[b]Expert Marksman:[/b]
[indent]The defining skill of the Red Arrow is his skill in archery. Years of training in the bow and arrow mixed with a naturally sharp eye have made Roy Harper an excellent shot with the Bow and Arrow, allowing him to hit a moving target three hundred feet away without much effort.[/indent]
[b]Trick Arrows:[/b]
[indent]Much like the Green Arrow's, Roy Harper's trick arrows have always managed to be his "get out of danger free" card... usually. His trick arrows allow him to scale walls and zoom across gaps (Zip Arrows), create a smoke screen (Smoke Arrows), keep people in place with an advanced adhesive foam (Foam Arrows), blow things apart (Boom Arrows), shock targets (Zap Arrows), and nearly everything in-between. Roy currently builds each trick arrow by hand and designs them for specific missions and purposes. Needless to say, he almost always has the right arrow for the job.[/indent]
[b]Mechanical Savant:[/b]
[indent]Roy's skill with anything mechanical is perhaps the skill that has kept him alive for so long. He's worked hard to develop his ability to fix everything from a washing machine to an '86 Impala. He was the genius behind the Green Arrow's expansive arsenal of weaponry and trick arrows.[/indent]

[b]| [color=f7941d]Origin And Backstory[/color] |[/b]
[indent][color=silver]Roy Harper’s life was never easy. Given up for adoption at birth in Star City, he never got to know who his real parents were. The foster family who adopted him were unable to have a child of their own, and found out a few weeks in that they were more in love with the idea of having a child than actually having one. Roy was viewed as a challenging chore, and so Roy was often left to his own devices. He had to get himself to and from school, or make his way to whatever activities he needed to attend alone. His moderately wealthy parents were willing to give him the money for public transportation and food, rarely paying attention to his actions.

That being said, the wealth and privilege of being the foster child of a wealthy family had its perks. He was enrolled in a private boarding school at the age of seven, and was able to find his true passions. He wasn't a fan of his classes, but managed to find two extracurricular activities he fell in love with: Archery and Robotics. He spent most of his afternoons practicing archery and excelling, while his nights were spent tweaking the projects for the Robotics team... without their knowledge. The administration called him in to the office and reprimanded him, accusing him of attempting to steal school property. Needless to say, his foster parents weren't happy when he was busted.

He was stuck in public school, where the school couldn't even afford to keep the band afloat let alone support a robotics or archery team. Roy's days were miserable, and his nights were spent aimlessly wandering around the city. It was on these streets that he encountered his idol, a wealthy archer who fought crime by night. Roy fearlessly attempted to aid Oliver Queen as he was attempting to stop a drug deal, and Roy was able to use Oliver's own bow to save the Green Arrow. Oliver took interest in the boy, and it wasn't long before he managed to convince the Harpers that he could adopt and help this "problem child." At the age of fourteen, Roy became the teenage sidekick to the Green Arrow.

Roy spent two years operating as the teenage vigilante "Speedy." He helped Oliver develop new trick arrows and fought by his side to take down notorious villains of Star City. But everything changed a year ago, when Roy was sixteen. He suddenly disappeared from the spotlight. Roy Harper was declared missing, and Oliver Queen seemed to place no effort in trying to find his adopted son. He's recently resurfaced, this time as taking on the mantle of the "Red Arrow" without the backup and support of his green counterpart.

[b]| [color=f7941d]Summary of Version Differences[/color] |[/b]
[indent][color=silver]The backstory has been heavily modified and modernized, while giving more motivation/backstory as to how he became the sidekick of the Green Arrow. Most importantly, though, is that this version of Roy is designed to be more lighthearted and less dark than his usual representation in the comics. That is not to say that there are demons lingering under the surface...[/color][/indent]
