He has received extensive training from Batman, and after his resurrection, had traveled the world, learning every form of martial arts he could, and the League of Assasins, just as Batman did. -[color=aba000]Acrobatics:[/color] In his training as Robin he has been taught acrobatics. He further practices his abilities as the Red Hood even going so far as to chase the Batman Family around just to test his speed. -[color=aba000]Weaponry:[/color] Having been trained by Batman, Jakob has perfect aim when using batarangs and later, firearms. To increase his skill with firearms he went a step further than Batman on his journey around the world to learn from the masters how to kill a target with different types of guns and receiving training from the League of Assasins. Jakob has also shown to be skilled enough to hold his own against the Green Arrow in a sword fight until he ultimately lost. -[color=aba000]Genius Level Intellect:[/color] Jakob has received excellent education and tutoring from Batman, and thus has extensive knowledge of various subjects, which include Science, Mathematics, Forensic Medicine, Geography, History, and Leadership.

Sometimes it can be a blessing, but more times than not its a curse. Putting him in situations that he eventually would regret. -[color=aba000]Only Human:[/color] Jakob is usually out of his league with the other Super Heroes and their natural power. Although he uses technology to help deal with certain scenarios as his teacher Batman had taught him, but sometimes their is little he can do if the situation gets out of hand. What he would give to be able to fly... [hr] [color=aba000] [u]BRIEF Bio:[/u][/color] Jakob was born to Chester and Marley Todd, in a small middle class section of Gotham. With a robbery gone wrong, his Mother was shot and killed. Soon after his Father took his own life, not able to deal with the Murder of his Wife. At age 12 Jakob was left alone. Shortly after he moved with his Uncle that lived in the slums of Gotham. Although he was never around and barley took care of the boy. This made Jakob's life of Vigilante justice take over his world. A mix of ambition to escape the troubled home he now occupied and anger over his Parent's death. Jakob would dress up in all black and with a Red Ski-mask delivering "Justice" to Murders, Muggers, and Drug Dealers. Usually breaking a few of their bones or outright killing them. Eventually this caught up with him as word had been spread quick that a Red masked stranger was putting Black Mask's goons in the Hospital. A kill squad was made and a trap was set for the Boy. Luckily for Jakob, he only lost a few teeth before Batman coincidentally found him and saved his life. With no where to go and awe struck by Batman's performance. He asked to joined the Masked vigilante. Batman took him in. Finding pity in his history of his parents closely resembling his own. Making Jakob his new Robin. Jakob proved to be a excellent Robin. Learning quick and becoming a real assistance to Batman. His Brutal ways were cured with non-lethal take downs, techniques, and teaching. He was one of the best Robins Batman had to Honor of tutoring. Was one of the best... While Batman and Jakob were moving in what seemed like a bank Robbery, Batman and his Student had fell in a trap. Batman was disabled and his student captured by the Unknown. A few days after him being captured, Batman found where he thought Jakob was being held. After fighting his way through the building and finally to a lone Room. Only a Blow up doll laid sitting in a bloody chair. A USB taped to its arm that contained the recording of the brutal torture and killing of Jakob Todd. Black Mask making a appearance to deliver a message to Batman. [color=ed1c24]"Strange... You can save everyone in Gotham, besides your pretty little bird! HAHAHAHAH!"[/color]. Batman assumed he was dead for years, but in reality Jakob was brought back to life by the Lazarus Pit. Jakob first memory after he was killed was him training under a few unknown characters. That never gave their names. Slowly bringing back the style of fighting that Batman had once thought him. Although more brutal and more emphasis of killing the opponent then just disabling them. Advanced weapons training was also included which was never given to him as Robin. After the training was complete they left Jakob in Gotham with a piece of paper with a name on it. "Foedus Autem Sicarii". His Mental state and personality took a complete 180. Before the kind and merciful Robin, had been turned to a ruthless pitiless Murderer. His first order of business was to take down the ones that killed him. The Mob Boss [i]Black Mask[/i]. At the end he was stopped by Batman and sent to Arkham Asylum. He had been treated better than most of the other inmates there. Batman having the Idea of rehabilitating him back to his old self. Indeed he was brought back into the light, but not entirely. Once the opening arrived he broke out of the Asylum. Many years past before he had returned back to Gotham. Stories that only he knew and rarely shared with anyone. Eventually coming back to Bruce to ask for his forgiveness and giving him his Thanks for returning him to himself. For more or less. Returning to the life of a Vigilante in his own right. Helping the Needy and Punishing the Evil. Even if his methods were brutal. He made himself a part of the Batman Family once again. Helping Bruce whenever he needed it. Although usually sticking to his own business. [hider=Sample Post] "[color=9e0b0f]Are you sure, or positive?