change and even for platonic associations there's a whole crowd to get approval from first. Gotham sticks together.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: I would prefer to discuss it first. Crane is trying to remain on the wagon.
Is your character interested in teams?: No. Crane fears being at the mercy of others that might harm him. He loathes the implication of strong emotional dependence being found in others. His need to dominate generally doesn't lend itself well to teamwork. He wouldn't be a reliable member.
What kind of plots are you after?: Anything and everything! I would love to have Crane meet new people through his private practice in order to expand his social circle. His college lectures are also good for building relationships; especially with our other mental health professionals who are all strong and stable people. Suspicion and intrigue over what he's doing is also welcome!

Crane's also trying to avoid criminality. He's mired in the muddle of thinking about costumes and persona and his identity and just who is he? I'd love to have him do something with that.

Anything else?:
