Name: Damian Wayne AKA Robin
*
Universe: The DCU/Batman Franchise
*
Appearance: *
Personality: Until more recent times at least, Damian Wayne was driven mainly by one thing: The idea that he was destined to be one of the greatest beings who ever lived, if he hadn't achieved perfection already. He truly believed he was just a better class of human than most ordinary people and better than anything more-than-human too, a ruthless warrior prince fated to rule over a newer and better world than the one that came before just as soon as this corrupted old one was burned down.
More recently however he's begun learning the value of things like empathy, mercy and justice from his father's side of the family, values embodied all the more strongly because his father is Batman. Although he has trouble empathizing with others, is quick to anger, incredibly spoiled and still sees lethal force as a viable if not outright preferable solution to most of life's problems, he still struggles to live up to his father's example as a hero and always do the right thing.
Even so he's still a highly emotionally and mentally flawed individual, having been raised primarily in an environment where he was both treated like royalty and required to be as close to physically and mentally perfect as possible and where strength, pragmatism and ruthlessness were valued above all. In short while he's trying to be better, being raised by supervillains and ruthless killers hasn't exactly been great for his personality and emotional stability.

Powers/Skills: While he has no powers, Damian Wayne has been training for all of his life to inherit the title and organization of Ra's Al Ghul. After meeting and choosing to work with his father, the crimefighting genius polymath known as Batman, his repetoire of skills has only increased. Thus, despite being a child Damian has an incredibly long list of skills acquired due to his extremely training-and-study intensive upbringing. His many skills and assets include:
Peak Human Physiology-While not exactly Superhuman, Damian is at the very peak possible level of physical fitness for a child of his age thanks to extensive lifelong training and experimental gene therapies at the hands of the League of Assassins and further training under his father, Batman. As such he's alleged to be a physically 'perfect' human being capable of performing to the fullest of human potential moreso than any 'normal' human. The only exception to this is his height as his training has slightly stunted his growth.
Martial Arts-Damian has been trained to fight by the League of Assassins from an unhealthily young age and while his claims to be as skilled in the martial arts as Batman are entirely unfounded, a lifetime of training with the best tutors the League had to offer plus additional training from Batman within the last year or so have made him an exceptionally skilled martial artist for his age, whether unarmed or with weaponry. That said, his previous training as an assassin still constantly clashes with Batman's nonlethal methods and make him much less effective than he could be.
Master Swordsman-Though the full extent of his ability with swords is unclear, Damian claims to have studied swordsmanship directly under his immortal, centuries old grandfather Ra's Al Ghul from the earliest part of his childhood, as well as under several lesser instructors throughout his time in the League. What is certain is that Damian has a strong affinity for swords, often expressing discomfort at lacking one and displaying a near encyclopedic knowledge regarding swords and swordsmanship. Even more concretely he has demonstrated proficiency in numerous styles of swordsmanship from various countries and time periods as well as ability to effectively wield two swords at once in combat despite the impractically high level of dexterity, strength and skill this would normally require, especially from someone of his youth and size.
Acrobatics-Damian's training with both the League and Batman included instruction in parkour and acrobatics to quickly maneuver through his environment as well as evade and outflank opponents. While not nearly as skilled as his eldest 'brother' Dick Grayson, he's still fairly capable of roof-hopping with all but the best of humans and dizzying common thugs with acrobatic feats mid-combat.
Investigation-As a result of his training with Batman, Damian has begun training in basic investigative techniques. However while training with a man often called 'the World's Greatest Detective' and his own intelligence certainly gives him a decent head-start, his arrogant attitude and impatience means he has a tendency to jump to conclusions without questioning his own deductions thoroughly enough, and he has yet to even begin to mature as a detective.
[b]Tracking-Despite his inexperience as a detective, Damian's training with the League of Assassins means he is an excellent tracker capable of swiftly and accurately identifying and tracking targets both human and non-human whether in the urban sprawl of his home city or in wilderness environments ranging from desert wastelands to dense jungles, though he can still be fooled by clever enough quarry.
Marskmanship-Damian has trained extensively with both Batman and the League in throwing shuriken, knives, darts and batarangs and is a skilled marksman with those and improvised throwing weapons. In addition he actually a highly skilled archer for his age thanks to both personal interest and training from the League, although he rarely uses a bow or arrows in his role as Robin. While guns are forbidden him by Batman, he's also trained in their use by the League of Assassins
Intelligence- Damian is possessed of a genius-level intellect that could rival if not surpass that of his father given sufficient time and experience. He possesses a gift for memorization and mimicry that makes him a naturally fast learner, and thanks to an education meant to enable him to take over Ra's Al Ghul's criminal empire in every aspect, he was able to achieve things ranging from completing Bruce's designs for a flying Batmobile to successfully rooting out embezzlement and increasing profits within his father's corporation Wayne Enterprises after just a cursory examination of the company. Though he would never admit this is the case he still can't come close to rivaling his 'older sibling' Tim Drake in intellectual matters and his relative inexperience means he doesn't have the depth or sheer range of knowledge as his father.
Master of Stealth-Despite his insistence that he's naturally the best at everything, Damian may actually be the most talented of his unique 'family' when it comes to stealth , in part due to his small size and in part due to being raised from birth by a society of assassins. He was able to infiltrate the highly secure compound known as 'the Batcave' undetected before ever meeting Batman, and in the time since he has only become more skilled.
Blindsense-Damian is capable of functioning and even fighting at full capacity without the use of his eyes as he's been trained to use his other senses to compensate even when completely blind. As long as he is focused enough this also eliminates any blindspots when he fights including those created by his costume's hood.

