Character Name: Damian Wayne
Series: DC Comics, primarily Batman and Robin
Gender: Male
Age & Canon Point: 10, Batman and Robin 13
Requested Sponsor: Amethyst
Entry position: Cadet
History: He is not your real son. I am! It’s my right to replace him. That’s how it works in the assassin’s league.

Abilities & Physical Abnormalities: Damian is a normal kid—if normal kids were raised by assassins. He knows a few dozen ways to maim, scar, and otherwise hurt someone, and he’s not afraid to let anyone know this. A neat little trick that he’s picked up over the years is his ability to mimic voices well enough to throw off voice-activated sensors. Though currently being trained in detective work by Dick Grayson, he’s terrible at it (though he does have the occasional epiphany). The kid is also smarter than he looks—he was capable of building a flying Batmobile, a new lens for the cowls, and had the business know-how to run a board Meeting at Wayne Enterprises.


Personality: Damian, thanks to (presumably) being related to three of the craziest motherfuckers on the planet and being raised by the League of Assassins, Damian has next to no interpersonal skills to speak of. He’s gotten better thanks to the vigilance of Alfred and Dick, but he still has a long way to go. He’s quick to react to situations with either violence or logic, one of the few things he’s comfortable with, and if violence or logic aren’t the solution, he stumbles. When interacting with others he’s constantly trying to prove his superiority rather than trying to relate to them. In fact, the idea of relating to another human being completely eludes him.

He also has a humongous ego, no doubt fed by the league and his mother, as it seems a requirement for all Al Ghul’s to have one (although Damian’s is definitely the largest). He truly believes that he is the best at everything he does, and cannot understand the fact that there may be (and are) people that are better than him (with the exception being his parents and unknowningly Dick). He doesn’t realize that he’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is (his detective skills are terrible, to say the least), or as clever. This might stem from the fact that no one seems to take him all that seriously, leading him to try even harder to prove himself worthy of their time and to prove his greatness.

Which leads us to our next point… He’s a brat. He originally expected to get his way at all times, but after being around Dick for a few months he’s toned it down a bit. Dick, the saint he might be, hasn’t stamped all of the brattiness out of Damian, however, and he still is prone to the occasional temper tantrum or selfish outburst.

And finally, no matter how tough he may act, no matter how important he may think he is, he’s still a kid and has a lot of growing up to do.


What are your plans for the character in-game? To take Damian out of his comfort zone and force him to face reality when he has noone in his family to fall back on, but at the same time give him a chance to grow into the person he knows he can be (other than a brat). I also think it will be fun to toy with how Damian will react to meeting his sort-of doppelganger and how he can potentially ruin his reputation.



Anything else? As he’s the newest Robin, he’ll be arriving in costume, which consists of a black body suit with a red tunic with the iconic R over the breast pocket, a yellow/gold utility belt, a black domino mask, and green gloves and boots. Over the ensemble is a yellow cape with a black hood.

He’ll also be clutching a bloody crowbar, as he will be taken as he’s beating the Joker with it.

Questionaire
What do you prefer to be known as? You will address me either as Damian or, if in my costume, Robin. Call me anything else and I’ll break your face.
How old are you?Is this a crack at my height? I may be young but I’m more capable than you’ll ever be.

Do you have any history in combat? Of course. I’ve been highly trained by my mother’s league since I could walk.
If so, have you ever killed? In the past. I have since vowed to not kill anyone else.

i) How do you feel when you get involved in some project that calls for immediate and rapid activity? Delay is for the weak. If you do not act quickly and precisely your pre—suspect will escape.

ii) Do you organize and initiate leisure activities? Leisure activities are a waste of time. It’s why so many people are weak and lazy. I’d rather spend my time training.

iii) What role do you take when working in a group? Of course I’m the leader. I do not follow. Though I will accept a partnership if you can prove yourself worthy of my time.

iv) How talkative are you around other people? I see no need to waste words with anyone.

v) What three things would you want to have with you on a desert island? State your reasoning. What sort of ridiculous question is this? I would not find myself on a desert island in the first place.

vi) Is it important to be liked by a wide range of people? I see no use in being liked. Someone’s opinion of me is inconsequential, so long as they either respect me (if an ally) or fear me (if a foe).

vii) When the odds are against you, is it worth taking a chance? You’re implying that the odds would be against me.

viii) Do you consider yourself to be an impulsive person? Impulsiveness leads to poor decisions, which could lead to injury or death. I have no use for rash decisions.

ix) Would you agree that planning things ahead takes the fun out of life? I see no need to answer this question, as it is practically identical to the former.

x) Do you like surprises? Tt, as if you could surprise me.

xi) Do you sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with you? Drake, did you write this? For the last time, the problem lies with you, not me. Say this to my face and I’ll prove it.

xii) Do you consider yourself to be smarter than your superiors, and disagree with their decisions? Of course. Most of my so-called superiors I surpassed before they were even presented to me.

xiii) Lastly, how do you feel about cabbages? Taiwanese Cabbage Sauté goes well with a glass of white.
