Learned Abilities: Tim Drake possesses the normal human strength of a teenager who regularly engages in intensive physical exercise. The Batman has trained him in many disciplines, such as martial arts, forensic, criminology, acrobatics, stealth, disguise, and escapology.
His naturally high intellect allows him to excel in computer science and more importantly as a skilled detective.
Equipment: Tim owns and uses a number of various pieces of equipment that he receives from Batman. This equipment includes jumplines, batarangs, various gas capsules, and several other technologically advanced gadgets. His costume is bullet proof and fire resistant and his mask is fitted with night vision lenses. Unlike other Robins, Tims mode of transportation is a crimefighting car known as the Redbird. He also uses a bo staff when fighting.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Tim Drake is young and can be a bit brash at times. He has no known superpowers and is susceptible to most forms of attack.
Background:
Tim Drake was born into a prominent family. His father is the owner of "Drake Industries", one of Gotham's most important industries. It used to be a typical family.
One day he went to the Haly Circus with his parents. It was the first time Tim visited the circus. Jack Drake asked a family of trapeze artists (John, Mary and... Dick Grayson) to pose for a photograph. Dick put Tim on his knee while the photo was taken. During the show Tim didn't pay attention to all the other performances: he was excited, waiting for Dick's one. Finally, the Flying Graysons appeared. Tim was all the time seeing all the acrobatics Dick was doing. Dick ended his perfomance with an incredible quadruple hop in the air. Afterwards, while Dick was going down by one rope, his parents continued the show in the trapeze. Suddenly the trapeze ropes broke, and Dick saw his parents falling to their deaths. Tim saw them, too. Then Tim saw a dark figure landing near Dick: it was Batman, who investigated all that had happened.
Jack and Janet Drake sent the photo taken before the show to Dick (who became Bruce Wayne's ward) and never reminded Tim about it. But Tim had lots of nightmares at nights: in these nightmares Tim saw Dick doing his quadruple hop, and then, John and Mary Grayson falling down and down.
When Tim was nine he saw on TV how Robin saved Batman by means of a perfect quadruple hop in the air, so he realized Robin was Dick Grayson!!! "...Dick is Bruce Wayne's ward, so Bruce Wayne might be Batman!!!..." he thought too. Since then he collected all the news about Batman and Robin to prove his thesis.
When Dick stopped using his Robin costume to become Nightwing, Tim realized there was no Robin. When Bruce Wayne adopted Jason Todd, there was a Robin again. Finally, when Jason Todd died, there was no Robin, so Tim was sure his thesis was true. Tim realized Batman had changed: Batman become more violent and cruel, and sent criminals to the hospital for no reason. Tim thought Batman needed a new Robin to control his actions, so he went to New York looking for Nightwing. Dick refused to become Robin again, but he aided Tim to become the new Robin. Tim, Alfred Pennyworth (Bruce Wayne's butler) and Nightwing helped Batman to return to the right way. Then Tim convinced Bruce Wayne that Robin was necessary, so finally Bruce agreed to start training Tim.
While Bruce was training Tim, Jack and Janet Drake were kidnapped in a charter flight over Haiti by a voodoo magician named Lord Obeah. 10 million dolars were asked for them to Drake Industries. Batman tried to rescue Jack and Janet Drake, but both drank poisoned water that killed Janet and make Jack paralytic. Batman sent Lord Obeah to prison.
Now Tim wears a new Robin costume (Batman decided to design a brand new costume for Tim), that has plenty of weapons and micro-instruments. This costume is capable of protecting Tim from bullets. Batman even designed a vehicle named Redbird, that has as much equipment as his own Batmobile has. Tim not only uses all this equipment but also uses all the detective methods Batman and Nightwing have taught him.
Personality : Tim is outgoing, independent, wise cracking,and very smart. He is often quite and serious, especially when it comes to his work as Robin. He is very organized and tends to stick to plans. Tim is best desribed as a crime-solver, whereas other Robins would best be desribed as "crime-busters". He is quite loyal and cares deeply for his friends and teammates. He takes both pleasure and pride in his detective work.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Tim could not sleep. There was still too much going on in the inner workings of his mind for him to have even considered sleeping, so he felt a bit foolish as he sat up in the dark room. He was tired, yes, how could he not be after a night out in Gotham dressed up like everyones favorite sidekick.
He rubbed his temples as he shuffled across the room. He sat in front of what he would consider his natural habitat. In front of a computer screen. The bright glow was a pretty stark contrast to the pitch black that engulfed the rest of the room.
He clicked around for a few moments until he was face to face with just what he had feared. Tim had no new e-mail. Tim rubbed his eyes yet again as he sat blankly in front of the similarly blank screen.
"Wonder what the Titans are up to..". [/color]He whispered to himself as he thought about his teammates.
