Name: Robert "Robin" Locksley Alias: Robin Hood Age: 27 Appearance: [Robin Locksley](http://lestoilesheroiques.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/grant-gustin-the-flash-portrait-promo.jpg) In Robin Hood uniform: Green hoodie, black handkerchief around mouth, small pads on shoulders, forearms, and knees, black boots and jeans, quiver and bow, with a knife belt across chest. Faction: Merry Men Occupation: Unemployed, used to be a lawyer... Does thief count as a profession? Bio: I know what it was like to be rich. I was born to two very wealthy people. My father owning a law firm, and my mother being a lawyer before she passed away. I had all the money in the world, i wasn't going around bragging about it, but I was oblivious to the amount of money every else did. I would stick up for those who needed it, befriended those who would accept my friendship. I met some good friends I still have today in my younger years. One of those good friends was Tyrone Tuck, more commonly known as Friar Tuck. I was a young boy when I first met him, with my parents being Catholics, but as the time went on I would often go to the Friar for his advice, because he didn't really seem to take sides, or hold grudges (which is very good for me). Like Robin, Friar Tuck had this habit of trying to help those who weren't economically sound, or just needed the help in any case. I soon followed in my parents footsteps becoming a lawyer, using my charm and looks to give me an edge. They started to teach me when I was young so I wouldn't take so much time in school, they also had connections to make the process faster, and I was a natural at that as well. I usually took the cases others wouldn't, which didn't make my dad or his business partners happy. That didn't stop me from doing what's right. But being this, there was this girl... Marian Anderson had to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, but being a cocky, rich lawyer gave me that... I messed around with her, tried to use my charm in a not so romantic way, and well.. she didn't like it that much. We respected each other professionally. I partied, I laughed, I had fun, dad and I would go to the shooting range every once in a while as well, you can never be too safe in New York. I was pretty good with a bow and a sniper if I do say so myself. Everything was going right until my dad told me to purposely lose a case. I refused, and one night after work, I was beaten to a bloody pulp to make it clear that I lose that case. I won it... but that came with a price. I went bankrupt, I lost connection to my father, and I had nothing to my name... I went to Friar Tuck for some recovery, him giving me a place to stay and some food until I got up on my feet again. But I was smart. I had a few hundred dollars stored in a secret account, I bought a small apartment, i had some friends retrieve some personal items for me, and I trained. I wasn't going to get my ass handed to me again. I spent days working out, learning to fight, throw knives, parkour, everything a successful thief needs. It took a long time, a lot of scars, mess ups, but I did it. All that was left to do was get a band of people together that has the same interests... So i made some calls, made arrangements, and a few skilled friends of mine stole tens of thousands of dollars from a business who hired guys to beat me up before my life changed... Since then our legend grew. Little John and I grew Our band of Merry Men (and Women!), and we are the most wanted people in New York, with yours truly at the top. We give most to charity and those who really need it, and we keep a bit of it to get new technology, weapons, and these nice matching costumes to hide our identities. When I'm not being the infamous Robin Hood, I'm either sleeping, doing some research, or pretending to be a beggar on the street and giving actual beggars money. I enjoy this much more than helping the big bad businesses make more money. Personality: Charming, witty, and a smartass. Very intelligent, and is very persuasive. Extremely loyal and trustworthy to those who earn it, or to those who are in need of help. Brave, courageous, and enjoys to have fun. Skills/abilities: -Master Archer/Marksman: A natural gift. He would be taken to the shooting range every once in a while, and archery was very easy to him. Over the years it became second nature to him. He was born in the wrong era -Hand-to-hand combat: In the couple years of being jobless he had a lot of time on his hands. He took classes, had his friends in low places teach him, and although he's not the best, he can take on a couple of people long enough to get away. -Parkour: Easily can climb over fences and climb up to fire escapes. Can't scale skyscrapers, but he can escape tricky situations -Tech Savvy: Everyone in this day and age is, right? Friends taught him the basics of hacking, but he can't do the hard core stuff. -Acting skills: Another hidden talent. He has the ability to make accents, act like a beggar, a CEO, a foreigner, etc. -Knows how to drive a Zamboni: He has had some crazy parties in the past... Family/loved ones?: Father-- lost contact with him for years, Little John-- One of my closest friends, Friar Tuck-- A long time friend and a favorite person to give money to, Marian--In love with the woman, but she hates the old "Lawyer Robert" Other: Has a few scars from gunshot wounds, falling off things, and broken glass

**Name:** Marian Anderson. **Alias:** None. **Age:** 24. **Appearance:** ![Marian Anderson](http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/1501221-bigthumbnail.jpg) **Faction:** Civilian. **Occupation:** Court Stenographer. **Bio:** I was born and raised in Manhattan so it’s no surprise that I’m as knowledgeable about the streets as any of the other law enforcers out there. The only problem is that my dad won’t let me join the police force. ‘It’s too dangerous’ he’d say, ‘I don’t want to see you die’ he’d insist even though he allowed me to go through the academy; maybe in hopes that it would scare me away from the idea, but this valedictorian was far from scared. Though it seems like no one’s righting the wrongs in the city; the only place he’d let me even get _close_ to any action is as a Court Stenographer, type type type, type and more type, is all I ever do and while I’m not allowed to talk about the things I learn while I’m typing away on the funny looking keyboard… I learn a lot about the city, its people and just how corrupt the, so called, ‘ideals’ are. If my mom was alive, she’d be very disappointed at the things my father’s allowing this city, and it’s people to get away with. Sure I enjoy the higher end of life and the finer things that come with it; fancy parties, big apartment flats and smoking hot cars. But knowing it comes from, well blood money, doesn’t exactly make one feel nice. I will share with you a little information. Something that I know that most people don’t… Robert Locksley is a pain in the a**. Whenever he was in court, it felt like he’d purposefully talk faster just to see if I could keep up, and smart too. I’d watch defense attorneys’ knees buckle in fear when he’d enter the room. It’s sad to see he’s not practicing law anymore (don’t ask me what happened, I don’t know), but it’s nice not to see his arrogant personality anymore. I have noticed an increase in homeless people lately, which is sad in its own right. So I’ve made it a point to try to give whatever spare change I have to someone who I pass. I do see one however, that seemed to be pretty mobile as I run into him in quite a few places, one of my favorites was I was coming out of the donut shop and he held out his cup and instead of asking for change he asked for a donut. I laughed so hard that I gave him half of mine. I think he knows my route though, because every day when I go in for work, he’s begging by the courthouse so every day I drop off a donut to my beggar friend. It’s not money but it’s food right? **Personality:** Rather hard headed and diplomatically argumentative, it’s not her way or the highway but she’s not afraid to point out flaws and the negatives. Has a certain charm about her that helps her get what she wants and plays the innocent/dumb blonde card really well. All and all, she’s a nice girl, just rough around the edges. **Skills/abilities:** ~A ridiculously fast typer, obviously because of her job. ~Memory based around vocabulary, either written or spoken; a photographic memory only for words if you will. ~Hand-to-Hand combat training thanks to the academy. ~Gun usage, prefers a hand-held pistol but for obvious reasons (thanks dad) it doesn’t happen often. **Family/Loves Ones:** One father (Chief of Manhattan), mother’s dead. Siblings? Possibly… Someone wanna play a brother who joins the Merry Men?! I think that would be fun! Maybe friends with one of the female merry men? They went to school together or something?! **Other:** Loves to gossip about the Merry Men and their actions with her friends outside of work. In work they’d get rather butt-hurt that their employees were happy with what the Merry Men were doing but it’s about time there is some justice out there! And she never misses church and confession with Tryone Tuck.
