== Character Bio ==<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/FNwaRt4.jpg)</div><br/>== Personal Information ==<br/><strong>Legal Name:</strong>Jason Todd<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Red Hood<br/><strong>Age:</strong>25<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><strong>Part of Gotham Residing In:</strong>An island base in Gotham's Great Bay (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/6/6b/Gotham_New_Jersey.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111228234050)<br/><br/>== Physical Description ==<br/>Jason Todd possesses the peak human strength of a 6-foot, 225-pound young man who regularly engages in intensive physical exercise.  His dark hair is usually unmanaged and rustled, thanks to the signature red helmet that he wears. Jason tries to stay clean shaven, usually not sporting much more than a short, scratchy beard, and that's only when he hasn't had a chance to return to base for whatever reason. He has striking, light-blue eyes.<br/><br/>== Persona ==<br/>Jason was once an optimistic young man, believing deeply in the sense of justice that Bruce Wayne imparted into him, but that black and white sense of right and wrong was shattered when Jason was killed and subsequently resurrected. Ra's Al Ghul claims the young man went mad when he was dragged out of the Pit; Jason has never denied this, but also claims, in his defense, that nobody really knows how you're supposed to react when you've come back from death. He still has a thirst for fighting crime and thwarting evildoers, but he does so now with a brand of ruthlessness that Batman did not possess. Not only does he not shy away from slaying his enemies, Jason seems almost gleeful to kill.<br/><br/>When he's not in the heat of battle, Jason is generally cold and callous; Not many can see beneath the emotion armor he has erected for himself. Some select few, such as Dick Grayson, know him to be energetic and excitable when the occasion calls for it, over-eager to prove himself, but it remains to be seen if those bits of his personality were revived with him.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/NLAJf2w.png)</div>== Key Skills ==<br/>Master Martial Artist: Jason Todd is a highly skilled combatant trained by Batman. Although he was always more of a brawler as Robin, following his resurrection, he gained more training and demonstrated himself to be far more skilled than before. This is shown when he fought his former mentor and Nightwing to a standstill, when Jason held his own against the Green Arrow in a sword fight, and when he overpowered Tim Drake at Titans Tower.<br/>Skilled Acrobat: In his training as Robin, he had been taught acrobatics and gymnastics routines.<br/>Skilled Swordsman: Jason has been shown to be skilled enough to hold his own against the Green Arrow in a sword fight until he ultimately lost.<br/>Skilled detective: Jason has shown some skill as a detective most notably in Outsiders #44 and #45.<br/>Multi-Lingual: Taught by Batman, Jason is fluent in several languages having spoken English, French, German, Italian and various others with Russian being his weakest.<br/>Polymath: After being adopted by Bruce, Jason received excellent education and tutoring from both private tutors and Bruce thus, has deep knowledge in many subjects, including Science, Math, Medicine, Geography, Criminology, World History and English.<br/>Intermediate Bomb assembly and Diffusal: Taught by a world renowned bomb expert in Russia, Jason is able to assemble and defuse a wide variety of conventional explosive devices, from improvised to military grade designs. It is yet to be determined whether or not he can diffuse Nuclear devices, in contrast to Batman and Damian's demonstrated ability.<br/>Vehicular Driver: Jason has driven a variety of vehicles from cars and boats, to being trained in the Middle East by an ace pilot to fly helicopters.<br/><br/>== Advantages ==<br/>Lazarus-Enhanced Capabilities: As of his perfect resurrection by the Lazarus Pit, he no longer ages & regenerates from injuries at a very fast rate, allowing him to perfectly cheat death on several occasions.<br/>Peak Physical Condition: By matching his former mentor in combat he has proven that he is physically superior to most Olympic athletes, just as Batman is. His strength, reflexes, stamina, and endurance are roughly comparable to that of Dick Grayson.<br/><br/>== Disadvantages ==<br/>Mentally Unstable: Jason has died and come back, thanks to the Lazarus Pits. Only one other man has done that, and Ra's Al Ghul might consider himself lucky to have his faculties intact after such a harrowing experience. Jason has a good grip on his emotions, but if he is pushed in the right way, he's prone to explode, harming friends and enemies alike.