I’m coughing my lungs out, but otherwise fine.

I hope you feel better soon. Did you get checked out at the doctor?

I'm sorry for the late post in the Christmas event, but hopefully what I posted makes up for it.

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

We're glad to still have you with us, and that there's a post at all.

I apologize for ghosting. I just...couldn't bring myself to continue with Cyclops. Storm's Emma was a big reason that I even thought about creating something for Scott and then I fell into a ditch when it came to writing the second post. Got half way and just...couldn't continue. My apologies for any issues I might have caused. Maybe I'll return properly and bring that spark with me that I had when I first applied. *Stares at the completed Wally sheet*

I hope all your writing goes well.

I'm working on a post for Vilhelm too. I let the time get away from me on that one lol. I wanna try and free him up for interactions too.

Goodness gracious I've been bamboozled! [+]

He learned how to fight on those same streets out of necessity. Every scrap of food was hard won and he wasn’t giving them up for anything. With a little formal training, he could become something scarily formidable. ◼ Stealth Whether it was shoplifting or illegal dumpster diving, however Jason managed to get his hands on the necessities usually required some level of stealth to acquire. Not only that, but he’s been avoiding CPS for years since the last time he ran away from a foster home. ◼ Athletic Physique Jason may be scrawny, but he is surprisingly agile. He’s been climbing fire escapes into abandoned buildings looking for a dry place to sleep, outrunning bullies and cops, and supporting the weight of his deliriously drug-addicted mom for as long as he can remember. He may not be hitting the gym, but real life has provided plenty of opportunities to strengthen himself. ◼ High Intelligence Stupid people don’t survive, let alone thrive, on the streets. Finding food, shelter, and gaming the system for what he needs all while staying out of jail without making any deals with criminals takes a certain level of skill. Jason is incredibly observation and he reaps the benefits of learning from others’ successes and mistakes. Libraries are free, warm, and quiet which has offered him a lot of opportunities to dig into textbooks and reference materials to expand his skills. He’s made a few bucks here and there trading his natural aptitude for cash - repairing phones and space heaters for others living in the projects of Gotham. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Toolbox Jason has cobbled together a very effective array of tools that allow him to do everything from tinkering and repairs to hot wiring cars and picking locks. ◼ Baseball Bat Fists will only carry you so far in a fight, especially as a kid on your own trying to defend your meagre belongings. Jason swiped an aluminium bat from the local little league tryouts and it’s been his most trusty weapon ever since. - A L L I E S & A N T A G O N I S T S A L L I E S & A N T A G O N I S T S _________________________________________________________ [+] - B A T - F A M I L Y ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ ??? - The current Mayor of Gotham City. ◼ Kate Kane - Kate is Thomas's seventeen-year-old niece, whom has been dealing with her trauma.

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... __________________________________________________________________________________ Jason’s life was guaranteed to be difficult from birth. His parents were barely making ends meet in minimum wage jobs, so his father was determined to lift them up out of the dirt when he found out Sheila was pregnant. Unfortunately, Willis struggled to climb the ranks quickly, and ended up thrown under the bus as a fall guy for a botched bank heist when Jason was only two years old. Sheila, now feeling the pressure of being a single mother in a town that seemed determined to grind her under the heel of it’s boot quickly turned to stimulants to allow her to work long hours at multiple job trying to make ends meet. The problem, of course, being she couldn’t sleep when she finally got home, forcing her to layer downers on top. It was a vicious cycle that was impossible to maintain. By the time Jason enteredelementary school, his dad had been killed in a prison riot. The news send his mother spiralling further out of control, and food at home became scarce. Bills started piling up, and half the time at least one of their utility bills would get so far behind the city would cut the service. Left with no other choice as his mother slipped further and further into addiction, Jason had to figure out how to fend for himself. At the age of five, he started to lurk around the grocery store dumpsters, watching older kids living on the streets go diving for cast offs. One was kind enough to take him under her wing and show him the ins and outs of surviving on nothing until she got picked up for shoplifting. While there was safety in numbers, there was also a hierarchy and he didn’t like being at the bottom as he often was as the youngest in the group so he preferred to go it alone most of the time. CPS intervened for the first time when truancy officers showed up at his apartment to find his mother in a drug-induced stupor and Jason nowhere to be found. He was removed from the home and placed with a foster family. He stayed there for a few weeks until he couldn’t take being treated like a thieving, second-class citizen anymore. He went on to run away from five more foster homes and a group home before CPS gave up trying to track him down. Still, he is extremely careful to avoid getting arrested so he doesn’t get sent back to another state home. Jason didn’t exactly have lofty aspirations for himself; Gotham isn’t a city that makes it easy to dig your way out of poverty. That changed when the Batman saved his mom from her attacking drug dealer. Suddenly he had someone he could actually look up to and respect, someone who didn’t care where were on the socio-economic ladder and instead just believed in what was just. Batman gave him something to believe in and aspire to, so he did the only thing he could think of: he followed him home. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ Jason has been my favourite Robin since…like, forever. I have a lot to say about the way DC has treated and used him (I will die salty about the phone-in hotline that decided his death). That’s not to say I’m not going to kill him off - because I am - but I’m going to choose a route that isn’t a cop-out and actually makes sense while keeping him in Gotham where he belongs. Kindred and I have already talked about this and hashed out some of the details for the future. The Joker still kills him, he still comes back wrong, and he still ends up exploited, but this time it’s not the League of Assassins that brings him back. Something or someone more sinister is pulling the strings this time, and it might just break the Bat-fam this time to get Jason back. But first! He has to prove himself to Thomas before he becomes Robin for real. N O T E S N O T E S ________________________________________________________________________________________ Costume [+]
