I can roll with all the punches, if you hold a couple back. I can handle being broke, but I can't stand to be so sad.

Did you say Three.
It's worth noting I'mma be knocking out the first one in my first, maybe second post, and just about every other arc I've written down below's possible for a crossover. Some of them probably require it.

My Jason Todd app's getting more controversial by the minute.

"I beat death. Think you stand a chance?"

Jason is a prime example of a human at their full physical and mental potential. He's stronger than an olympic athlete and smarter than most polymaths. While his attributes puts him off the charts for normal people and into the extraordinary, he is after all just Human. Having been brought back to life might have arguably enhanced his metabolism to their peak values, but it's almost impossible to know for sure.

"That scar's my favorite."

Jason Peter Todd is human. He bleeds if he's cut, and he'll die if he's shot enough times. While dying the first time didn't take, he probably will not come back a second time.

Jason's an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, but even in that regard he has his weaknesses. He's a sub-par swordsman, able to use a knife with great ease, but once people start swinging Katanas or sabres, he's left with little more than instinct and intuition.

His left flank's noticeably weaker than his right, partly because he was right handed for most of his life, but also due to a motorcycle accident in his teenage years.
He's a bit of a hothead and might act rashly, resulting in him using his fists in situations where his brains are his greater weapon.

S K I L L S

"It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears for me to get this far. Mostly others blood."


Hand-To-Hand:
Krav Maga, Jujitsu, Karate and Kickboxing are all martial arts Jason has mastered over his life. He's also highly skilled in the Russian grappling art of systema as well as one mean son of a bitch with a knife in his hand. Jason's skills are the product of a lifetime spent on the streets of the east coast's most urban environments in the prescience of his father's gang. His constitution was hardened by the U.S Army Rangers, and then the CIA and ARGUS. And when one lifetime ended, he was reborn into the ranks of the All Caste, whom provided him with skills which would rival those of the League Of Assassins.

Marksmanship:
Todd turned out to be a natural sniper, and that's what got him into the special forces to begin with. His high intellect makes itself known when it comes to precision shooting, and while doing a 12 variable equation in the middle of a hotzone's fun and all, Jason prefers to get in close with an automatic rifle and a handgun.

Survival Skills:
When you are burned, you have nobody. He's learned how to take care of himself ever since he was young, becoming a member of the military enhanced the urban survival skills he had fostered on the road. He's a tested and true tracker, hunter and user of first-aid and basic and some advanced survival techniques.

Intelligence:
Jason's IQ's only overshadowed by his bench press. He posses a natural understanding of mathematics and problem solving, able to perform complex calculations on the fly. He's trained in spycraft, interrogation techniques and gathering intel have all become second nature to him. He's got a bachelor's in criminology, something his father made sure of before he was even 15.

Mystical Knowledge:
Jason has a rudimentary understanding, knowledge and experience of magic. Ducra would try to teach him her ways of how to manipulate the forces one couldn't see. Bend reality to one's will. While Jason saw the appeal, it was something he recognized he had no natural talent for and has no combat applications of the arts. Instead focused on learning how to deal with those that do have the talent he didn't.

Misc. Spycraft:
Jason's an excellent liar, conman and overall quite a grifter. Intelligence and counter intelligence is all a bit of a cat and mouse game for Mr. Todd. He's known to forge ID's, take on new identities or work out a number of different foils to reach his goals. He's got a long list of contacts in the intelligence community - even though most think him to still be dead.

The Biker Prince Of Gotham:
Willy Todd's one of the more ruthless - albeit not successful criminals in Gotham's history. An enforcer turned captain of a motorcycle club, Willis made the road his stomping grounds, and Jason's inherited that from his father. He's an excellent rider of most motorcycles, as well as cars. Prefer American muscle over imports. He's a talented and well trained mechanic, maker of ammunition, mostly slugs and pistol rounds and able to make most basic explosives used in urban gang warfare. Not to mention a wealth of knowledge of the criminal underworld.

Equipment

"Knives don't need reloading."

