His physical and mental game are razor sharp thanks to years of training from his adopted father Bruce Wayne, and his time in the circus. His fighting style, a mixture of numerous martial arts. Is a combination of using speed and airborne movement with more traditional punches, kicks, and take downs. Nightwing does keep a variety of tools with him. From wingshots, similar to Batman's baterangs, to a pair of escrima sticks which not only can be quickly made into a single bo staff, but have taser points at their upper tips. The sticks also have a security measure that if a hand that isn't wearing Nightwing's gloves grabs hold of them to send out an electric shock enough to knock someone out. Only Nightwing himself has the means and knowledge to turn that off if he wants too. Skills: On top of his combat skills Nightwing keeps a portable computer system in his left glove's wrist which helps him hack into systems. Brief Bio: Dick Grayson was born and raised in the bright lights of Caper Brothers International Circus. His family had held court as premier circus performers for generations. From the trapeze, to the tight rope, to more recent things like the motorcycle ball of death. Dick Grayson took after his family as he began training from an early age. A childhood learning from the RV the family used to get from location to location, playing with other kids of circus performers and occasionally the animals of the show. Finally when he got his first chance to perform it gave young Dick Grayson his first taste of adrenaline. A feeling from that night on he had to feel however he could. When Dick turned 9 however, things took a turn for the absolute worst. The circus was in Gotham City for a special charity show. Many of the city's luminous and wealthy were in attendance, including one Bruce Wayne. During the performance, the notorious criminal known only as The Joker ended up hijacking the show. Killing the ringmaster and holding the entire arena hostage. Harley Quinn, his partner in crime, went to place a bomb in the arena as instructed. She didn't count on Dick Grayson following her, and knocking her out to get himself enough time to get the bomb into the nearby bay. Where it detonation without harm to anyone. Dick Grayson's joy in succeeding though quickly faded when he returned to the arena, and watched his family be tagged and taken to the hospital's morgue. Dick Grayson soon found himself in a nearby foster home. Though it wasn't for long as he was adopted. A man none other than Bruce Wayne. It didn't take long for the crafty Dick Grayson to not only find out Bruce Wayne's double life as Batman, but be able to sweet talk his way into training to become Robin. Batman's famed sidekick. Years later when Robin, alongside Kid Flash and Aqualad, saved Supergirl and became the team known as Young Justice. Robin decided the time had come to make a name for himself and not just be Batman's sidekick. He dropped the red and black of his old Robin costume and donned the black and blue as Nightwing. Getting Batman's blessing for it first. Notes: Dick owns a specially made supercross style bike he uses as Nightwing. The bike is a 600 custom made engine with a specially made kevlar body and high grade metal and carbon fiber frame. The bike has devices in it to hide it from different kinds of radar, and self re-inflating tires.
