Character Information Character Name: Dick Grayson Played By: n/a Original Canon: Batman/DC Comics
Personality: Despite his somewhat traumatic history, Dick has always been a pretty upbeat kind of guy. He likes to face most situations with humour, in contrast to... well, just about everybody he knows. He's can be serious when the occasion calls for it, and is a natural leader who excels at being strong for those around him, but he is also very good at letting his hair down (literally in some cases, let it not be said that Dick has always had the best style) and relaxing when he gets the chance - and encouraging others to do so as well. He can probably be described as having a bit of a hero complex, as he's always going to be the first one in the fray if he sees anybody in trouble, and he's fiercely protective of those he cares about. Loyalty is hugely important to him, as is family - though family has never meant only blood to him, he's spent most of his life making a family of whoever was around him at the time, he's not about to stop now.
He likes to think of himself as a charmer and he's usually not far wrong, he flirts semi-seriously with everything that moves and always has a smile and an offer of friendship for everyone - at least until they prove themselves firmly not worthy of it, then hell hath no fury.
Abilities & Skills:
Special Abilities; - Superhuman flexibility and agility - ability to fall from great heights without getting hurt
- Peak Human Conditioning: Due to years of intense and extensive training, Dick Grayson is at the natural peak of human capability (almost on Batman's level). He has displayed the peak human strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and endurance. - Master Acrobat - Indomitable Will - Intimidation - Genius Level Intellect - Master of Stealth - Expert Marksman - Expert Escape Artist - Expert Tactician - Master Detective - Master Martial Artist - Multilingualism: Fluent in English, Spanish, Japanese, German, Russian, French, Swahili, Mandarin, Cantonese and Romany - Expert Leader
Childhood: At first, Dick Grayson's childhood was a very happy one. While John and Mary Grayson hadn't been expecting a child, they were delighted by their strange miracle baby - when one lived and worked in a circus, you got used to a few oddities - and while they didn't quite know why or how Dick had come into the world, they loved him regardless. He was very young when his powers started to develop, though his parents didn't immediately realise that's what was happening, they just thought he was naturally gifted as an acrobat. He was only five years old when he started joining them in the big top. When he was nine, tragedy struck during a trick and his parents fell to their deaths when a trapeze broke. The young Dick had leapt desperately as though he might save them, only to fall himself. Fortunately or unfortunately, this was the moment his other abilities chose to show themselves, and he survived the fall completely unscathed - a fact he's never quite forgiven himself for.
Waiting to take him in was a representative of Project Bravo. They were the first to let slip that the accident may have been deliberate, and to dangle the carrot of revenge in front of his face - perhaps if he trained hard he would be able to find out who did this and stop them from hurting anybody else, or would at least be able to protect anybody from experiencing the same thing in the future. He vowed in that moment he would never rest until he found out who did it - he still has no answers (spoiler alert it was DEFINITELY project bravo themselves let's be real here).
Dick wasn't the most highly powered of Project Bravo's assets, but he was one of the most determined, and he bought into their agenda wholesale, making him the perfect candidate for leadership as he grew older. When several other assets escaped, Dick was initially judged still too young to be tasked with bringing them back in, a judgement he bitterly disputed at the time - the truth of the matter was that his handlers knew how deeply he cared for his fellow assets, and they didn't want to run the risk of any of them talking him into running away as well.
Now that he's older, he has standing orders to report or bring in any escaped asset he encounters.
Present Occupation: Dick is still an agent for Project Bravo Present Residence: Dick has enough autonomy that he has a small apartment for himself, though he spends a significant amount of time in project bravo facilities or wherever they choose to send him on missions.
Anything else we should know? He's not a bad guy he's just misled.... XD
