I control aspects of my upbringing that neither of you could [b]begin [/b]to understand -- and I am [b]dismissed[/b] -- by [b]him[/b] -- as a [b]threat[/b] to be monitored for some hidden agenda? [b]It isn't fair[/b]" [b]-[/b]Name Damian Wayne [b]-[/b]Alias: Robin, Occasionally Ibn al Xu'ffasch [b]-[/b]Age 12 [b]-[/b]Occupation: Middle Schooler, Vigilante [b]-[/b] Skills & Abilities: Even before becoming Robin the League of Assassins trained Damian in stealth,acrobatics, martial arts and other skills essential to an assassin from an unhealthily young age. His more recent training with Batman has further sharpened his skills and added limited knowledge of escapology, investigation, and hacking to his repertoire, though the non-lethal methods used by the majority of the Bat-Family still constantly clash with his prior training. In addition, though he's relatively inexperienced he possesses a genius level intellect and a natural talent for mimicry that make him a fast learner. [b]-[/b]Equipment Robin suit and utility belt [b]-[/b]Personality & History [b]Son of the Bat[/b] Allegedly the result of a passionate night between Talia Al Ghul and Bruce Wayne, Damian was the product of a long term plan of Ra's Al'Ghul formed in order to create a perfect tool and heir for his legacy after Bruce turned down his offers to take up the position himself rather forcefully on multiple occasions. The idea was to have not only a potential heir but also a source of leverage against The Batman in future attempts to convert him to Ra's way of thinking. To that end Talia seduced Bruce through questionable circumstances then hid away until Damian was born, concealing his existence and raising him within the League of Assassins. [b]Heir to the Demon[/b] Damian was trained ruthlessly in the ways of the League of Assassins from nearly the time he could walk and instilled with the ideologies of Ra's Al Ghul almost as early. But outside of his training he was treated as a prince, the son of Ra's Al Ghul's favored heir if not the heir himself, showered with gifts, surrounded by servants and never wanting for anything his heart desired. As a result he took to his lessons and lifestyle within the League passionately, becoming arrogant, ruthless, accustomed to power and convinced he was on a righteous path. More than anything though, he idolized stories his mother told him of his father Bruce Wayne-The Batman a powerful warrior who punished the wicked and would someday join him and his mother in saving the world. It wasn't until Talia revealed Damian's existence to Bruce and supposedly left him under his father's protection against the wishes of an increasingly unstable Ra's Al Ghul that he learned how different reality was from his dreams. [b]One of the Family[/b] Since coming under his father's tutelage Damian earned the position of Robin mainly through stubbornness, sneaking out to "help" with Batman's nocturnal activities no matter how often he was denied the privilege. Over the past year or so he's struggled not only to be accepted by Bruce's inner circle but also with his own shift in identity and the former lack of rules in his life, especially his willingness to kill. Much of his former arrogance has been forcibly stripped from him. [b]Character Interpretations[/b] Bruce Wayne: Father is...not at all what I expected. But I _will_ prove myself worthy of his name and mission, it's what I was born to do. He just doesn't know it yet.

[/list] [list] [*] Story Arc: [b][i]Heir to Two Worlds[/i][/b] [/list] Damian has finally started to feel some measure of acceptance for his new life in Gotham despite his struggles. However, one night while on patrol as Robin he is forcibly sidetracked by a mysterious assailant claiming to be a messenger from the League of Assassins and more importantly, from Ra's Al Ghul himself. Ra's has declared that Damian's time with his father must come to an end, that he wants Damian to return to the League as his favored grandchild and stand by his side once more. What will happen when he's forced to choose between his old life and his new-found family? [b]Extras[/b] [list] [*] Damian has a major weak spot towards animals of all kinds, would likely bring pets back to the batcave on a regular basis if he were allowed to do so and has even begun considering vegetarianism. [*] The closest thing he has to a hobby is probably drawing, initially done as an exercise in observational skill but now as something to do when bored or as an emotional outlet. [*] Damian made a promise to Bruce that he wouldn't kill anyone as a condition of becoming Robin. Despite not always understanding the point of it and what others might believe he actually takes it very seriously.
