Powers/Strengths/Weakness
Armed Combat: He was trained with a variety of weapons: swords, knives, and firearms. You can guess what his favorite type of weapon is but he still carries a large combat knife with him for those moments he needs to get up close and personal. Peak Physical Condition: Combined from the rigorous training of his previous mentor and that from the League of Assassins, Jason is pretty durable. He was durable as a Robin until a bomb blew him up, but he’s fairly certain a bomb will take out any man despite how strong they are. Pain is nothing new to Jason and most things he’ll shake off if it doesn’t kill him. Getting shot only seems to anger him and anger fuels his adrenaline and adrenaline makes him punch harder so it’s all very beneficial for him in the end… sort of. Acrobatics: While he was never quite Dick Grayson in this department, Jason Todd still has advanced skills in acrobatics. Intellect: While he may not have been schooled while living on the streets, Jason is a fast learner and he is by no means stupid. When Bruce took him in, he was tutored and learned a lot of things quickly. He was at the top of his class and even impressed Alfred with one of his papers. Technical: He always liked getting his hands on mechanical things. He showed great promise with mechanical engineering. He can make and diffuse explosives some of which the military would be impressed with. He also can operate military helicopters; a sign that he has military training on top of everything else. Marksmanship: Guns don’t kill people, people kill people, and Jason uses his guns to do just that. He is a great shot: be it with sidearms, automatic weapons, or a friggin’ bazooka; he is great when it comes to putting a hole in the head of scumbags. Granted, one doesn’t really need to aim very well with a bazooka.
Only Human: Unfortunately, a dip in the Lazarus Pit didn’t make him immune to being shot, stabbed, bombed, or crowbarred to death. Training has helped with that though! Avoidance tactics are handy. Fragmented Memories: While he gets the general ideas of who he was and who most of the people he knows are; he doesn’t remember everything. The first three years of his second life was filled with hazy nightmares that came to him in dreams to try and jump start his memories. He slowly pieced it all back together but he knows enough to be angry about what happened and how his death was handled by the man he thought to be a father figure in his life. Reckless: Dying and coming back to life can put a different perspective on mortality. Jason tends to be more reckless than ever, even so far as believing that to die again would only be temporary. This can cause him to make bold moves that would endanger his person.
history
Jason Todd was born into a broken family. He couldn’t really tell you what type of family had been like because he was fairly young when he was given up into an orphanage in Gotham City. Like everything else in Gotham City, the orphanage ended up being a hellhole he would rather forget. The moment he was ten, he was out the door and into the streets to survive on his own. Trespassing, stealing, and fights were things that were normal. Fights were generally lost since he had a tendency to fight people much larger than him but hey, he could get a few good shots in occasionally.It wasn’t until he decided that a parked Batmobile was an ideal vehicle to steal hubcaps from (he was kind of dumb when he was young) that things got truly interesting. The next thing he knew, Batman was taking him in, giving him a roof under his head, and he was being trained. What kid didn’t dream of being a superhero? Well, except a costume didn’t grant him super powers and the fact that a crowbar actually hurt, that’s beside the point. He took on the role of Robin with enthusiasm but it was apparent that he was prone to his own code of conduct and had a tendency to cross a line in how much he cause pain toward criminals. “They cut one of us, we cut one of them” was a mindset in a young Robin. It never went so far as killing though. When he was seventeen he learned about his biological mother and wanting to know her and why she gave him up, he used his detective skills to track her down and reunite with her. That had been a fatal mistake on his end. She owed much to the Joker and ended up trading him in to get out of it. The Joker instead took her along for the ride as he beat him mercilessly with a crowbar before he blew both of them up at the warehouse. And that was the story of Jason Todd version Robin. Seeing an opportunity, Ra’s Al Ghul barely waited for his corpse to be cold before he stole it out from Batman’s nose (an impressive feat in it’s own right) and dipped him into the Lazarus Pit. The first thing he became aware of when he rose from the grave like Jesus was phantom pain; reliving the blows of the crowbar and an explosion as those his body were being ripped apart. His mind was ravaged and torn, memories were broken, and he Jason Todd went crazy. He fled the pits and Ra’s had several members seek him out. Eventually he was taken under the wing of League of Assassins and trained across several countries for five years. He learned how to use a variety of weapons, learned more fighting techniques, and most importantly, he learned how to kill. He also recovered a lot of his memories that had been broken from his death. Needless to say; he had a bit of a temper as Robin, that mentality got worse when he revived and found out the Joker wasn’t six feet under after his death. Jason made plans and adopted a persona: he took a page out of Bruce’s book and took on something he feared most. He became the Red Hood; a known alias to pre-Joker. He fled from Ra’s Al Ghul and returned to Gotham City to bring the criminal network to its knees and get his revenge on the Joker and on Bruce.
It didn't work out the way he had planned. In fact, his plan failed and he was left with bitter resentment over it. Through the following years his anger had been slightly tempered, in large part to the team he had gathered 'The Outlaws'. They were a band of misfits that had each other's back. Jason's moral compass is still a bit skewed at the best of times. While on a mission with the Outlaws he had been caught in a blast that knocked his ass out, when he came to, he woke up to find himself in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. Was he dead again?

about
The Red Hood is a vicious vigilante that feels that justice is best served with a death sentence. Sometimes fear is what's needed to keep crime controlled and if he has to become the boss of the criminal underworld in order to make sure crime doesn't run rampant then so be it. Jason Todd, however, can be charming when he needs to be. Can also be quite the flirt. He carries the 'bad boy' image wherever he goes. He's playful but can also be quick to temper. He feels like an outcast and unwanted deep down. His mother gave him to Joker, Bruce failed to be a father, his so called family could see where his views on crime could come from. Jason, time and time again, felt like he was shoved by the waste side and it's made it hard for him to actually believe he'd ever have any real relationships.
shipper
Friends: Friends are nice. He likes friends. Drinking buddies or battle pals. Jason, when he's not pissed off, can actually be fun to hang around with. So long as you like getting into mischief.
Enemies: Any criminal or villain is an enemy of Jason's. It's that simple. Romance: Jason, as much of a flirt as he is, would honestly be a faithful companion; however, the closest thing to a real relationship he's had is one night stands with crazy women. He's not even sure he would know how to be a proper boyfriend... |