[/color]" Jakob asked. Squeezing the Glass of Whiskey harder in his hand until cracks formed. "[color=0072bc]Whoa, Whoa, Whoa there Hood![/color]" The shady figured nervously said. Putting his hands in front of him with Palms faced at Jakob, showing signs of honesty. This wasn't the first or he had been an informant for The Red Hood. Even with working with him so long he still feared the Hood like any other criminal in the street. "[color=0072bc]Come on! You know I'm good for it...[/color]" Jakob had been tracking down the New Crime Boss known as, [i]The Purple Domino [/i]in this part of UpTown Gotham. He has been keeping his hand's personally clean. To bad his Dealers and muggers have gotten a little too close to some High schools in the nearby area. Either selling Drugs to the kids or beating them into new recruits. Jakob had a special kind of hate for these Criminals. A hate that would only wane with their existence wiped off the face of this Earth. Although The Hood had been playing it cool like Bruce wanted. Just roughing them up enough for the PD to find their bodies tied up to near by Lamp Posts. He had been keeping down his Brutal antics. Their was Silence for a moment. It seemed to last minutes to the pleading Gangster. Finally Jakob stood up from his chair. The Wood frame harshly scraped against the Tile floor it stood on. The Bar they were in was as garbage as it smelled. Only the two were there, the other Criminals went running the moment they saw Jakob's Red Mask. With a Smile he tossed the Man a stack of cash, fitting his mask back on his head. "[color=9e0b0f]See you around Jimbo... Trust me.[/color]" Jakob promised before walking out of their meetup spot. Jimbo had sent him to what seemed to be a Abandoned Mine. The Criminals always picked something abandoned to stage out of. It was almost obvious. This time instead of the usual Warehouse, it had been an dead mining shaft. A nice change of pace. Even though he was used to sneaking around. All the old creeks of ancient steel beams made him jumpy. Now he only had to deal with Bats and the Echos of god knows what. Hopefully the Domino's Goons screaming for their Mommies will drown it out. A knock was heard on the Metal door that covered the main Mining Cave. The two Men around it raised their Rifles out of reflex. Training them straight at the Door. They weren't told anyone was coming down... The first one slowly moved to the Door, sliding open the View port to see who was waiting outside. No one was. The Goon raised his right eyebrow in confusion. It was made clear to him after a few seconds what was waiting on the other side by a low beep heard in front of him. Before he could clear the door it was blown out of its hinges and sent flying forward. The one behind the Door was knocked clean out. Less than a second had past before the other one began to fire wildly where the door once was. Emptying a Magazine just to put another again and waste it. After a few more seconds the dust cleared up and again nothing was on the other side. The Goon had ran scared to a nearby table, hoping to grab his Radio. Before he was able to reach for it, a Bola was wrapped around his legs and he tripped. Hitting his head on the table and knocking out. Out of the Shadows, The Red Hood appeared. He walked up slowly to the table with the Radio on it. Observing the surroundings just in case another one was hiding scared. By the time he reached the table, it hit him. Their was no other exits or entrances. It was a just a large cavernous room. His eyes widen as he felt his gut tell him what he already knew. This was a Trap... Behind him a Single man stood. He wore a Dark Purple suit, with several augmentations to his arms. Jakob wasn't sure what they could do, but could definitely tell they were cyborg. The Man's face was full of scars with a chiseled chin and wearing a top hat that matched his suit. [color=92278f]"Oh so you made it!!! You know you had caused me quite some trouble recently. I didn't think anyone so... Capable would fall into this trap that easy!"[/color]. Jakob smirked under his Mask. He was right. He got careless and sloppy, but nothing he couldn't get himself out of. [color=9e0b0f]"Are you sure I'm the one trapped? Cause from this angle it's me versus you. Trust me when I say, you better have an Army outside that Hole if you think you're going to stop me."[/color] Jakob boldly stated as he drew one of his Handguns. The Purple Domino chuckled before responding [color=92278f]"Which Hole? The one Behind me or the one Under you?"[/color] Jakob was about to question the man before the Cavern Collapsed all around him. He fell fast into the Darkness, quickly firing his Grapple gun, but to no use. The rock it hit fell with him. Then everything went Black. When he awoke he was enraged. The area he seemed to had fell looked familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it. This just increased his anger. He stood up and dusted himself, before punching a hole in the nearest wall. [color=9e0b0f]"Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!"[/color] he screamed out before delivering another blow to the wall. He let himself get cocky and now he was here. Wherever this was. Domino got away and the next time he would be found it would take months. Especially that he now knows he is being tracked down. Although he probably had an idea when he set up the trap... After taking a minute to gather himself, Jakob began walking around this new area. His weapons drawn and ready. It didn't take long for him to figure out this was the Justice League's HQ. Jakob sighed at the discovery. The only time he had came to Metro city was when Bruce brought him. He had only done that when he [i]really[/i] needed help. [color=9e0b0f]"Ugh, great. One of those 'Meta-Freaks' brought me here. Well I'm here! What the hell do you want!?"[/color] Jakob yelled out at the empty corridors. Of course, nothing answered him. Well it looked like it was time for him to find someone who would. [/hider] [/hider]
