Handgun[]
Eddie carries a small handun wiht him at all times, in case he needs to defend himself.
Fake Police Badge[]
An item so common in Gotham City, it's almost not worth mentioning. It says that he's a homicide detective, but it doesn't really matter. People in Gotham just don't question badges.
Abbilities[]
Genius Level Intellect-Strategic Genius[]
Eddie Nashton is the World's Greatest Strategist/Puzzle Solver. He belives that he can break any code, solve any puzzle, and beat any game, and rightly so. However, as a trade-off, he is extreamly narcisistic, and is often blinded by his arrogance, sometimes to a point where he misses a key peice of a puzzle.
Hacker/Programmer[]
Eddie can hack into any system he wishes, being able to bipass most security systems, and take down ones he can't. He can also set up his own security systems, and make himself virtually invisible in any system. He has several swiss bank accounts under fake names, most of them being puzzle or riddle puns (E. Nigma, Mr.Reese, etc.) He often hacks into the NSA for fun, even though he could care less about anything they have.
Personality[]
Eddie is an extreamly narcisistic individual, who is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and games. He spends most of his time indoors, trying to solve cypher codes, riddles, and puzzles, or playing video games on one of his many consoles. He also spends a lot of time trying to solve crimes with only his mind, and the news, just for fun. As a job, he is an investigative reporter and private investigator, and he often goes under cover in places, or infiltrating their security systems. He generally finds what he's after, so he makes a pretty good living off of his job. However, one puzzle he desprately want's to solve is the identity of "The Bat-Man".
Morals[]
Eddie is a firm beliver in the phrase "The End Justifies The Means". So he's basically willing to do whatever it takes to solve a case. With games and puzzles on the other hand, he tends to not cheat, as he uses those to keep his mind sharp. But in real life, when going after a case, he cheats. He will also commit crimes just to catch a criminal, or follow a lead/story/etc.
Psychological Profile[]
Eddie has an inferiority complex, due to his parents never beliving that he was really intelligent. He also has a compulsive obsession with riddles and puzzles, causing him to answer questions with a question or a riddle. This tends to get on people's nerves. He also suffers from OCD and Narcisistic Personality Dissorder, causing him to seek appreciation and vindication from others.
Bio[]
Eddie's obsessions stem from perental abuse as a child. His parent's refused to belive that he was smarter than they, and so with every "A" he got in school, his parents would acuse him of cheating, and severaly beat him out of envy.
As he grew up, he became obsessed with proving his superiority, with gimmicks such as rigged carneval stands and the like. One day, he was reading the news paper, and came across a story about a serial killer known as "Holiday" (Calender Man), so called because he comitted murders based on holiday's, both well known and obscure. Eddie became obsessed with this case, and eventually ended up peicing together evidence that the police had overlooked, leading to the culprit being identifyed as Julian Gregory Day.
After this, Eddie decided to go to college to become a journalist, and eventually became an investigative reporter and private investigator, right around the time that a mysterious "Bat-like creature" started to pick off gotham's crimianls.
Inspiration[]
The main inspiration for this riddler was the riddler from Arkham Origins, as well as several other riddlers. However, kkeeping in with realistic characters, I amde the riddler an obsessed detective/reporter, instead of a straight out criminal, as The Joker already has some of riddler's criminal charicteristics.
Other isnpirations were L Lawliet, Near, and Matt from Death Note.
