CHARACTER NAME: Richard John "Dick" Grayson (alias: Robin)
CHARACTER SERIES: Young Justice (animated series)

[OOC]


Backtagging: Please!
Threadhopping: Ask first, but I'll probably say yes.
Fourthwalling: Absolutely not. Your character may be aware of the fact that "Robin, the Boy Wonder" and "Dick Grayson" are fictional, but don't tell him or his CR without asking me first. Also keep in mind that Dick has a secret identity to protect and your character should not be connecting Dick and Robin unless we have plotted it in advance.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): Graphic violence and sexual situations should be addressed with me first. Dick is thirteen, and for all that he's perfectly capable of casing a murder scene, I don't want to stray from age-appropriate play without a warning first!

[IC]

Hugging this character: He'll probably flinch unless you're a close friend.
Kissing this character: Keep it age appropriate, but he won't complain.
Flirting with this character: He's 13. If you still want to, he'll flirt right back.
Fighting with this character: Be aware that he will use weapons if he has to, but sure.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Ask me first.
Killing this character: Ask me first.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Ask me first, especially because of that secret identity!

Warnings: Uhhhh dead parents?

Hey! Got a problem again. Not nearly ninety-nine of 'em, just one. And not directly financial, either, thanks to everyone who helped me out there.

[He's... relaxing. Somewhere up high, judging by the tops of buildings in the background. He's sweaty, too, having been getting ready for the fighting tournament.]

This is more personal.

See, I recently started dating. Huge adventure, very exciting, and I know I mentioned being a spoiled rich boy before, but what I didn't mention was that my primary role model was also a spoiled rich guy. So. Yeah.

Any advice on how to make a lady feel special? How to figure out what she wants without asking? Just because I want to seem psychic, you understand, aaand asking my Pokemon seems a little unfair.

All help gratefully received by me, and I hope to hear from anyone who has an actual clue.

[He tosses the Pokegear in the air, and catches it with aplomb.]

I guess then we'll see everyone at the tournament. And if you talk to Katara, please don't mention that I-- oh.

[He brings a hand to forehead, but can't help a smirk.]

Golly. I seem to have forgotten to lock this from Katara. Whatever shall I do?

This is your friendly neighborhood Boy Wonder speaking.

[Speaking, and standing dramatically atop Goldenrod's Radio Tower, with a Taillow fluttering behind him and another aerial Pokemon holding his 'gear offscreen.]

If anyone wants to be rescued, uh, now's the time.

[He reaches into his utility belt and removes a shiny red Birdarang.]

I've got my toys back.
usedacrobatics: (and bette too i guess)
[The Pokegear snaps on, and Dick, in a nice waiter's shirt, slumps down against a wall and sighs.]

So this is, uh, ridiculously embarrassing.

[His hair's slicked back, too, and he's loosening a little bow tie with his other hand. Tugging at it with a little more force than strictly necessary.]

Exactly, um. Does anyone have any tips for how to... like, not go broke? How do people keep track of money? How do you not run out?

I plead lack of maturity, lack of understanding of the value of a... whatever the unit of currency is here, I don't even know.

And yeah, okay, if you all want a good laugh at my expense, my foster father is a billionaire, both through inheritance and being the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Go ahead, I've heard all the rich kid jokes and I don't really care, I'd just be grateful, in return, for a little--

[There's a voice yelling in the distance, something about not being paid to take breaks; Dick jumps up and shuts off the feed immediately. He does have a work ethic, okay, he was a circus performer until he was nine, but that money was all put in the bank.]
usedacrobatics: (this time)
[The gear snaps on after falling out of the bag. Heard in the background is the sound of a Pokeball releasing its occupant, and wings flapping. The Pokemon, a Taillow, nudges the Pokegear towards the edge of—yes, it’s a roof. The bag was tossed up on to the roof of Mom’s house, the gear and Pokeball were jostled by the impact, and they are now both looking over the edge at a boy dressed in a red and black bodysuit, with a yellow and black cape. He’s climbing out of the bedroom window. The Taillow focuses the camera on the “R” logo on the kid’s chest. It looks important!]

Ooookay. Definitely not in Kansas anymore. Kansas would be so good right about now.

[He edges a little further out, seating himself on the windowsill, back towards the outside, and sizing up the roof. He catches sight of the bird holding the camera and grins, the eye lenses of his domino mask widening to reflect slight surprise. He doesn’t realize that it’s recording yet.]

Me not being in Kansas anymore must make you Toto, huh? Or Dinah. Birds holding cameras seem a bit more Wonderland than Oz, but I’m not the expert. So long as you’re not Cheshire, I think we can work with it, though.

[He looks back up at the roof, still grinning. He grips the edge with both hands, and pulls himself up with a grunt, and mutters:]

Since when does this require effort?

[Another grunt of exertion, and Robin forces his body upwards into a handstand, trying to balance on the edge of a sloped roof, before turning a quick tumble into a crouch.
It… doesn’t work that way. His legs are wobbling slightly, and when he tries to swing into the tumble, his balance shifts and he topples over with a brief yell of shock.

In the opposite direction.

Off the roof.

Shocked yell out of the way, Robin begins trying to grip something, anything on the wall while the Taillow squawks in distress and drops the camera. The Pokegear rights itself on the ground just in time to see the bird grasp the Boy Wonder’s cape.
It slows his descent, but the weight is too much for a small, level 5 Taillow and the two crash into the ground, Robin groaning as his knees absorb the impact. He gives the bird a pained, but grateful look.]


Well, you have Superman’s color scheme down. We can work on the rescuing thing.

[He flops over, lying on his side. Taillow uses his wings to shade his eyes from the sun, and Robin gently strokes the bird’s breast. Annoyed:]

I cannot believe I just fell off a roof. Nobody saw that, right? I just fell off a roof.
Batman would kill me if he knew I actually fell off a roof. I mean, there goes my reputation. Say nothing of the mystique. A roof. Not even a big roof. It’s only two stories—and—

[He notices the Pokegear Taillow dropped. It’s lit up.]

Why is that thing—