<br/><br/>Jealousy/Rivalry: Jason is reluctant to consider himself a friend of anyone in the Bat Family, even Dick Grayson, who had always considered him like a younger brother. He feels like they all betrayed him by not killing the Joker after his death. If forced to pick a side, he would fight with them, but otherwise he prefers to do his own thing.<br/><br/>== Background ==<br/>Jason Todd was once a desperate street youth, discovered and taken in by Batman/Bruce Wayne after being caught in the act of stripping the Batmobile of its tires. Impressed by the young boy's audacity to think he could steal from Batman, and all of the daring and courage that came with it, Jason Todd was trained to be the next Robin, as the previous one had grown perhaps too old and independent for the mantle of a sidekick. Jason accepted his duties with relish, having idolized Batman and Robin as a defender of poor folks like himself.<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/FbjDXdl.jpg)</div><br/>Serving as the Dark Knight's squire until his early adulthood, Jason showed a level of recklessness that sometimes put him in danger, a contrast to the much more cautious and obedient Grayson. He was perhaps not as acrobatic as his predecessor, but he had a street-wise toughness about him, a willingness to take brutal hits and keep getting up.<br/><br/>In 2008, Jason was suspended from his duties as Robin after growing erratic and violent during his last few missions, hurting gangsters to the point that they were incapable of being interrogated. During this defrocked period of time, Jason discovered that his mother was not Catherine Todd; His true, biological mother was still alive and well, working as an aid worker in Ethiopia. He fled the country to find her, and happened to cross paths with Bruce, who had been in the area hunting down a warhead that the Joker was planning to sell to local extremists. Bruce reluctantly agreed to help Jason find his mother, thinking it would help soothe the boy’s inner demons.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, it was discovered that Jason’s mother was being blackmailed by the Joker. Boy Wonder and the Dark Knight were separated during their mission, and Jason’s mother sold him out to the Joker in the hopes that he would stop blackmailing her in return for the favor. The Joker’s men apprehended Jason and beat him up, before the Joker tied him to a chair, torturing him and beating him with a crowbar. In the end, Joker detonated the warehouse that mother and son had been held in, and both died while trying to escape the blast.<br/><br/>Jason was buried on the grounds of Wayne Manor, but not a week after his funeral, Talia Al Ghul and the League of Shadows steal his body from his casket, defying sensors that Bruce had put into place as a countermeasure against this sort of thing. The goal was to resurrect Jason; Believing, accurately, that the Detective would not kill Joker in revenge for his fallen partner, Ra’s Al Ghul wished to inspire a sense of wrath in Jason for his former mentor, so that Jason might challenge and usurp Batman for dominion over Gotham. It was also revenge for spurning Ra’s Al Ghul’s offer for Bruce to succeed him as the leader of the League, and revenge for a scorned lover in Talia Al Ghul. Talia also had believed that Jason was a child of destiny, and thought it a waste that he had died so needlessly in the desert.<br/><br/>They submerged the boy’s body into the Lazarus Pit, and he emerged screaming and frantic, half-crazed and filled with visions of hell and torture. Talia took a personal interest in Jason; Perhaps she pitied him, or she tried to replace her desires for Bruce with Jason, but for nearly a year, she soothed him back to an adequate mental state and trained him in the ways of the League. They never made love, but they shared a bed often, and Jason was quite infatuated with her.<br/><br/>But his focus, the drive that kept him going through grueling training, was getting revenge on Bruce for failing to kill Joker. Some time in 2009, the League unleashed Jason back into the world, armed with a high-tech arsenal, including the original Red Hood mask; He had chosen this new look and moniker based on the original name Joker had gone by when he had first fought against Batman.<br/><br/>Jason returned to Gotham as the mysterious Red Hood, intent on taking control of the crime element of the city and dealing revenge to Batman, who had not avenged his death. Batman foiled Jason's attempt to kill Joker, to set the ledger straight; Jason disappeared for Gotham for some time, and returned to the city to compete with Batman instead of facing him. He believed that Batman allowed crime to continue to thrive with his strict code to not kill his enemies, so Jason killed with urgency, to balance Batman's misguided benevolence. Equipped with a state of the art computerized mask, a signature combat knife sharp enough to match any of Batman's weapons and a small aresenal supplied to him by Talia Al Ghul, Jason's alias became known and feared around Gotham.