RICHARD JOHN GRAYSON
Nightwing
And they say that a hero could save us.

And won't you think I'm pretty[/size]

height;; 5'11"

build;; Muscular and toned. He used to be in a family of circus performers, but when they died he was taken in by Bruce Wayne. From training with Bruce and his circus days, he's gained quite the physique.

style;; Usually, Dick keeps it classy but casual. Polo shirts, some nice jeans, and nice shoes are something he wears everyday. When he's at work, a nice suit will do the trick. Though, when he's out at night, he's in his signature Nightwing costume, very different from his old Robin costume. Dick is a pretty stylish guy, and almost always looks good. Although he can have some lazy days where he'll just parade around in some sleep bottoms with no shirt on. Barbara doesn't seem to mind, though.

goals/dreams;;- To become his own person
- To marry the love of his life
- Have a family with that same girl
- To be just as strong and powerful as Bruce
- To help out the new Robin in training
overall personality;;Dick is usually a very easy going guy, if you're on his good side. He protects those he loves, fights those he hates, and cares for his friends. Losing his family was a tragic loss, and it made him more vulnerable to becoming attached to people. Though, Bruce made him see it wasn't all so bad, and he took care of him like his own. Dick has a lot to thank Bruce for. If it wasn't for him, he'd probably be a miserable wreck. But Bruce, along with Barbara, brought the true Dick out, and he's here to stay.
Although mind you, if you're an enemy, you'll stay that way. He holds grudges, and he holds them for a while. If you do something to hurt him or someone he cares for, he'll see to it that you're destroyed. He can't stand people who just kill for fun, people like The Joker and Two Face. He doesn't see the point in it, and he looks down on people who's mental process are similar to that. He just doesn't like villains in general; he'd rather be fighting for justice and better of mankind than trying to corrupt it. He really just is a nice guy with great intentions.
And keep you there so you can see[/size]

history;; Young Richard “Dick” Grayson had a charmed life. He was a member of a family of traveling circus performers known as the Flying Graysons. There he learned acrobatics, showmanship, and circus skills. I the middle of a performance, someone had cut the ropes to the trapeze act and Dick saw his family fall to their deaths. Dick sought out the man that killed his parents and was saved by Batman when the killer also tried to end Dick’s life. Batman later adopted Dick as his legal ward and Dick moved into Wayne Manor. Unfortunately, Dick always felt like an outsider as Bruce Wayne kept his distance, Bruce not wanting the Bruce Wayne “persona” to become the surrogate father.
Later, Dick tracked down his parent’s killer a second time, and was again saved by Batman when he was beaten. Batman later revealed that he was actually Bruce Wayne and offered Dick the job of sidekick. Dick agreed and was trained by Batman in Martial Arts, detective work, tracking, and other skills. He became Robin, Batman’s partner in defending Gotham from evil.
Dick flourished as Robin and became a leader in his own right by helping to establish the superhero team the Teen Titans with Speedy and Wonder Girl. Things began to sour between Robin and his mentor though as Bruce became more cold and calculating in his crime fighting and Dick grew distant from the man who was his adoptive father. Things came to a head when Dick decided to leave the Bat family and stop being Robin. In a conversation with Superman, Dick heard about an old Kryptonian legend of Nightwing and with Superman’s blessing, Dick decided to take up the Nightwing Mantle.
As Nightwing, Dick prowls the streets of New York City. His relationship with his former mentor Bruce Wayne is repaired and Dick has become a mentor of his own with the new Robin, Tim Drake. New York City has a new protector and as Nightwing, Dick Grayson has become the man and hero his family always hoped he would be.
