Yet Another Teen Wonder
Tim couldn't resist this mystery unfolding right before his young eyes. The little geek just wouldn't leave it alone. He wanted to help! One perilous adventure led to another until the Dark Knight himself took the kid under his wing, and accepted yet another Robin into his life.
Personality
Tim is an introverted nerd with a big heart, huge. Hell put himself in harms way before hell stand and watch someone else get hurt. Is some of that because he feels less worthy of saving than strangers around him? (yeah). He grew up in a neglectful house, being raised by servants. and then was taken in by a different kind of rich man who spent most of his time running his companies and waging a private war on the criminal underground, which didnt leave a lot of time to nurture Tim. Tims a sweetheart, but he doesnt really know what love looks like, not yet. Introvert, obsessive investigator, shutterbug, coffee fiend, anxious mess, finding it easier to run into a burning building than talking to his classmates, thats Tim.
Background
Tim Drake grew up in a neglectful, but wealthy household. He became obsessed with a certain male circus performer, who was also his sexual awakening. He had childish ambitions of running away with the circus one day, but then his secret crush was tragically orphaned, and he couldn't stop investigating. One thing led to another, and another, and he jumped at the chance to leave the spectator stands and put on a Robin costume. He helped preserve the life of the world's greatest, and most leather-covered detective. He is being his own kind of hero now, taking the Robin identity to new heights and directions.
SKILLS
Athlete - Competent Level
Tim is in the best shape someone his age is capable of being in, thanks to an intense training regimen and strict diet designed by Batman himself. Whether it's tumbling out of harm's way, chasing criminals across Gotham's rooftops, or outlasting an opponent in physical combat, he's as close to peak condition as anyone that's baseline human can be.
Combat - Competent Level
Though years of training, Tim has cobbled together a personal combat style from several different disciplines, utilizing hand to hand, weapon and acrobatic techniques. That training was enhanced by training with Lady Shiva, making Tim one of the finest martial artists of his generation, with room to continue growing in skill in the future. He can quickly identify a target's weak spots and is well-read and practiced in a variety of combat tactics.
Detective - Expert Level
Tim's had an intuitive grasp of deduction and an incredibly keen eye since he was little, and now that he's a student of the World's Greatest Detective, he's as much an expert on the subject as the most respected investigators and forensic scientists in the criminal justice system.
Parkour - Competent Level
Strategist - Expert Level
Though he hasn't had a great deal of experience, Tim is a natural leader. Whether it's thinking on the fly on the battlefield or preparing a trap for one of Gotham's most nefarious villains, Tim can map out an effective strategy in his head and then put it into play. He's also great at chess.
Surveillance - Expert Level
Techie - Competent Level
Does it have a hard drive? Tim can probably hack it. Moving parts? Tim most likely knows how to take it apart and put it back together again. Wheels? He may only have had his license for a couple of years, but Tim's been driving since he was thirteen. You don't get to have all the gear if you don't know how to use it, after all.
ABILITIES
Tech: Cable Gun - Basic Level
Tim Drake can fire grapple cables into virtually any surface, and the motorized retraction will bodily pull him toward the impact point.
Tech: Domino Mask Enhancing Vision - Enhanced Level
Tim Drake's mask allows him to see beyond the visible spectrum into the wider EM bands. It also allows for zoomed sight and recording video and still images.
Tech: Utility Belt - Enhanced Level
Tim Drake has a little something for every occasion in all those pouches.
ADVANTAGES
Allies & Contacts
The domino mask comes with a reputation. Tim has made a point of building bridges in the heroic community since becoming a vigilante and has made several allies on the street, which means there are a great many people he can turn to if he ever needs help or information.
Costume
The Robin suit is based off of Batman's, though with a few key differences. His is built with a thinner nomex-kevlar weave and less armor plating to keep it light and maneuverable, with an integrated computing system to supplement his hacking and detective work. It has the same stealth capabilities as the Batsuit, and is moderately flame- and shock-retardant. The cape assists him in gliding and has weighted tips for use in combat.
The domino mask is a more compact version of the Batman's cowl. It has several visual modes, including thermal imaging and night vision, and a HUD that connects wirelessly with his suit's mainframe. His communications suite is accessed through the mask.
Observation
Tim is naturally suspicious and constantly watching and listening and feeling the world around him, always trusting his own eyes and his own memory over the words people say. It's a blessing and a curse.
Resources
Tim has access to a lot of gear and supplies, mostly stored in a series of hidden "nests" across Gotham (and several more globally) that are known only to him, and function both as temporary hideouts and equipment caches. He has a personal net worth in the scope of millions and keeps several thousands of dollars in cash on hand in case of emergencies, and he enjoys the perks of living in a mansion with a butler and every luxury imaginable.
WEAKNESSES
Anxiety Issues
You'd have anxiety too if your whole life constantly seemed to hinge on achieving the impossible just to get a scrap of attention and then you still barely get any.
Batman
For all of the things Tim has accomplished on his own, he knows that there is nothing more important than his responsibility to the Bat. While he may be a hero in his own right now, he will always consider Bruce his mentor, one that expects the best out of him, for him to abide by his strict moral code, and to put the mission first, always. Just being associated with the man puts him danger because there are plenty of people willing to go through him to get to Batman.
Secret Identity
Robin has made a lot of enemies in the past few years. Most of them are extremely dangerous, and even more are absolutely stark raving mad. It means he has a constant target on his back.
Student
Being in school makes all of Tim's vigilante pursuits way, way harder to chase.
The Joker
The only person Tim finds more frightening than Batman.
