Face Claim: Enrique Iglesias
"You feel like a candle in a hurricane,
Just like a picture with a broken frame.”
Just like a picture with a broken frame.”
Likes: The Bat Family, killing the bad guys, watching the light leave the eyes of a terrible person, working out, movies, pool, women, guns, motorcycles, things that go fast, fighting, biker/leather jackets, people who are willing to go all the way with killing a bad guy, acceptance, feeling wanted, detective work, Talia Al Ghul and militaristic paraphanelia such as explosives.
Dislikes: The Joker, death because it wasn't fun the first time, corruption, being tortured, torture, rape, criminals, drugs, innocent deaths and villains.
Personality: Jason is a character who is not broken but rather bent. He is consumed by his rage, anger and feelings of abandonement. He is upset that Batman never avenged him and even goes as far to blame the current situation of the merging of the two universes on him as he feels the Batman had many chances to end the Joker's life which would've have saved countless others over the years yet he never did. Since coming back he feels as if his life was extendable to Batman as it seems he didn't waste much time before getting a new Robin not to mention never avenged him. Due to the Batman never killing the Joker, Jason feels as if he died in vain and meant nothing to Bruce who he viewed as a father. He feels abandoned by his own birth mother and family. He feels like no one understands and no one ever could because no one's gone through what he has gone through. There is a darkness within Jason that has built up over a long time from a lot of bad things happening to him. He is willing to do what Batman never would: kill. He will do anything to protect the two universes even if it means killing criminals/villains. He wants to make sure that what happened to him and countless others won't happen anymore.
Jason is consumed with his duty to protect the world and he doesn't view people like the Joker as a person but rather as a monster who doesn't deserve to live. He feels you can lock the joker up as many times as you want but the only thing that would ever put an end to him is a bullet inbetween his eyes and Jason's more than willign to deliver it. He has a deep hatred of criminals and villains, but the Joker tops of the list. The Joker not only murdered him, but tortured him and beat him with a crowbar, as he did to his birth mother. Not only that but he turned his birth mother agaisnt him, black mailed his birth mother and killed his birth mother. Plus he's ruined countless lives and killed countless people. Jason might be angry and upset with Batman, but he loves him like a father. He was the family he never had as a child and wishes to be able to be a part of that family again. To be able to feel wanted and be accepted. But his ways are different from that of the Bat's by far. He has the same goal but different means. Jason also likes company, but due to the fact he feels that no one can love him as everyone he's cared about has turned on him in some way in his perception, he tends to stick to being a loner in his Jason Todd persona. He does however crave love, friends and a lot of that stuff and often wonders how his life would've turned out had it been like that of someone like Tim Drakes.
Jason feels he's been given a secodn chance at life because some sort of higher power feels that the moral ethics of people such as Batman restrict them from finishing the job. He feels it is his duty to make the world a better place, even if it means killing. Deep down he feels shattered, broken and emasculated. He was killed by clown, betrayed by his mother, his father was a criminal, his step-mother was bad, the man who took him in never avenged him, everyone he's ever cared about seems to not care about him as much as he does for them and the man who took him in didn't seem to waste any time replacing him. All he has left is crime fighting. Deep down though, Jason is a caring person. He would take a bullet or die to save a civilian. He would go to whatever lengths to stop the Joker from filling anymore graveyards and if he ever had a real friend he would be there for them. He is able to sympathize with young theives trying to make it out on the streets. He was one of them at one point and Batman saved him from that life. He wants to help others in anyway he can, however, he can be slightly untrusting. Many others could view him as untrustworthy due to actions he's taken and his methods which are against the code of morals of most superheroes.
Jason can also be rather stubborn. He is a rebel and doesn't always do what he's told unless he agrees with it. His brashness and stubborness as well as his rage are both his biggest weaknesses and his biggest assests. Channeling his rage and brashness into fighting has proven an effective tool and his stubborness has proven to have saved his life more than once. He is more than willing to work alongside another hero or anti-hero if it comes to that and actually prefers that. He is lonely and hurt and really deep down wants and needs a true friend. He doesn't mind being a shoulder to cry on or lean on and feels much sympathy for others unless they are full blown killers like the Joker. He feels others pain and is very empathetic. He makes things personal. He is also the kind of person who if he saw someone going to kill themselves he'd stop it even if it meant having to use lethal force. He also prefers lethal force. He isn't like Batman in the sense of morality and all that and views it in fact as blindness and stupidity. Jason is also amazingly smart and an amazing detective. It is near impossible to lie to him and he is able to manipulate situations and people. He will make you think of an idea that he planned for you to think by purposly causing a stringent of occurences that would lead to that thought. He is able to anticipate things. He is devious, cunning and militaristic. He is also very capable of resisting some of the strongest temptations. It is hard to decieve him with seduction if he knows you're a bad guy. He does believe people can change, however, he is trusting enough to just believe it with no evidence. He would play detective, investigate and keep a close eye at all times. He also has a sort of hero complex and a survivor's guilt problem. If someone died and he lived he'd feel a lot of guilt over it and if someone is in trouble, he has to help no matter how small. There are two specific crimes that anger him more than practically anything. Murder (if not for a good cause like his own) and rape. His hatred of the latter was so strong that when he was Robin he even pushed a rapist over the edge of an apartment building killing him. He doesn't just kill criminals though. Instead he stalks and watchs his victims, soemtimes even for days, to make sure they deserve his brand of justice. If not, Batman can deal with it and lock them up.

