AU Ronan - Based off Gansey's AU Background

Gansey's family was killed when he was ten during one of those crazy Gotham villain attempts at taking over the city. This time it was using insects, similar to Gansey's canon death except his parents and his sister, Helen, died. Batman saved Gansey, but only because Gansey managed to get far enough away from the attack that it wasn't as severe for him.

He never blames Batman/Bruce for not saving his family. He knows that it was a miracle that he survived. That can't happen four times in a row even if Batman is in the city.

Bruce knew the Ganseys and knew that Gansey was going to be Traumatized by what happened and no one would understand him or be able to really help. Bruce adopted Gansey, who grew up with his sister (Bruce's daughter) Evie.

Gansey's actually well adjusted considering. He had his panic attacks, his obsessions that keep him steady. He glomped onto Alfred as a sort of father figure too and a mentor (like Malory in the books). He found a balance between Bat Fam and trying to be a normal child/teenager. He trained to become a hero of some sort while also learning the behind the scenes stuff to help the others. He just hasn't decided what role he wants yet. Also, it's Gotham. He's Bruce Wayne's adopted son. He needs to know how to defend himself. When he's in costume, he's the Ghost, a name he chose because he 'died' and came back.

As part of trying to have a normal life, he goes to a private school in Virginia. (It also gives him a chance to get helpful connections to obnoxious, rich future business leaders.) He's the King of the school, on the rowing and swim teams, has friends there but not as close as in TRC coz Secrets. He gets dragged back into the Bat world when the Batman V Superman stuff happens and ends up back in Gotham.


Ronan's father, Niall, lives. Ronan never shaves his head or goes to the dark side of things. He's still a shit and is wild and loves racing, but thanks partly to Gansey he never really falls in with Kavinsky (He leaves town unexpectedly). Ronan does get his tattoo and dream his Raven Chainsaw. He does meet Adam, but never meets Noah. He writes letters to Gansey and they video chat all the time. He knows Evie, but hasn't met Bruce. He still sings, plays the bagpipes, and speaks Gaelic. He's one of the top students at Aglionby and actually attends classes even if he still prefers wearing his tie around his head and gets into all sorts of trouble. He and his brother Declan get along. His father dreams him his very own BMW in black as a 16th birthday present so he has that instead of his fathers BMW.

*Anything I've forgotten will be added in the tags.

RACING - If you like speed, the thrill of possibly being caught by the police, the adrenaline rush of waiting for the light to change, the sound of an engine roaring beneath your feet. Meet him at any intersection and prepare to race! Be warned. His car is special (magical) and his instinct for racing excellent. 

SINGING - Karaoke? Amateur night at the bar? Or just a few drinks to enjoy in the late/early hours of the city life? Ronan has been to the big city before, but his heart lives at The Barns in the rolling hills of Virginia countryside. That doesn't mean he doesn't know how to enjoy the city nightlife. If you're lucky he might sing!

ROLL THE DICE - Start a thread and see where things end up. Introduce yourself. Pick a fight. Drinking contest (he is Irish). Good, bad, ugly interactions all welcome.

It's Karaoke Night and Gods be with whoever talked Evie into singing. This wasn't her thing, honestly, and she really didn't like being the center of attention like this. It was enough to be frequently in the news as Bruce Waynes kid back in Gotham.

She was relieved she could have some space from that in Wechester. So she's cutting just a tiny bit loose, really letting herself get into the song she's singing. Owning every word, every note, every beat. When she's done, she smiles a bit at the applause and heads back to the table near Ronan, raising an eyebrow as if to say 'that's all anyone gets.'

"Your turn.'

[smudging]

When the crew of the Seafood Shack gets together for karaoke night, they do it right. They take over the nearest bar, order as many drinks as possible, complain about the horror they'd all experienced that night, and belt out hit after hit to an increasingly drunk and rowdy crowd. Who thankfully don't mind the occasional off-key moments.

Some nights, they'd shut the place down. True rebels.

Tonight the drinks flow freely as ever as Blue carefully makes her way back to the table with a tray full of drinks -- each one filled to the brim and were it not for the seasoned waitress holding it, they likely would have spilled everywhere.

"If everyone is going to keep drinking like this, I'm not getting the next round." Blue eased the tray down onto the table where the rest of her coworkers were, shaking both of her arms out before returning to her seat next to Ronan. "Are you getting up there tonight?" She questioned with a grin, playfully nudging him with her elbow -- she'd clearly already gotten at least one shot in her.

Bruce would be furious when he found out, but Gansey didn't care. When he saw the familiar BMW around the city, he started researching, hacking systems easily until he found the owner thanks to security cameras near its usual haunts.

His heart had hammered painfully in his chest when he'd seen the driver. Ronan.

After that, there was no question that he was going to earn a lecture from his adopted father. Using more camera information, he found the perfect place to meet Ronan where he knew that Ronan would see him and realize who it was. A lonely stretch of blacktop in an area of the city that he knew Ronan preferred for racing. A hellfire orange Camaro parked alongside the road and Gansey leaning against the trunk, knowing that Ronan would cruise by soon and see the two of them waiting.