<br/><br/>After Batman died saving the world, Jason thought to take up the cowl and call himself Batman, and struggles with this decision to this day. At the same time, he feels as if he's carved out his own legend as the Red Hood, perhaps to someday become more infamous than his deceased tutor.<br/><br/>== Character Extras =<br/><br/>= Face Claim: Tyler Hoechlin<br/><br/>Ons: Same as player's<br/><br/>Offs: Same as player's<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Jason's equipment</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>"The red hood": Jason's titular helmet, it's equipped with the most sophisticated equipment Jason was afforded during his affiliation with the League of Shadows. Voice modulation, internal heads up display, rear and side cameras and sensors, thermal, night vision, ultraviolet vision, radio and digital communication, remote control over the Bat-glider... It can also withstand the force of an armor-piercing slug. He knows this from experience.</li><li>Bat-glider: Half jet-propelled hang-glider, half surveillance and attack drone. It can fly in excess of 300mph, though it has a safety cap of 100 mph with a rider present, as any more open-wind turbulence than that is almost guaranteed to cause injuries or the loss of grip. When it goes into drone mode, it's whisper silent. It possesses four radial cameras equipped with 50x optical zoom in most spectrums of light. Also equipped with a 50 caliber cannon with a lethal range of over 2,000 yards. Crowd control capabilities include beanbag guns and teargas dispersal.</li><li>Combat knife: Jason's combat knife is mundane in appearance, but custom-made and packing its own set of tricks. Sharp enough to cut through Batman's grapnel line, he can also send an electrical current through the blade when required.</li><li>Gloves: Can transition between a “thick and rigid” mode and a standard mode. Thick and rigid allows Jason to handle sharp, lacerating objects and catch blades without damaging his hands. In their standard form, the gloves are soft and supple and allows full flexibility of movement and touch, and he can also emit electrical currents through the gloves, which has uses in combat and in emergency defibrillation.</li></ul><br/>Jason also keeps utility items on his person, much like Batman’s utility belt, though Jason stores these items in his jacket, and within hidden pockets and compartments within his gloves and boots.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Batarangs: Standard, sonic-emitting and remote-control via Jason’s helmet.</li><li>Acetylene torch: MIniature laser-cutting tool capable of shearing through six inches of solid steel.</li><li>Grapnel hook</li><li>Line launcher: Used to repel between two horizontal or semi-horizontal points. </li><li>Flash-bang grenades</li><li>Thermite grenades: Used to burn through solid objects, not generally used as a weapon</li><li>Smoke grenades</li><li>Caltrops</li><li>Evidence bags</li><li>Fingerprint kit</li><li>Lockpicking/safebusting kit</li><li>First aid kit</li></ul></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Jason's timeline</div><div class="spoiler_body">2015: Present day, 25 years old<br/>2010: Apocalypse, 20 years old<br/>2009: Under the Red Hood story arc, then truce with Batman, 19<br/>2008: Robin is killed by Joker, 18<br/>2006: Jason Todd acts as a second Robin, in conjunction with Dick, for a short time.

Complex. They were once closer than natural born brothers, and Dick was just as responsible for molding Jason into the next Robin as Bruce had been. They had quite a falling out, though, as Jason had sex with Barbara, who had been seeing Dick at the time. Guilt-ridden, Jason came out with it to his brother. This caused a tension between them that soon erupted during a violent, emotional training that caused Jason to be injured. Batman banished Dick Grayson from the Bat-family (for a short time), thus making Jason partly responsible for Dick's move to Bludhaven and adopting the identity of Nightwing.<br/><br/>Stephanie Brown/Spoiler: Jason first encountered Stephanie while tracking the Cluemaster, Stephanie's sadistic ex-con father. There was much sexual tension between the two during their first few meeting, and by that summer, they had become lovers, and perhaps more. Jason still continues to help train Stephanie, and is wholly unaware to this point of her much more aggressive sexual relationship with his adopted brother Dick.<br/><br/>Katherine Kane/Batwoman:<br/><br/>Connor Kent/Superboy:<br/><br/>Orin/Arthur Curry: <br/> <br/>Felicity Smoake/Oracle:<br/><br/>Barbara Gordon, former Batgirl: <br/><br/>Talia Al Ghul: <br/><br/>M'gann Morzz/Miss Martian: <br/><br/>Raven/Rachel Roth: <br/><br/>Koriand'r/Starfire:</div></div>
