CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Dick Grayson / Robin
Canon: Young Justice (TV)
Reference Link: Canon wiki / Character wiki

Character History:

Once upon a time, there was a happy little acrobat named Dick Grayson. He had a pretty great life, traveling from town to town with the circus and performing with his family as the youngest member of the thrilling acrobatic act, The Flying Graysons. Then one day his family was horribly murdered in front of him and he was adopted by a playboy billionaire whose only hobby was dressing up as a bat and punching the criminally insane.

It actually went surprisingly well. After losing his entire family at the tender age of nine, Dick - henceforth referred to by his codename, Robin - trained relentlessly to become a worthy sidekick, mastering acrobatics, martial arts, detective work, computer hacking, and more. Fast forward a few years: Robin and a group of other disgruntled teenage sidekicks decided that they’d had enough of living in the shadows of their mentors, and, with the Justice League’s eventual blessing, became a covert black-ops team, performing missions to hunt down assassins and intervene in political negotiations. You know, because that’s definitely something that emotionally volatile teenagers should be handling.

Personality:

Robin’s most notable personality trait is his cheerful demeanor. Despite the traumatic loss of his parents at a very young age, and the four years he spent fighting crime in Gotham (the city with the highest number of homicidal clowns per capita), he remains upbeat and perky in most situations. Always prepared with a wisecrack, bad pun, or creative new way to mangle the English language, Robin could maintain a conversation with a brick wall. Or Batman, which is pretty close to the same thing.

However, despite his apparent optimism, Robin has internal struggles of his own. A great deal of his self-worth is tied up in his abilities and the way other people see him. Because of this, he often struggles with issues of inadequacy, which he covers up by training even harder - sometimes to the point of pushing himself too hard. He’s also very possessive of the people he’s close to; there aren’t many of these, but he can be incredibly moody when he feels rejected.

Although he’s generally friendly, Robin tends to keep people at an arm’s length, by necessity rather than by choice. He’s an incredibly affectionate kid with painfully few opportunities to be close to people. He struggles constantly with his natural desire to surround himself with people, and the carefully-guarded secrecy that Batman instilled in him. Let’s just say he’s good at talking, but not so great at communication.
