Personal Style (write a short paragraph):
As the Scarecrow, Crane wears a mask supposedly created from a poorly-stitched burlap sack with a hangman's noose dangling around the neck. The mask has a built-in rebreather, doubling as a gas mask to protect Crane from the effects of his own toxin, while also allowing him to appear terrifying to the victims of his toxin.
As himself, he clad himself merely in a compilation of unimpressed dress suit and dress shoes. As doctor sane, he wears a red tie attached to his pressed white shirt which is well tucked in his black trousers. Also there is a belt across surrounding his somewhat fragile frame because of his preference for baggy pants though it is meant for a show off. The socks pulled up to the point where it is concealed under the trousers's cuff

History:
Dr. Jonathan Crane grew in a family who was parted and loveless. At his very young age of eight, among the other kids in his neighbourhood, he was the one who was left out due to his lanky frame and spindly legs to which the kids called him names like Scarecrow and Ichabod. Like all kids who had been detached away from the community because of the taunts, he chose to become a loner however, unlike many, he focused on thoughts of later obsessed with the feeling of fear.
At high school, things were never easy as well, still little Jonathan was vicitimized and laughed at ,since his natural appearance was no different, by the school bullies. After countless bullied action attempted upon him, Jonathan decided to respond in his way, dressed up in a scarecrow one day at which his first attempt commiting crime , he scared his bullies to death then later causing their death. Where some sane person would feel guilt and maybe worser frozen dead with the act committed, Crane felt something different which he had believed later named as delightful.
Jonathan enrolled in Gotham University and continued to his education however, he was not the boy he believed he used to. Dr. Crane studied physchology though he was disgusted to a great extent by his professors who neglected the importance of physchology of fear. Having believed that physchology is not sufficient he switched in major to chemistry. Jonathan was rather happy that he contended with chemistry such as mixing up with toxics helped him like the chemistry. But his eyes were set upon to claim a place in Gotham University as a professor. Gotham University offered him no place since there were none to take for all places were occupied. Undeterred, pissed off Jonathan Crane used his toxins for the first time killing off one of the professors to take the place which he believed has reserved for him. He ended up becoming a professor, which helped his studies to further add the fear, contend with fear. As his obssesion with fear has grown, he started to conduct researches in his classes merely on fear and fear on people thereby, during the process causing one of his pupils wounded badly which later became a reason for his detachment off the university. Having gone mad Jonathan upon hearing this decision, he terrorized the university, killing people as much as he wanted in the process so he started on his new criminal career.
Scarecrow, Jonathan's moniker, was after put in a cell in Arkham with the help of the Batman and the sergeant James Gordon. Even though he manages to escape during a destruction caused by Ra's, eventually he has been confined in a cell in Arkham Asylum.

[/i][/color][/color][/font][/center]Role Play Example:
"Lights Out" A sound chiseled through the mere silence that seemed to be captivating all the mansion roughly. The mansion swirled with the flurry of activity as soon as the lights went dead, some footsteps went farther away, but some sounded loud as if a tractor drew closer to the door of the asylum. The sound of feet echoed through the dead, isolated corridors. It changed their direction as if they are guided itselves without the need for any order from the conductor himself. The doctor was caught up with the paperwork so much that he did not feel his feet at the moment.
The flapping of pages disrupted the harmony that was set in automatically since the dying of the lights. The doctor felt the need to check out the room as he turned the door knob open while his busy hand helping out its counterpart for an easy get in. And he was there inside. With his patients' toothpick frame filling out very least of the room and sucking in very small amount of air coming through the fenced window, which is barely open to let in air. Doctor let the door behind close to put his load on the table.
"Jonathan Crane" Crane was hardly surprised at the officious way of the work that was in progress since he was brought here, Crane knew it all and remembered as well how much time was consumed in what should have been an interrogation time or a session for his betterment. He looked out of the corner of his eye to watch the fly buzzing around, playing as if a string instrumental of orchestra. "May I have your attention, Mr. Crane" the doctor threw out its most serious tone but Crane sensed as there is much seriousness as in that, there was some kind of stress complied with the least of fear.
"You have" Jonathan gave an abrupt reply to the doctor's question. "Good" the doctor muttered under his breath. He took out an examination paper that doctors before him checked the some symptoms they seemed to have existed, in earlier sessions , in the patient. "Aprosexia" the doctor said. "I guess this is not marked just yet." Crane looked at him dull as if he did not hear of the word the doctor used ever once. "Mr. Crane, you are not helpful at all" to which Crane answered with a sarcasm. "This is because you are not asking me of the subject I am specialized in" doctor gave out a sigh. "This is not helping either".
"Then let's speak about the fear" doctor put it quite unexpectedly, not to him surely. All doctors in Arkham knew that this was one of many things that what should not have mentioned before this patient. In all this papers and check ups, that was a quite risky subject to talk about with Jonathan. Crane normally would jump at the sparkling conversation but he was not excited in the least, shrugged off way too easily. "What about it?" doctor insisted on.
"The fear is my life, doc and I am the fear. If I start to speak about it, you may never stop me before... his voice trailed off Jonathan diverted to the buzzing sound that passed him by so close that if his hands were free, he would kill it almost instantly but it looked as if not bother him at all. "You see the fly" Jonathan watched its flight as the fly spiraled in the air, then perched to the wall, then to the table while the doctor still seemed very confident but a little confused of where he is trying to get to. The fly rubbed its fingers before flying towards the doctor.
"It is not gonna come to me ever not that I am binded with the white jacket all over because I can understand the fear, I can feel it and I feel the fear that has been surrounding me since my childhood but doctor, it is gonna come to you because in your life you have not tasted even the small portion of it" As the fly raised high, it buzzed around the doctor, causing him to distress and swing his hands to cover his face. The fly dived too many times towards him. "Now you are feeling the fear, it feels too and also your blood pressure rises up and boils.
I aim to give you in depth character of Jonathan Crane and Scarecrow. I do not want him just release a toxic for no reason and get beaten up eventually. I think his inner fight about being sane, insane and criminal or not would be interesting sight to see and also his growing hatred for Batman and heroes who want to stop him. Maybe a bit of his childish fears
