character information
name: Jason Todd
canon: DC Comics (New 52/Rebirth)
canon point: Red Hood and the Outlaws volume 2 #6
age: 22

(canon) background: Link to Jason’s wiki info.

abilities:
Lazarus-Enhanced Capabilities: As of his perfect resurrection by the Lazarus Pit, he ages slower than most humans and regenerates from injuries at a very fast rate.
Master Martial Artist: Jason Todd is a highly skilled combatant trained by Batman. He’s well-versed in a variety of styles, though he tends to really just be more of a brawler in a fight, ignoring the finesse of his training unless he absolutely has to rely upon it.
Skilled Marksman and Swordsman: Jason is also well-versed in the use of firearms and sword-fighting.
Multi-Lingual: Jason is fluent in several languages having spoken English, French, German, Italian and various others with Russian being his weakest.

strengths: One of Jason’s greatest strengths is his compassion. Not towards villains or anything, mind you. He's got no love for the bad guys and would rather just put a bullet in their heads, but for the good guys, for the ones who can't protect themselves, Jason is always willing to stand up and help out. It's what makes him a hero...or at least one of the better anti-heroes. This is also further seen when Jason, realizing that Bizarro may have been a threat, was ready to kill him. But spending time with him, Jason realized that Bizarro meant well and was an innocent. Instead of killing him, Jason brought Bizarro under his wing, to protect him and maybe teach him the ways of the world. Bizarro was just as mistreated by the world as Jason had been, after all.

Like most heroic types, Jason also has a nobility about him. Even if he is angry at you, or has a grudge against you, when the time comes to do the right thing - such as when Batman and the others had to face off against the Court of Owls and their assassins, the Talons, Jason made sure he was there to help, even if he was angry with some of them, because they were family, and he couldn't not help them.

Jason genuinely wants to help the world and the people in it. He may resort to some dark methods to doing so - killing criminals and thugs instead of reforming them - but that's only because he feels that it's a better way of doing things, because he doesn't believe that everyone can be reformed. He will go out of his way to help even if it puts him in danger. When Artemis was searching for clues to a mythical bow she needed, Jason - who was undercover at the time - tried his best to get her the information she needed to help her, even if it meant that his cover might have been blown. This sense of sacrifice comes from Jason’s fearlessness. He's already died once - he has very little left to fear now, so he will do his best to help the world.

weaknesses: One of Jason’s biggest personality weaknesses is his brash nature. Though he’s been taught the lessons of patience over and over again – especially since his brash nature led to his death a few years ago – he’s never quite learned from the experience and continues to jump headfirst into situations that usually require a little bit of introspection first. He thinks that he’s got things covered, and that he’s capable of handling the situation, even though the odds are usually against him. He has shown this impulse of his time and again, such as when he dove in to save his friend Roy Harper from being imprisoned. It was just Jason - in disguise - against military-trained people, but he went for it anyway.

His brash arrogance is also clouded by an unhealthy dose of self-doubt. There are some days where Jason doesn't know who he is, or where he questions who he is. This stems from the discovery that Joker played a large hand in moulding Jason’s life from childhood onwards. Everything that happened up until Joker’s killing Jason had been manipulated by the Joker so that he could have a Robin to destroy, thus pushing Batman over the edge. Everything from Jason’s dad being framed to Jason’s mother appearing to have died (in actuality, Joker had simply drugged and kidnapped her) had been planned out to lead Jason to Batman. Because of this, he wonders how much of himself is truly him and how much of himself is who he is because the Joker had a hand in guiding the events of his life.

Jason is also filled with anger. Anger at the Joker, anger at Batman, anger at the world. He was a street kid with a bad life who died, and whose death was unavenged. Though he's worked hard at tempering that anger and channeling it towards positives, there are still days where that anger takes over and causes him to lash out and the people in his life. He's always worried that he's just not good enough, or that he's not worth it - and sometimes when that happens, he tends to lash out unfairly to the people in his life, though they rarely let him get too far with that, and the anger never lasts long. He's no longer as angry as he once was, but that rage is still there under his surface, gently simmering.

skills (optional): Jason is a good detective, he speaks multiple languages, and he's a very good shot.
housing (optional): No preferences

[The device is nothing new to Jason. Sure, it might not be exactly what he’s used to, but he’s been around Batman and Roy Harper enough to know how to handle modern technology - even if technology seemed to somehow move ahead by leaps and bounds while he was dead.]

So is there anyone here that can point me in the direction to like shoot or punch something? I’ll even settle for like swordplay.

[He’s obviously a little twitchy, and in need of some sort of action. Resting isn’t something that comes naturally to Jason.

Wasn’t there something about monsters somewhere outside the city? Anyone want to go explore that with me?