Weapons: Jason has multiple caches across the east coast setup with military grade weaponry, and therefor can gear up for almost any situation with fairly short notice. Though, at any given moment, he'll be carrying a handgun, three knives, a snub-nosed revolver and a sawed off one-handed shotgun. A couple of explosives are most likely on his person, as well.

Armor:
Jason's jacket is made out of top quality carbon fiber, making it lighter, but just as durable as Kevlar. He wears a stabvest under his jacket and shirt. His gloves have titanium studded knuckles, while having carbon fiber reinforced portions, same goes for his pants and boots, making his ensemble about as durable as a fully armored SWAT officer.

Ballistic Hood:
The 'crown' of the leader of the Red Hood gang. Once upon a time, it was just a plexiglass cylindric helmet, but over the life of Jason's father, he changed the look of the Hood. The last hood Willis had made was a Next Gen Ballistic Keval-Carbon Fiber hybrid, capable of deflecting a rifle round at close range. The Hood's currently in possession of the one Jackson Adams, the acting captain of the Red Hood gang.

"My name is Jason Todd. Or better known to the NSA, CIA, Homeland Security, FBI, KGB, Mossad and Interpol as the Red Hood."

To tell the story of Jason Todd, one have to start with his father, John William "Willy" Todd. John was a small time criminal with big ambitions, he was hired muscle of the Gotham Mob by the time of Jason's conception. While his bride-for-the-night wanted to have an abortion, Willy made sure she didn't. Having an offspring filled the man with motivation and he carved his own path as the leader of a motorcycle club, starting the Red Devils, a chapel of Hell's Angels, and when Jason was born his mother wanted nothing to do with the child - more focused on getting her next shot of Heroin.

Jason was Willy's price. His legacy, and he taught everything he knew to the boy. As Jason grew, so did Willy's reach, by the time Jason was a toddler, Willy's gang was one of the biggest up and comers in Gotham. Jason took after his father in most aspects, yet it became clear pretty early that Willy held something other than just pride in the boy. Perhaps it was when the boy was better at Math than him, and only 7 years old. Or perhaps it was how Jason taught himself how to speak Spanish in one summer at 8. He began to feel a sense of dread towards the boy. This caused Willy to turn abusive towards Jason, beating him to 'make him strong' and teaching him that there's only two things to fear in the world. 'God and me, Boy.' Willy would tell him.

Jason grew up a criminal. Petty crimes at the start, but by the time he was 15 he was the prince of crime in the East Coast. People in the Suicide Slum, Crime alley and Queens knew, and feared the red-haired boy. His life took it's first big turn when he was 16. He and a couple of fellow young members of the Red Hood Gang, as it now had become known, were doing their first big score on their own.

Robbing a jewerly store. One of the other guys shot the guard and Jason got pinched making their escape. When held by the local PD, a man in a ten thousand dollar suit and almost as expensive sunglasses walked into the room and took over the line of questioning. He flashed his badge to the cops and disconnected the cameras in the interrogation room. The specifics of what was said in the room are unclear to this day. Only that he was impressed with the young man Most of what happened afterwards in Jason's life's classified.

It's known that he didn't set foot in Gotham for almost ten years afterwards. He's seen in a couple of photos of U.S Rangers basic training. He's named in some redacted reports about fire fights in Afghanistan, and it's known he did two tours in the middle east, once as a Ranger and once as part of some form of special operations. In between the two, he also spent a year in South America working against the Cartels down there, potentially working for the CIA.

During his second tour in the middle east, 3 years ago, Jason and his squad got involved in a local heroin smuggling ring and for reasons unclear to them at the time, they were all burned, and lost all of their safety net from the U.S Government. He and the rest of his unit was KIA by a suicide bomber near to the border of Iraq. Jason Todd was buried in a empty coffin at the Gotham National Cemetary, like his fellow Gothamites who died in the line of duty. His body had never been recovered and news spread of the young soldier's demise. Willy had a heart attack and began retiring from his life of crime soon after the news of Todd's demise.