History: Jason Todd was born to crime lord Willis Todd and Shiela Hayford, neither of which would show him much love. Unfortunately his mother left soon after his birth after she botched an illegal abortion killing a teenage girl. Sometime before Jason's memory kicked in, Willis married Catherine Todd and he was raised as if she was his birth mother. Willis wasn't much of a loving father and wished to one day bring Jason into his world of crime even going as far to teach him things such as how to steal car tires from a young age. His father was murdered by Two-face for double-crossing him and Catherine soon became very sick. Jason was forced into a life of crime at only ten in order to help get the money for the medicine each time the prescription ran out in order to keep his mother alive. One night, Batman came in the Batmobile to Crime Alley where Jason primarily worked and lived and where Batman's parents were killed in front of him. While Batman left the Batmobile unsupervized, Jason tried to steal the wheels off of it. Batman returned before the boy could remove all of the wheels and Bruce Wayne got him into a school for troubled youths. Catherine Todd died soon after leaving Jason an orphan on the streets. Soon after, Jason earns the Robin mantel after assisting Batman in capturing a group of criminals. Jason went under intensive training under Batman and was adopted by Bruce Wayne. Jason very much looked to Bruce as the father figure he never really had and felt that between themselves and Alfred they had a small family. He loved being part of something and it made him feel better and the first day he wore his Robin outfit he said it was the 'greatest day of his life' and he still sticks to that.
Unfortunately, Jason showed much rage and anger as Robin. He was more lethal and brash with little to no patience. He had a tendency to outlash and be rebellious. He didn't always listen to Batman and often times got himself into trouble. One day, Batman and Robin went to fight Two-face, however, Batman was distant when Jason asked about the man and didn't tell too much about about him and gave him very little details. After the mission, Jason's curiosity got the best of him and he began using the computer in the Bat Cave to do research on Two-face and he soon found out that Two-face was the man who murdered his father. During their next missiona gainst Two-face, Jason wasted no time with Two-face, utilizing his own rage to get the upperhand and began to choke him to death. Batman finally realized why and stopped Jason. Jason had trouble talking about the whole thing to Batman. Jason continued his brashness and his rage began to grow. One time when told to hold off criminals Jason pulled out a gun and began open firing upon them despite Batman's abhorrance to fire arms. One mission they discovered a man, Felipe Garzonas who was the son of a diplomat, who was abusing and raping a woman named Gloria Stanson. Garzonas gets away with the crime by evading criminal charges due to his fathers diplomatic status. Later Gloria commits suicide due to the whole matter and it is Batman and Robin who find the body. Jason immediately went after Garzonas. He got to Felipe's apartment and got him out on the balcony where he told him what he had done and asked him if he was sorry or if he had any regret and the man just laughed at him and made fun of him saying she deserved it. Overcome with rage, anger and the pain of what the man had done as he sympathized with the woman and felt so bad for her, he pushed the man over his own balcony to tumble to his death from the apartment. Batman showed up just in time to watch the man falling, but Jason would proceed to tell him he startled him and he fell.