Brief Bio: Damian Wayne was raised from birth to be both as perfect and as loyal to an evil organization of assassins and criminals as possible. Thus he's spent the majority of his young life training to be the perfect assassin and criminal leader for a terrorist organization bent on purifying the world and leading its' chosen fragments of humanity to a new golden age. Basically this meant he spent most of his life alternately being pampered and spoiled rotten on one hand and being subjected to the harshest and most intensive training imaginable for a human child on the other. As a result Damian grew up arrogant, skilled and with an extremely warped perception of morality.
During a time of great upheaval for the organization he was being raised to inherit his mother Talia decided to drop him off for safekeeping with his father, billionaire Bruce Wayne who was also known as the crime-fighting costumed vigilante called Batman. Things weren't easy for either of them, but after a long series of numerous incidents, one of which involved the extended but temporary death of Bruce himself, Damian eventually joined his father in his fight against crime as the latest in a legacy of sidekicks that have all gone by the alias of Robin.
Since then Damian has struggled with the concepts of learning basic human morality and social mores while fighting crime. However, he's recently found himself faced with an even bigger change to his life, having been sucked away from his old world and deposited here for some strange being's entertainment. Naturally, he's hardly amused by the situation.

Equipment:Robin Suit-Damian's Robin suit is actually combat armor made of incredibly lightweight cutting edge materials and as such is resistant to damage from bullets, heat and fire, electricity, and piercing and bladed weaponry as well as cold and radiation to a more limited degree. His gloves and boots are still further armored and weighted enabling harder strikes and greater resistance to hazards, and the gloves can generate a small electric charge both for activating his cape's memory fibers and for use as an improvised taser. His hooded cape is also made of a stronger version of the lightweight armoring materials that comprise his suit and thus further protects him while also being capable of a memory fiber function that lets it work like a glider when his gloves' electric charges are applied. The suit and cape also suppresses his heat and bio-electricity signatures making him harder to track with surveillance equipment. There are also various powered micro-lenses in his mask that allow him to have various types of enhanced vision and that would normally be able to have a live feed back to the Bat-Computer. The Robin 'R' logo on the suit also contains a hidden 'R' shaped shuriken as a final backup weapon.
Bird-a-rangs-Specialized shuriken with explosive, electro-shock, returning and even a hi-tech remote guided variant in addition to boomerang, normal cutting and blunt impact types. Damian seemingly has a large arsenal of these throwing weapons stored within his even more famous piece of equipment, his utility belt.

Utility Belt-The most iconic piece of equipment of any Batman protege, Damian's utility belt contains a wide range of equipment that ideally enables him to handle any situation. In addition to his many bird-a-rangs, the utility belt contains shape-able adhesive plastique explosives with timed and remote detonation devices, a plasma cutting-knife, brass knuckles, smoke, knockout gas, and flashbang pellets, two miniaturized grappling hook pistols and various lengths of hi-tension microcables, miniature thermite charges, pellets that coat enemies in globs of adhesive and both a gas mask and a miniature rebreather for underwater and low oxygen environments. Also included are adhesive and non-adhesive tracers that he can track with his mask

Others: This is kind of a distillation and interpretation of Damian at least rather than being based solely off of the current period in the comics, partially to make him slightly easier to play.
