Personality
Although he is very young during the incept of the Team, his tutelage under Batman made Dick a very capable member of the team. Unlike the other sidekicks on the Team he is completely capable of leading his own mission apart from his comrades and on most cases he succeeds, if the mission is in danger of failing Dick is the first person to make a sacrifice to see it successful. In contrast with the personality of Bruce Wayne his mentor, who was very serious and cold in most situations, Dick is still a bit immature and light hearted, he takes joy in most things that he does such as training exercises.
When it comes to his friends, young Dick is very jovial much like a regular teenager, and although he is primary mission coordinator the team often sees him as a ''little brother'' type of figure. He is not above making fun of his friends when they make mistakes. However, the person on the team he seems the most CLOSE to is Kid Flash, whom he often treats as a brother.
Despite his child like behavior, Dick is a natural tactician and is able to take in all elements of a situation in in an instant and calculate a plan of action that will provide the best outcome. However Dick's faith in his own ability was shaken when he was fooled by Miss Martian into thinking his teammates were killed right in front of his eyes. Prior to the incident Dick wished to be just like his mentor Bruce, however afterwards he wanted to be different from Batman. He was done being willing to sacrifice whatever in the name of completing his mission, seeing his friends to be more valuable. And despite his experience with being a hero already Robin agrees that Aqualad should be the one to become leader of the team.
While he attends his school Dick is a very studious young man. He takes pride in his work, because he believes that he without knowledge would be useless to the team as he is in possession of no extraordinary power. Whenever he tends to think about his family Dick becomes overwhelmed with grief, and a want to see them terribly. He does perhaps get jealous of the abilities with which his teammates have been bestowed, and sometimes he even feels out of place because he can do nothing spectacular. Yet he does not let this doubt stay in his mind for too long as it would affect his business with the team, and second guessing and self degradation has no place on this Team.

History
Born to a family of acrobats, Dick Grayson begins his life with an exciting childhood growing up in the circus. With his parents, John and Mary Grayson, his family forms " The Flying Graysons," famed trapeze artists and acrobats.
These happy times soon take a turn for the worse, as the mafia begins targeting the circus. At eight years old, Dick witnesses mob boss Anthony Zucco threatens the circus owner, demanding insurance for the safety of his performers. The owner vehemently refuses the extortion and Dick goes along his way. Unfortunately, Zucco decides to use the headlining act, which happened to be The Flying Graysons, as an example.
As the Graysons plummet to earth, hundreds of spectators watch in horror. Among them are billionaire Bruce Wayne. Feeling empathy for the boy's loss, Bruce decides to take the boy in as his legal ward, as none of Dick's family wanted him, and as he lost his most of his family, his Uncle is the only survivor of the incident though he remains in a coma until this day. The major difference between Bruce and Dick is that while Bruce's swore vengeance on his parents’ grave, Dick Grayson swore justice, which helped him cope with the death better then Bruce had his own parents.
After a short while, Dick realizes what his mentor is doing all these late nights, and eventually chooses the same life as well. Bruce decides that with the boy's extensive training in acrobatics and his sense of justice, he has just what’s needed to become the Batman's partner. After rigorous training from Bruce, Robin, the Boy Wonder, is christened.
Dick enjoys his first year as Robin describing it as an adventure; he battles villains such as Mad Hatter, Penguin, Joker, Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, and Blockbuster.
After several years of fighting by Batman's side, Robin decides he’s ready to join the Justice League as a full fledged member along with Speedy, Aqualad, and Kid Flash. However when they are informed that this will not be happening they are sent to investigate Cadmus Labs. During their investigation they discover the Genomorph project and Superboy, whom they free. Soon after they confront their mentors and declare that they are ready to prove themselves as heroes. Batman decides that they are correct and grants them a headquarters in Mount Justice, where The Martian Manhunter introduces them to his niece Miss Martian who will also be joining their team.
After the team is assembled they are afforded one mission before they eventually become restless from their inactivity. However this is changed when the team has to fight and eventually defeat Mister Twister, this renewed faith that the team was actually legit. Their next major mission was to stop the production of the neo steroid Venom being manufactured on Santa Prisca by Bane.
Following these events The Team picks up several more members including Rocket, Artemis and Zatanna, whom Dick immediately showed interest in. Also the Team began to train with heros such as Black Canary and Captain Atom for help in areas such as espionage. They carry out numerous missions including the mission in Bialya when they encountered Psimon who blocked their memories from the past six months.
In December of 2010 Robin and The Team came up against their biggest threat when they were forced to save the League members from the mind control of The Light. A group consisting of Vandal Savage, Ra's Al Ghul, Lex Luthor, Queen Bee, Brain, Klarion and Blank Manta.

Sample Roleplay
'1! 2! 3!', he kept count in his head as he worked the heavy weight bag with punches and kicks over and over yet again. The visions had stuck with young Grayson, the images of his comrades dying while on his watch. He could not stand the thought of being an incapable leader, Bruce had put him here for a reason and to him he was failing. But instead of getting down on himself, he decided to turn his deficiencies into his strengths. He was small, which in turn meant he was faster than most, he was crafty, which to him meant he would out smart most, and nobody could tell him he was not fit to lead this team, if Bruce Wayne thought he could do it then it was something he could do.
With one swift high kick Dick the bag curled around his foot and lifted up towards the ceiling to begin to swing back down towards where Dick was standing. He cocked back his fist and unleashed a deafeningly loud punch that ripped the large sand bag from it's harness on the ceiling and sending it careening into the wall it hung in front of. But if there was one thing he had an abundance of for a human, it was strength, strength that he was not afraid to use.
He unwrapped the tape from around his fists to reveal his ruby red knuckles, undoubtedly he gained them from working that stupid bag. They did not hurt, to him their red hue was nothing more than the fire that burned within him to prove his worth as a the leader of this group of young heroes. At first he thought his experience as Batman's sidekick gave him the RIGHT to lead. But it did not, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of his team are what would make him a true fit. As days went by he learned this more and more, Bruce wasn't a great hero because he was ultra powerful or whatever, he was a hero because he knew his limits and worked past them to be great. And this is what Dick had to do as well.