Felipe Garzonas' diplomat father soon arrived in Gotham and in an act of vengeance became obssessed with killing Batman and Robin. They tried to avoid the diplomat, however, he eventually confronted the dynamic duo in a junkyard and attempted to kill them. Unfortunately the ensuing battle would end with the diplomats death. Batman then tried to instill in the boy that all actions have consequences. As Jason's actions grew more reckless and dangerous, Batman had no choice but to suspend him from active duty as Robin. Angered by this, Jason decided to go back to visit Crime Alley. His neighbor gave him a box containing a number of things that had belonged to his mother. It was then that he found out that Catherine Todd was nit his birth mother. Jason became determined to find his real mother and using his father's old address book and the Bat Computer was able to narrow down the search to three different woman. Following a number of leads, Jason finally deterimed the Sheila Hayward was his mother. He travels to Ethiopia where his biological mother worked donning the Robin costume on the journey. He meets his mother rather nervously and is happy to finally meet her. Unfortunately, Sheila was being blackmailed by the Joker and actually turned in her own son to him. Of course his mother was then taken by the psycho as well. The Joker brings them both to a warehouse where he proceeds to brutally beat Jason with a crowbar before leaving them both locked in the warehouse with a time bomb. Both perished in the explosion and Jason's body was brought back to be buried beside the rest of the already deceased Wayne Family members. He died at fifteen
A year later, Jason would be resurrected by a reality warping punch from Superboy-prime. He unfortunately was still mentally broken from the Joker and he went into a coma. A year later he would be recognized by none other than Talia Al Ghul who would take him in and do the best to bring back his health, amnesia and mentality as he reawoken from the coma. In a last ditch effort, Talia threw Jason into her father's lazarus pit healing his mind and health. He developed feelings for Talia for all the effort and caring she put in to him, but the feelings weren't returned. Financed by the Ghul's, Jason began to travel the world learning from the greatest fighters and comabatants the world had to offer. He learned many skills and became a master in several things having learned every form of combat. He learned every way to kill a man and how to use practically any fire arm you put in his hands with expert proficiency and master marksmanship. He did this for five years as he kept a close eye on the news of Batman and others. He was furious that the Joker hadn't been dealt with properly and has been angered by the merging of two worlds. Now he has to deal with even more criminals. He blames Batman for the whole merging of the universes as he had so many chances to finish off the Joker. To avenge him and do what in Jason's eyes was right. At some point there had to be a line drawn and he had already filled too many graveyards for Jason's liking. Now he's returned to Gotham to comfront his master, to talk to him and to find out why the hell the Joekr is still breathing. He's already taken over and destroyed three big time gangs in Gotham, yet he's kept the presence of the Red Hood a secret. He has been devising a plan against the Joker for five years now and he's willing to go through with it, but he wants both Batman and the new Robin there.

rebuild this place outta Lego."

Writing Sample:
Jason truly found this man dispicable. He truly didn't deserve to live. He had been watching a crime lord in his mid-thirties for two days now. He had already gotten away with several killings as well as rape. And Jason wasn't going to let it go. He couldn't let this man go at it again. He wasn't the kind of man to stop. Jason sat on the top of the fireescape of the next door apartment building hiding in the shadows as he listened to the three men below discussing their plans on how to deal with the druggie gambler who owed them money. His eyes narrowed as they began discussing the man's wife. Disgusting pigs, Jason thought clentching his hands fiercley to the point he thought they might actually bleed. He gritted his teeth from behind his red metallic mask as images of what the men discussed popped into his mind. He watched as they entered the apartment and when the door closed he jumped across the fire escape grapping onto the ladder on the opposite side before climbing the short distance to the top of that one. He could hear the yelling and screaming inside and a gun shot.
Jason made a sumersault through the glass window of the apartment and the two bigger men who served as body guards turned to him and began shooting. Jason rolled under the bullets as he slipped out a taser in each hand. He reached them and placed the tasers on high voltaged shocking both the men in their private areas. They fell to the ground beside him with a loud thud. Screaming could be heard inside as he could hear a woman crying. He began to shake the door handle but it was locked. He narrowed his eyes before punching a whole through the door and unlocking it from the other end. He looked upon the crime lord as he sat upon the woman in her bed as she screamed, crying for help. The druggy gambler was tied up in a chair being forced to watch much to his dismay. He begged and pleaded with the man on the bed telling him he would pay the money.
"Now we all know that's not true," Jason said in his chisseled voice as he walked in. The comment was a response to the druggy saying he'd pay up the money. The man began to plead with Jason to save his wife but Jason jsut walked past him. He knew what he was going to do already.
"What the hell are you looking at, metal head," the man said turning his head to him, "What ya got some sorta deformity or something under there? Was ya mommy ugly?" he taunted before moving his face close to the womens, "Can't wait to see what our babies going to look like, but don't expect any child suppo-" Jason took out his colt and shot the man in his temple before he could finish talking. The blood splattered over the woman in the bed who pulled the covers over herself. Jason cut the roped off the man who hugged him and thanked him as tears rolled down his eyes. "What can I ever do to repay you?"
"You can start by giving up the drugs and the gambling," he said drawing himself away from the young man as he made his way over to the newspaper on the end table where the blood had also splattered. "Then you can go for this job opening," he said as he circled a job on the paper with his latest victim's blood., "Think you can handle that? Cause I don't wanna waste another bullet here?" The man nodded nervously. "Good," Jason said as he walked out the door and shot both knocked out men in the head before going out the indow. He could already hear the police coming. Jason reached inside the inside pocket of his brown biker's jacket pulling out a black grappling gun. He shot at the taller building across the street and he fired travelling to the top of the roof. "All in a day's work," he muttered.
"I'm through talking, get out of my cave,"
