Name: Red Robin (Tim Drake)<br/><br/>Age: 41<br/><br/>Affilitation: The Free States<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/>(http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii130/alexgprb/2579904-551987_442148462493524_1125856125_n.jpg) (http://s263.photobucket.com/user/alexgprb/media/2579904-551987_442148462493524_1125856125_n.jpg.html)<br/><br/>Biography:<br/><br/>Tim Drake earned his introduction into the Bat Family by deducing Batman's secret identity from a handful of clues. He was, eventually, taken in as the third Robin and trained in martial arts, acrobatics, and (most importantly to Tim) detective work. During his time as Robin, Tim had adventures and intrigues too numerous to count, but being a hero took a heavy toll on his life. His father was killed by Captain Boomerang, his girlfriend Stephanie Brown was feared dead in Black Mask's gang war, and he constantly lost friends to the various villains that he fought. All of this contributed to an increasingly withdrawn personality that was at times abrasive, alienating team members of the Titans. Eventually he snapped (despite the reappearance of Stephanie Brown), causing him to leave behind the mantle of Robin (that had anyway been offered to someone else) and taking up the mantle of Red Robin, before going on to work as an online networking source for younger heroes.<br/><br/>After John Constantine's message from the future Tim returned to Gotham to help contain a riot that had broken out in the quickly lawless city. He was approached by his mentor, Batman, who postulated a world that was quickly going to spin out of control. Bruce suggested a scheme where the world leaders were taken to safety away from the all-seeing eyes of the organisation that would eventually become the House of Steel. Tim reluctantly agreed to help, having seen in Gotham how quickly the situation could get out of hand, operating with Spoiler to collect key heads of state before anyone else could reach them. As Red Robin, Tim was instrumental in securing the President of the United States in a widely filmed event that led to the partial destruction of the White House.<br/><br/>En route to secure the Queen of England, and her cabinet, in their own Batwing Tim and Stephanie were intercepted by Captain Marvel Jr. who informed the pair that they were trespassing in the territory of the House of Thunder. Tim made an attempt to evade Marvel, but the wing was ripped off of his plane by the enraged superhero. Realising his situation was lost he hit the ejector seat, blasting Stephanie to safety, whilst he tried to maintain a course in order to distract Marvel. The Batwing crashed into a field in England and Tim was quickly captured.<br/><br/>Three years later there was a breakout at the Batson Maximum Security Facility in Paris. Beaten, bruised, and malnourished, Tim began to make his way back towards the United States and his family. He fled across half of Europe to find a port where he could steal a boat, moving from resistance group to resistance group as he did, ever hunted by the House of Thunder. Eventually he made it to the fishing port of Vigo, in Spain, where he managed to secure a ship that would take him where he needed to go. When he finally made it back to the States, he realised that the situation had changed hugely. He'd heard rumours of the power of the House of Steel, but not seen the proof of it until now.<br/><br/>Although he spent five of the first seven years after Constantine's message away from the Free States, Tim was still accepted back into the group (after a number of rigorous tests for mental conditioning). He generally serves on his own, still scarred by his time in captivity. The main use for Tim as time goes on has been as liaison to the House of Titan, one of the few relatively friendly groups left in the world. Red Robin is generally known to be a bitter, withdrawn figure that does little to improve the mood of a situation.<br/><br/>OOC Notes: I've mixed and matched Tim's origins from the old DCverse with the New 52, just because I think some of the new stuff is crap.
