IC Information:
Name: Jason Todd
Fandom: DC Comics
Timeline: pre-Battle for the Cowl (i.e. before Jason goes even more bugfuck crazy)
Age: 19
Appearance: Jason has short black hair and blue eyes. He stands about 5'11, is athletically built, and looks older than his age. His body has plenty of scars, but they're generally covered up by clothing. His typical Red Hood get up consists of a white high-collared shirt with body armor, a navy/black jacket, navy/black pants, boots, and gloves. The titular "hood" resembles an oval-shaped motorcycle helmet. Twin shoulder holsters hold at least two guns (modified glocks), and his kris is sheathed at the small of his back.
Abilities: An expert combatant, Jason is versed in several forms of martial arts. His reflexes, stamina, and endurance are comparable if not superior to an Olympic athlete's. He routinely uses high-level civilian and military-grade weaponry, including firearms, explosives, rocket launchers, and advanced computer equipment and gadgetry. A gifted marksman, he is also trained in stealth and disguise. His favored hand-to-hand weapon is a dagger which resembles a kris and can cut through body armor. In terms of skill, he is shown being able to hold his own with Nightwing and Batman.
Personality: Jason Todd is an anti-hero of a contrary nature and possessing a perverse sense of humor. He's ruthless and violent, but we also see a part of him that greatly desires allies somebody to understand the quest he's on, whether it's reaching out to Donna Troy, Mia, or even Tim, who he once beat up. Though strong and determined, he can also have moments of emotion that distract or undo him. It's speculated among fans that being dunked in the Lazarus Pit while someone else (CRAZY MCCREEPYFUCK) was sitting in it may have adversely affected his sanity. Certainly, as Robin, Jason had what is persistently referred to as a "mean streak", but as a young adult, it seems to border sociopathic at times. However, Jason has a strong sense of what's morally right and wrong... it's just not the conventional sense of what's morally right and wrong. He won't abide murderers and rapists (despite the fact he himself has killed quite a few people), and he'll use drug dealers to influence the underground as long as they don't sell to kids.
History: ONCE UPON A TIME, FAR FAR AWAY in a city called Gotham, there was a boy called Jason Peter Todd. His father, Willis Todd, was a petty crook who did not return to his family after serving a prison sentence. His (adopted) mother, Catherine Todd, was a drug addict who died, leaving Jason alone. Accustomed to ripping off car parts for cash, Jason, as an enterprising young man who knew an opportunity when he saw one, attempted to steal the tires off the Batmobile. He managed to get one before Batman caught him. Though he didn't have the first Robin's acrobatic skills, Batman saw that he could help Jason by channeling his anger and drive into crime-fighting. After six months of training, Jason became the second Robin. Also unlike the first Robin, Jason was a street kid whose attitude towards criminals was much darker. He was portrayed as the "rebel" of the Robins, prone to smoking and cursing and occasionally being headstrong. In one incident, it was actually highly ambiguous whether Jason may have caused the death of a serial rapist -- Felipe Garzonas fell 22 stories to his death, possibly because as Jason said, "I guess I spooked him. He slipped". It was also possible that Jason let him fall, or actually pushed him. Jason also used excessive force on criminals, apologizing when it got in the way of investigation but maintaining that they deserved it.
And then he died.
The story behind it, involving his birth mother, the middle east, and the Joker, was convoluted and not all that important. It ended with the Joker beating him to death with a crowbar, then leaving him next to a bomb which finished the job.
And then Superboy Prime punched time. No, really.
Jason woke up six feet under, suffering from the injuries he'd sustained at the time of his death, screaming for Batman. He eventually managed to use his belt buckle to claw his way out of his coffin in a totally badass panel where of course it's storming because you totally can't come back to life during the day or whatever. This is where things get "bwuh?" he then managed to stagger about twelve miles away from the gravesite before collapsing, being found, and spending a year in a coma. Then he woke up and... sort of just wandered out. Brain damaged. And spent a while being homeless and brain damaged in Gotham, until somebody sold him to Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Ra's al Ghul (and yes, the Arabic patronymic shouldn't work that way for Talia but I didn't make up their names) about who, if you are not a comics fan, you need to know that "al Ghul" is actually ancient Arabic for "Creepyfuck", which is appropriate because Ra's is an incredibly creepy fuck who lengthened his life tremendously through use of the Lazarus Pits, which do exactly what it sounds like they do who eventually shoved Jason in a Lazarus Pit which fixed everything else, and then Talia shoved him off a cliff into the water because Ra's was super mad. Not. Even. Kidding.
