[b]BRIEF Bio:[/b]
Roy didn’t know his parents as a child. He was raised in foster homes around the Star City area, never really connecting with anyone. That changed when a new foster father let Roy try archery. Roy excelled at the sport, becoming one of the best archers in the world for his age group. It was around this time that the vigilante Green Arrow began appearing. Roy was immediately captivated, even creating his own costume. Then one night, when Green Arrow was surrounding by mobsters, Roy intervened in his suit. Green Arrow was impressed, allowing Roy to become his sidekick Speedy.

Roy would work with Green Arrow for a few years, interacting with other heroes like the Teen Titans, a group he helped form. However, injuries from a battle would cause Roy to start taking painkillers, which then led to eventual heroin use. When Green Arrow discovered this he was furious and forced Roy to quit being Speedy. No longer a hero, Roy quit the Teen Titans, falling into a depression. He might have died if not for the aid of Black Canary, who helped him get clean. Shortly after this, Roy accepted a job as a secret agent for the US government. It was while on this job that he met the assassin Cheshire. They would quickly start a very destructive relationship, one that led Roy back to drugs. When his superiors learnt of the relationship and drug use they fired Roy.

Roy would fall in and out of drug use for a year, living in Star City. That was until he was approached by Cheshire’s sister who revealed that Cheshire and him had a daughter, and that Cheshire was dead. Roy was made the sole parent of his daughter Lian, which prompted him to seriously try to get sober. With the help of other heroes like Superman and the Teen Titans, Roy finally got clean, and moved to Metropolis with Lian. After Superman died, Roy felt that he should honour his memory, taking up the identity of Arsenal.

Possible drug relapse. Struggles of being a single father. Cheshire not actually being dead. Trying to fix his relationship with Green Arrow. The US government being aware of his identity and use it against him. Connecting with former Teen Titans teammates. Flirting and new romances.