Jason Todd was dead. But his story wasn't finished and fate had more left for the young man. He woke up in a pool of sickly green water, every part of his body feeling like it was on fire. He screamed, and he ran. He doesn't recall much else about the first few days. His first memories come from waking up in a dark room, one lone candle burning at the far end of the room, where a very old woman sat, watching the flame as if it represented his life.

She was Ducra, Ducra of the All Caste. And she was his savior.
He spent the next three years in Ducra's care. Learning from her, honing his skills to a level he couldn't have imagined before. News of his father's passing has drawn him out of his 'hiding' and back into the realm of the living. He has a birthright to claim and more than a few wrongs to right.

Story Arcs

"I'm taking back what's mine."


Heavy Is The Head That Bears The Hood: Coming back from the dead, Jason heads to New Jersey as 'Jason Locksley', where the Red Hood gang are said to currently be doing their business. He has a homecoming to attend to. A Birthright to claim, and probably a war or two to get into. Jackson doesn't give him the warmest of welcomes.

My name is Jason Todd, and I used to be a spy: Cole Cash gets in contact with Jason. Cole's a fellow ranger who figured out something was awry about the way Jason was pronounced dead. Cole has a problem Jason's the only one who can solve.

The Losers: Finding out his squad's demise in the Middle East wasn't the random act of a group of Taliban, but rather a conspiracy lead by a rogue agent. Jason reconnects with some people in the intelligence community, outing himself as still being alive and trying to find out why he was burned.

Red Hood's Outlaws:
Jason sets up his base of operations as his 'mercenary unit with morals', turning the Red Hood Gang into an international mercenary outfit hellbent on preventing crime by taking control of it. He'll have to deal with non-believers and loyalists to the ways of his father, and Jackson, the previous Captain.

The One Who Made You:
Essence, a fellow member of the All Caste finds Jason and tells him that the All Caste has been destroyed, that he's the only chance at saving Ducra and preventing the Caste from collapsing. They go to the pocket dimension of the All Caste and fight their way through the undead forces of The Untitled.

Always bet on red:
Roulette scouts him for one of her 'games'.

Worst. Heroes. Ever.
Rick Flag approaches Jason and forces him to work with The Suicide Squad on a mission.

Supporting Characters

"Some of these people I like. The others will soon be dead."

Allies:

Ducra:
The closest thing to a mother Jason had. Ducra taught him ways to calm his soul after his resurrection, putting to rest many of his aggressions he had in his previous life. Well, putting to rest is quite the stretch. She helped him channel them into something more useful.

Essence:
A fellow member of the All Caste. She, unlike Jason had quite the knack for magic and uses it to get in touch with the Shadow Force of the Dark Zone. She uses these abilities to bend shadows to her will, energy projection, telepathy and teleportation, amongst others. She and Jason had a romance during their time together and she's more than a little upset that Jason chose to leave the All Caste.

The All Caste:
A counterweight to the league of assassins. The two have always existed and it's impossible to know which was the first. They both draw their power from mysticism and tradition, but while the League focuses on shifting the world, the All Caste's focused on protecting the spiritual side of the world. They guard the veil and protect the souls that linger there. They are sworn enemies of The Untitled.

Sasha Scarlet:
Fellow street urchin and member of the Red Hood gang. She and Jason were an item before Jason got pinched and left the gang behind. Now that he's back, they've rekindled their once upon a time love.

Rose Wilson - Batgirl:
Rose and Jason met in South America.

Cole Cash - Grifter:
Cole and Jason got to know each other during Jason's first tour in the middle east. They were both rangers of about the same age and ended up getting along quite nicely. Cole was also a quick thinker and someone who had been faced with the choice of joining the army or rotting in jail. Jason made it clear that he believed in doing a little bad to serve the greater good, which made Cole give him the nickname 'Locksley' - a name that has stuck.

Franklin Clay:
A senior ranger and CIA agent and was Jason's partner in South America during their anti Cartel work.

Rick Flag:
Jason's CO during his time in the Ranger's and his mentor after scouting him for the CIA. The extent of their relationship's classified. Currently working for ARGUS.
