AGE: 16
SEX: male
CODENAME: Drifter
ALIASES: Blondie and Ninja Punk
AFFILIATION: Hero
STATUS: Drifter started his crime fighting career back when the Titans were in Europe fighting the Brotherhood. However he hadn't been in the public eye.
CANON: No
PLAYBY: Unknown
THE GOOD STUFF;;
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Drifter is about five feet, nine inches and has blonde hair and blue eyes. Drifter has a slender but strong physique similar to that of a runner or an acrobat. His hair goes down to his shoulders and when his mask is removed he has a very soft, innocent appearance that is almost angelic. His eyes are really brown but he wears blue contacts that have a built in head-up display.
His ensemble is very reminiscent to a ninja's but with a slight urban makeover. He dresses in all black and wears grind shoes that are black with a purple trim. His suit is also covered in straps and belts so it won't come off in battle. The main reason he dresses like this is because it blends in the dark. The costume can be pulled inside out to look like a normal hoodie and jeans.
His clothes are a blend of nomex and kevlar making it fire proof and bullet proof and wears a chainmail vest underneath to resist knives. His face mask also works as a device that changes his voice and is a gas mask. His utility belt is comprised of simple pouches and is a dark purple. His shoes make him look slightly taller than he is to make him more intimidating. He wears black gloves that are shock proof.
PERSONALITY: Drifter is a daredevil at heart, always willing to cheat death when he has the chance. He'll jump of skyscrapers, fight monsters, or get in a high speed chase for the thrill of it. This reckless behavior often has people think that he's an idiot or he doesn't understand his mortality. This is completely untrue. He doesn't do these stunts just for the thrill but for practice as well.
Drifter's sense of humor is for the most part sarcastic, similar to the vein of Raven's but a little more flamboyant. He'll tease and undermine enemies and even some friends but for the most part his humor is very dry and almost hard to identify as either a joke or a serious statement. He often points out the flaws in people's logic and is a real smart ass at times. He pretends to be cocky in order to upset his opponents.
Drifter has an incredible talent for inventing and overall has an creative outlook on situations. He employs nonlinear thinking to come up with answers that others may not have even considered. This has helped him in cases where he needed to use detective skills or set up a strategy that would allow him to face enemies that significantly outnumber him.
POWERS AND/OR ABILITIES: Drifter is completely human but is trained in free running, ninjutsu, and a number of martial arts. He is also smart enough to create gadgets that rival Robin's or Speedy's while on the salary of a delivery boy. He uses tonfas, various shuriken, (some explode, some deploy smoke, some heat seak, etc.) bombs, a grapnel-gun, kunai, and chains. He also has his own motorcycle though it isn't particularly cutting edge.
WEAKNESSES:
1.The number one weakness for Drifter when compared to other heroes and villains is that he has no super powers and doesn't have the resources to match other tech based heroes. He simply doesn't have the money.
2. Drifter is often to trusting of others and their motivations. He often takes peoples word even the villains which has bit him in the butt a few times. When this isn't kept in check he often doesn't investigate as thoroughly as he should.
3. When he fails at something he really goes into a downward spiral. he often pushes himself to hard and exhausts himself while training. This has made him more vulnerable emotionally and physically. He has to go the distance or go home.
GOALS:
1. Drifter wants to eventually become a Teen Titan or at least be an honorary one. That's what he says anyways but in reality he just wants recognition and respect from the group.
2. Wants to be recognized by his own merit and not to be treated like a Robin clone or even worse a Speedy clone. he cringes at the though of being thought of as a clone of a clone.
3. Drifter wants above all things to stop as much crime as possible. He wants to make amends for his time in the League of Assassins.
HISTORY:
Troy Donnel was a homeless kid in the slums of New York where he made his living out of pick pocketing and stealing. He got the scare of his life when he was caught pick-pocketing an undercover assassin. The assassin took mercy on the boy and shanghaied him into the League of Assassins. While he never caught the attention to Ras' al Ghul nor had he even met the man he was still a competent fighter and showed a real talent for inventing. He left the group after figuring out that they actually killed who they thought was evil. Not believing that an organization hiding in the shadows have the right or understanding to judge people, Troy later left and went under the alias of Drifter.
Drifter spent later years developing his skills but didn't really do anything with them. He didn't think that he had to be a hero. After all he was in Jump City so he let the Titans handle things. He went through school and worked at the pizza place that the Titans often frequented but wasn't of any importance. He has lived in the city for about three years now.
Drifter rose to action when the Titans were being taken out one by one while being around the world. Although the Titans East had filled in briefly during this time, they were still busy working in their own turf as well which left forces split between the two at times. Eventually when even they disappeared. Drifter put on a costume and started helping out the city. He has not gained much renown just yet nor has he even been contacted by the Titans but Drifter goes on anyways.
THE NITTY-GRITTY;;
SCREENNAME: Mike
Time spent roleplaying: Three years
Other Characters: (If this isn't your first one, list 'em here. Otherwise, N/A)
RP Sample:
Apparently all the heroes were out of town today. That or they were just playing hooky or perhaps it was all a big joke. "That must be it." Drifter thought to himself. Why else would no one come to stop Mumbo. Sure he wasn't exactly the number one threat this city had to offer but he still had a history. He dodged as Mumbo's hat shot out a boxing glove.
"You know Mumbo, the trick isn't nearly as effective without a punch line to go with it. Or was that the punchline I just skipped over? Ever hear of leading your target?" he said with a chuckle.
"Hold still you! I want to perform to a captive audience. Mumbo Jumbo!" he said with cackle as chains shot from his wand.
Drifter was bound tightly but not for long. He pulled out a kunai from his a pouch in his belt and sliced clean through. Drifter threw a smoke bomb afterwards but Mumbo simply had a giant fan to blow it away.
"Say hello to my biggest fan!" mumbo said now laughing like a madman. Well...even more like a madman. He snorted as he laughed now. Apparently this was a riot.
"Wow talk about cliche Mumbo. I thought you were gonna entertain me not put me into dreamland."
As the fight continued Drifter didn't even have to keep his head in the game. He started thinking, "Maybe they know I'm here and think got it handled? Or maybe this is some initiation thing. I got to pay my dues first." he said to himself as he dodged giant acid spewing flowers, cutting them in his path. Giant teddy bears came to life and rushed him. Drifter pulled out his tonfas and whacked away at them , bashing their heads off in the process.
Mumbo wouldn't let up. he really thought he had the upper hand to. No, not even close. Drifter was guessing that the magician was having an off day because this was way too easy. He was actually having so much that he was actually toying with Mumbo. But Drifter had his fun and needed to end things. He threw a shuriken at Mumbo but Mumbo dodged and it just kept flying.
"Wow you're a terrible shot kid. Even Speedy is better that you!" he said as he started laughing.
All of a sudden it was over. The shuriken had a heat seak targeting Mumbo so it came back behind him. It exploded and a net popped out and caught him. Now Drifter had his foot on Mumbo's stomach and pressed a little. He stabbed Mumbo's hat with a kunai and tore it to shreds. As the police sirens cane in earshot, Drifter shot a grapnel-gun and swung away. He felt a little bad though. He couldn't think up a closing before he left.
