I understand, and I'm working all of that out now. I figured the same thing as you mrp, that Tim, if I got to use him, would not be associated with Batman. I have plans for him to be completely separate, which is why I chose the codename Redbird instead of Red Robin, which always just felt like a cheap knock off grown up title for a Robin.

I think at this point, in the fifth month after Mez originally claimed the Superman title/Connor and the fact he gave the character up last month goes to show he has no use for the character within a reasonable time period and any reclaiming of Superboy this month would be assumed as hoarding. Mez should be notified, it's the polite thing to do, but at this point he can't keep the character and the admin would end up having to discuss the claim if he tried to take Superboy again.

Agreed, but Mezz would still have to approve the Conor Kent character having ties tothe Kent family, having Kal-El/Clark or even Lex's DNA, etc., so while the character may be available, certain parts of his mythos/background, etc. are still tied up witht he Superman claims. -M |

I've already pm'd him, so it doesn't really matter anyway. Oh, and I've also pm'd Buck. I'll be getting to other writers soon as I may POSSIBLY decide to use other legacy characters.
Again, for all to know, the legacies will have very, very little to do with their mentors, or rather, would-be mentors. I have made separate plans for each and every legacy.

Redbird is actually a mantle that exists too for Damian and is something that's being loaned to me. I'd be willing to give up Hawkfire as a mantle though. And that just goes to show you this was definitely something that should have been discussed behind the scenes first. I know how excited a new idea can seem. I personally have one that's a Cosmic take on the Birds of Prey that I hope is still open by the time I can get a second title. But it's a real kicker to be told no on characters you can't use. |

I will apologize to Drake as he PMed me about how to go about finding a co-writer, and I told him to post a thread and give a brief peek at the concept. However, had I known it involved legacy concepts, my answer would have been different.

I'm well aware of Damian's mantle as Redbird. It's where I got the inspiration for the name.
I'm a bit confused by how you worded it here. Are you saying you've been allowed to use the title "Redbird" and would willing to let me use Hawkfire? Because if that's the case, I'll politely decline. I can also either go the route of titling Tim "Nightwing" or coming up with a new name entirely. Or, y'know, just going with Red Robin.
And about the whole "behind the scenes" thing, I actually wanted to make this public first so I could get everyone's input on the subject, and so I could find a suitable co-writer. And this isn't a "new idea." I've had this in my head since before I came up with my plans for Shazam. But I have just now finalized the idea and are finishing putting things into place.

Sent a PM your way discussing the use of mantles.

Yeah, I got it, Wachter, but it'd be better if I just respond to everyone here.
This search will be suspended as my request for Tim was denied and he was about 50% of the story, so I've got to go back and change some things around. I'll be back eventually, and hopefully with a character who will fit into my story well and I will enjoy writing just as much as Tim.
