Jason Todd || Help

Jason Todd is a young man in his late 20's. He is 6 foot tall and weighs 225 lbs. He has an extremely muscular build from years of physical labor of fighting crime and training. He has black hair with a white streak in it from his resurrection in the Lazarus Pit. His body is littered with scars, the most prominent is the autopsy scars that were given to him when he dies at the hands of the Joker. When dressed as Red Hood, he sports a brown coat over his black and gray armor, sported with dual pistols and other weaponry. the most important part of his vigilante costume is his armored red mask.

Jason Todd was the son of Willis Todd and Dr. Sheila Haywood, although his mother was forced to relinquish his custody when Willis married Catherine Todd. Catherine was a drug addict and died from an overdose, while his father had once worked for some low level gang and was murdered by the criminal. Legally an orphan, Jason lived in his father's apartment in a derelict building in Crime Alley, where he turned to crime out of necessity. Jason became highly skilled in stealing tires from vehicles and during one of his usual thefts, he met Batman as he stole the Batmobile's wheels. Trying to reform the hostile teen, Batman took the boy under his wing as the second iteration of Robin at 12 years old.

Unlike Batman's first protegee Dick Grayson aka Nightwing, Jason was impulsive, reckless, and full of rage. After a first meeting with his predecessor, Jason struck a good enough friendship with Nightwing to help on a mission. Jason's violent methods against crooks eventually caused the accidental death of a criminal. Jason's attitude got him and Batman in trouble, but he showed no sign of slowing down. Eventually, Jason discovered that his birth mother, who he had thought had been dead for years, was possibly alive outside of Gotham. Without telling Batman, Jason left Gotham to track his lead. However, by seeming coincidence, Batman and Jason crossed paths anyway as the Bat was following the trail of the Joker, who had recently escaped from Arkham.

Arriving in the outside of Gotham, Jason and Bruce worked together to foil Joker's plan to work with local terrorists but failed to capture the madman himself. Having followed the Joker to a warehouse, Jason alerted Batman to their plan. Trying to stop it, Batman focused on catching a truck filled with Joker Venom, leaving Jason alone in the warehouse with the Joker. Without his mentor as backup, Jason sprung into action, with the Joker luring Jason into a trap to protect her secret.

Joker took the opportunity to beat Jason senseless with a crowbar. Joker then tied Sheila to a post and planted a bomb in the warehouse, leaving the mother and son to die. Jason recovered consciousness long enough to untie his mother, but they were unable to escape the warehouse in time as the Joker had locked them in and the bomb exploded, killing them both. Batman having realized the danger Jason was in, arrived too late to save them. Dragging Jason's corpse from the wreckage, all he could do was fix the crime scene to protect Jason's secret identity. Later, Bruce made arrangements to have Jason and his mother's bodies returned to Gotham and properly buried. For years, Jason's death haunted Batman, as he considered this his greatest failure: not properly training Jason in his role as Robin and failing to protect him from the Joker.

Jason broke out of his coffin, but collapsed from exhaustion in the cemetery. He was found there and hospitalized. After spending a year in a coma, Jason awoke but suffered from amnesia. Being released, Jason roamed as a vagrant, unable to remember his life as a vigilante. However, the mental damage from his strange resurrection appeared to be too extensive. From muscle memory, Jason remembered how to fight but could remember nothing else. In a last ditch effort to save himself Jason tried to restore his health and memory by immersing him in a Lazarus Pit. Jason was restored, albeit with a darker personality. Jason remembered everything, including his death at the hands of the Joker. Jason was convinced his death was never avenged and prepared to confront Batman. Once Jason arrived in Gotham, after the city's destroyed by an earthquake and subsequently repaired, he enacted a plan to get revenge on Batman.

Jason Todd reappeared in Gotham City having taken a new alias - the Red Hood. At this point, he took control of the drug dealing racket. A few days later, Red Hood led Batman and Nightwing to a warehouse where the duo fought. In the midst of the battle, Red Hood escaped, and told them he had gotten what he truly wanted: a "lay of the land.". Batman is unaware that Red Hood was his former protégé back from the grave. Jason escaped into the night.

Ever since that day, Red Hood and Batman have been at odd's with one other with their differing tactics to defeat criminals. Jason is closed off, stoic, harsh, and unforgiving when betrayed. Jason Todd can be angry, but there seems to be more to him than anger and emotions. There is a hurt person, someone who was victimized, feels betrayed by those he loved most on the inside of the violent vigilante. He is someone who wants nothing more than a family despite his apprehension about love. During his days as Red Hood, Jason never had any fulfilling, stable, nor long-lasting relationships with any of the women he had intimacy with. Most of the time they would be drunken one night stands, never to be contacted again. Jason on the outside is arrogant, sarcastic, snarky, cheeky and can even be quite cruel and on the inside is actually quite self-loathing and broken. A smart, cunning, highly skilled and talented vigilante. There was a hero inside him who wanted to do good, and identified so much with victims that he was enraged beyond belief on their behalf when they were hurt. Somewhere in Jason is that hero from his Boy Wonder days and very few people have seen small glimpses of it since his return. There’s someone who both loves and hates his family and is jealous of his brother, Dick Grayson. and desperate for attention from them and especially from Bruce Wayne. As Red Hood he tries to sooth his disturbed mind from the horrors inflicted upon him by saving others from criminals. Jason Todd is someone who would die to save an innocent life, especially if he loves that person dearly. Hated Batman. Wants his life back. Thinks he got cheated from his life.
