PERSONALITY

[birdthright]

[birdthright]

Look at this child, he's positively darling! With that ever-present scowl on his face, that unyielding glare, that blood-stained sword in his arms so eager to break flesh; how could you not adore him? Quite easily, actually. Most people can't stand him. This is Damian Wayne, and there's nothing delightful about him at all. At first glance, he looks like any other ten-year old boy. Short but athletic build, round cheeks, blue eyes, a colourful Robin costume if you catch him at night -- why, he looks like a child out trick-or-treating on Halloween! Then, he opens his mouth. And words come out. Mean words. Words questioning authority, words belittling competence and intelligence, words promising a swift and painful execution at his small, tiny hands. Never taught to hold his tongue, Damian simply says whatever he wants to say. If he finds someone a nuisance, he will tell them that. If he finds someone incompetent, he will tell them that. If he feels a desire to stab someone in the stomach, he will ... well, you get it. His sentences are

Competence is very important to Damian. His mother was a perfectionist, and it is without a doubt that the League of Assassins that raised him were highly-trained and perhaps unrivaled of their field. This left Damian with an appreciation for the skilled, and a disdain for the unskilled. His differing treatment toward those he deems competent and incompetent is very painfully apparent. To the ones he deem competent, there is less mocking. He speaks with respect, and may even perform gestures most would consider 'nice'. An immediate example would include Colin Wilkes. Colin is a fellow ten-year old who has teamed up with Damian with satisfying results. In thinly-veiled gratitude, and perhaps to enlist Colin as a potential ally, he gave him a motorcycle to make his crime-fighting operations smoother. Damian has yet to be seen giving anyone anything otherwise. On the other hand, to the ones he finds incompetent, Damian is a pest. He will pick at their flaws -- whether relevant ones like a sloppy fight style or inability to keep up, or

Behind the sarcasm, blunt nature and general unpleasantness, Damian does have a desire to do what's right. If the ruthless way he deals with criminals -- how ruthless directly proportional to the severity of their crimes -- indicates anything, it's this. He's not quite at the level of adhering completely to the superhero moral code, but he may get there someday. Killers who choose children as their victims get a particularly strong reaction out of him, perhaps because he identifies with others his own age. At the sight of the corpses of Victor Zsasz's young victims, Damian was physically repulsed. He gagged, then seethed -- probably already planning to give Zsasz a taste of his own medicine. He nearly did kill him, too, but stopped his sword at the last minute -- just an inch or two short of severing the spine. Damian takes his job seriously, and will try his darndest to save those who are helpless. If he cannot accomplish that, he takes the responsibility onto himself. Sasha was a girl he failed to save from Professor Pyg. The trauma