One thing she had told him was NOT to contact Batman before he learned the truth that he "remained unavenged". And when Jason found out that Batman hadn't killed the Joker, it kind of hurt. Stung. Little bit. He set out on a global journey similar to the one Batman undertook when he was first training to become Batman, and eventually came back to Gotham to ... well, it's complicated and involves literally all the villains in Gotham, but suffice to say Jason's hair was randomly streaked with white. Basically, if you've ever tried watching an episode of Lost, and found yourself wondering just what the fuck is going on, welcome to what Jeph Loeb writes. Jeph Loeb also wrote this. Anyway, the "twist" in the Hush storyline was that "Jason" turns out to be Clayface. But the DOUBLE TWIST is that it really WAS Jason! ... Then it was Clayface.
Then comes the Red Hood, an identity lifted from the Joker, who killed him. The Red Hood didn't come to Gotham to fight crime, but to influence it. He called a meet with the top street dealers in Gotham and informed him that he would be running the drug trade from now on by showing them the heads of their top lieutenants he had killed. The new rules were simple ones: he would get forty percent of the profit, and they would not sell to kids. If they broke that last rule, he would kill them.
Some time after this, he located the Joker and beat him almost to death, as the Joker had done to him. The Joker was part of his plan to make Batman choose between saving the Joker or killing Jason. This plan did not go well. :(
After Infinite Crisis!!! Batman, Nightwing, and Robin went on this journey around the world for an entire freaking year, so for a while, Jason masqueraded as Nightwing, albeit a much bloodier, tends-to-kill-people-with-his-signature-kris Nightwing. Dick came back to tell him to knock it off. This led to an event we Do Not Speak Of, which involved Jason growing tentacles and eating someone, then barfing him back out. WE DO NOT SPEAK OF IT.
COUNTDOWN was this totally great, not at all poorly written storyline that I am skimming over because it is utterly infuriating. So Jason saw this chick, Duela, get killed by a Monitor. The Monitor then tried to kill him but was stopped by a different Monitor. Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern), and Jason eventually end up on this trip around the multiverse looking for Ray Palmer, who is important because blah blah you only care if you read DC comics and quite frankly you may not care even then. This trip provides a few key moments: Jason pretends to betray the group in order to save them (which pisses everybody off despite the fact it saved their asses), they visit an earth where Jason discovers that his other self has become Batman, and they also visit an earth where Batman killed the Joker after the Joker killed Jason. On this earth, Jason takes up the Red Robin persona, and kills that universe's Joker after that universe's Batman is killed by another universe's Superman. He abandons the costume once Countdown is all finished, however.
Roleplay Sample - Log:
Jason crouched against the roof parapet, his shadow lost in the overwhelming cast of darkness that was Gotham's night. The city for him would always be half memory. What he saw now was occasionally lost in the resurgence of people and architecture from another life, as real as anything else he dealt with on a daily basis. Stone overlaid with flesh. Gotham, Gotham. He'd never want to be free of you.
Her heart was thick with all the blood spilled in her gutters, the tidal doors of its four chambers swinging heavy with the rush each night brought. And in the instant of silence that followed their shutting, Jason existed, red, waiting. One gloved hand briefly gripping the parapet, he vaulted over the side and down toward the chaos below.

5. Other "patients" ?!
This is the worst fucking Multiversal Adventure™ yet. One I didn't sign up for, and I was pretty fucking sure those were over with, anyway. Why, I haven't been randomly transported to a hellish apocalyptic planet in weeks. I'm getting all nolstagic for the days of being attacked and verbally abused by both people I know but don't know, and my own side. Fucking sweet.
I want my knife back. Who do I punch about that?
